For my rhetorical analysis paper, I plan on pursuing economic inequality’s impact on the economy. Originally, I planned on pursuing the topic of Ray Rice’s ban from the NFL, and if the ban was fair. However, I had a difficult time finding opposing argumentative papers on the topic. Anyways, I chose this new topic because it is a prevalent issue in the United States. In one of the articles, the writer is very opinionated about his belief on income inequality having no effect on the economy. I originally had a hard time finding an article that believed the growing gap in economic inequality was good for the economy. However, after looking for an article, I finally came across one. My two articles have a great contrast between the two and the articles, I believe, allow me to develop a better essay because of the huge contrast between the two. I’m motivated to learn more about this topic because I feel like I can make a very compelling essay. I’m interested in the different viewpoints that both articles offer. I also don’t know much about the topics so I’m anxious to learn more about them. I would’ve preferred to do my original topic on Ray Rice because I am very intrigued in the topic and I know a lot about it. However, this new topic allows me to expand my knowledge on something I’m not quite familiar with and I’m intrigued by the challenge it presents. This paper forces us to analyze persuasive and argumentative purposes of two texts and I believe my sources offer such different beliefs that I’m intrigued to see how my paper unfolds.
