Rhetoric is prevalent in all aspects of our everyday lives. It is present in countless different means of communication. This includes newspapers, television, books, the internet, and more. Furthermore, the most common place in which rhetoric takes place in our daily lives is in normal, casual conversation. Everything that is said and expressed in all of these mediums contain aspects of rhetoric that make it such a multifaceted thing. While the idea of "rhetoric" may seem complex after hearing this, in actuality, it is an extremely simple concept. Rhetoric is a means by which somebody can effectively convey their ideas to an audience.
With these ideas in mind, it is clear that rhetoric has an extremely great impact upon humanity. Most people think of rhetoric negatively, due to its connection with politics. But rhetoric is something much deeper than this. It is present everywhere. It is not just words, but the expression of thoughts and meanings through countless mediums and techniques. It is present in the daily lives of every living person.
In this E-Portfolio, my understanding and use of rhetoric is expressed through various mediums. All of the components of this portfolio come from my LA101H class. Through this class, I was enabled to develop my understanding of rhetoric, and to learn how to effectively use it to convey my ideas in many different fashions. Now, after completion of the course, I have used my full understanding of the concept to revise my work in order to most effectively use rhetorical concepts.
Through the use of rhetoric, this portfolio enables me to effectively convey a great majority of ideas that I have, and furthermore, enables my readers to even have a better understanding of who I am. In each component of this portfolio, different ideas are expressed using various techniques. Furthermore, I try to express the use of rhetoric in various ways that people do not commonly associate the idea with. This portfolio is not only an expression of rhetoric in our daily lives, but also is an expression of its importance in my life.
