This week we worked on our two pieces of rhetoric. The purpose of my two pieces of rhetoric is to raise awareness about minority high school dropouts. The gap between minorities and the majority is ever growing. If our country wants to remain number one, a change in our education system is a must. The meaning "No child Left Behind," just cant be another logo for a program that is not working.
I don't think people realize how they also impacted economically by the decisions of these students dropping out. Some of the things dropouts will encounter are unemployment, poverty, welfare, crime, drugs, violence and very important a disadvantage of terminating the cycle if they have children that they will be creating.
The two pieces of rhetoric I created was for a transit banner and a Facebook page. The banner would be for the bus but it also can expand to the light rail Charlotte has. I think when people are waiting to get on the bus or train my banner can expose them to the issue and bring awareness to this silent epidemic. The other piece was a Facebook profile picture to raise awareness about minority high school dropouts. Social networking is really big and everyone is using it. It doesn't look like social networking will be going any where soon so it would be a good idea to expose people to the issue through social networking.
