Week 10 - 3 of 3
The one concept I think could have further discussion is Appeal to Emotions. Not only being one of my favorite, I think it may be the most important. That is, we see it and use it in everyday life, and practically everyday. I do not think there is an ad outside or on T.V. that I do not have some type of emotional reaction to. We never think about it but things that we think are stupid, or silly make us feel something as well. This concept cannot only teach us how to overcome our emotions towards thinking about them but also how to use them to our advantage. Because our emotions are so strong, we usually go with them instead of taking the time to really think about things from every perspective and really choose the best way or idea. Appeal to Emotions are usually intended (obviously) aimed for our emotions. This class and the book teach us how to set aside our emotions and think logically. If we spent more time on this, I really think it could help us later on in life.

Even though I completely picked a different concept that I use, I found that this is a useful concept to use sometime in the future. It is true where our emotions are so strong at times that as society taking the time to really think about things very perspectively and choose an idea that is best or ideal. The book is a perfect source for teaching how to deal with many emotions logically; without this, our society will face many problems where they will express anything for whatever reason they find reasonable.
