Week 12

I often get it confused with common sense questions that leave a person asking ''Is that a rhetorical question?" I'm not very use to hearing and using this word outside of English class. Rhetoric means to basically persuade someone; try to get them to come to your side of thinking. Rhetoric can be used as anything: our actions, dress, words, and what we do. It can all be used to persuade someone to think like us or doing what we think is right. I hear it more commonly in English unless its the word rhetorical. When someone uses this term, they are usually trying to teach something so it's positive for us who are learning what it means. It is probably used in my culture as means to help people understand that Wicca is not out there to hurt others. I can use the fact that many people practicing it do not want to hurt others in my portfolio and mini-ethnography.
