Thinking
and Acting Rhetorically
What does it mean to act and to think in a
rhetorical manner?
To act and to think in a rhetoric manner, is to
know how to use words in a clever way when persuading others in agreeing with what you
say; it is done in a smooth and professional manner.
There are
many steps and genres to accomplishing this process. It all begins with the way
you gather up your ideas and to the way you send the message to your audience.
To think rhetorically we have to have a clear
thought of our position and goals before sending the message to the audience
for it to be effective. We also have to know what the audience values and what
their opinion is on the topic.
Knowing about rhetoric is a skill that can be
very beneficial in any career. It can also be helpful in a job interview since
it tells your boss that you have a strong personality, can be committed to your
words and be trustful. Rhetoric is not only about speaking, it is also about
knowing how to speak and what words to use to send the message exactly how you
want others to receive it.
I agree, I think that rhetoric is also smoothly written and persuasive. I like your definition. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with your definition, especially the part about needing to have a clear thought of your position and goals to be the most effective.
