Rhetoric

One of the things we have been covering for a good part of the semester is Rhetoric. We have been discussing what rhetoric is and how it is used. One thing we have also been looking at is the movie thank you for smoking which kind of deals with rhetoric. Another thing we covered in class is what rhetoric is and we discussed how it's the artificer of persuasion we also looked at some categories of rhetoric. We also discussed the two kinds of persuasion which are Knowledge vs Belief, we said Knowledge is true and belief without knowledge is true and false. In the movie thank you for smoking it deals with both knowledge and belief because the people have knowledge of cigarettes and nick gives them the belief the cigarettes are not dangerous and are good for you which then makes his a artificer of persuasion because he his persuading people to smoke by telling them cigarettes are nit bad for you.
