“Annie Oakley's life spanned years of tremendous change for American women. By the time of her death in 1926, Americans were celebrating the liberated, urbanfocused, modern times of the Jazz Age. Women had won the right to vote, wore less restrictive clothes, and followed a changing ideal that was loosening some of the restrictions on women's roles and behavior that had reigned through the nineteenth century.”

Paraphrase

As discussed in the biography on PBS’s American Experience web page, sharpshooter Annie Oakley lived through a period of many liberating changes for women, from the Victorian era through the first quarter of the 20th century. Examples include voting rights for women as well as the freedom to wear comfortable and practical clothing (“Annie Oakley”).

Quarter 2

Elements of Argument

◦ 1. Claim

◦ 2, 3. Evidence/Reasons

◦ 4. Counterclaim

◦ 5. Refutation/Rebuttal

1. Hybrid cars are an effective strategy to fight pollution.

2. Cars generally have a long lifespan, meaning that a decision to switch to a hybrid car will make a long-term impact on pollution levels.

3. Hybrid cars combine a gasoline engine with a battery-powered electric motor. This combination of technologies means that less pollution is produced. According to ineedtoknow.org "the hybrid engine of the Prius, made by Toyota, produces 90 percent fewer harmful emissions than a comparable gasoline engine."

4. Instead of focusing on cars, which still encourages a culture of driving even if it cuts down on pollution, the nation should focus on building and encouraging use of mass transit systems.

5. While mass transit is an environmentally sound idea that should be encouraged, it is not feasible in many rural and suburban areas or for people who must commute to work; thus hybrid cars are a better solution for much of the nation's population.

Source evaluation◦ see slide 51

Propaganda Techniques--information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

◦ Bandwagon--join the crowd and be part of the group; everyone else is buying it!

◦ Glittering Generalities--using words that evoke a positive, emotional response in the audience.

◦ Testimonials--celebrities advertising products

◦ Name Calling--use of names that evoke fear or hatred in the audience; trash-talking

◦ Plain Folks--use of everyday people to advertise a product; appeals to regular people.

◦ Transfer--relating something/someone we like with a product; symbolic.

◦ Card-Stacking--showing only the product’s best features; using half-truths or omitting negative information to make it look better than it really is.

Logical Fallacies-illegitimate arguments or errors in reasoning; no evidence or logic in the claims

-Slippery Slope:If we ban Hummers because they are bad for the environment, eventually the government will ban all cars, so we should not ban Hummers.

-Hasty Generalization:Even though it's only the first day, I can tell this is going to be a boring course.-Genetic Fallacy:The Volkswagen Beetle is an evil car because it was originally designed by Hitler's army.-Circular Argument:George Bush is a good communicator because he speaks effectively.-Ad hominem (to the man):Green Peace's strategies aren't effective because they are all dirty, lazy hippies.

-Red Herring:The level of mercury in seafood may be unsafe, but what will fishers do to support their families? -Straw Man:People who don't support the proposed state minimum wage increase actually hate the poor. -Moral Equivalence:That parking attendant who gave me a ticket is as bad as Hitler.
