RA:

For this blog I am going to practice one of my ideas for Paper C. I am sort of unsure what to write about because the topic of media is extremely broad. I really want to write something concerning violence in the media because this is something I really am concerned about. However, I worry that this is something that will be hard to argue because it is a point that most may not agree with.

WATCO: violent media on children's behavior?
Enthymeme: Violent media causes children to react violently because the violence encourages and glamorizes violence.
IA:Anything that is violent also encourages and glamorizes violence.
Ethos: This argument can appeal to authority if I use good data and valid sources.
Pathos: I want to appeal somewhat to emotion but I need to be careful not to over do it.
Logos: This should be easy to do.
I will have to do a lot to prove my point because a lot of people believe that violent media is not harmful at all. Violent media is very detrimental and we study the effects in my sociology clases.
