Kairos

Kairos is a Greek team meaning "right time" "season or "opportunity" (Ramage 116) There are no set guidelines or metering for delivering of the kairos. People who possess a judgment which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise and rarely miss the expedient course of action. The kairos is the timing and deliverance when an opening appears which the point must be delivered to drive the subject home (Ramage 116).

            One of the most notorious speeches in recent history was President Bush's speech to the nation shortly after the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. American were angry that we were attacked in suck a cowardly manner. If President Bush would have waited until we track down all that were involve or until he was sure of how many Nations were involved he would have lost the overwhelming support that he received when he declared war on terror. Because anger and hate will fade over time, the people start to feel sympathy or try to understand what kind of message They or (Bin Laden) were trying to send. Maybe the civilians have begun to believe it may be wrong to hunt and kill one individual without due process.

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Resemblance Arguments are arguments that take a stance or give better merits to a point by making comparisons to other points. It is suppose to bring to light that your argument is just as important as the comparison argument. This does come at a risk resemblance arguments sometimes the difference  in the points are so obscure the argument may get lost when scrutinized. Similar to all argument types, resemblance arguments can be analyzed using the Toulmin terms (Ramage 265).

                Analogy is another imaginative form of argument. It can bring vivid images into the reader's or listener mind. This is especially effective for common known images, for example: "my father rides me like a Marine Core drill instructor" or " My mother drives like Dale Earnhardt Sr." Both of these example leave very distinctive images in your mind and get a real feel for what the writer or speaker is trying to convey (Ramage 267).

Responce to Myron

I did not find unit 15 hard to understand. However, I did notice that it required more extensive research to properly develop a concise, direct, compelling argument. While the text does not support a clear-cut definition of the styles it does give excellent examples of each. While I agree we should move on because I am really ready to finished this class, I am here to learn and to just "move on' would not only be an injustice to ourselves, it would be a discredit to our degree's.

I must be the only one to have understood chapter 15 as I see from the posts. Or I think I understood it and really do not.

Unit 3 Reading

There are two types of proposal arguments, practical proposals and policy proposals.  The main difference between the two types is the scope of the proposal.  Practical proposals calls for  action to solve local or immediate problems (Ramage 311). Policy proposals are broad and would include a resolve for major social, economic, or political problems affecting the common good (Ramage 311).

            Both argument need to have a base like we learned in the previous assignment. The enthymeme, grounds, warrant and backing (Ramage 313). The other way of developing your argument 1. Convince your group that a problem exists, 2. Show specifics, 3. Justification (Ramage 315).

                    One of the keys to follow after your base is developed. you must identifying what is at stake then find out who the targeted audience are, put yourself in their shoes (their stance), objection they might have, will they be uncomfortable? (Ramage 327).”
