As I was reading other student’s
definitions of rhetoric, I found lots of similarities and differences. Some
differences were subtle changes in wording that shifted the meaning. (Ex: “way”
of communicating versus “art” of communicating.) I also noticed that most people
tend to focus most of their report on a single idea. I have found interesting that so many people
can read the same thing and take different points and ideas from it.
From this experience, I am reminded
of a point that I only skimmed over earlier.
Writing is now more of a team effort than it has ever been before. When we write a research paper, we get
information from other people. Those people probably got some ideas from
others. Or when you send a post, others will
reply with their own experiences, tips, questions and ideas. Before you know it, you are learning about
things you haven’t thought of before.
With modern technology,
people all over the globe are interacting with each other. Now, more than ever,
it is important to keep an open mind and be respectful of others point of view.
It is also crucial to not be easily offended when someone disagrees with you.
The world got
a little smaller with the help of the internet.
Writings can be accessed from countries apart. When teamwork is such a
big part of our life, it is paramount that we remember to be understanding of
others.
