Discussing Visual Elements

The blog below will discuss visual elements involved within my own upcoming essay. My paper and subject is more generally textual and statistical but I will be discussing the amount of visual elements involved as it stands.

Do the different visual and textual elements come together persuasively as a whole, or are there elements that seem disconnected or out of place?

Typically within this subject, it is needed for all textual elements to come together as a whole to make coherent sense. Visual elements don't play a huge factor in helping the essay to come together.

Is the visual-rhetorical tone of your project consistent? \

I thoroughly believe that all visual-rhetorical tone involved in my outline is completely consistent with each element involved. The visual-rhetorical elements involved within my outline are discussed minimally but do still seem to remain consistent with each other in the overall context of the papers outline.

If you are calling your audience to take specific action, is this call specifically developed? Do they know what action they can take or what steps they can take?

The call I am making is actually specific to the audience I am attracting. The audience will be told in the paper of what they should how and what they should do to complete this action. This essay is meant to create the call to action.

If you are calling your audience to take action, are the consequences of not taking action and benefits clearly expressed?

Throughout my essay I will be elaborating what could be and what is actually happening because of outsourcing. Through this, the audience will be able to see what benefits and consequences not only them, but others could go through and receive if they do or don't take action.

Looking back at your images,  are they placed or sequenced in the most persuasive way?

My essay does not contain any sort of supporting images. However, should there have been any sort of images involved, it would be extremely important to place them in the most persuasive way possible.

Do too many visual images make your text seem busy and disorganized?

This is all a matter of opinion. If the images are placed in a smart and easily understandable way, they should not be an issue.However, if they seem to serve no real purpose, than they would make the text seem busy and disorganized.

REFLECTION

I looked back at Isaac's piece to see how we were either similar or different in our answers to this visual image based questions. I found that we were completely different. As my piece will not involve much visual elements to it, his does involve a lot of visual characteristics to help get his point across, which is where we differ greatly.

Project 3 Outline

Unknown. Francis Tax Service

In this blog post I will be outlining my essay using strategies from the Writing Public Lives sections given to us.

Introduction

The best way to introduce my argument, provided by the given sections, is to connect the issue your audiences world view. The theory behind this is to appeal to the audiences political, business, financial, social, religious, and personal views on the subject at hand. By appealing to these/using this as a hook for your (my) essay, the author is able to better gain the attention of the reader by appealing to the specific views listed previously. For my argument specifically, which is based on the negative aspects of job outsourcing, this would fit well as it could appeal to political, financial, business, and social views in the audience. The topic of outsourcing could also bring the audience to recall personal experience with this topic, thus drawing in more interest to the subject.

Developing Strong Supportive Paragraphs

1. Outsourcing benefits our nations companies and the economies of other countries, has possibilities of bringing foreign based companies to America and improving both economies along the way.
2.outsourcing takes away american jobs, takes away from the american economy, increases the gap between the middle, lower classes and the upper class, creates higher unemployment.
3. The key point I would use to argue and support of outsourcing would be that it takes away jobs from hard working americans as well takes away opportunity to help support our economy.
4. Many companies nationwide have practiced outsourcing under the impression that it benefits Americans more than hurts them, however, according to public opinion among the 2.3 million who jobs were outsourced over the last decade, that is not completely true.
5. Key statistic: 2.3 million jobs taken and outsourced over the last decade.

Concluding Strategies 

The best suited conclusion idea to follow my introduction is a call to action. The main purpose of this essay will be to really get people to become active in developing and creating groups against outsourcing. I will need to develop a motivational way to say that the audience should rise to this occasion and develop these groups.

- The genre is generally set within the United States of America business world. The center of my genre will focus on American Business.

-The general subject of my genre is the negative impacts on American jobs due to the act of job outsourcing to foreign countries.

-The general person who would use this type of genre are reporters and writers who focus on the development and constant news flow about controversies and who typically have a strong opinion the said controversy.

-The specific genre is used when a new controversy comes up and the media feels they need to display their own opinion and help inform the general public of this controversy and their own personal opinions. This serves as a means of helping people gain an opinion and stance on the subject.


-Content that is usually excluded is generally information that would either not give important context for the controversy or that it would sway your opinion away from where they want you to be. The media would generally include all information and wording that would sway you to their way as best as possible.

- Usually the most used rhetorical strategy is ethos and pathos. Emotion usually plays a big roll in gaining support affecting opinion. As well, pathos is very important in the selection of words to help influence ethos.

-Texts are organized specifically in a way to either information in a way that will feed information in an important way to gain full context or to gain full view of the author.

-Words chosen are usually passionate and strong as too make the controversy a lot more emotional and seem a lot bigger than it could possibly be actually.

-Values and beliefs included are usually judged by what the author feels is important or not to the context of the subject.

-The genre treats the authors opinion and all information involved in it as the generally most important information.




REFLECTION

I looked at Isaac and Andrea's blogs and was impressed with what I saw. They both clearly found articles with clear correlation with each other and the genres that they have chosen. I noticed that Andrea's was more similar to min, so I had more interest and was able to take that and add onto mine because of what i've read.

Considering Types

For my argument, I plan on most likely taking the position of a position argument. As I am trying to show the audience how the bad outweighs the good in the context of this debate. To affect opinion, its best to show both the good and the bad, too. By doing this I can give the audience a fair shot at forming an opinion while also showing my own personal opinion as well as the opinion of the media I am using to gain this information.
Most of the other argument styles may also be able to help convey the idea correctly, except for a refutation argument. Were are merely trying to explain it and get people to show opinion and cause action because of their opinion. A refutation argument is trying to disprove the argument. There is no room to disprove it, only to express it and gain backing on the debate.

Spiegal, Alex. How Politicians Get Away With Dodging The Question.

I read both Hallye and Isaac's positions on "Considering Types." It was good to see two differing opinions on how arguments. I personally agree more with Hallye's argument than Isaac's. I personally believe that a position argument is more beneficial to my type of argument.

My Rhetorical Action Plan

Below will be a long post answering all the questions from the above pictures.

1. Audience

The, subject of the my debate, has been a hot topic for many previous elections. Thus, it is to be assumed that my audience knows about my debate. Although, I will not refrain from discussing and detailing the topic of my debate. It is highly possible that they have predispositions. The only control I have over this is just to do my best to affect their opinions. 

The ideals held up the audience is all dependent on where they are from and how they were raised. 

The best way to attract an audience is to use both statistical evidence and quotations from major voices.  The way I would translate this is by placing a corresponding stat with a quote to help add context to the statistical evidence. 

The best visual elements I could use are using any video possible to help back up information, if this was an article. As this is a paper discussing the debate, the best way to use visual elements is to use photos of any main players in the discussion that play a major role in the debate over outsourcing, specifically David Perdue

The audience's purpose in reading this argument is to gain information and an opinion on the topic of the outsourcing of American Jobs. I am personally trying to encourage the activism for the return of what was once a primarily American job. 

2. Genre

The Function of this specific genre is to show how there are two sides to every argument and that it is important to reflect on both to create a valid opinion. It is designed to show the audience both the good and bad sides of the argument. The setting of my specific genre is the American business frontier.

The most likely type of rhetorical strategy I will implore the most is ethos. Ethos is the most effective in gaining sympathy out of the reader. It is important to see implications of what the companies around us are doing that may affect our personal lives too much.

I will use a more formal conversational style of writing to discuss this genre. This is a serious subject, thus making it more formal, but it  is also important to act like you relate to the the audience, making conversational also appropriate. 

3.Negative and Positive Responses 

Positive Reactions:

- The sway to side of the disagreement with outsourcing 

-People become more active about affect the return of jobs. 

- Politicians begin to step up their attempts to fix the american job system. 

Negative rebuttals

- economists saying that outsourcing jobs helps america more than hurts it

- by bringing back our jobs we hurt other countries, how is that morally right?

- Companies begin to speed up the outsourcing of jobs in spite of article such as the ones I am using as a source.
