The Art of Rhetoric (E-Porfolio)

Rhetoric is  hide & seek.

     We appeal our personal interests and opinions on public issues to the people through a process of implementation and the people try to figure out what was said through rhetorical analysis. We live in a diversified culture in which people are in a wide range of personal interests. By delivering our voice through well-executed rhetorical practice, our voice may gain more audience than we could have without rhetorical practice. By hiding (implementation) our interest in the voice of rhetoric, we gain not only general audiences but attract people who understand rhetoric, try to seek our point and share their point of views.

Rhetoric is an inheritance.

    We live in a society where a technological advance seems to fly at a speed of light. A smartphone that I bought last year is already obsolete. Scientific theories and information can be challenged in any moment and may be changed. Living in a society in which a certainty of uncertainty dominates the atmosphere, we know there is one thing that does not change: Rhetoric. Since Mesopotamia civilization was established, people has practiced rhetoric, defined it, and  pass it down to other generations. Our ancestors practiced rhetoric, we practice, and we are supposed to pass down the art of rhetoric to our next generation.

Rhetoric is our life.

    Rhetoric is not just a subject that we learn in school but it is like H20 that we breathe in our everyday life. Rhetorical practice is not an action that we only do in public speakings or persuasive essay but we do when we communicate with our family, friends, and people. The potential range of rhetoric is broad enough to include not only communication but  our thinking and our being as well. This is why it is so important to learn Rhetoric and practice sincerely to integrate our life to better better and mature than it used to be. The sincere practice of rhetoric will enrich the quality of our life and individual in the society where everything tend to be disposable and easily forgotten.
