  1. Composition and Rhetoric ILesson 3

  2. “Herbert J. Gans in his article “the war against the poor instead of programs to end poverty” criticizes and exposes us poverty and measures taken in the USA” “But if these improvements are unrealizable it’s because politicians are unconcerned by poverty, that’s why actual programs are useless.” “Politicians have soiled the image of the poor.” “He explains that it’s the society who is responsible of the bad thinking and wrong opinion, that the government should take responsibility of it.” What’s wrong with these sentences?

  3. Fortunate ≠ rich Fortunate = lucky Don’t use expressions like “the author shows us” – it makes it unnecessarily personal. “the poverty” or “poverty”? “the poor” or “poor people” but not “the poors” If I have corrected prepositions, please learn them. There were a lot of mistakes with the passive – revise it if necessary. Some frequentmistakes

  4. The first time you refer to an author, use their full name (e.g. Herbert J. Gans). After that, just use their last name (e.g. according to Gans…) Be careful with your use of pronouns. Even if vs. even though Unless you are American, you cannot use “we” to talk about Americans, or “our society” to talk about American society. Some frequentmistakes

  5. Some good examples “In his article “The War Against the Poor Instead of Programs to End Poverty”, Herbert J. Gans describes the lack of equality in American society. He argues that society has chosen to engage in a war against the poor instead of trying to improve their condition.” “Poor people suffer from prejudices and stigmatization. Their situation does not enable them to find a job easily and they endure complicated family circumstances. That is why they are blamed for social and economic problems.”

  6. Sherry TurkleAlone Together: The Robotic Moment • In paragraphs 2-5, what point is Turkle making with the example of the children in the museum. • Explain the following terms: • Authenticity (paragraph 9) • Anthropomorphism (paragraph 14) • The robotic moment (paragraph 18) • In paragraph 24, what does Turkle mean when she says “the problem is not about robots”? • Do you think younger generations are more receptive to robots? • Do you agree with Turkle’s attitude toward marriage between humans and robots. • How important is the aesthetics of the robot?
