In this lecture from his Fayetteville State University Critical Thinking class, Dr. Sadler introduces several rhetorical devices used to produce persuasion and to skew perceptions positively or negatively. He addresses euphemism, dysphemism, rhetorical definitions and explanations, stereotypes, and innuendo.

  • Do the prefixes ("eu" and "dys") also apply to the terms utopia and dystopia? I thought they might be, but I am not sure since it is not spelled "eutopia".

    I like the videos so far, by the way.

  • We were using Moore and Parker's Critical Thinking. Not a particularly good book, and apparently the 9th and 10th editions are in certain respects inferior to previous editions. So far, I have to say, I've never found a Critical Thinking textbook I could really say I was happy with. . . might have to write my own

  • What is the book being used in class?
