Intro to Rhetoric: What is rhetoric? When is it useful & when is it harmful? (Critical Thinking)

What is rhetoric? It's the psychological force of expression to influence our attitudes. Our emotions can blind us from thinking critically about the believability of claims and credibility of sources. Because emotions play such a big part in how we see the world, we can too easily be persuaded by how something is said rather than what is actually said. This is the power of rhetoric.

In this lecture, we'll learn more about what rhetoric is, how it works, and when it can be useful vs. harmful.
