Buendia - Blog Post 4 - Persuasive Language Analysis

The Pro column on social networking by Procon used more god terms and characteristic terms than devil terms. In the other side, the Con column used mostly devil terms. The titles of the columns seemed to use euphemisms to make the argument clear, yet not too blunt. Intensity language can be seen in the readers comment against social media. Words like "100%," "forcing people to keep their heads down," and "I feel that these sites should be shut down," express the concern of the reader. The pro column seems to also label some social media users as justice fighters when using social networking to protest against injustice.
