Follis.Jordyn. TedTalk

In my Ted Talk I want to have my Thesis be along the lines of how cancer effects the family dynamic. My goal of my Ted Talk is to inform people with information about cancer that you probably wouldn't know and show how the whole battle for my cousin started and then say how it affects the family.

The start of my Ted Talk would include the history and definition of cancer. I would also include all the different kinds of cancer, how it forms so they understand how it can happen to anybody, all the different things people can do to prevent It or limit themselves from it. I would show some visuals to make it easier to understand. I want to inform listeners about the treatments and give them some research on cancer coming back. I want to make sure people know how serious it can be and how cancer can affect people who didn't even know much information about the topic. I want to start slow and explain the basics about cancer so they know how it affects the people who battle this serious illness.

Next I want to share my family story. Have it be a narrative and take my listener to the moment that my cousin was in when she found out she had cancer. I want to go into more detail about the life of a cancer fighter. How each day for them is a battle. How one day it could be the best day of their lives to just sit around at home watching movies, and then another day they do the same exact thing and it just is a horrible say. Everything affects then differently day by day.  I want to talk about how much of a battle it is to get healthy again it is and how the survivors life changes forever, even though they beat this small battle, the overall battle isn't over.

And in conclusion my ted talk was to inform listeners about cancer and how serious it can impact the family dynamic.

This outline is pretty broad and unorganized, so any comments or suggestions would be great!

                 One of the Ted Talks we watched in class was spoke by a guy named Mike Rowe. Within this speech Rowe used the quote "If I'm wrong about this, what else am i wrong about?" Throughout the quote above, the speaker is using sarcasm to show that he is wrong and he is in disbelief. The way he perceived castrating a lamb along many others, was wrong. Doing it the dirtier and harder way is better in this situation. This quote makes you think deeply about everything you do, even the smallest things. It also makes you ponder about if its the right way to do something in a certain situation, and how it affects all living things and the environment. This quote makes me connect with another Ted Talk we watched in class. The author gives an example how in Great Britain, 97% of the people have a Electric Tea Kettle. She interprets if all the people who have electric tea kettles wouldnt use them for one day, all that electricity would light up a town for an hour. Little things as not using a electric tea kettle can save that much electric and do so much for another town. What other little things can we do differently that makes a huge impact? 

The Wife-Beater D.E.J.

As I was reading The Wife-Beater by Gayle Rosenwald Smith, the author really caught my attention with the unrealistic quote "Some articles quote women who felt the shirts looked great, especially on guys with great bodies. One woman stated that it even made guys look "manly." So manly equals violent?"(529). Throughout the quote above, Smith over emphasizes that manly equals violent with one women's opinion. Smith states just her opinion that has no actual proof behind it, no back up evidence, just what she believes is to be true. She dives in saying that women think a wife-beater is manly using only her opinion. What Smith was saying would have been more reasonably true if she would have used all other women's opinions instead of just one women's thoughts. By Smith doing this, it would have been more factual for the readers to believe. Smith influence the readers opinion by jumping to her conclusion and saying that, it makes the readers double think if everything else she has said is the truth or just her opinion. Smith is also trying to fluctuate the readers opinion so that they agree with her by incorrectly doing it. She should be using facts to argue it, and not using just her opinion. Smith also uses fallacies when trying to argue her point. This quote is an example of one, it is deceptive, misleading, and/or a false notion. Smith uses the opinion of what one women states, by her doing that is it suppose to be in say for all women? This quote is a type of fallacy called Personal Attack, or Argument Ad Hominem. This fallacy affects the validity of the argument by attacking the motives or character. By doing this it causes the readers attention to divert from the facts of an argument. Rather then focusing on the negative significance of the "Wife-Beater", the author slides the readers attention to her opinion.

Here are some ideas I have for my Ted talk:

1. Drug test welfare participates
     -parents waste up welfare money instead of it going to the needs of their kids
     -what happens to the kids if parents don't past the drug test?

2. Welfare in general
     -what is welfare? Including definition and history about it
     -why do we need it? Families at extremely low incomes need a helping hand with the needs of the family.

3. Paying students for good grades
     -show research and see if it works
     - it would show how parenting affects students grades

My 6 year old cousin was diagnosed May 2013 with leukemia, so doing something about cancer would be meaningful to me, depending on how to do it 

4. How cancer effects you and your family
     -life of a cancer fighter
     -you have no idea you have it, of found quick, how curable it is
     -how much of a battle it is
     -how it changes your life forever

5. Cancer
     -what is it including definition and history on it
     -all the different kinds
     - how it forms
     - how to prevent it
     -treatments
     -chances of getting it
     -chances of
     - does it come back
 
Those are my top 5 topics for my Ted Talk speech, if you would comment and let me know what you think about the topics and which one I should do? And any other directions I could go with a topic that would be great! Thanks!
   
     

There is a fallacy that is being used in the this quote "It is also true, however, that the children of abusers often learn the behavior from their elders." This fallacy is know as Red Herring. The author is shifting the readers attention from the negative connotation of the "Wife-Beater" to how children learn their actions from their parents. The main point was to show how atrocious the term "Wife-Beater" is, not to talk about how the way kids get parented can be how they turn out to be.  

One fallacy in the essay "The Wife-Beater" is "Some articles quote women who felt the shirts looked great, especially on guys with great bodies. One woman stated that it even made guys look "manly." So manly equals violent?" This fallacy is the type called Personal Attack, or Argument Ad Hominem. This fallacy affects the validity of the argument by attacking the motives or character, this causes the readers attention to divert from the facts of an argument. Rather then focusing on the negative significance of the "Wife-Beater", the author slides the readers attention to her opinion.

The quote "Wearers under 25 do not seem to be disturbed by the name  " exhibits another category of fallacy. This type of fallacy is Hasty or Sweeping Generalization. The authors statement is biased and doesn't have evidence to back it up. The author generalizes that the younger generation does not see the negative outlook it causes because of it's title, "Wife-Beater". This generalization is invalid because the author didn't prove it accurately.
