Funny things, Propaganda.. message, Points to ponder, Political marketing through text.

Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words).

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism.

·       ‘As long as the acquisition of knowledge is rendered habitually repugnant, so long will there be a prevailing tendency among young to discontinue it when free from the coercion of parents and teachers.’    

Funny things happen

·        Ignorance is really blessing, since I heard that the logic of explanation contributes to the critical component of writing funny things started to happen. I always in explaining the relevance of evidence to my argument explain away its irrelevancy.   

Propaganda is message but no message is propaganda

Subtle fallacy

·        ‘Critical reasoning and contextual comprehension are required to determine whether a message is propaganda or not; if it is true, and it is, then critical reasoning and contextual comprehension must not be required to determine whether a propaganda is message or not.’

Every propaganda is message but no message is propaganda as message by definition is to be impartial presentation of all angles; but propaganda by definition is partial as it has imbalanced presentation of aspects or it covers some aspects in part and some comprehensively or only some aspects.  

Points to ponder

·       It is said and believed that people are susceptible to filmed representations of behavior. There may not be a single individual becoming noble because of watching his hero doing noble things; however almost everyone is highly imitative of much loathed villain. The love of everyone to be the Prince of darkness than to be the Prophet of a day speaks of our vulnerability to evil not our susceptibility to filmed representations. Perhaps we are susceptible to much easier things.

·       It is widely believed that students demonstrate their command of words by meeting the sentence completion task in which they fill blank with appropriate words. Knowing words is different from understanding word, students must be judged for cultural and linguistic understanding that expresses itself in the application of philosophical arguments in filling logical space on which arguments of passage implicitly depend.      

Political marketing through text

·       Political marketing consultant explains the contribution of ‘So Obvious Evidences’ to his main thesis that explanations feel like duplications and then place (sandwich) irrelevant evidence with no explanation, encouraging readers to work out the relevance themselves.

·      If political marketing consultant finds lines of argument running through from the introduction to the conclusion too perfect, he having done re-ordering of paragraphs within the overall structure reproduces them so that he can mislead readers through the thread of argument to a conclusion that consequently appears unsupported.
