Article Topics

Right now, I'm pulling articles that have the kind of features that make them good choices for rhetorical analysis. I try to aim for a variety of categories (i.e., articles about love/sex/relationships, pieces that focus on politics/the nation, texts that cover parenting/children, etc. etc.).

As I'm reading and vetting pieces, I'm wondering if there's a particular topic you might find interesting (remember, you're analyzing someone else's article rather than generating your own content for this paper). Want to see writing about the Martin/Zimmerman case? Miley's antics? Work/life balance? 

I will try to take all responses into consideration here. If I find something that I think will work, by all means, I'll include it in the list of texts. (I'm generally looking for strong persuasive writing that uses a wide variety of rhetorical devices and boasts a clear argument. This is why I choose the articles rather than allowing you to choose anything from anywhere on the good ol' internetz.) 

Post any recommendations in the comments.

Maybe something in relation to violence in video games, the idea of vigilante justice and how it may or may not be such a goo thing, or parental control- how much should a parent be able to control their child in regards to Internet and text usage.

I think things that everyone can relate to such as love/sex/relationships or school would be interesting, as well as articles in pop culture or current events, something that everyone or almost everyone has heard about.

Where do we find the articles at

Last night my Father was telling my sister and I that our countries plan is to have cars that drive themselves by 2020, and that they are already working on laws for accidents with these self driven cars. I also heard something of how specialists are trying to develop a super computer that you can 'load' your memory on; in essence you will be able to download your memories as well as detect any diseases in an effort to live forever. I believe any of these topics could possible be interesting?
