message to the gathering of people about conspiracy hypotheses. As indicated in The 4 a.m. Mystery on the Ted Talk by Rives, an execution artist and mixed media craftsman, he shows this story has been seen a few times in books, daily papers as well as truths. In the Ted Talk show, the moderator, Rives, demonstrates how the littlest of comparable certainties between just renowned individuals give individuals the conviction that this is more than just fortuitous event. Rives questions the audience asking, “Did you ever notice that four in the morning has become some sort of meme or shorthand? It means something like you are awake at the worst possible hour.
A time for inconveniences, mishaps, yearnings” (Rives Ted Talk). Rives relates 4 a.m. in the morning to several facts that he finds online, which have nothing to do together but he coincidentally finds some facts and shows that they all have something in common. Rives shows the audience that he is presenting to, the top ten results for the Google search of Four in the Morning, he shows and says, “The top 10 results yield you four hits for Faron Young's song, It's Four in the Morning, three hits for Judi Dench's film, Four in the Morning, one hit for Wislawa Szymborska's poem, Four in the Morning. But what, you may ask, do a Polish poet, a British Dame, a country music hall of famer all have in common besides this totally excellent Google ranking” (Rives Ted Talk).

After this random Google Search, Rives starts to talk about each Faron Young, Judi Dench, and Wislawa Szymborska and he relates
parts of each persons’ life to each other to prove a conspiracy. Rives compares Alberto Giacometti’s birth to British Dames’ birthday and then connects a weaponry wound of the music star to the same age of when Alberto had died.

Rives presentation about The 4 a.m. Mystery has taught that not every conspiracy is authentic and may be forged. Conspiracy prompts negative and impactful considerations and conclusions with respect to convictions and a few different parts in life. Taking everything into account, circumstantial occasions happen consistently conspiracy hypotheses are only an approach to interface a few realities together, if they are demonstrated with famous individuals and/or meets expectations.
In Kirby Dick’s influential documentary “The Invisible War,” filmmaker Kirby Dick uses pathos, ethos and logos to gain information and supplementary details to make his point that there is an epidemic of rape in throughout the DOD (Department of Defense) and the fact that military sexual trauma (MST) in the United States military goes unheard, mostly unpunished and needs to be addressed at a higher level.
Conspiracy theories are entertaining for many to speculate and demand a great deal of thought to constitute. A conspiracy theory is defined as the idea that many important political, economic, and social trends are the products of secret plots that are largely unknown to the general public (“The Definition of Conspiracy Theory”). Many conspiracy theories are thought up around children’s shows, which offers a feeling of nostalgia and pleasure. A few children’s show conspiracies that need a deeper light shone on them are from Max & Ruby (2002-2013), Winnie the Pooh (1977), Rugrats (1990-2004), and All Grown Up (2003-2008).
so. Many people believe other theories which is fine but there is no doubt that this is a conspiracy
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 wrote this letter in response to a statement titled A Call for Unity, which was published on Good Friday by eight of his fellow clergymen from Alabama. Dr. King uses his letter to eloquently refute the article. In the letter dr. king uses many vivid logos, ethos, and pathos to get his point across. Dr. King writes things in his letter that if any other person even dared to write the people would consider them crazy.
Propaganda is usually associated with brainwashing and manipulation, however it is justifiable when it is used to promote safety and health. For example, in public service announcements to warn the citizens of hazards and to promote safety to protect the people from the dreadful habits of the modern world. The main purpose of PSA’s are to make people aware and to make them act to reach a goal.
When it comes to conspiracy theories there is a wide variety of them, but few people try to explain their appeal as thoroughly as the author Maggie Koerth-Baker through her article “Why Rational People Buy into Conspiracy Theories.” The author’s paper starts by talking about the incident at the Boston Marathon and how, even though one of the brothers had been arrested, there were still theories being created in order to explain the possible events and motives behind the attack. It is explained that the best way to determine someone’s belief in a theory is if they believe in other theories due to the fact that a conspiracy theory isn’t so much a response to a single event as it is an expression of an overarching worldview (Koerth-Baker 343).
Brian Keeley’s short essay, “Of Conspiracy Theories” discusses conspiracy theories and their value in an epistemological context. Keeley defines a conspiracy theory as “a proposed explanation of some historical event (or events) in terms of the significant causal agency of a relatively small group of persons-the conspirators-acting in secret (Keeley 1999, pg. 116).” Keeley seeks to answer the question of why conspiracy theories are unwarranted. His interest in the warrant of conspiracy theories focuses on ¬the unfalsifiability of conspiracy theories and how conspiracy theories are founded upon an extraordinarily large amount of skepticism. In section III, Keely discusses what a conspiracy theory is, and contends that there is no grounds for distinguishing a warranted conspiracy theory from an unwarranted conspiracy theory (UCT). Keely expands upon section III in section IV, by introducing falsifiability and skepticism and giving a deeper analysis on the difficulties of UCTs. In section V, he discusses the issues raised and the implication of their popularity. A brief conclusion is given is section VI, in which he discusses the morals that should be taken away from the essay.
In researching this and many other conspiracy theories, one can see many uses of sensationalism, mainly by the media. This media- the news (local and national), magazines, tabloids, television shows, movies, and so on- has a huge e...
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
The action of the protagonist in “Ambush” killing the young man was justifiable beyond a reasonable doubt. In war, one is thrown into a life and death situation, in this case either the protagonist or the young man, who was identifiable as “the enemy”, were to die. In war, the goal is to survive and win the war in any way possible, and generally this will require one to kill the enemy. Because of this, the protagonist acted in such a way that, given the critical situation, was completely justifiable. One should not be criticized for killing another in war, especially since one is acting to save their life and their country. Each soldier has the duty to serve their country, and the country expects that when a soldier serves, the soldier will
Though built on a platform of anti government messages that serve to attract a racially and financially privileged class of society, the true cause of Tea Party success comes from the discriminatory rhetoric that they have adopted. The Tea Party adopted a language through which they were able to express racially charged messages of economic responsibility and independence. Tea party leaders make use of coded racism to make misleading but implicit reference to racist themes and images that are designed to achieve a specific agenda. The issues of welfare, immigration and national security broach up fear and anxiety in the tea party audience as a result of this racially charged propaganda. As Ludwig Wittgenstein argued, social context and associations
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.
“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” The film begins with a scene of two men surrounded by fire and dead bodies on a boat in San Pedro, California. The two men talk for a while, then a mystery man shoots a man named Keaton, then sets him on fire. FBI agents appear the next day to investigate the crime scene and interrogate the two survivors of 27 killed men. One survivor is a Hungarian is describing a man named Kieser Söze to a sketch artist. The other survivor is Verbal Kent who is telling the police everything he knows for immunity. When Kent begins his story, it fades into six weeks ago in New York City where the NYPD gathers five different criminals that are suspected
Since the beginning of settled civilizations, people have had more mutual sharings than ever before. By the same token, there have been some conspiracy theories that are usually against the culturally accepted beliefs of religions, science and society. A conspiracy theory can be described so differently. However, as in his text, Marshall Brain explicates, a conspiracy is generally defined as a theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act (Brain). Especially, after the new media has become quite popular, more and more conspiracies are theorized every single day, which aim to catch society’s attention via such media tools as the internet, journals and newspapers. Thus, people who theorize those conspiracies tend to use such objects as spiritual and mysterious ones in order to interest people. To illustrate, many examples can be given. For instance, many people have claimed that they were abducted by aliens, although they could show no evidences. Here, a citation from Blackmore could facilitate to understand the circumstance better. She states that people occasionally claim that they have been abducted from public places by aliens, in this case that may provide them with witnesses and affirmations but no evidence could be shown so far (Blackmore). As it is well known, only a small number of people believe such alien abductions, however, rating of this kind of news is quite high on media, because humankind has been wondering if there are extraterrestrial creatures out of the earth. Another example can be conspiracy theories which are about the origins of religions such as the rejection of Jesus Christ. There are some people who pay attention to...
Time seems to fly by whenever I’m learning about conspiracy theories. Sprawled out across my bed, wrapped in two layers of blankets, my eyes remain glued to my bright phone screen as a menacing voice gives their opinion on what they speculate the symbolism to mean in a children's cartoon show. There are countless summer days I’ve spent in my room watching various Youtube videos or just searching the world wide web on various theories, ranging from the illuminati to the Mandela effect. Conspiracy theories are some of the most fascinating ideas I’ve ever encountered for a number of reasons.
