The Art Of Argumentation
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The aspect of argument is truly an art form of communication. It can readily be argued that verbal communication brings with it a considerable amount of misunderstanding, whether that has to do with the actual words chosen, the inflection or the hidden meaning behind them. The notion of argumentation is to culminate with an
agreeable resolution; as straightforward as this concept might appear, there exist myriad variables that pertain to such an outcome. Willard, Gilbert and Van Eemeren have struggled long and hard to assert their respective theories as the most applicable; however, one can readily surmise
that there are flaws in even the most comprehensive model. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

The Modern Media: Critique, Comparisons and Conclusions drawn from Works by Michael Parenti, Ben Bagdikian and Bill McKibben
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the effects of modern media as found in the works of Parenti, Bagdikian and McKibben. Living in today’s modern world, individuals are well aware of the amount of information they are receiving from the various media and information sources. While individuals may be aware of the mass influx of information they are receiving in the different media formats of, for instance, television, the movie industry and the newspaper and news magazine industries to name a few, most individuals are not aware of the influence this information has on them, or more so, the sources of the influence. Through the works of Michael Parenti, Ben H. Bagdikian and Bill McKibben, there appears to be a much larger and darker side to the media and information industry. Basically, no level of the media industry is immune to political and corporate influence which regulates the content of entertainment and news and in turn directly or subtly influences all individuals in modern society. As a result, individuals are not only being inundated with political and corporate ideals but they are often unaware of this process. In addition, individuals are loosing contact with social and natural factors which provided the basis for community relations and rational and independent thought in the past.
Bibliography lists 7 sources.
