CHAPTER 3 & 4
In class today we would discuss the book " Thank You for Arguing", as well as continuing to learn about rhetoric. We would first discuss chapter 3. The title of chapter three is "Control the Tense", and this chapter would intel three core issues.
It would relate to " Thank You for Smoking "
BLAME ( The Past ) - IS IT NICK'S FAULT?
VALUES ( The Present ) - IS IT OKAY TO PROMOTE SMOKING?
CHOICE ( The Future ) - SHOULD WE LABLE CIGARETTES WITH A SKULL-AND-CROSSBONES?
With anything anybody ever does their will always be people there to criticize you. Using the three core values they can question what you're doing and use these values to criticize you. Such as blaming you for something that would happen, whether what your doing is right, and what will happen in the future because of it.
Is it fair to criticize any and everything somebody does even-if it has no direct correlation to you or society?
