Introduction and Conclusion
The verification obtained from the government gives any paper credibility in that the issues addressed are in line with the requirements of the selected institution. The go-ahead that was given by the policymakers to the author was based on the need to beat the fallacy that was being created by the media concerning the vaccination that the government was planning to administer. The article analyzed has shown exemplary tackling of the issue of vaccination and the impact of the media on spreading fallacies concerning the exercise that the government is advocating for currently. The general news from the media has indicated that the current emergence of the measles epidemic in the US has not been given the required attention, and several parents are preventing their children from getting immunized. The proper use of concise headlines and ethos is always crucial in passing reliable information. The media is blamed for giving information that lacks truth and evidence, thus misleading a greater part of the population. Parents who have not already taken their children for vaccination might avoid taking them after learning that other parents are questioning the exercise. Therefore, the article has successfully managed to positively criticize the media on the weaknesses as well as the strengths associated with the media. The use of rhetorical features in the paper has been essential in expressing the logical fallacies created by the media, although bias has been spotted in some aspects of the article.
In sum, the article is effective in that it showcases the author’s conciseness in pointing out the headlines in a bid to make Ethan Linderberger famous for fifteen minutes that he talks about vaccination. Also, the article has successfully used Ethos to show the courage of some children who have defied the orders of their parents to get vaccinated. Although defying parent’s orders could mean a lack of ethics, sometimes the children are viewed as heroes upon making some decisions. The article has managed to use rhetorical strategies that are similar to the ones used by news articles in the promotion of arguments. News articles tend to be persuasive and strong in passing information, and the analyzed article has not done less. The clever rhetorical analysis has ensured that the contentious issues are addressed concerning vaccination. Additionally, the logical fallacies created by the author have been supported by external links to ensure that authenticity has been maintained and that all the relevant information has been provided. However, the article has appeared to be biased at some point when addressing the issue of Ethan. The article can be said to have supported the media’s support of Ethan, which poses a risk of turning other children against their parents. The parent-children relationship should be maintained at all costs and issues such as vaccination should be addressed with proper engagement of the parties involved. The challenge given by the article to the medial articles is effective in that media houses will be expected to act as sources of reliable information and not centers of emotional creation.
