quarantine and finals week

I can't believe it’s finals week already. I wish everyone good luck on all their finals and have a great summer!! Quarantine is suppose to be over today but I think they will probably extend it for longer. During my time in quarantine, I started to workout and eat healthier. The workouts I like to do are by this youtuber, Chloe Ting. She has great workouts that are very challenging and help you get back in shape. I did her two week shred challenge which included abs, legs, and whole body workouts. I started doing her workouts at the beginning of this quarantine and I have lost 8 lbs! I am very happy about that because it makes me feel better about myself and love myself even more. She also has great options for healthier snacks. Here is a picture of someone’s results after the 2 week challenge!

Rhetoric and Exercise

Rhetoric is far more intertwined within society than I could have ever expected it to be. I am looking for rhetoric everywhere I look, whether it's the news or at a department store. One thing I particularity found interesting was on how we can use it to sway people to exercise more.. Many people may know that I am trying to become a Physical Education Teacher, and it is part of my job to motivate young adults to adopt healthy behaviors for life. If I learn how to use rhetoric effectively than I am almost guaranteed to sway these young adults to achieve there health goals. Approaching rhetoric with Pathos is a method to pull emotion into why it is important to build healthy habits like exercise, and why achieving your body shape goals are achievable through hard work.

Charlie Rose Interview-- Thank You for Smoking

Just before the movie  Thank You for Smoking  was released, Charlie Rose (PBS) interviewed Christopher Buckley (the author of the original book), Jason Reitman (the script writer and director of the movie), David Sacks (who produced the movie, his first), and Aaron Eckhardt (the actor who played Nick Naylor). I find this interview interesting for a variety of reasons, some of which I will detail here. 1.  Buckley notes that Reitman had been screening the movie at college campuses across the country. Reitman recalls one particular showing at the University of California at Berkeley, which he says is an intimidating place to screen a "libertarian film" (more on that later).  During the Q & A session (after the film), one older lady stood up and starting berating him for not going after Big Tobacco for doing such evil things.  And the students starting booing her until she shut up.  Reitman is quite pleased with that response.  Why? 2.  El...

Media and Rhetoric

Now that our eyes have been opened to rhetoric I have begun to notice how rhetoric is used everywhere. I tend to specifically notice rhetoric in media, really just advertisements. Many advertisements will use a rhetorical appeal to build and construct arguments to sway consumers to pursue and purchase whatever product or service the company is selling. With advertisements in media, it's a bit different than the rhetoric we have been studying in class, in-class we only really see rhetoric in say a court setting, or someone talking to a group of people with there full attention. But with advertisements people aren't usually paying close attention to them, so ad companies have to find a way to get the important information across, while grabbing, and keeping, the attention of the consumer, all while within a thirty second to a couple minute time frame. So what advertisements are, is a simple version of rhetoric where a company is trying to convince masses to purchase whatever the...
