Week 12-Posting 12

I believe rhetoric is the use of persuasion.  I think the way we act plays a great role in the usage of rhetoric and also the way we speak.  When we use rhetoric in speaking, we are getting our point across and using a great form of persuasion.  I hear the word rhetoric in American politics quite often.  On stations such as CNN and FOX News, they are constantly using rhetoric to persuade the people whether the president is doing his job well or if he's not.  It can be used in both a negative and positive context. It can be used negatively to bring attention to people for them to think it's negative and same with the positive context.  I can use rhetoric to persuade people to use the fitness room and give points about why it is a great place to meet people.
