Learning Goal: I’m working on a communications writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.
This discussion should be 3-4 paragraphs in length.
Choose any theory, method, or concept from Chapter 6 of the textbook (Rhetorical Ways of Knowing).
In the first paragraph, elaborate and explain your chosen rhetorical concept. Feel free to provide credible and relevant references from outside the textbook.
Next, provide a quick explanation and summary of a current event or issue of your choosing. Please cite any sources (news articles, etc.)
In the last two paragraphs, apply your chosen concept/theory/method to the event and rhetorically analyze the event. In other words, how does this concept help us explain what is going on in the case you’ve chosen?
Example concepts (not an exhaustive list):
