Terms and Angles of Vision

Using the readings in Chapter 3 and some searching on your own, track one of the rhetorically loaded phrases that pops up frequently in public debates about corporate responsibility, the global free trade of goods and jobs, and its impact on the U.S. economy: "job creators," "class warfare," "protectionism," "corporate welfare," "socialism," " level the playing field," "1 percent and the 99 percent," and "corporate rule." Choose two or three text or visual arguments from the file I provide, and briefly explain how each writer's use of on of these terms in the argument reveals the writer's angle of vision (values, assumptions, background, and position on the argument's subject).
