In the rhetorical analysis assignment, you will be expected to demonstrate an understanding that every text is created for a unique situation and audience. You will need to act on this by analyzing the decisions made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on their website about ADHD. This includes the persuasive appeals the CDC uses.
Aristotle believed that speakers and writers used three kinds of persuasive appeals. Logos is an appeal to the audience’s powers of reason or logic. Pathos is an appeal to emotions or senses. Ethos is the personal appeal, charisma, or credibility of the speaker or writer. These three appeals are known as the rhetorical triangle because all three sides work together to make a text effective or not.
In your own words, explain the concepts of pathos, logos, and ethos and why they are important appeals to recognize in a text. Next, use the CDC’s page about ADHD to analyze the ethos, logos, and pathos in the document.
Consider the following questions in your response:
What do you think about the logic presented in the document?
What do you think about its emotional appeal?
What about its appeal to authority or credibility?
Does the CDC effectively present each of the rhetorical appeals? Why or why not?
Link to Centers of Disease Control’s website:
http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html

Read the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s page on ADHD; the link is provided below. Use the close reading techniques described in Chapter 1 of the e-book. It may be helpful to print off the page and annotate the text. Then, summarize the website in 150-250 words. Your summary should be similar to the example provded in Chapter 1 of the textbook.
Your summary should answer at least three of the questions below:
What key facts or details does the CDC share about ADHD?
In addition to the facts, what impression does the CDC create about ADHD? In other words, how does it make readers feel or what does it make readers think about ADHD?
What would motivate the CDC, which is a government institution, to post a page about ADHD?
Why, in your view, is the Web page a good or bad method for the CDC to distribute information?
How do you think the average reader would react to the CDC’s page about ADHD?
(Hint: Do not try to summarize every detail. Focus on the main points the page is trying to convey. It is helpful to think of the CDC’s page in terms of its sections, rather than its many facts.)

For your Final Project, you will write a 8- to 10-page theory paper that articulates your theoretical orientation toward working with couples and families.

Key factors that account for changes in behavior
An explanation of how intervention strategies are designed within this theoretical orientation
An explanation of how your theory conceptualizes mental health
Key factors that contribute to healthy family/couple relationships
A description of the skills necessary within this theoretical orientation to meet the agreed upon goals and outcomes for couples and families

Submit
a 5- to 7-page paper in which you address the following four areas:
Describe the agency setting. Is it public or private, non-profit or for-profit? Is the agency’s primary goal to serve trauma survivors? Approximately what percentage of clients would be defined as trauma survivors?
Explain each of the 10 implementation domains in detail and discuss if/how well the setting applies each of the 6 principles. You may want to present this in table format with a brief narrative.
What are your ideas for improving the principles that are not well implemented? Be specific about organizational, environmental, programmatic, and/or administrative changes that would need to be made.
Address the barriers to creating trauma-informed services in this setting.

compare the women protagonists, Jig in Hemingway’s story and Louise Mallard in Chopin’s stories. What is the conflict each confronts? How do they approach their dilemmas? Did either make a conscious decision? Do either of these women change or grow in character? Does either resolve her conflict? If so, how? Although one has no future, what do you predict will happen to the other?
Although you do not have to write a formal essay, be sure to use standard written English and observe the rules of academic writing learned in your college writing classes. Also quote from the text to support your main points.
Your response should be about 700 to 800 words.
