Rhetoric
Helps You Rhetoric Studies can help you
in a number of ways: 1. You become
more aware of how communication works in speech, the media, written texts,
advertisements, legal decisions, and political arguments. 2. Your resume
shows you have communication skills, an understanding of key arguments and
issues, and sophisticated thinking about argument and rhetoric. 3. You learn
theoretical concepts that enhance your understanding of politics, sociology,
history, and many other areas of study. 4. You have the
knowledge for jobs that require you to analyze communication such as being a
lawyer, professor, and political and social activist. 5. You are more
effective at expressing yourself, in handling difficult situations, and in
helping others to communicate better. 6. Your papers
and presentations are more persuasive because you have a greater
understanding of how to connect with audiences and how rhetoric can be
productive in many contexts. Goals for your study
