Issue Paper strengths and weaknesses

I have found a good amount of information and based on what i have found, i think i can come up with a strong argument for my topic. Since my topic is based on the procedure of things, it will be difficult to go over all the other aspects of fact, definition, and quality. I'm really good at presenting facts but analyzing and creating my own thing and condensing all the info into an eight paragraph essay will be challenging.

Group 3: Devices of 9-b "A Junk Science Congregation"

David J. Hanson, a sociology teacher in New York
Ethos: He has researched the subject of alcohol and drinking for over 30 years, beginning with his PhD dissertation investigation, and has written widely on the subject.
Metaphor and Hasty Generalization: "the faithful" based arguments on polls where people think ads increase youth drinking. Compares it to other polls where people "also find that many people think that extraterrestrial aliens have landed on earth, that ghosts can communicate with us, and that some races are systematically inferior to others." This expresses the logical fallacy of Hasty Generalization.
Rhetorical analysis: Hanson analyzes all the claims and beliefs of the congregational group. Using this, he points out multiple logical fallacies to point out the error of their beliefs.

Rhetorical techniques and logical fallacies

5-b

Rhythm, using a catchy song
Tone, everybody loves Ike(Positive feeling)
Personification, even the elephant prefers Ike
Repetition, "I like Ike"

catchy tune, "Yes we can"

False dilemma, 1964 Johnson "we must love each other or we will die"
Threats, using fear of nuclear war

Hyperbole, oversimplification on the word "drugs"
imagery, kid smoking

Rhetorical Analysis

the writer provides good points to how the article proves their point. He includes the common rhetorical devices used and shows how they are intended to work. But I found no sight of argumentation against the article. The writer seemed only point to what was done right. No confrontation makes the article seem surreal and the writers analysis seem biased.
