Rhetorical Movements

Essay#1 Rhetorical Movements:

Choose one, or maybe combine two, of the 

political and social movements 

described in the text

and explain why you do (or could) identify with it/them. Analyze the 

values and/or beliefs

of this 

particular movement or group in relation to your own values and beliefs. 

Give examples of how you have acted in 

response to these philosophies

(whether you knew about the movement/rhetoric at the time or not). Be observant and 

careful in your personal examples and your analysis. 

How have these beliefs and values influenced your attitudes and 

actions – and how has this shown up in 

your communication

?

Men and women can identify with ANY movements – 

women’s, men’s or LGBTQ. Do NOT merely write a summary of the movements!
