Topic Proposal

Whether or not college athletes should get paid


  • This has been a very controversial topic as of recently. Based on what I have heard around, it seems to be a pretty even split between whether or not college athletes should be paid. Thus, I believe this topic is suitable for this writing assignment.
  • Two research questions:
    • Are college athletics, while balancing schoolwork, equivalent to a full time job?
    • Should college athletes get paid?
  • I will send out a survey into my fraternities group chat with the questions. Gather all responses, add them up, and split them accordingly. Then, I will analyze the data thoroughly, as well as provide my opinion on the topic.

The ad makes the audience, primarily men, believe that if they use old spice, they can look like Terry Crews as well. This appeals to the ethos part of the ad where men desire to look like Terry Crews. This ad also uses logos throughout. When Terry Crews flies through a wall, on a jet ski, he says that he can travel through commercials. The ad starts out as Bounce Dryer Bars, then Terry Crews invades the commercial. This leads the audience t\into believing that if a product can travel through commercials, then it's worth buying. Lastly, this commercial uses logos. In the ad, there are explosions and yelling that grab the audience's attention emotionally.
