201--Speech
Boys are stupid and girls have cooties is the topic of the week. This is supposed to be funny, people. Lighten up. Deliver, now.

301--Non Verbal

Aristotle said that rhetoric is finding and using, in a given situation, the availible means of persuasion.

Let's discuss the rhetoric of the body in the context of what we've learned so far this term. Persuasion, trust, authority, power...all these things factor in to our subconsciuos reactions. Sometimes the message is misinterpreted between the sender and receiver because of differences in cultural meaning.

Rhetoric of body, people. Let's roll.

"Boys are stupid. No matter how smart they are, they're stupid, especially about girls." Parker's eyes narrow. "Girl cooties allow us to tell which boys go beyond stupid into phenomenally hopeless. Cooties give us intuition, pheromones, better balance, and of course, reduced testosterone. That's why we're less stupid. Boys don't want cooties because the testosterone makes them think they'll be like girls if they get them. They should be so lucky."
