No limits just do it!!!!

Module 8: Wind Energy: Green Boundary Limits using Ciceronian Model

Wind Energy: Green Boundary Limits

My focus is on exploring the question “Is Wind Energy Green & Fully Renewable?”                                 

---

Classical Ciceronian argument elementals are a subset of the the modern 8 parts to an argument… exordium, narratio, propositio, partitio, confirmatio, confutatio, Digressio and peroratio.

Exordium is an introduction to gain the audience’s attention & prepares their hearts and minds. 

1. Exxon Valdez Tanker incident that continues to be cleaned up. Has recently become the number two incident since the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
2. A comment about the fears once expressed during the oil embargo with long lines at the gas pumps

Narratio is a narration to provide the background information necessary to establish topical context on an averred factual basis.

1. The new language of alternative fuels is Renewable Energies.
2. List some of the forms of energy that constitute Renewable.
3. Provide why Coal is not truly renewable within the scope of the definition.
4. Why Geo-thermal may not be so green.
5. How the history of Wind Energy for the Americas helpt to tame and domesticate the wilds of North America.

Propositio is a proposition that presents the thesis of an argument.

1. Important to set the bounds or scope of the presentation: My focus is on exploring the question “Is Wind Energy Green & Fully Renewable?”                                 
2. What is the social impact of Wind Energy industry with large scale expansion of the nation’s Mega-grid system does not consider all the potentials or many alternatives. 
3. Where should America go considering the T. Boone Plan “WE & Natural Gas” a centralized plan or “Photo Voltaic hybridized with a Hydrogen Economy” that is decentralized from the national grids.
4. Will there be similar mistake in Wind Energy Industry as seen in the Oil exploitation by consortium mega-corporations?

Partitio is a dialogue partition that provides supportive statements in delineated steps that forecast steps of argument to a conclusion or to dispute an existing conclusion as flawed.

1. Wind Energy is from the Sun.
2. Environmental Impact Studies should be real not just paper for the sake of building Wind Farms.
3. Long Term studies will have to be longitudinal as to their ongoing modification of the adjacent eco systems.
4. Wind Credits are being used to “Clean the Reputation” of other power brokers. Why? How? Will it help?
5. Nature is forcing Humans to find alternatives and to become more responsible. Will their be time to adapt? Will the biosphere recover?
6. Good News … changes in consumer understanding.
7. Need for continued government incentives to prevent Coal and Oil mega-Corps from stopping expansion of Wind Energy
8. Blend and tie it all into the conclusion…

Confirmatio is a confirmation statement(s) that dialogues to prove thesis is true.

1. Wind Energy has a green thumb print but is not perfect.
2.  Wind Energy has limits to being green.
3. There are those who would once again seek to monopolize WE corridors and strangle production to control current inventory values of Coal, Oil, and Gas.
4. Grass roots and decentralized grid is critical to provide competition to the centralized model.

Confutatio (Reprehensio) is a confutation to refute opposing viewpoints to the given thesis.

1. Green house gases are a reality. Whether the globe is warming or cooling there is historical evidence the globe is dynamic in its weather patterns.  Wind Energy does not seem to affect this dynamic one way or the other. More research is needed.
2. Nuclear and carbon based fuel system all pose real problems for the biosphere. Economic instabilities exist because of the addiction to energy based infrastruction.
3. Consumers are blind to their role. Conservation does not have to co-exist with higher energy prices.

Digressio is a digression to dialogue related points to add color, flavor, or other values.

1. Wind Energy can blend into the environment or the viewscapes.
2. Wind Energy can be accomplished without High Tension lines.
3. Wind Energy can be decentralized for personal use or community uses.
4. Wind Energy provides jobs that will help small towns grow again.

Peroratio is a peroration to conclude providing a call for action desired from the audience (sums up, arouses indignation with pity).

1. Each generation must leave this planet to the next generation. We each have an ethical obligation to do this with the least debt and the least harm.
2. Without government incentives or citizen owned coops, Wind Energy will be controled by the same interests who control current fuel inventories.
3. Call to action is to learn more, read more, and to do more to promote renewables especially Wind Energy.
4. Energy independence could take place in less than 20 years if we all stand together for the needed changes.

The six Ciceronian parts of the oration or discourse are Exordium,  Narratio,  Partitio, Confirmatio,  Reprehensio and Peroratio.

Supportive references: First Year Writing: Writing in the Disciplines & University of Texas: Ancient Rome ; http://www.utexas.edu/courses/romanciv/rhetoric.htm 

I concluded the following from my studies and past experience:

Classical Ciceronian argument elementals are a subset of the the modern 8 parts to an argument… exordium, narratio, propositio, partitio, confirmatio, confutatio, Digressio and peroratio.

Exordium is an introduction to gain the audience’s attention & prepares their hearts and minds. 

1. The intro help the speaker and the audience prepare to become open
2. Use of humor can help to flush distraction away while opening the doors to the mind to pay attention. This provided the needed feedback to the speaker to adjust the talk.

Narratio is a narration to provide the background information necessary to establish topical context on an averred factual basis.

1. This is the element of the apology where one uses the rules of evidence to establish what are the pertenent facts to attend to when testing the truth concerning the position of the speaker.
2. A well prepared narrative will  help speaker to set the mental stage for acceptance of the remainder of the dialogue.

Propositio is a proposition that presents the thesis of an argument.

1. Important to set the bounds or scope of the presentation.
2. This prompts the audience to the need to what you will argue for or against.

Partitio is a dialogue partition that provides supportive statements in delineated steps that forecast steps of argument to a conclusion or to dispute an existing conclusion as flawed.

1. Expansion is like opening the door wider to glimpse the realness of the statements made.
2. This supplies the anchors for both the speaker and to audience to visualize the truth.

Confirmatio is a confirmation statement(s) that dialogues to prove thesis is true.

1. This is to promote connections of the partition are connected to the truth.
2.  This a place where one confirms both the logic and emotion of the truth for each person affected.

Confutatio (Reprehensio) is a confutation to refute opposing viewpoints to the given thesis.

1. This is the place where the connections of the confirmation are reinforced for the audience to learn and for the speark to read the feedback from the audience (if live).
2. Important place where one seperates the voters for, against, or undecided.

Digressio is a digression to dialogue related points to add color, flavor, or other values.

1. Additional opportunity to ensure the audience will reflect more on this even after the dialogue is over.
2. Reinforces the cognitive memory experience.

Peroratio is a peroration to conclude providing a call for action desired from the audience (sums up, arouses indignation with pity).

1. This is the place to offer WIIFM group who vote for the speakers position and offer is placed before them to carry on the cause with future action.
2. This is the place to offer those who vote against to reconsider and to show them the easy of supporting the cause with straight forward actions.
3. This is the place to tip the undecided to accept the action plan provided in support of the speakers position.

Comments are welcome!

Rhetoric and Composition

In great need for the 21st Century, Netizens must rediscover how words, their use, topoi, and delivery influence the reception of the message or campaign. I have accepted the challenge to become a member in excellent standing with those in the Bar who hold such influence over the real decision of the rights of the child and the child’s right of access to their parents, culture, heritage, and language.

I have entered college with the purpose to have my bar license by 2016 based on academic honors. This goal is not a destination but a brief stop along the way to build my arsenal as an advocate deployed to argue for the child’s future estate.My first semester in Clarendon College established I am on my way to this gateway goal. I am now at Texas Tech University to further this process at the university level. I will study at the University College of London in 2011, in preparation for Law School at Texas Tech University. My advocacy will be primarily Pro Bono for left behind parents. It is my goal to overcome my lack of formal training in writing.In my technical career at Digital Equipment Corporation, I had been a part of the grand globalism of the WWW when I first maintained a DARPA ANTS node of the fledgling global net at Aberdeen PRG, MD. I was a part of the first wave of blogging as the World Wide Web took on a new posture with real standing in journalism.I quickly learned how less than progressive some educators and collegiate cultures were toward this new form of communication. Main stream America was not yet ready for this technology at the corporate office. A recent urban myth circulated that claimed,” All writers in the blogosphere were plagiarists and pirates!” Such mongering is convenient banter by those who feel threatened by any free speech forums. After more than a decade of blogs, it is clear that great writers write everywhere and anywhere. As a painter would wield their rainbows so does the writer master his art with toil over what word, font, rich media, image, graphic, or song to mix into the electric canvas.  Blogger are here to stay.It is my goal to establish my formal credentials. I am dedicated to profound use of technology to deliver the arguments to spread a viral call to action via the virtual quad of the new forum for thoughtful argument.I welcome all who read this post for any reasoned debate that is intend to be constructive for the rights of families with children. Web-trolls and other hate-mongers will be blocked. Adult content will not be allowed. I reserve the right to block any who violate TOS or decency.
