Think about how stuff impacts our lives. Watch the following three video clips, and choose one that captures your
attention. For your selection, determine the central premise. Conduct a brief analysis, considering what
rhetorical devices the video uses to argue and support its central premise and associated claims and the
effectiveness of these rhetorical devices. In the process, identify at least two claims made in the video and
fact-check these claims with credible sources. Finally, explain the extent to which you were or were not
convinced by the video’s argument.
