The Dangers of Lifestyle Feminism | In Defence of Ann Perkins (Parks and Recreation) | Video Essay
This is a strong example of a debatable argument because Parks & Rec is widely considered to be an empowering, feminist show. The creator of this video uses different modes like definition, compare/contrast, and illustration. She includes a strong concession/refutation. She doesn’t create emotion, but she does use humor to appeal to pathos. She could definitely use more creativity in the on-camera voice over narration (we’ll look at some abstract/conceptual ways to use images to support the ideas you’re speaking about instead of just being on camera).
