Post 04: Code of Justice

 October 30, 2024

    In our real world, we use rhetoric when we don't even realize it. Laura Bolin Carroll, author of Backpacks vs. Briefcases, talks a lot about implementing rhetoric in everyday life. "Chances are you have grown up learning to interpret and analyze these types of rhetoric. They become so commonplace that we don't realize how often and how quickly we are able to perform this kind of rhetorical analysis." (Carroll, 48). 

    The rhetorical context of criminal justice is important to any career in the path of law. Analyzation is consequential in criminal justice degree careers for the reasons that you have to come in contact with all sorts of people. For example, networking is a huge part of it; networking will allow you to meet new people who are your higher ups, and will unfold new positions and opportuinities in your career. Not only is communication and analyzation crucial in the sense of networking, but also talking to criminals, or rather anyone with a mental disorder of some sort, depending on what route of criminal justice someone decides to go down, analyzation is a major part of talking to people to get information for the greater good of a majority, or to help calm someone down to allow the conduct of order. 

    In writing, learning, especially in my Doc 02 about a criminal justice degree, rhetorical context and analyzation is important to understand. Carroll writes powerfully in order to convey the messages of rhetorical context of everyday life, as well as essays and writings, and how the elements such as context, audience, author, reasoning, etc is crucial for reading. Using Carroll's configuration of rhetorical context, you can realize how major it is to communicate using rhetorical analysis in the criminal justice field.
