Understanding Visual Rhetoric: A simple beginning definition of visual rhetoric

Understanding Visual Rhetoric: A simple beginning definition of visual rhetoric and its applications are as follows:Use of images as argument
Arrangement of elements on a page
Use of typography (fonts, etc.)
Analysis of existing images and visuals
Assignment Instructions:
1. Conduct an online search for relevant/controversial visuals (static or dynamic). Select at least 3.
2. Reflect on the visuals you have selected and revised, then conduct a rhetorical analysis.
Apply the following strategies:
1. Describe/Observe
First, describe what you see in the visual quite literally. Begin by focusing on colors, shading, shapes, and font if you’re analyzing an advertisement. As you describe them, observe the texture, shape, contour, etc., of each element. For this initial stage, you are simply describing what you observe. Do not look deeper at this point.
2. Respond/Reflect
Next, respond to the ways in which the things you described have impacted you as a viewer. What emotions are evoked from the various shadings and colors in the image? If there are words present, what does the artist’s font selection do for the image? At this stage, you are questioning the elements used so that you may move to the final stage of analysis.
3. Analyze/Question
After you’ve described and reflected upon the various elements of the visual, question what you have noted and decide if there is an argument presented by the visual. This assessment should be made based on what you’ve observed and reflected upon in terms of the image’s content alone. Ask yourself if the arrangement of each item in the visual impacts the message. Could there be something more the creator wants you to gather from this visual besides the obvious? Question the criteria you established in your thesis and introduction to see if it holds up throughout your analysis. Now, you are ready to begin writing a visual rhetorical analysis of your selected image.
Requirements:
Your visual(s) must be included in your post (as an embedded image, not an attachment).

The enduring tradition of donning ugly sweaters has become an integral and cherished component of our family’s annual Christmas festivities. Without fail, we gather together each year for an exuberant ugly sweater party, proudly showcasing our most outlandish and eccentric fashion choices. This beloved tradition originated five years ago during an impromptu shopping excursion my mother and I embarked upon just days before Christmas. After selecting Kohl’s as our destination, we immersed ourselves in various merchandise, ranging from household items to baby clothing.
As we leisurely perused the extensive aisles, we were immediately captivated by a prominent display of ugly Christmas sweaters. Intrigued, we gravitated towards the section, eager to explore the offerings. The racks were brimming with sweaters of various shapes, sizes, and patterns, each one more audacious than the last. It felt as though we had stumbled upon a hidden trove of fashion disasters, and we couldn’t help but be enthralled by the sheer audacity of these garments.
Excited and curious, my mother and I meticulously combed through the racks, examining each sweater. We were chuckling at the garish designs, clashing colors, and over-the-top embellishments. This shared experience fostered a sense of connection as we exchanged thoughts and opinions on the sweaters we found most delightfully hideous. After much deliberation, we made our final selections and proceeded to the checkout counter, eager to bring our newfound treasures home.
Little did we anticipate that this spontaneous shopping expedition would mark the inception of a cherished family tradition. On Christmas Day, our extended family convenes, each member proudly adorned in their chosen ugly sweater. As we exchange gifts and regale one another with stories, we take pleasure in recounting how this tradition came to fruition as if it were a recent occurrence. The room fills with laughter and joy as we revel in the absurdity of our fashion choices and the memories they evoke.
Following the festivities, the sweaters are meticulously stored away, each serving as a tangible reminder of the love and laughter shared during this time. They transcend their status as mere articles of clothing, becoming vessels of cherished memories interwoven into the very fabric of our family traditions. As we bid farewell to yet another Christmas season, we eagerly anticipate the forthcoming year’s memories and moments that our beloved ugly sweater tradition will undoubtedly bring.
In conclusion, donning ugly sweaters has become an indelible cornerstone of our family’s Christmas celebrations. It unites us, ignites laughter and joy, and engenders enduring memories we hold dear. It serves as a testament to the power of tradition and the significance of finding delight in the most unexpected places. As we gather once more, donning our striking fashion choices, we are reminded of the love and togetherness that this tradition embodies.

Question 1
For this forum, choose one of the following topics to respond to for your initial post. When you respond to your peers please respond, if possible, to a learner who has posted a contrary view on the topic you selected and then, at a minimum respond to at least one learner who has posted on the topic you did not select.
Topic A: Physician Assisted Suicide
Some people promote the idea that humans should have the right to die with dignity (see https://www.deathwithdignity.org/ ). Several states have legalized physician-assisted suicide (PAS). However, others may argue that a doctor prescribing a deadly prescription violates that doctor’s Hippocratic Oath or claim that suicide by any means is immoral. Doing research and taking into consideration the actual laws concerning when and how a confirmed terminal patient would be able to request PAS, make an argument that it is or is not a moral action. Also see if you can find Kant’s famous argument on the immorality of suicide. Does he have a point or are there just some times when the morally right thing to do is to allow a person to end his or her suffering?
Question2
For this forum, choose one of the following topics to respond to for your initial post. When you respond to your peers please respond, if possible, to a learner who has posted a contrary view on the topic you selected and then, at a minimum respond to at least one learner who has posted on the topic you did not select.
Topic A: Female thinking?
Doing some research (nothing more than 5 years old) and present an argument that women think differently than men (or that they do not) and that they process morality matters differently (or they do not).
Topic B: Transgender athletes and gendered sports competitions
Do some research and present an argument as to whether or not transgender athletes should or should not be banned from competing against other, non-trans athletes of the gender with which they identify.
Topic C: Abortion
Abortion is always a sticky subject. Taking the notions of care ethics and relationships in moral matters into consideration, present a researched argument that there are times when having an abortion is the morally right thing to do.

Description. Each student will develop a digital leadership resource guide for their
current and/or future practice related to the leadership content learned throughout the
semester. Over the course of the semester, we will be exploring a variety of resources
related to leadership theory and practice. In addition to these resources, students
should explore what additional campus, community, digital, or other information exists to
help them in their leadership development. This assignment is intended to help students
synthesize their developing leadership competencies and to create a digital resource
guide that adds several additional resources beyond those examined in the class
(minimum of 10 additional sources). The digital leadership resource guide should be in an ELECTRONIC format and may take the form of a web page, a hyperlinked
document, an interactive infographic, a PDF, or part of the student’s academic portfolio
as part of their degree program.
In your digital leadership resource guide, please
incorporate the following elements:
• A recorded, oral summary of your personal philosophy of leadership and what
competencies/topics we have explored in class that most resonate with you (5
minutes maximum);
• Reflection on your Clifton Strengths Inventory results (Top 5) and their
connection to your personal philosophy of leadership;
• Your five favorite readings about leadership; these can be both academic and
non-academic (web, magazine, news sources, etc.) but at least two must be
academic and peer reviewed. Provide a paragraph summary of these readings,
highlight aspects from them that are important to your personal philosophy of
leadership, and discuss how you decided that these were reliable sources using
information from Unit 2 on information literacy;
• A minimum of two readings related to leadership in your intended major or career
field of interest. Provide a paragraph summary of these articles, highlight aspects
from them that are important to your personal philosophy of leadership, and
discuss how you decided that these were reliable sources using information from
Unit 2 on information literacy;
• At least five campus and/or professional resources that relate to the development
of leadership practice in your major and/or intended career. These can be
activities/events/workshops on the WMU campus; activities in the community;
and/or professional associations and professional development activities. Please
provide details on where information on these activities is listed and how
individuals can take advantage of the activities (timelines, processes, websites,
etc.).
This assignment is graded on the following criteria (see the Demonstrate and Apply
Information Literacy Rubric in E-learning for additional information):
• Location & Inclusion of required elements (summary, Strengths, five favorite
readings with summary, two major related resources with summary, five
professional development resources)
• Evaluation of information, selecting the most appropriate resources (resources
are appropriate to the topic, the types and numbers, relevant to leadership,
connection to major as required)
• Synthesis of resources – summaries connect sources of information
• Creation of resources guide from a variety of sources (readings, digital,
websites)

#1. 2 ) Tim Cresswell wrote:
“This is the most straightforward and common definition of place—a meaningful location.” (p. 132)
Please explain first how Cresswell distinguishes “space” from “place,” and then give an example of how the problem statement of your portfolio can connect with the idea of place as a “meaningful location. 5) Brandt cites the following definition of Interprofessional Collaborative Practice from the World Health Association:
“Interprofessional collaborative practice ‘occurs when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds provide comprehensive health services by working with patients, their families, carers (caregivers), and communities to deliver the highest quality of care across settings.’” (p. 10).
In roughly 3 sentences please adapt this concept of “interprofessional collaborative practice” to the objective of your portfolio’s problem statement, naming at least three kinds of professionals from three different fields who should be collaborating to achieve an optimal outcome.
The course readings are selected both as examples of interdisciplinary thinking and also as models for how you might think about your own portfolio. With that in mind, please write 2-3 paragraphs about how at least 2 of the readings from the class contribute to your thinking about the problem statement for your portfolio.
Remember that better essays engage with and make reference to the class readings.
