Rhetorical Triangle

For each video, discuss in-depth the three parts of the Rhetorical Triangle (speaker, audience, and situation) and the relationship between each element. Please note that we are using the modern Rhetorical Triangle (speaker, audience, situation) and not Aristotle’s classical rhetorical triangle (logos, pathos, and ethos) or any other version.
