A central argument is how the banking industry has been making money since the crisis while the rest of the world is failing financially. To illustrate this, the movie shows graphs of how much banker’s payment have gone up. When the viewer sees these graphs, there is always a huge gap in between. The graphs shows extreme cases and it speaks to their logical sense that this is not fair.

The logos is a huge factor for the success of the movie. The movie leaves the viewer without a doubt in their mind that the Wall Street CEO’s and policymakers of the US government are the ones responsible for the financial situation. Even just seeing the research without understanding it, provides the viewer a sense that the filmmakers know what they are talking about and that they have proof for what they are saying. The viewer is shown facts, figures and newspaper close-ups that seem unarguable, and of course, chances that the average viewer bothers to check is low.

    Pathos is a powerful tool used to invoke any emotions from joy, anger, jealousy to love that helps the writer connect with the reader. The slogans that I choose were the “Reach out and touch someone” ad for AT&T and the “Think different” ad for Apple. The “Reach out and touch someone” ad for AT&T was the perfect slogan because just about everyone had access to a phone and had someone they wanted to talk to no matter the distance. In the ad a young man moves away from home and calls his mom trying to hide the fact that he was home sick. AT&T successfully connects with anyone who has ever moved, had someone move away or just wanted to be in contact with a loved one.…

BKMartin Luther King Jr. was a huge influence in the Civil Rights Movement, which was created in an attempt to end inequality and segregation once and for all.

    For over a hundred years, the Black National Anthem has held great power for those that listen to it. It is not just a poem or a song, but it has been a staple and a way of life for many Black Americans. The “Lift Every Voice and Sing” originated back in 1900, written by two brothers, James Weldon Johnson, and John Rosamond Johnson. Having been through a surplus of things in their lifetime, especially living in the south during segregation and other prejudices against black people at the time, they wrote this poem as a reminder to every generation to come together and fight for their rights, all of their rights. James, being the lyricist for this song, wrote the words from the heart.…

    “I can call myself a purple dinosaur, but it doesn’t mean that I am one” is a hypothetical quote that usually backs up something quite absurd. Such as, “Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is right even if you are the only one doing it.” What makes this absurd is the fact that this quote is implying that there is in fact, such a thing as right or wrong as if it were black and white. There is no such thing, the only fact that could possible back this up is the fact that there are laws to keep humans from doing “wrong” things. Well if they are so “wrong”, then why are there also laws, that justify “wrong” actions?…
