"Playing For A Change"

"Playing For A Change" - Stand By Me

The title tells a lot about what the song is intended to do. He is literally playing for a change in humanity. The video uses elements of Rhetoric to create an argument in a visual way. In order to make the video he needed the equipment to do so. In order to make the video he also needed to find talented musicians, who knew how to play different instruments and sing. He traveled to video people from different countries. They are all connecting to one another through music or this particular song. Everyone who was featured was outside. To emphasize that we are all part of this world, all humans and equal. Everyone was outside to dwell on humbleness. The words that most appealed to me were "Always need somebody to stand by you," and by that he meant someone you know, maybe someone you don't know, or maybe even someone from another country but everyone needs somebody. The images that most impacted me were when he started showing the people and naming the countries from around the world. Everyone was different but they all know how to spread love which supported the message.What you need to know to understand this message is love. Love for others, even strangers or people who may not have the same culture or style as you etc. Knowledge created by this message is to spread love wherever with whomever. You will change the world even a little at a time. Also peace, how people can find peace in each other even with being a bit different. The message is delivered through a music video, which is a more artistic approach. The video argues against violence because he is not playing music of hatred or vulgarity. He is playing music of peace and love intended to create a domino effect to spread peace and love around the world.

College Is A Waste?

Paragraph #1 Thesis Statement " I believe higher education is broken." This sentence clearly states what position he has taken or what his thoughts are on college education. He firmly states that his position in this essay is that college is a waste of time. Paragraph #2 & 3 He really basis his evidence on opinion. "I t rewards conformity rather than independence, competition rather than collaboration, regurgitation rather than learning, and theory rather than application. Our creativity, innovation, and curiosity are schooled out of us." " Failure is punished instead of seen as a learning opportunity. We think of college as a steppin g- stone to success rather than a means to gain knowledge. College fails to empower us with the skills necessary to become productive members of today’s global entrepreneurial economy." Paragraph #4 The main evidence is finally provided that really supports the Thesis Statement. " In the bo...

Response to Gerard Jones "Violent Media Is Good For Kids"

Gerard Jones may believe Violent Media is good for kids but his attempt to convince us are just opinions from his viewpoint. He starts of with personal emotions and opinions. The upside to this is that sometimes people may sympathize and connect to his emotions with him. "I suffocated my deepest fears and desires into a young boy persona." He is trying to connect with the reader by letting them know that he couldn't be himself, he had to hide under someone he wasn't and by saying this he is interpreting that he is not the only child out there that isn't aloud to express themselves in a matter in which they want to. "I withdrew into passivity and loneliness." Here he is trying to earn the readers sympathy by letting them know that without being able to express himself he withdrew from others and that can happen to other kids too. Then he uses his mothers student opinion as reference stating they believe comics are actually positive. "One of my mot...

Why I am Interested in this topic? What I Know?

Research Question : How do humans contribute to animal extinction? Thesis : Humans polluting the environment has triggered animal extinction. I am interested in this topic because I have a love for animals. Animals are like people and they have homes and lives they want to live and we are consciously or unconsciously taking that away from them.

People who may be interested in my topic are animal sanctuaries or people who genuinely care for animals. Even peop...
