Reading Respond 7
For this week’s reading response, answer both questions fully and completely. To fully answer the question, tether your response to specific theory concepts from your chapter reading and use quotes from the chapter to help ground your argument (you do not need a full APA citation for quotes, just put which edition of the book you are using and a page number — (10th, p. 214), for example). Each question asks you to think in the specific (your personal experiences) and then tie it to the larger understanding of the theory. As we assess your responses, we will be looking to see that you understand the theory by being able to use the concepts from the theory to explain the specific examples.
1. Dramatism
Burke claims that guilt is an underlying motivation for all public rhetoric. Find an apology speech from a celebrity or public figure (or you may use one of the examples I include here). Using the concepts of the Dramatism theory (guilt/mortification and the pentad), analyze the apology. Use specific examples (quotes) from the apology you choose to show concepts from the theory. (If you do not choose an example below, include a link to the apology you are analyzing.)
Tiger Woods (apology for extramarital affair):
Will Smith (apology for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars):
[If anyone has watched the new docuseries on Netflix, Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, Tyra Banks’ apology would be an interesting one to analyze!)
2. Feminist Standpoint Theory
Assess your social location. What social group memberships influence it? Which are most influential? How do Harding and Wood define strong objectivity? How would they measure your degree of strong objectivity? Do you agree or disagree with their assessment? Why or why not?
