2020 Level 1.5 Formal Persuasive Essay Liam Alexandre-Crone

 SHOULD PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS BE ALLOWED IN SPORTS?

I disagree with drugs being accepted in sports. My reasons are; the unfair benefits on those who are under the influence of drugs, harmful effects (some permanent other long-lasting) on their health and well-being, and it may also encourage younger audiences to use illegal substances.

It is unethical for sportsmen or woman who are not under the impact of the drugs rivalled to those who are under the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout the competition. Remedies such as steroids found in testing of athletes can increase your muscle mass and strength. The unfairness of the illicit drugs has been shown through when Valerie Adams came second place in Olympic shotput because of her opponent using performance-enhancing drugs.

Olympic competitors and other elite sportsmen and women are earning up to tens of millions of dollars a year - even per event. Most athletes of this level earn their success through sheer determination and working their way up the ranks through talent and skill. Whereas athletes who take steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, they gain the aid of their illegal supplements to carry them through the ranks and get further along the lines of competitions. It is unfair to those who need not take illegal performance-enhancing drugs to succeed in a sport and put against those who have taken the drugs.

Supposedly, there may be some advantages to introducing similar kinds of drugs to your system, but there are also downfalls such as the consequences on your health and well-being. These effects consist of severe acne and oily hair and skin, heart disease, liver disease, and altered moods -easier irritability, increased aggression, depression or suicidal tendencies-.

With the allowance of these prohibited drugs in sports being allowed, it may influence the audience to experiment with other drugs. For example, younger teenagers may think it is permitted to use drugs because their parents or other influencers they know are using them legally. 

They should not allow drugs in sports due to the unfair advantages on those who take part in sports without the side effects of performance-enhancing drugs.

Rendering Internal

INTRO: At the start of the year we had to design our own drink bottle with a filter, from here we were then given the brief to show three different materials for a potential client.

I liked it because it gave me the chance to get better at rendering and giving detail to my bottle. 

I didn't like it because it was constantly rendering and nothing else.

What is Pathos, Ethos, and Logos.

Ethos, pathos and logos are techniques of persuasion that form the rhetorical triangle. A compelling argument, sales pitch, speech, or commercial ideally uses elements of all three strategies. 

Ethos is the persuasive technique that appeals to an audience by highlighting credibility. Ethos advertisement techniques invoke the superior “character” of a speaker, presenter, writer, or brand. 

Example of Ethos:

Pathos is a persuasive technique that tries to convince an audience through emotions. Pathos advertisement techniques appeal to the senses, memory, nostalgia, or shared experience. Pathos examples pull at the heartstrings and make the audience feel.

Pair work english

 (S) The music in “Walk the line” by “James Mangold”  changed drastically throughout the film. (E) This is demonstrated when at the start of the film Johnny Cash’s
Music is slow and sounds slightly depressing and from there turns into a faster pace more lively speed. Songs that could be used as an example is when he first sings “Folsom prison blues” for the first time at the recording studio and with it being slower-paced compared to  “Get rhythm”  and how its a lot more upbeat. (XThis makes us understand that Johnny is passionate about music and really wants a chance at getting big through it so he needed to change the tempo of which he was playing at, at first. (X)

                                           Have not done directors purpose just yet.

(X) The upbeat faster music coincided with the use of amphetamine Johnny had started and gotten addicted to. Before taking the drugs johnny had seemed depressed but whilst being on the drug he seemed more happy and alive as his career grew and he became more dependant on the use of amphetamine which still ended up with him in a depressed state from withdrawals of the drug. (Y)
This aspect can be compared to lighting and how the lighting changed as he induced the amphetamine and the space around him had changed with his mind from the usage of amphetamine.
