I decided to look for a talk about technology since it is so important in our society. And I found a ted talk from Keren Elazari, a cyber security expert, on hackers. Keren was speaking about how hackers are not always bad, and are actually very helpful to everyone. She used rhetoric in her persuasion by using examples about how they are helpful through things we all use. She used the example of privacy on facebook, and a wireless router. Both things most people use she showed how they found holes in the system and were able to alter people information, and told the companies ways to fix them. She used these small examples to build up into a bigger example of how they expose corrupt parts in government and advocate for our rights. Showing ways they are helpful, but also spoke about how some of those hackers use their skills for their benefit. In ways like taking money or stealing identities which is an uprising threat. The way Keren used persuasion was very effective she was able to show examples that most people can connect with. Which makes it easier for the listeners to pay attention, because it is relevant to them. I’m personally agree with Keren, because I believe Hackers are able to use their skills in many different ways, and using it for Good makes it worth while.

You did a good job with identifying the purpose of the smaller examples used to lead up to the big picture.
ReplyDeleteI think it is helpful when speakers list small, yet strong, points for their argument, that eventually build up to their main, strongest point.
