Choices 2.0 Chapter 6 Rhetorical Précis


In the educational book “Choices 2.0: Situations for College Writing” (2010), Joe Marshall Hardin asserts that the media has a significant influence on the global cultures of today’s society.  Hardin supports his claim by discussing the various types of media, television, newspaper, and advertisements. He explained on the persuasion aspect that advertisements possess a customer to buy not necessarily what they need the product for but how will the product make the customer’s life easier.  His purpose is to inform his audience on the media’s persuasion in order to present a media critique, which is about making product choices.  The media critique is not only the negative critique, but also to discover the aspect of how the media or the product works.  He has a modernistic tone, he provides numerous examples of media as well as provides steps in writing a productive media critique.
