Alternative Medicine; What’s safe? What’s Improving? Over-the-counter and prescription medicines have been used worldwide to treat conditions and diseases, especially within North America. However, researchers recently have discovered that the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) may be a better alternative to treating chronic diseases. “CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are often not integrated with conventional medicine” (Li 2). The artifact titled “Complementary and alternative medicine in pediatric allergic disorders,” is a review on various research studies performed by professional sources to determine if complementary and alternative medicine, specifically traditional Chinese medicine (herbal products and acupuncture), is a better solution to treat pediatric allergic disorders. This review is written in a professional …show more content…
The three rhetorical devices she uses most are ethos, logos, and pathos, which are meant to persuade or convince the audience. The use of ethos convinces the audience of the credibility of the source. The publisher of this review is an experienced medical doctor who also works as a professor at a well-known university in New York City. Given that Professor Li went through 12+ years of post-secondary school, one would consider the information she provides to be very credible and accurate. Li references additional sources in her review that the audience can refer to for further information. She also provides footnotes, which support her credibility. As mentioned earlier, Li uses academic-based vocabulary that attributes to her credibility and qualifications. In addition, Li provides abbreviations to help the audience understand the medical terminology clearly so that they do not have to assume the definition of the term and draw inaccurate
Dr. Atul Gawande, a Harvard Medical School graduate and writer for The New Yorker, phenomenally illustrates the unknown side of healthcare professions in his book, Complications: A Surgeon’s Notes on an Imperfect Science. By exploring the ethical and analytical aspects of medicine while entertaining readers with relatable anecdotes, Gawande impresses on his audience the importance of recognizing the wonders of the healthcare field, as well as the fallibility of those within it.
If you are an experienced advertiser than you would now that the number one way to sell a product requires a well-known famous idol in a commercial. Proactiv is a company that sells medicine that is known to kill and prevent any bacterial breakouts. Additionally, Proactiv's commercials are known for featuring well-known celebrities to act as their spokesperson. One celebrity in particular, that was used in the selling of Proactive products was Adam Levine. Known to be the “sexist” person alive, Adam Levine is well known for his music and television show appearances. Using Adam as a spokesperson opens up opportunities to sell their products to not only his fans, but other individuals around the ages of thirteen to sixteen. While this advertisement would be effective to fans of Adam Levine, the overall information that was stated was weak and lacked any logical statements, besides the fact that “millions of people” use the treatment, that could have been used to prove their accusations true.
The Letter from Birmingham Jail was written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April of 1963. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of several civil rights activists who were arrested in Birmingham Alabama, after protesting against racial injustices in Alabama.

Dr. King writes things in his letter that if any other person even dared to write the people would consider them crazy.
Family Psychoeducation for Schizophrenia has previously been supported in treatment recommendations and guidelines for best practise in hospitals. In their review of 15 new studies in the area, Lisa Dixon M.D (University of Maryland), Curtis Adams M.D (University of Maryland) and Alicia Luckstead M.D (University of Maryland) reinforce support for family psychoeducation for schizophrenia.
A lot of times, people find music a great way to express how they feel. Perhaps they cannot find the words to explain how they feel but a song can put it perfectly. Songs can tell a story, give a message, or simply be a nice beat to dance to. In the song, “Same Drugs” by Chance the Rapper, he tells a story of someone he grew up with who has since changed now that they are adults. Talking about the simplicity of when they were kids and now they are adults. Comparing their relationship to the story of Peter Pan, he uses the lines, “When did you change? Wendy, you’ve aged,” to express them growing up, aging, and changing (Chance The Rapper). He compares his old childhood friend to Wendy and compares himself to Peter Pan. Although it is easy to believe this song is about drugs, this song is not about drugs. Not only is this song enjoyable to listen to, but listening to the story allows people to relate. Using Peter Pan to compare to
Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but
Analyzing the codes used in the University of Arizonas Natural Science On-line Class Attendance Policy, a genre emerges disparaging the traditional view that knowledge is sharpened through the exchange of ideas. To make the class more appealing to non-traditional students the University has designed an attendance policy which does not eliminate traditional forms of interaction, but instead devalues them subversively thus discounting their necessity. Connotations within the policy divert the unsuspecting student into a particular learning mode. This mode, unappreciative of the insights a typical class would normally culture, does not encourage the student to be "present" mentally, an imperative aspect of becoming educated in a cyber class. Therefore by establishing the existence of these de-prioritizing codes, and the extent to which they must inevitably shape the interpretation of the text, we can clarify the level of interaction the policy genuinely intends. We see then the probability of students relating to the individualistic tone of the policy and discounting the requirements to attend to and with others.
In a quote by John Mill, “Does fining a criminal show want of respect for property, or imprisoning him, for personal freedom? Just as unreasonable is it to think that to take the life of a man who has taken that of another is to show want of regard for human life. We show, on the contrary, most emphatically our regard for it, by the adoption of a rule that he who violates that right in another forfeits it for himself, and that while no other crime that he can commit deprives him of his right to live, this shall.” Everyone’s life is precious, but at what price? Is it okay to let a murderer to do as they please? Reader, please take a moment and reflect on this issue. The issue will always be a conflict of beliefs and moral standards. The topic
In a persuasive essay, rhetorical appeals are a very important tool to influence the audience toward the author’s perspective. The three rhetorical appeals, which were first developed by Aristotle, are pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos appeals to the emotions of the audience, logos appeals to the facts or evidence and ethos exhibits the credibility of the writer.
There are two needs that coincide between patient and the researching doctors; one) being thorough when doing research and presenting information, two) the human relations aspect of their careers and lives. All three of them strive to have the most information possible shown as Bearing listens and dissects the terminology in an attempt to understand Kelekian and Posner describe the stage four ovarian cancer and the procedures that will follow her treatment. She also references books that she has read for information while listening to them. Kelekian and Posner examine her multiple times as her disease progresses to collect their data and Kelekian uses Bearing while teaching stu...
The movie trailer “Rio 2”, shows a great deal of pathos, ethos, and logos. These rhetorical appeals are hidden throughout the movie trailer; however, they can be recognized if paying attention to the details and montage of the video. I am attracted to this type of movies due to the positive life messages and the innocent, but funny personifications from the characters; therefore, the following rhetorical analysis will give a brief explanation of the scenes, point out the characteristics of persuasive appeals and how people can be easily persuaded by using this technique, and my own interpretation of the message presented in the trailer.
"most students are already rhetorically savvy but unaware of their critical processes..." Author Jane Fife puts the three rhetorical analysis pieces to work, ethos pathos and logos, in an attempt to teach rhetorical analysis in a classroom. Fife uses a collaboration of all three types of rhetorical analysis. While the author does make good use of the first two pieces of rhetorical analysis, Pathos, and Logos, Fife strays away from the use of Ethos in her article. Fife applies the rhetorical appeals of Pathos and Logos to teach rhetoric to her class and the reader. However, her use of examples in a classroom backed up with little evidence to prove her authority surrounding the subject causes her readers to doubt her claim that Facebook and
Artificial intelligence should not be continued. Artificial intelligence has many benefits to your society, humans and AI will eventually begin to replace people’s jobs, they have no emotions, and they will outsmart humans so we will not be able to control them.
Jonathan Kozol revealed the early period’s situation of education in American schools in his article Savage Inequalities. It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.
Of all the controversies over medicine, alternative medicine is one of the biggest. Some say alternative medicine is not medicine at all because it hasn’t been scientifically proven or it is not part of the conventional teachings. Why are so many people seeking alternative medicines? Alternative treatments are not being recognized or considered enough for children with serious medical conditions. There are many different types of alternative medicine. Acupuncture, herbal supplements, medical marijuana, manipulative therapy, reflexology, and yoga are a few different types of alternative medicines. There are several reasons why the conventional medical community is often dismissive of alternatives. There has been little scientific research into such medicine, so there is very little evidence to support the claims of their supporters.
