Before, taking Modern Rhetoric I did not truly understand it and the effect it has on our daily lives. Since taking the class I have noticed how rhetoric has influenced me to make many of the decisions I have made in my life; from fashion, to dieting to college decisions to what I eat and even drink (occasionally). If I could change one thing about rhetoric it would be how it is used in the media. I am not pro-censorship in anyway but some things should be limited. Simply because society later allows people to blame (sue) the media/music for actions they claim these things "encouraged them to do." I believe that it is the responsibility of parents to monitor what their children see or do. So, there should be laws that limit the media or laws to protect the media from those who try to take advantage of it when they make bad decisions.
