Period 0: Questions for Consideration by Keri Novotny

Khang Le Question 1

2025-09-26 14:51:26 UTC

Keanu Reeves has an image of being humble and charitable. He is able to keep this up by always talking in a calm voice, donating to charities, and genuinely being a nice person.

Khang Le Question 2

2025-09-26 14:53:40 UTC

I believe that it is unfair use emotions to persuade people when they are easily persuaded. For example kids are often easily deceived which makes it unfair because kids trust adults too much.

Khang Le question 1

2025-09-26 14:55:07 UTC

Some consequences of a faulty assumption is that people start to not trust you, think that your not smart, and people will argue with you.

26agrant — 2025-09-26 15:08:31 UTC

I think it is wrong to try and create an image of yourself that might not be who you really are because it creates a fake shield between the person you are and the person who you are trying to be. It is not authentic to try and create an image that is not your own and makes people more likely to dislike you be you can not hide your true self forever.

Question 2

26mpham2 — 2025-09-26 15:09:44 UTC

Yes, I noticed that the person's image and true personality are two completely different things. My friend appears calm and attentive in school, but, outside of school, he is the polar opposite. He is very energetic and loud. For example, he would do crazy acts in public. I noticed this gap because every day in class, he projects a smart and attentive student to the teacher. However, once school is over, his true personality is revealed.

26agrant — 2025-09-26 15:11:51 UTC

I think almost always it is very deceptive to try to use emotions to persuade people because it is basically tricking them to feel a certain way in order to get them to do something for you that they may not have wanted to do in the first place but felt compelled to due to certain emotions being presented.

Question 3

26mpham2 — 2025-09-26 15:12:56 UTC

Yes, I have done something that was driven by my emotions, and I deeply regret it sometimes. One time, I got angry at my father for a small issue, which led me to argue and say insults at him. At the time, I let my anger get a hold of me. I did not realize what I was doing was useless and irrational. It ended up causing me to hurt both my father and I. Emotions do not serve me well in making a decision because it takes over rational thought.

26agrant — 2025-09-26 15:15:55 UTC

When I write and assignment for class I don't usually think of who I am writing to like my teachers values or beliefs for the most part I like to write what fits the topic and is something I feel is good that I like since it is my writing not theirs, but since it is for a grade that my teacher is grading I take into account their usual grading style and what they suggest to do so that I can get good grades. If I was writing to someone else I probably wouldn't take anything into consideration just write that I like but depending on who it is it could be more serious or fun and free.

Question 2

26mpham2 — 2025-09-26 15:18:11 UTC

If I was writing a class assignment to my teacher, I would use more professional vocabulary and a formal tone. I would most likely use logical reasoning to support my stance. However, if I were writing to a close friend or my sibling, it would be informal and I would probably use the element of pathos or ethos when arguing. This is because I feel like if I were writing to an adult, I feel as if I have to speak professionally. Otherwise, the adults would not take me seriously since I am younger than them. On the other hand, I would use a less formal diction with people my age because I feel like they are more relatable and would be easier to talk with.

Question 1

2025-09-26 15:46:31 UTC

Bernie Sanders is someone whose image is helping the working class. He goes around states and tries to spread awareness about oligarchy and get our working class to stand up and uplift us up to use our voices. He ´ s someone who is a strong & persuasive person.

Question # 3

2025-09-26 15:53:18 UTC

There are lots of times that I have made decisions based on my own feelings and, have later made an impact on me and made me regret my choices. This mostly goes towards all my ex-friendships . Most of them were mainly ridiculous and ended up with me not having much friends than I did before.

Question # 2

2025-09-26 15:57:40 UTC

Whenever I have a class assignment , I do pay attention whenever it comes towards the values and beliefs of the teacher. Just by looking into their classroom or when teaching and saying more of one thing than the other, really lets me know where that teacher stands and kind of keeps me on my tip toes on what I should say or write.

Question 4

26dsegura — 2025-09-29 05:28:47 UTC

No, because sometimes it helps us grow by pretending to be confidence, so it helps us to actually build that confidence. It's better to fake it til you make it.

Question 3

26dsegura — 2025-09-29 05:30:50 UTC

Yes, I have made decision based on feelings that I later regretted., like buying something expensive when I was excited.

Q1

26dsegura — 2025-09-29 05:35:13 UTC

Faulty assumptions lead to unrealistic or illogical conclusions sharing why some reasoning need true premises.

Question 2

26pnguyen13 — 2025-09-29 06:11:06 UTC

I do think it is unfair sometimes or deceptive to try to use emotions to persuade people. Parents sometimes use pathos when they say things like, 'After everything I’ve done for you, this is how you treat me?' to make their children feel guilty and give in to what they want.

Question 2

26pnguyen13 — 2025-09-29 06:14:44 UTC

Yes, I do try to use formal language and include stronger reasons because I know teacher want logic and specific clarification. I would write more casually, like using jokes, if I were writing to a friend. The audience affects how I write.

Question 2

26pnguyen13 — 2025-09-29 06:17:38 UTC

I have tried hard to project an image. My words could be inaccurate because I would say what I initially notice and not what other people notice or have looked more closely into. Sometimes I would talk about the colors of the image or the items/people that I would see.

Jennie Chau

2025-09-29 14:30:33 UTC

I think it is wrong to create an image of yourself that might not be who you really are because once you forget to be your image, people will think of you differently.

26mavalos — 2025-09-29 14:31:04 UTC

Q4: I know it is wrong to create an image on how you aren't. It's not a great idea due facing the idea that people might not know who the real you is. Always create the image of who you are truly.

Q#3

2025-09-29 14:33:53 UTC

I have made many decision that were based on my feelings. I feel like in the moment , people don"t really think and they just do what they feel is right and sometimes it right, but sometimes it is wrong.

Question 2

26hhuynh2 — 2025-09-29 14:35:27 UTC

Yes I have made a decision based on my feelings and regretted before. This was the emotion that I was feeling in the moment of the decision making, either out of anger or frustration. I jus made the decision based on what I want in the moment that did not turn out well when I calmed down and realized. I do not think emotions ever served me well in making decision because it takes over my head to really critically think of the consequences of my choice.

Kim and the Kardashian-Jenner family

The Kardashian-Jenner family is known for capitalizing on social media and their reality TV show to build a powerful brand and control their narrative. They strategically use their platforms to control the flow of information and promote their brands, which include lifestyle, fashion, and beauty businesses and had successfully increased media narratives, both positive and negative, into financial success. For instance, Khloe Kardashian's Good American clothing line was inspired by the media's past obsession with her weight.

Question 4

2025-09-29 14:37:58 UTC

I think that it is wrong to try to create an image of yourself that might not be who you really are because I believe you have to stay true to yourself, simply I don't see the need to change your personality or way of being to satisfy other people.

Q#1

2025-09-29 14:38:11 UTC

Some logical consequences for these faulty assumptions would be like the author would argue that money does come from tree since they are made from paper.

Question 1

2025-09-29 14:39:08 UTC

Alexandria Ocasio-cortez. She cultivates as an image as a progressive, grassroots champion by using social media to connect directly with her constituents and by highlighting her working class background and values.

Question 2

2025-09-29 14:40:49 UTC

I think it is unfair to use emotions when they manipulate people instead of giving them the facts.

Question 3

26hhuynh2 — 2025-09-29 14:42:45 UTC

When I write a class assignment, I do consider the values and beliefs of the teacher. This is because they are the one that assigned the assignment and will be the one that is going to grade my writing so I had to make sure my writing align with my audience's (teacher) satisfactory. I do consider the arguments and support is most persuasive. I do choose words to make it more persuading to my teachers that embrace a more formal message. If I were to write to a different audience like my best friend, I would write more informally with words that can easily describe my feeling more accurately without trying to sound professional.

Question 3

2025-09-29 14:43:39 UTC

Yes, I have made a decision based on my feelings that I regretted later due to my feelings causing me to become indifferent or unconcerned with the other person's emotions. Emotions never served me well in decision making because when myself or even others are feeling mad or upset they tend to act out in a fit of rage or sadness, when what they are doing or saying they do not actually mean.

Question 2

2025-09-29 14:45:42 UTC

I think it is unfair or deceptive to use emotions to persuade people when that person is known to be very easy to persuade or struggles with anxiety and can make them feel like they have to help in a complicated situation they probably didn't want to be put in the first place.

Diana Avila-Q2

2025-09-29 14:46:08 UTC

It is unfair to use emotions to persuade when it involves manipulation or dishonesty and use it to take advantage of someone's emotional state to make them act against their informed judgment.

Question 1

26hhuynh2 — 2025-09-29 14:47:27 UTC

Yes, I think it is wrong to try to portray an image of myself that might not be who I am. This is because people do this for validation and fitting in with people around them as it will hurt their own self esteem more. I believe that there are billions of people in this world and at least someone is going to like you for who you are without having to fake it.

Question 1

2025-09-29 14:51:32 UTC

Faulty assumptions can really confuse a reader and if it really doesn't make sense it could ruin the story because people are gonna be questioning why those confusing assumptions where made and can ruin the entire meaning of the story.

Question 4

2025-09-29 14:51:51 UTC

I do think it is wrong to try and create an image of myself that is not who I really am. This is due to many factors some being stunting personal growth, undermining trust and intimacy as well as devaluing authenticity. All these can personally harm you and the people around you, doing this can cause you to create anxiety and stress upon yourself as well as weakening friendships and close relationships.

Diana Avila-Q3

2025-09-29 14:55:55 UTC

Consequences that start from faulty assumptions, you cannot discern facts from fiction, not sure if anything is real or something is not real. For example, radio listeners thought something they heard on the radio was true.

Question 1

2025-09-29 15:02:02 UTC

If some arguments started from faulty assumptions like "If pigs could fly", a logical consequence would be people being confused and going into panic due to the sudden claim of something supernatural. Another consequence could be scientists researching and trying to understand new genetics that are not real due to someone trying to be funny. Creating such an illusion that is not real can cause people to believe that you are not trustworthy or reliable.

Question 1

26rsalceda — 2025-09-29 15:20:52 UTC

The rock works hard to project the image that he is a powerful and tough guy. He projects this image by posting videos about his rigorous training sessions, by always portraying a muscular character in movies, and he even has a clause in his contract that ensures his on-screen characters are never defeated in a fight, die, or take excessive punishment.

Val Laris Q4

26vlaris — 2025-09-29 20:45:50 UTC

I think that it is wrong to try to create an image of yourself that isn't who you are. I think that it is important to be your genuine self and not concern yourself with what others will think about you. There will always be people who have something to say about you no matter what.

26pbracamontes — 2025-09-30 23:01:33 UTC

I think it's wrong to create a false image of yourself because it's misleading and deceptive. It can work in your favor depending on the situation but by doing this you separate the person from the personality. It's generally frowned upon if you do this because if your the opposite of the image you created, It'll be difficult to try and convince people otherwise; especially if your image was a negative one.

26pbracamontes — 2025-09-30 23:29:30 UTC

I'll admit that for the first PIQ I chose a topic that I knew would make Ms. Novotny emotional in some way. I evoked emotions relating to the topic because I know that almost every person would have felt sad or empathetic towards me; and knowing who would be reading it, I purposely chose to write about it to guarantee a good grade by choosing something I know might hit in the feels.

26pbracamontes — 2025-10-01 00:33:23 UTC

Yes, I consider the values and beliefs of the teacher while writing. I purposely choose arguments that have the most evidence and opportunity to use emotional persuasion. I use authenticity as a style choice to persuade because someone who knows me a good amount(like my teachers) will be able to tell when you're being yourself or not. I write properly for adults/teachers, and I write more so how I talk, if the audience was a friend/peer.

Question 4

2025-10-01 20:33:12 UTC

I believe that it is wrong to try to create a false version of yourself, because not only are you being dishonest to yourself while having to worry about keeping up with this alternate image, you are allowing people to be attracted to something that isn't real. You aren't giving yourself the chance for others to appreciate or love your true self.

Question 2

2025-10-01 20:41:56 UTC

Using emotions to deceptively persuade people is unfair when there is not enough logic to back up a claim or manipulate a situation; If you can't argue against that claim because of emotional appeal or vulnerability.

Question 2

2025-10-01 20:46:28 UTC

When writing a class assignment, I do consider the values of my teacher. I wouldn't want to write about something that my teacher doesn't support, especially if it is a belief that is controversial to many. With complicated topics, I feel that if I were writing to close people in my life, rather than a teacher, I would be a lot more honest but less formal. However I would still find ways to logically back up my argument.

question 4

26scastaneda — 2025-10-03 18:49:11 UTC

Yes, I think it is wrong to create an image of yourself that might not be who you really are because you are lying to everyone around you. By pretending to be something that you are not you are just hurting yourself because in the long run all the lies will catch up to you.

Question 3

26scastaneda — 2025-10-03 18:51:27 UTC

When I had an argument with my sister I started crying and putting all the blame on to myself so that she'd take pitty on me and not be so mad.

question 1

26scastaneda — 2025-10-03 19:58:28 UTC

Some logical consequences of using the assumption "if pigs could fly" or "If money grew on trees" would be that logically this would never happen, but we never know what the future looks like to know what will happen.

Chloe Acosta Q1

2025-10-10 00:13:01 UTC

I think a celebrity who works hard to project a particular image would be Lady gaga. What she does to create this image is very artistic and she is more widely known for her provocative fashion and also her artistic profession and how she works hard to keep her image like this and she also uses her famousness to socially advocate for things and self-expressions

Chloe Acosta q3

2025-10-10 00:20:26 UTC

I have made decision based on my feelings one time and I have regretted it ever since. In this case my emotions did not serve me inside of the well making at all I lost people important to me and can never go back to that and remake that decision I very much do regret it.

Chloe Acosta Q2

2025-10-10 00:25:00 UTC

When I write a class assignment I do not ever consider the teachers values or the beliefs at the moment because that is not something really on my mind at the moment. But I do consider the arguments I am using for the paper and how which one would be the most persuasive to the readers. Sometimes don't use the best word choice to make it more persuasive and use some basic vocabulary in the writing . When I am writing to the teacher I am checking my Grammar and see if I am spelling things right, But when I am writing to my best friend I just automatically assume that she can read anything I write no matter what the Grammar or spelling is.
