Movement

First the director uses contextualizing because he zooms out from the submarine under water. Then words appear on the screen to allow the under water scene of the boat to load. This scene using revealing because it now shows the under water boat and the submarine which was not available earlier to the audience. Again, words are put on the screen to allow transition from the boat under water to the boat sailing. Next, pointing is used because initially, the screen showed the whole front of the boat and then zoomed in on Rose and Jack. Again, words are put on the screen. Examining is used next as the director shows the audience the boat. Contextualizing is used again after the audience has seen the different components of the boat because the director pulls away and shows the entire boat instead of individual pieces. Pointing is used for around 8 seconds from different major scenes in the movie reminding the audience why they fell in love with Titanic in the first place. Words flash upon the screen again to allow the loading because the next scene is a long shot of the entire boat sailing at night.

Teen Driving Age Should be Raised, Says Auto Safety Group

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/09/teen-driving-age-should-b_n_125010.html

Article includes statements such as “the bottom line is that when we look at the research, raising the driving age saves lives” by Adrian Lund, president of the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Contains research information from New Jersey, the only state that issues license at 17. In New Jersey, various studies have been shown that the overall rate of teens killed in crashes has been consistently lower. Example one study found that crash related deaths among 16 and 7 ear old were 18 per 100,000 in New Jersey compared with 26 per 10,000 in Connecticut. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal, per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the rate for drivers ages 30 to 59 according to the National Highway Safety Administration. Uses other credible sources such as Dr. Barbara Gaines, who is the trauma director at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburg.

Should we Raise the Legal Driving Age?

http://www.drive-safely.net/driving-age.html

Auto accidents are the leading causes of death among teenagers. A 16 year old is almost twice as likely to die in a car crash than a 30 year old. New distractions such as cell phones while driving; therefore, if we take the most dangerous drivers off the road, we will not only save their lives but we will also make the roadways safer for everyone else. However, people argue that is age really the biggest factor to consider? If the legal age is raised to 17 wouldn’t they now just have the highest accident rate due to lack of experience? Many argue that our decision-making skills aren’t fully developed at 16. Some argue that we have to let our children go because it is a right of passage. However, people need to consider what is important.

Driving Age, Raised to 18

This website lists all of the different pros and cons of increasing the driving age. Some pros include teenage drivers are particularly dangerous. Example, they are fearless and thrill seeking, taking risks that older drivers would not do and they are more influenced by peer pressure and competitiveness. Another strong pro is that rising the driving age will mean that fewer cars will be driven. Thus, fewer vehicles (about 2%) on the road, which will benefit society as a whole. The article argues that an increase in the driving age can also help tackle obesity.

driving age

The topic that I am most interested in researching is should the legal driving age be raised to 18. Every year there are tragic car accident deaths, the leading death cause for teenagers, and I would hope that if the legal driving age were raised that many of these accidents could be avoided. A fifteen year old or sixteen year old is simply not ready to take on all of the responsibilities of driving. Even though many laws have been initiated to keep people from texting and driving or even having too many people in the car, teenagers are still loosing their lives everyday due to car accidents.  Also, even though these laws exist there is no way for police officers to catch every driver who violates them. Younger drivers are more likely to violate these laws or not take them seriously because a lot of teenagers don’t think that it can happen to them, until it is too late. Also, an issue with teens driving is the numerous amounts of accidents due to drinking and driving. Teenagers comprise the bulk of America that binge drinks and with the access to a car many will leave a party and try to drive to another one or home thinking that they are okay to drive. This not only puts the teen in a serious amount of danger, but there are simply too many stories of other people and entire families dying because of a drunk driver when they weren’t drinking themselves. Dealing with this issue, there will be two opposing sides of parents. One side will say that the driving age needs to be raised for their protection, their kid’s protection, and protection for the other kids on the road.  On the other side, many parents will argue that the driving age shouldn’t be raised because of the convenience of having a child that can drive. But, they have to take into consideration what is important here, having to leave work early or their child’s life? 

1. Is college education worth the cost or is real world experience more beneficial?

2. Should the legal driving age be raised?

3.  Does the welfare system work or create dependency?

Thesis and Image

In modern society, many people do not acknowledge the harsh side effects of pollution because they do not see it affect their daily lives.

Three Images

This advertisement is trying to illustrate that the mac book air is as thin as paper. 

This advertisement encourages people to go off the walls a bit and enjoy life because it is too short not to have fun.

This advertisement carries a strong message. The ad discourages people from drinking and driving. This is is shown by the bottle cap from the being being indented just like your car could be become after having a drink. 

Rhetoric

Living in the dorms, I see many different rhetorical ads every day. As I walk out of my room down the hall to get to a friends room or the elevator, there are many ads posted on the walls about different organizations to join or how to get involved. At the beginning of the year, our RA had a poster in the elevator lobby about how to make the most out of our time here at Clemson. The poster included many popular organizations here on campus such as FCA. The poster encouraged and influenced us to get out and experience different things while we are here and get out and meet new people. Another example of rhetorical impact that I experience everyday deals with TV commercials. A product such as proactiv skin wash seems to have a commercial on every TV channel and they always seem to be playing. The product tries to persuade you to believe that it is the best skin wash out there and that if you use it you will get rid of your acne.  The proactiv product compares itself to other acne washes and belittles other products stating that is the best you can get for a low price and without a prescription. Another common TV ad I see everyday deals with weight loss pills. American society is vastly consumed in the idea that to be beautiful one must be skinny; therefore, many people turn to weight loss supplements to help them get off a few extra pounds. A common weight loss pill that I hear on TV is hydroxycut. In this commercial, they use very attractive slender men and women to try and persuade the audience that if they use this product they will be able to look like the people on the commercial. These ads make people believe that how they look is not sufficient until they look like the more slender people; therefore, many people are convinced to  spend money on products that may not actually have any positive influences on their body. Everyday people all around the world are influenced by rhetoric. Many companies gain their immense success by rhetorical ads and persuasion.
