In this weeks assignment we are looking at an artifact and writing about it. Since we had two votes for the Parthenon and I have received approval from Professor Waldron, that will be the artifact we look at. If you are not aware of the significance of The Parthenon in Greece, I have attached a link to some information.

 

 

 

We must answer the following question in our assignment so I think it is best if we divide them up. The questions are…

 

    Describe the audience the message was designed for.

    Describe how the artifact qualifies as persuasion under the definitions we talked about.

    What theories explain the effectiveness of the artifact?

    What theories might be used to improve the effectiveness of the artifact?

    Was the artifact written ethically?

    How could it be written differently so that it would be ethical?
