It surprised me how kids get suspended for the smallest issues. The first article about Restorative Justice was interesting because students were able to share their ideas with other people and they felt relieved after it and it reduced their stress. I think that all universities and even schools should switch to restorative justice instead of suspension because it makes a positive impact on the student, unlike suspension which affects them negatively.]]> 2019-04-17 15:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352332338 Article #1 Lakota Schools Bathroom Decision veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352589151 Task #1]]> 2019-04-18 15:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352589151 Claim veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352592302 Lakota Public School District should not discriminate transgender students, as elected officials of a school district, Lakota Public School District should be responsible to make decisions that are in the educational best interest of the child.]]> 2019-04-18 15:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352592302 Two pieces of evidence that support the claim veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352593161 1.)

She was able to appeal to people's emotions, build her credibility and establish some facts and statistics.

Jenner uses emotion in her speech to change people and persuade them to accept transgenders. She said, "They’re getting bullied, they’re getting beaten up, they’re getting murdered and they’re committing suicide. The numbers that you just heard before are staggering, but they are the reality of what it is like to be trans today."]]> 2019-04-19 15:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352764000 How did the tone cause the appeal (Pathos) to support the purpose? veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352764045 The tone of Caitlyn Jenner assertive, positive, defensive, and sentimental made her speech very persuading and emotional, which in turn achieves her goal to accept the transgender community and accept people for who they are.

However, I was really impressed y Caitlin Jenner's speech, It truly touched me and changed the way I view transgenders. Because of the way I was raised and the teachings of the bible and all that, I believed that transgenders were sinners who didn't accept themselves for who they are. After listening to Caitlin Jenner's speech, I respect the transgender community and accept their differences.]]> 2019-04-19 15:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352764185 Article #1: Men Stand Up for Women veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352867081 Task #1]]> 2019-04-20 16:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352867081 Claim: veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352867764 The claim was that past male colleagues have taken actual pay cuts to level out the salary differences (i.e in order to equal their salaries to women's, men don't accept the difference in their money from that of woman's)]]> 2019-04-20 17:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352867764 Two pieces of evidence that support the claim: veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352867772 When Emma Stone says that in her career she needed  male co-stars to take a pay cut so that she may have parity with them.

You don't have to be someone else in order to inspire yourself even if you look like a person of the opposite gender, you are who you are. Also another note she wanted her daughter to understand that it is not all about appearance, it's about how you influence the people around you.]]> 2019-04-20 18:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352872129 Effective Rhetorical Device: veronia_elgomos https://padlet.com/veronia_elgomos/social_justice_argument/wish/352872164 Pink used a number of rhetorical devices in her speech. She used:
Positive connotation:- she used positive connotations to help her daughter understand that no matter how you look what matters is what you do. She used positive connotations like:- inspire, great, influential, artists, and beautiful.
Parallel structure:- She used it when she listed all the names of the artists that were influential. The use of parallel structure in her speech helped deliver the message in easier and quicker to the audience about all the artists that were androgynous but inspired others to do the best.
Metaphors:- Pink used metaphor to compare between different genders, between beauty and ugliness, and between gravel and pearl like when she said we take gravel and turn it into pearl.
Tone: Firm, strong, inspiring, confident, positive
