watch/stream the movie “Thank You for Smoking” and write a ONE PAGE (4 paragraph) analysis about the language you observe and the characteristics of that language, as the main character supports his(/his company’s) ideas – in order to try to persuade the public. First, tell me what the movie is about (DO NOT copy & paste what a movie critic/review posted. You will receive “0” points for not writing your own review that directly discusses concepts in this course.); then, answer the following questions: 1.) What kinds of supporting materials (Chapter 7) are being used by the main character/speaker? 2.) What language characteristics are being used by the main character/speaker (Chapter 10)? 3.) Is this language ethical?-Explain why or why not. (Note: Ethics – The branch of philosophy that deals with issues of right and wrong in human affairs. Questions of ethics arise whenever we ask whether a course of action is moral, fair, just, or honest. Once these questions arise you must make ethical decisions – weighing a potential course of action against a set of ethical standards or guidelines.) & 4.) Regarding the main character/speaker, is there a shift in the language you observe and the characteristics of that language?-Explain why or why not. THE LAST DAY YOU MAY TURN-IN OPTIONAL EXTRA CREDIT SUBMISSIONS IS (DUE) THE DAY *BEFORE* FINAL EXAM DAY. IF YOU CHOOSE THIS ASSIGNMENT YOU MUST ALSO POST A VERY BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS MOVIE IN CANVAS – TELLING THE CLASS WHAT YOU THINK OF THE MOVIE.
