Should we move toward becoming “post-human”?

Description

Rhetorical Strategies: You will be using outside sources to defend your argument, but you will also have to use certain types of rhetoric in your paper. You should not assume that your outside sources will be enough to prove your argument. You need to build rhetorical strategies around your sources. Listed below are some of the rhetorical issues that you need to address in your essay. Evidence: You need to defend your argument with convincing evidence, which will come from your outside sources. Keep in mind the various types of evidence: Expert Testimony Eyewitness Testimony Numerical Data (statistics, polls, etc.) Research Data (for example, conclusions made from scientific and academic studies) Rhetorical Style: Appeal: you need to figure out what sort of appeal to use in your paper and how you will build this appeal off of the evidence you present. Will you be incorporating a logical or ethical appeal around your sources, or will you use both? How can you form a strong appeal along with your evidence? I will discourage you from using emotional appeal since it is very hard to pull off in a research paper. Please note: you should focus on logical and ethical appeal only. Please be aware that you cannot assume that your evidence will speak for you. You must build a strong appeal (logical, ethical or emotional) off of the evidence that you present, and don’t forget connotative and denotative language as well as tone. This argument should be clearly stated in your thesis statement. The body of your essay should be devoted to bolstering and defending your thesis statement, and the outside sources that you will be using should be strong evidence that supports and defends your argument or thesis statement.
