Assignment 4 While watching the video, there are many different discrepancies that were viewed this time, that were not viewed the first. The more it was observed, the more I noticed and understood the conflicts and incongruities, which were hidden and unnoticeable to me this first time. I viewed it. As I paid special attention to the topic of interest and the shifts of conversation, I noticed that Gloria, the client, had initiated them. In the beginning on the counseling session, the topic of interest, as stated by Gloria was, “that she was worried about having men in the house and how it’ll affect her child” ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). Gloria then stated, “she wants her daughter to accept her”. After …show more content…
that, she wants to accept herself for having interpersonal relationships. She stayed on topic for most of the conversation, except when she talked about a woman at work and she didn’t want this woman to know about her more devilish side. Then, she was worried about working and making sure she is a good mother because of the time she loses with her child while working. To me, Gloria portrayed to stay on the topic of acceptance towards herself and others accepting her for her action with men” ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). The listener seems to want to hear that Gloria can accept herself for her actions and he also wants to help her come up with an answer of how she can accept herself within the framework of her action. According to Ivey et al. (2013), the counselor is trying to help the client build onto what she has said (p. 68). The keywords initiated in the communication by Gloria were acceptance of herself, wants to feel comfortable, to approve of herself, has guilt because of her desires and her actions on her impulses ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). The keywords in the communication by the doctor are concern, approval of yourself, I hear you saying, and yes or mmmhhm. Gloria speaks both abstractly and concretely in the conversation.
She gives concrete examples of how she hides things and has things ready when a man comes over, in case she gets caught by her daughter. She seems to be self-oriented unto how she reflects and analyzes her feelings and behaviors. Gloria understands how she feels like and knows what she wants to do but can’t accept herself. This isn’t her first counseling session. She is also speaking abstractly because she blames her daughter for her feelings of unacceptance but these feelings are hers to accept. She claims, “if her daughter could accept her she could accept herself” ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). She needs to learn to accept herself for her own actions ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). Both the client and the doctor are approaching this issue in a similar fashion ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", …show more content…
2013). After reviewing the video many times, I have noticed many incongruous behaviors. Firstly, in the begging of the video, Gloria implied,” to stop shaking” but she is smiling ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). Gloria’s legs are crossed in a fashion that are facing away from the doctor, which shows a sign that she may not want to have the conversation or run. Gloria spoke of having a conversation with her daughter about sex and said, “it went fine” as she shook her head in a back and forth fashion, as to imply no ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). At one moment in the video, she is picking at her clothes when the doctor can’t give her an answer ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). The only discrepancies I see between the two is when the doctor claimed, “what she wants is to seem perfect, it’s a matter of great importance to be a good mother and you want to seem to be a good mother even if your actual feelings differ from that” ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). Gloria implies, “Gee, I don’t feel like I’m saying that” ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session", 2013). Issues of internal conflict that may be important is that she feels guilt towards daughter about lying to her and would also like a direct answer from the doctor.
She also wants daughter not to distrust because of this lie. Gloria seems to have a problem externally with her interpersonal relationships because of how she feels after she gives into her impulses. She has a lot of guilt and wants to accept her action but because of her upbringing and morals cannot seem to accept them. So, she blames her daughter for these feelings but she was smiling while saying this ("Carl Rogers and Gloria - Counselling (1965) Full Session",

“People who had incurred the displeasure of the party simply disappeared and were never heard of again.
Throughout the course of this novel, Ishmael Beah keeps the readers on the edge of their seat by incorporating interchanging tones. At the beginning of the novel, the tone can be depicted as naïve, for Beah was unaware to what was actually occurring with the rebels. Eventually, the tone shifts to being very cynical and dark when he depicts the fighting he has endured both physically and mentally. However, the most game changing tone is towards the end of the novel in chapters nineteen and twenty. His tone can be understood as independent or prevailing. It can be portrayed as independent because Beah learns how to survive on his own and to take care of himself. At the same time, it is perceived as prevailing and uplifting because Beah was able to demonstrate that there is hope. Later in the novel, Beah travels to
During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the fight for equal and just treatment for both women and children was one of the most historically prominent movements in America. Courageous women everywhere fought, protested and petitioned with the hope that they would achieve equal rights and better treatment for all, especially children. One of these women is known as Florence Kelley. On July 22, 1905, Kelley made her mark on the nation when she delivered a speech before the National American Woman Suffrage Association, raising awareness of the cruel truth of the severity behind child labor through the use of repetition, imagery and oxymorons.
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.
In this vignette, the client and social worker begin a new session at the point where the last left off. Kirsten, a college student, has come to this private practice setting to discuss her experiences, fears, and difficulties with coming out, particularly after her previous coming out experiences. In the previous sessions, the worker and Kirsten have explored many themes revolving around coming out, her experience coming out to her neighbor, and Kirsten’s anxieties about talking with her sister. The role of the social worker in this vignette is to discuss possible options with Kirsten as she moves toward talking with her sister, engaging in role play Kirsten has requested, and exploring Kirsten’s feelings about the upcoming meeting with her
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
In Helen’s therapy session, she describe being discontent with her life. She specifically identifies her marriage as an area where she is not happy. Furthermore, Helen’s “top dog” is telling her that she must always play the role of a good worker and wife, otherwise calamity is bound. Her polarized belief is displayed when she says that “people will not make it if you are not where you said you would be” (MyLab, n.d). Additionally, the defense mechanism Helen is portraying is introjection, which is uncritically accepting beliefs of others, because she avoids taking responsibility for her own self. Lastly, Helen reports that change will be difficult, placing her in the impasses layer of neurosis, characterized by feeling trapped (MyLab,

Shakley is the former chair of the Los Angeles city/county Native American Commission. The author describes the history of using Indian mascots and how it hurt a group of people. He wants readers to know that it is necessary to remove Native American names and mascots from college and professional teams. Jack Shakley uses three strategies to present his argument to show his attitude to remove Indian mascots in teams.
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.
The piece that I will be analyzing is called How It Feels to Be Colored Me. This piece appealed to me because she described her point of view through the use of anecdote. Her perspective of being different caught my attention because most articles about being colored are so clique. This one is out of the ordinary because she thinks of being colored as a good thing. The only thing that could be difficult to analyze about this piece would understand how she feels because back then, black people were treated horribly.
Sue, 36, and Tom, 39, present for an initial consultation along with their two children-- Alice, 15, and Ted, 7. Sue does most of the talking, while Alice sits slumped in her chair with a sullen look on her face. Ted looks anxious and stays close to his mother. They have come because Sue is concerned about her children. Alice’s
Those words to this day still haunt me. In the book Dr.Davis makes the mistake of voicing his opinion to the woman about her situation
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.
Gramma states in response to Sissy worries, “I will not tell anyone. Believe me, I would not betray your confidence in any respect” (Line 149). Gramma even goes as far as promising Sissy that she will not even tell Sissy’s own mother. Here Gramma is doing discursive work in order for Sissy to feel safe and confront her problems head on. Though, prior to this interaction, Gramma threatens to notify Bill, Sissy’s fiance, about her bulimic tendencies. Gramma utters, “I’m gonna do something desperate about it, I‘m gonna talk to Bill. If Bill would know this (...), I really believe that he would break off this engagement with you, he wouldn’t want to marry a girl like that” (Lines 118-120). Here Gramma’s stern identity is apparent. It is interesting to see how Gramma’s two identity, supportive and loving versus stern and condemning, can conflict each other in the same interaction. Gramma leads with first threatening to inform Sissy’s finance Bill of her unhealthy habits, but when that makes Sissy more disagreeable, Gramma results to promising Sissy that she will not tell anyone as long as she does get help. Additionally, at the end of the last sentence, Gramma, utilizes uptalk, a quality of speech where intonation rises at the end of utterances (Tracey & Robles,
The Andersens are completely cognizant of the fact that there is a problem and that it goes beyond Riley’s recent change in behavior. They exhibit a genuine desire to work with the therapist and do whatever it takes to illicit the necessary changes. There are no issues with drugs, alcohol, or abuse and each family member deeply loves and cares form the others. There are however, some issues with Bill and Jill’s worldview on how a family is supposed to work, boundaries, and problems with
