In the article “Why Hope Is Dangerous When It Comes to Climate Change” by Tommy

In the article “Why Hope Is Dangerous When It Comes to Climate Change” by Tommy Lynch, the author explores the role of hope in the face of the impending climate crisis. Drawing on the arguments presented by David Wallace-Wells and other experts, Lynch analyzes the tensions between hope, pessimism, and the urgent need for action. Your task is to write a rhetorical analysis essay in which you examine Lynch’s purpose for writing this text and the rhetorical strategies he uses to accomplish it, and evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in persuading the audience.
Part 1: The expectation is that you analyze the Lynch’s use of logos, ethos, and pathos (or a combination of two that you find to be dominant in his essay). How does Lynch appeal to reason, credibility, and emotion to support his argument? Identify specific examples of evidence, statistics, and anecdotes used to appeal to the reader’s logic, trust in the author, and emotional response. To explore these elements please examine Lynch’s writing style and tone. Question to promote critical thinking: “How does he use language (diction) and tone to establish his position and connect with the audience?” Please try to discuss the impact of Lynch’s stylistic choices on the overall persuasiveness of the essay.
Part 2: It is also important to pay attention to Lynch’s awareness of his target audience(s). How does Lynch tailor his message to resonate with the intended readership? Consider whether Lynch effectively anticipates and addresses the concerns or perspectives of his audience. Examine how Lynch envisions his essay influencing the reader’s perspective or behavior. Question to promote critical thinking: “Does he seek to inspire action, provoke thought, or foster a particular emotional response? Discuss any strategies used by Lynch to make his purpose clear and compelling to the reader. How does he align his purpose with the urgency of the climate crisis?
Part 3: Lastly, it is important to explore Lynch’s purpose for writing this essay. Investigate his overarching purpose in writing this essay. Question to promote critical thinking: What is Lynch’s primary goal or intention in addressing the relationship between hope and climate change? Analyze whether Lynch aims to inform, persuade, entertain, or provoke a specific response from the audience. How does this purpose shape the rhetorical choices made throughout the essay?
To conclude the essay, return to your argument and consider how you have made it, revisiting key points about rhetorical strategies you have observed and analyzed in Lynch’s article.
This assignment does not ask you to argue for or against the essay’s topic. Rather, you will be writing more about the techniques the author uses than the topic of their essay. Be sure to review “What is Rhetorical Analysis?” in the E-book and in Canvas (PDF under Files and Module 1) for further help in developing your analysis.

What ethical issue have you recently encountered when teaching health promotion

What ethical issue have you recently encountered when teaching health promotion strategies to a patient? What ethical decision-making process did you use?

A. Directions
Step 1: Pick a Topic
Select a community group to study. Some examples of community groups you might explore include:
An activity-based group like a book club, a soccer team, or a community choir
A religious or ideological community such as a church congregation or a local political party
A community organization like a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), a neighborhood association, or the volunteer committee at a local soup kitchen
An identity-based organization such as a social club for veterans or a fraternal type organization
It should be a group in which membership is voluntary and recreational.
Avoid the following:
Families
Workplaces
Ethnic or racial categories
Friend groups
You might wish to choose a group that you are a part of, or you might not. You can use your personal experience with the group to form the basis of your research question. Or you can ask members of the group about their experiences, which will help you develop your research question.
In the template, write a paragraph (approximately 6-8 sentences) describing the community group you have chosen. In particular, be sure to answer the following questions:
What is the community group?
What are the attributes or characteristics of this community group? (e.g. What activities does this group do together? What element of the members’ interests or identities brings them together? How is membership in the group defined, if at all?)
What kind of experience with or access to this community group do you have?
HINT
You will use this same topic in Touchstone 3 when you present your research plan.
Step 2: Ask a Question
Next, you will formulate a question related to this group, and to topics related to diversity and/or collaboration. You might think about diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, socioeconomic status, or along multiple intersecting identities. Be sure to use what you learned in Unit 1 about the ways sociologists ask questions.
Examples:
What are the challenges of a mom’s community organization in appealing to moms with children of different ages?
How does a group of car enthusiasts reach out to the surrounding community to get support for their events?
How has the Boy Scouts accepting girls impacted their mission and programs?
Do gender segregated sports teams for kids help maintain traditional gender roles?
In the template, write the question you have formulated for your study. Be sure to identify the Independent and Dependent variables and identify them correctly. (HINT: Refer back to Lesson 1.3.3: Asking Questions and Lesson 1.3.5: Formulating a Hypothesis for help.)
Step 3: Prepare a Bibliography
Finally, you will begin developing a bibliography for a review of the existing literature that relates to your question. Before conducting a full literature review, a sociologist will build a bibliography, or a list of potential sources that they will read and study in greater depth in the review.
Collect 4-6 articles, books, or other resources that relate to your question and list them in your template. You don’t have to look into these materials in depth right now! You’ll review this literature more closely in Touchstone 3, and you will also be exposed to additional relevant research and frameworks in Unit 3. You’ll also be able to add to or amend your bibliography before you submit Touchstone 3 in Unit 3.
Attributes of good readings for your literature review:
They are academic, scholarly works about research findings or they are reliable journalistic reporting based on scientifically credible and reliable data.
They should have been published in the last 10 years—unless they are a landmark work on the topic and provide important background or as a comparison.
They look at different sides of the argument and a variety of perspectives.
They do not have to be written by sociologists or published in sociology journals, but they should be academic and not popular works.
Where to find readings:
More than likely you will use a major search engine like Google Scholar. Start your search by identifying key search terms related to your research question, to generate relevant results. Google Scholar specifically searches scholarly literature. However, keep in mind that much of this literature may have limited or paid access. Another good place to search is in a public library or university library catalog or database. You might also want to try regular Google, but you will have to be careful to screen your results and make sure you only select academic sources. Whichever way you choose to search, make sure that you are selecting credible sources.
What makes a source credible?
Credible sources are written by authors who are well known in their field. They are based on scientific data—not opinions or with biased observations. Sources should be from reliable outlets, like major publishers, universities, think tanks, and credentialed current practitioners. (HINT: Refer back to Lesson 1.3.4: Researching Existing Sources for more guidance.)
How to format sources in your bibliography:
Sociologists use American Psychological Association (APA) format for their research. However, you will use a more simplified method to format sources for your bibliography. You will include five key elements for each source, with each element separated by a period:
Author’s name(s)
Publisher and publication date
Title of the source, in quotation marks
Page numbers (if applicable)
Source’s location for web-based texts (URL)
EXAMPLE
Alireza Behtoui. Journal of Sociology, 2015. “Beyond social ties: The impact of social capital on labour market outcomes for young Swedish people.” p. 711-724. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1440783315581217
Refer to the checklist below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.

❒ Have you identified and described a voluntary, recreational community group?
❒ Have you provided group attributes/characteristics of this group?
❒ Have you discussed your experience with or access to this group?

Free space – no theme this week 🙂
Summary of the book so far: Esperanza’s family lives in Aguascalientes, Mexico and is very influential. They have a large plot of land. Her Papa gives a place to live to all of the servants that work for the family. Esperanza just turned 13. Papa is (apparently) murdered the night before her 13th birthday (party). Esperanza’s Tio offers to marry Mama and take over the land, but if he does, he will be in charge of everything and will send Esperanza to a boarding school, taking her away from her school and friends. Their house burnt down and now they have no choice but to either marry Luis or leave. He wants Romana’s heavy influence because she is respected in her community. To save her workers, mama ‘agrees’ to marry him verbally, though they decide to join Hortensia, Alfonso, and Miguel (their servants) to escape to California. The family is close with the servant family and relies on them alot. For instance, they decide to trust them through the escaping process to leave for California and work.
