Document Summary
Rhetorical devices: nostalgia, common sense, anecdotal evidence, moral panics. Criticism of moral panic: nature and extent of youth crime, augmenting the theory. According to the questions we answered first class: the class believes we need a separate youth system, the class believes that the youth are out of control. We rotate between fear of young and fear for young people: fear for = things on the internet, fear of = things they may do. American makes it weird that they even needed to mention these things they didn"t talk about his tragic death. In contrast, if it was a white women, they wouldn"t even mention criminal record, because we have assumptions she wouldn"t. Rhetorical devices: nostalgia, the idea of the good old days, where young people respected their elders, you hear this in media and popular discourse, the idea that there"s a crisis to be solved.
