Carroll describes several ways we might already be using rhetoric in formal and informal ways throughout our lives.
- How do you use rhetoric in your daily life? What messages do you try to communicate? To what audiences?
Carroll starts off by showing us how we are involved in rhetoric everyday. When we enter class, examining our professors, friends, classmates- we are involved in analysis. Constantly analyzing your environment everyday creates an idea in our brains on the personality of the looked at person. We analyze so often that we don’t even realize how quickly we make assumptions, it’s almost second nature. Taking the train or sitting in the office, we are involved in rhetoric almost ALL day.
We use rhetoric to communicate to others and to relate with others. By creating this analysis of what type of person they might be, gives us the chance to interact. We can choose to use rhetoric to communicate with anyone we want. Especially in today’s world where millions of people can interact with the same images, writings, news, and advertisement. Rhetoric creates a constant influence in our thoughts and opinions.
