Argumentative Essay On Daniel Sloss

According to the two videos regarding Daniel Sloss per Topic 2, Daniel spoke and informed to the audience about a variety of controversial topics. In the first video, he opens up by making fun of himself about how young he is. After that, he moves on to another topic about him moving out from his mom and dad (he mentions that he purposely calls his dad a “step-dad.”) After some more topics, he then tells a joke about abortion and how his family calls his aunt “Aunty Abortion,” as she had five abortions. Daniel also mentions about how his ex-girlfriend is unlikely to be the “most beautiful girl in the world” since statistically, there are about 3.5 billion girls/women on Earth. The probability of his ex-girlfriend being the one most beautiful girl in the world is 1 out of 3.5 billion, which is practically zero. In the second video, he starts by telling a joke relating to spiders. Daniel then moves on to the controversial topic in regards to the LGBTQ community, particularly about two homosexual penguins. He informs the audience that once a penguin chooses a mate, they mate for life. He also explains about how the penguins could not lay an egg and that the two penguins found and cared for a rock. The zookeeper then gave an extra egg to the two penguins and that even though the baby was being cared by two male penguins, the baby was not different to any

other penguins in the zoo.

Daniel delivers his messages such that as Daniel talks about the controversial and sensitive topics, he also incorporates an abundance of jokes to alleviate the possible tension that may transpire once the topics are mentioned.

These topics may cause some angst mainly to people who are activists on the topic of abortion, females, and people who are against homosexual people or even the LGBTQ community. This is because a moderate amount of people may feel offended or that some people may not agree to his viewings i.e. the two homosexual penguins and how they are just as capable to raise babies just like any other

couple.

Aforementioned, Daniel also incorporated a plethora of jokes to lighten the mood between him and the audience. Daniel mainly told a joke before and after the controversial topic. For example, in regards to the “Aunty Abortion” topic, he told a joke before regarding his family and his parents experiencing diminishing returns on having kids (blessed for the first child, gifted for the second child, had the third child, and was diagnosed for the fourth child). He also snuck in a joke after such that when he mentioned that he was single and that some people hollered, he said “don’t lie to me.” As for the two homosexual penguins, he also told a joke when he was explaining about how the two penguins attempted to use a rock as an egg. His joke was that it was cute for two penguins trying to use a rock as an egg; however, a person trying to use a boulder in the baby carriage would be weird. All comedians have unique styles of delivering their messages and jokes to the audience. Daniel’s style would be telling many jokes while also being able to incorporate controversial topics to the audience. In this way, Daniel would be able to state controversial topics while having a joyful mood or atmosphere towards the audience.

Of course, during Daniel’s skit, he would not be able to communicate with the audience as his skit is considered to be a one-way system. Daniel is able to provide information, including potential controversial topics, to the audience, and the audience, while receiving the information, is unlikely to provide any feedback. However, the audience would be able to receive and analyze the information that was provided via Daniel’s skit. Some people who may have opposing views may take Daniel’s information into consideration and may even change their opposing views. For example, after listening to the story about the two homosexual penguins and how two penguins of the same gender are capable of raising a baby penguin, a person that is against homosexual people may take Daniel’s story into consideration and accept the fact that if two male penguins are capable of raising a baby penguin, then perhaps two male humans are also capable of raising a baby child.
