Most experts consider some type of debt, such as a mortgage, financially necessary. However, credit –card debt never benefits an individual’s long-term financial goals. Today even college students without jobs or credit cards can usually acquire credit cards easily. Unfortunately, many students charge expensive purchases and pay only the minimum balance on their cards every month. Graduating from college with a large credit-card debt can severely limit a person’s opportunities.

Exercise 2 : Identify and correct phrase fragments (use section 36a-36e in Unit 7 of Keys for Writers, 7th edition, for guidance).

In each of the following 5 sentences, correct any phrase fragments by attaching or moving a dependent clause to another part of the sentence, or by simply adding or omitting certain punctuation to make the sentence combine correctly. Ultimately, if the sentence is not correct, you must change it so that it is, but not change the meaning of what is being originally said by adding information. If the sentence is correct, simply TYPE a big RED C at the end of the sentence (or in place of the sentence). Worth 5 points

The complexity of issues surrounding genetics, ethics, and societal norms is epitomized in the provocative visual argument titled “Human Meat.” This piece presents a stark juxtaposition of imagery and textual elements to stimulate debate over controversial ethical implications of using human tissue in scientific and commercial contexts. The main argument advanced by this visual piece asserts that the consumption or utilization of human meat raises profound moral questions that challenge societal boundaries and moral sensibilities. This argument primarily falls under the claim of value, as it questions moral standards rather than asserting empirical facts or defining policy but rather encourages viewers to reevaluate their ethical frameworks.

The purpose of this visual argument is to provoke viewers into critically examining the morality of using human body parts for scientific purposes or consumption, aiming to evoke emotional responses that lead to moral contemplation. The creator appears to intend that audience members confront their moral comfort zones and reconsider the boundaries of permissible human exploitation. Through shocking imagery and provocative language, the piece intends to create an emotional impact (pathos), to persuade viewers to think ethically about the boundaries of human rights and scientific innovation.

Supporting the main argument are several reasons embedded within the visual elements. For example, the imagery of dissected human bodies and the phrase “Could this be necessary?” evoke considerations of scientific progress and necessity. These serve as reasons to question the ethical limits of such practices. The evidence supporting these reasons is primarily persuasive imagery, including photographs of scientific laboratories and anatomical dissections, which serve to ground the argument visually in scientific and experimental contexts.

The rhetorical appeals employed in this visual argument demonstrate a strategic use of ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is established through the professional, scientific presentation of images and the use of authoritative language that suggests credibility in scientific experimentation. Pathos is heavily invoked through the disturbing imagery of dissection and cannibalistic connotations, designed to provoke emotional reactions and moral outrage. Logos is presented via the logical progression of questions and the depiction of scientific practices, inviting viewers to consider the rationality and necessity behind such acts.

This argument rests on the assumptions that science should be transparent and ethically guided, and that humans have a moral obligation to prevent actions that could devalue human life or dignity. It assumes that viewers will respond emotionally and ethically to disturbing imagery and provocative questions, leading to moral reflection and possibly rejection of certain scientific practices that, in their view, cross ethical boundaries. By critically analyzing these assumptions, viewers can better understand the persuasive strategies used to challenge moral consensus on controversial issues involving human tissue.
