This week’s discussion centers on the fallacies discussed in Chapter 5 in order to gain a better understanding of how to identify them, why they might be persuasive, and why they might be dangerous when we allow ourselves to accept conclusions based on this fallacious reasoning. It will ask you to first choose two different fallacies and explain your understanding of them, giving an example of each of them; then discuss why you think it is persuasive; and finally discuss the possible dangers of being swayed by them.Here are step-by-step instructions on what to do:1) Read Chapter 5, pages 155-178 in the 5th edition of the textbook The Power of Critical Thinking, or just up to the section titled “Persuaders: Rhetorical Moves” (Stop when you reach this section.) Take notes regarding each of the fallacies of “irrelevant premises” and “unacceptable premises”.2) Write your initial post. In your post:Choose one of the fallacies of irrelevant premises and one of the fallacies of unacceptable premises and explain each fallacy: describe it and give your own example of how someone might use this fallacy in their reasoning. You may consider reasoning you’ve heard in politics, the media including social media, advertisement, or discussions you have with family and friends as you think about your example.Explain why you think the use of this fallacious reasoning could be persuasive in terms of getting people to accept a claim or be taken in by them. Discuss possible dangers presented by allowing ourselves to be taken in by the fallacies you identify. How might they misguide our beliefs and the choices we make based on them? Why as a critical thinker do you think it is important to be able to recognize and avoid making those decisions based on fallacious reasoning?

solved Summary is a natural place to start any writing activity

/in /by

Summary is a natural place to start any writing activity that involves reading other texts.  Summary is often used as a prewriting step to clarify the author’s actual message and purpose.  Often this involves active reading, highlighting passages, annotating in the margins, and rereading.  It’s very difficult to use someone else’s words and ideas when you aren’t certain what is really going on in the text. 
For this assignment, you are asked to compose an effective summary of the Frederick Douglas Escape from Slavery essay. To help you compose an effective summary, please review the linked document “How to Write a Summary.” Also, be sure to refer to the active reading strategies you reviewed and practiced in Module 1.
Concepts to keep in mind when writing a successful summary:

Summary Definition A summary provides a concisely expressed explanation of the selection’s content: what the author’s main points are, what particular methods the author uses, etc.  Your focus in summary writing is always on the primary and main supporting points rather than on the details of the text.
The text is objective: this means you should not editorialize or evaluate the text by either reading between the lines or judging the article as “masterful” or “insulting,” etc.
The text is in third person: For a brief summary like this, there is no reason for any I statements such as “I think she’s saying…” or “I believe…” etc.
The author is the subject in most, if not all, sentences.  Remember, people, not articles, write, so avoid phrases such as “The article is saying…”  Instead, start most sentences with subject/verb like this: “Heywood argues…,” “The author claims…,” “She supports her assertion with…” etc.

You have probably written these before. They begin with an attention-getter, introduce the issue, then state a formal
thesis. You must include evidence to support your thesis. Then, the following paragraphs explore the evidence,
usually in a similar format: Topic sentence, quote or paraphrase, and commentary on the evidence.
The essay concludes by saying how you’ve supported your thesis and what the reader should learn or take away
from this reading.
1. ____ 6 quotes from book to support your Thesis (do not summarize the quote for your reader, everyone should
have read the book)
Example: In the Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Death was characterized as reflective, often tired, and often loving.
Few movies or television shows do the same; rather Death is portrayed as horrific, painful, violent, and often Death
is male. Due to the fact many of us fear death, I believe the entertainment industry preys upon our fears. Yet, I can’t
help but ask why? Humanizing death in the Book Thief, telling a story through the eyes of death, portrayed a deeper,
important message to the reader and also gives a subtle message about gender
stereotypes.
2. ____ proper MLA (in text and parenthetical citations), including Works Cited page
3. ____ 3 – 4 pages, Times, 12 font, double spaced, page numbers, proper heading
4. ____ thesis, body paragraphs, conclusion
a. ____ introduction has a hook and a clear thesis
b. ____ body paragraphs contain quotes from book, properly cited, only one block quote
(3 or more lines)
c. ____ how does your conclusion answer the question: Why/how is the Book Thief
relevant to today? Draw a concrete parallel to something occurring in our world,
United States, your community, your state, your campus, and elaborate on how it
all connects.

You will write a 5 page, double spaced paper that focuses on the detailed analysis of a still image. The image you choose can come from any area: pop culture, high art, photojournalism, etc. It cannot be an image that you created, from the text, or one you have previously used in your visual glossary or any section assignments. You should find your image interesting and compelling, and its meanings should be complex enough to warrant extended analysis. use your knowledge of visual culture from this course to consider the one you choose and put its complex meanings in context. Using concepts and theorists from our class readings and at least 5 outside, academic sources, unpack the image of your choice and argue for its current importance in the present day. To do so you should give a detailed description of formal elements of the image itself (including things like the choice of medium, aesthetic, perspective, use of color, gaze, composition, how it references other images, etc.) and put the image in context by relating it to broader social discourses, reactions of those from different cultural groups, and through your own sense of identification with it. In addition to analyzing the image itself, discuss the production of the image (how, when, why, and by whom it was made) and how it has been received by relevant audiences. Ultimately, you will put all of these elements together to explain how/why the image you have chosen is important to you and our society.In addition to concepts from our texts, I am asking you to cite at least 5 other sources in the paper. They can be specific to the type of image you have chosen, provide a theoretical or methodological framework for your analysis, or analyze similar objects, helping to put yours in context.

These 2 reports will count as a combined 20% toward your final grade. In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this:Christian Pettersen, “In Guatemala, Will Old Foreign Policies Bring New Results?,” NACLA Report on the Americas website (August 3, 2021).In terms of the content of each report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a summary of the main points in the article that you selected. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What is the main issue being discussed? (i.e. immigration, elections, education, environment, women’s issues, crime, etc.) Who are the main personalities mentioned in the article? (i.e. Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President Biden, Vice-President Harris, former President Trump, etc.) How does the issue affect the people of the country mentioned in the article? Does the issue have any connection with United States interests? What do you think could be the best solution to resolve this problem?And for the second point of discussion, please analyze the article that you selected and present your point of view on the story. For example, how do you feel about the story? How did this article contribute to your understanding about modern Latin America? And what do you think about the author’s perspective on the article? How does this topic have any connection to contemporary political, economic or cultural themes in the United States today?
