Cultural Rhetoric

I was thinking about which commercial I should do for the commercial blog post, and my brain enlightened about Samsung Note 7 which currently has a lot of issues all around the world. The commercial started out saying "We went on a mission to create not just a big phone, but a phone helps you do big things." Next, it described how it is curved both sides, and how that is effective when people hold the phone, it is comfortable and good looking on their hand. The announcer said that the phone has 5.7” dual curved screen, and various color. The announcer introduces ‘S pen’ that is more sensitive and useful.

Last Sunday, I decided to go to church with Young. I had a thought if i do not go this week, I am a such a horrible person who claims to be Catholic/Christian.

It says, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” He read verse 31, and he started to preach how people are indifferent about what they have for their present. Occasionally, people sometimes tends to not appreciate to God about their situation. For instance, they wanted pasta for dinner but it was just a bread. There are so many children who can not eat in many countries. Vast amount of people tend to take what they have now for granted, however, they don’t deserve it sometimes because of sins. Theref...
