What kind of Reasoning is used/presented by your topic?Does your topic rely on the use of any Rhetoric? And if so, how does this affect/alter its Argument about its Claim?

Your Final Paper will be exploring, critically analyzing, and conveying a topic of your
choosing. It could be a song, a clip/scene from a film, a painting, an advertisement , a
children’s book, a story, a passage from a book, gay conversion therapy, any movement , the millennial generation, a superhero, this class, etc. Whatever you choose, bear in mind that it can’t be so complex that you aren’t able to encapsulate it into 3-5 page analysis and presentation.
Basically, don’t choose something so complex , that it would take more than 3-5 pages to fully discuss and present. SRSLY THO. THIS IS NOT A TERM PAPER, OR DEGREE PAPER.
Using and applying what you’ve learned throughout the semester, demonstrate the goal presented in the first chapter of the book: “Critical making wise decisions and coming to CORRECT CONCLUSIONS.”
Your overall goal is to demonstrate that you’ve reached THE CORRECT CONCLUSION about your topic, by providing a COMPLETE analysis which conveys the following:
– Is your topic making a Claim(s) of any kind, and if so, what is it/are they?
– What kind of Reasoning is used/presented by your topic?
– Does your topic rely on the use of any Rhetoric? And if so, how does this affect/alter its Argument about its Claim?
– Is Persuasion the goal/intention of your topic? If so, for what?
– Is anything left Ambiguous or Vague?
– What is the Credibility to the Claim(s) made by your topic? What is the Credibility of any Source
within your topic?
– Are there any Fallacies contained within your topic? If so, what are they?
Do they completely undermine the Claim(s) your topic makes?
– Does your topic assert any Value Judgments? What about and what are they?
– If your topic DOES make any Value Judgments, What Theory/Perspectives are they operating out of? Moral? Aesthetic? Why is it important for your topic to make these? What do they add to your topic?
