·         Ethics - moral principles that govern a person's or group's behavior.

o   A few synonyms for ethics? – moral code, morals, morality, values, rights and wrongs, principles, ideals, standards, value system and most importantly.. Virtues.

o   And issue with ethics and etiquette is it isn’t universal. What we might find disgusting here in America i.e. slurping your noodles, is considered polite in Asian countries.

·         A good example of when you should use proper etiquette is when you’re at a formal event where it is required to look nice and act polite. You should always chew with your mouth closed, use proper table manners, be nice and courteous, don’t dominate the conversation, and make people feel welcome and at home, even if you’re at an event at some hotel.     

·                                                              Unethical actions

·                     Willy	Killing himself, having an affair.
·                     Hap	Leaving His father at the resturant to chase girls
·                     Biff	stealing a pen, dropping out of school.

·        My Research Process:

o   My process is pretty self explanatory. I can finish my process in about 5 steps

§  1. Come up with a topic. Be sure to start broad and narrow it down. Broad topics are easier to write, but look bad and are boring to read. When you narrow it down to the cue, you sometimes will get a very interesting topic.

§  2. Come up with some sources. Be sure to find professional sources. Not fake propaganda websites that are super biased. Make sure to find a .gov or .edu or a website that is very unbiased and just provides the facts.

§  3. Scan the sources for interesting facts. If you find something interesting write it down. If it stands out to you then it will most likely stand out to someone else.

§  4. Be sure to write an outline for your essay. Make sure for each paragraph you have a certain thing your discussing. Then when researching find facts that pertain to that certain paragraph. It’ll make your life easier.

§  When finishing the research project, Be sure to CITE YOUR SOURCES. You should do it as you go so as not to forget your sources and plagiarize.

·        Rhetoric can be defined in three categories

o   Ethos – how the character of the speaker affects the audience

o   Pathos – how emotion plays a role in speech and arguments

o   Logos – how you structure an argument and the use of logic

·      

                         “The Devil in The White City” is full of rhetoric and persuasion designed to help the reader understand and feel. There are many examples such as Holmes getting a job at a small store and soon enough taking over completely. He obviously knows how to be persuasive which is pretty normal for a serial killer.

·    

                                        There are many times in my life that rhetoric has made life a ton easier. Getting out of consequences is one of those times that rhetoric can be used and taken advantage of. Not many people like giving out  consequences and if you can take advantage of that emotion, you can generally get out of most consequences.
