Op-Ed Outline

Example Intro: Although media has revolutionized society positively in numerous ways, one negative aspect of media is that it transmits extremely terrible music to the world, worsening peoples' musical tastes. Every day society is exposed to ridiculous music produced by people who just want fame and have no experience whatsoever. Their songs contain the funniest lyrics and the most embarrassing music videos made in history.

(Criticize the music and artists as well.)

- Justin Bieber - Baby

- Rebecca Black - Friday

- Nicki Minaj - Stupid Hoe

Example Conclusion: By listening to Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black and Nicki Minaj, society is digging its own grave. What would real artists say about this type of music? The transmission of the trash or "music" that society refers to nowadays is a consequence of having such advanced media. It cannot be stopped because unfortunately, it is what catches people's attention. In the next few years, someone, or somehow, should stop this trash that we are connoting as real music.


Persuasive Techniques:

Metaphors
Similes
Hyperbole
Repetition
Name Calling
Association
Humor
Rhetorical Question
Ad Hominem

  3. Seunguk, please go into a little more depth with your outline. Your topic is interesting, but it's difficult to see exactly where you're going in the body of your op-ed.
