Rhetoric on Youtube


     
          
In the age where we can share our ideas easier than ever with and electronic device.  There are many different ways in which we commutate, wither it a phone call, a text message, an image online, or videos. The most popular way is to share a video on YouTube. While YouTube isn't the only video base website out there it is the one that has broken thought the public conscious. 

Common Users VS. Content Creators
The user base of YouTube is separated into two selection, one group is the content creators and the other is the people who watch the videos. This is where communication digital age really comes into play.

Common Users
With the people who watch these video are often not known by their real names but instead known by user names. This give the user a sense of freedom to post whatever they feel like, for better or for worst. This give the user a layer of protection from the general public knowing their true identity. Some people will use this sense of safety to negative to other users on the site, on the Internet this act is called trolling, which is an act of posting native comment towards any person or group. On the other side, YouTube keeps track of every user's full names, date of birth and emails; this is given when the user is signs up for an account on the website and a user account is needed to be able to upload and comment on videos.
Example of trolling on Youtube


Content Creators
On the public side of YouTube are the content creators themselves, these are the people who make the video content is on the site. Most of them are known by the full names, this is done in order to connect with their audience members. A great example of this would the video produced by Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter, after watching only one or two of their videos you know everyone name who was part of the video. Since they are in the spotlight their action are more watched and will hear it if they say or do something that the audience doesn't agree with.

In The End
When we are online are action are always being monitor, but how close depends will be different user to user. It will up to the user wither they want the information out there or not.

Rhetorial in My Daily Life

     Here are few examples of rhetorical that I've experience in day to day life. These are examples are from television show sitcom Community. Its the only television show that I will watch as it airs on  TV. The main character of the show use great rhetorical thru out the show is unique and easy connect with the audience.
  •  "The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach, and the truth is, I get claustrophobic when things get official." - Jeff Winger, (Community, TV Show)
  •  "Do you know how many fake people are talking about how fake the world is today?"- Jeff Winger, (Community, TV Show)
  •  "We most of our lying when we are alone." - Jeff Winger, (Community, TV Show)
  •  "We're the only species on Earth that observes Shark Week. Sharks don't even observe Shark Week, but we do, for the same reason I can pick up this pencil, tell you its name is Steve, and go like this! [snaps pencil in two to the discomfort of the others] And part of you dies, just a little bit, on the inside. Because people can connect with anything. We can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a shark, and we can give Ben Affleck an Academy Award for screenwriting." - Jeff Winger, (Community, TV Show)
  • "People can find the good in just about anything but themselves." - Jeff Winger, (Community, TV Show)
