The Rhetoric of Contemporary Activism involves social movements, political cultures, and even small groups of activists exhibit rhetorical commonalities. The ten Contemporary Activisms include: anti-authoritarian, diversity, multi-historical, idealistic and prefigurative, anti-representational, visionary, symbolically powerful, and self righteous and self critical. The rhetorical gap means to make adjustments. That way, the audience can quickly glean and understand the information in addition to taking responsibility and reflecting on continuous observations. The network of rhetoric is basically a wheel of influence that warrants extended discussions. This includes public movements or networking through publications and social networking sites. A new form of activism includes expressing your desires and successfully activating them through social networking sites. A personal example could be thinking of a business that could be beneficial to self and others within the community. Then, creating a website and publications to further explain the mission and promote the business.
Five examples of Neo Radicalism involves creating a proposal. The conditions however are anti-authoritarian activism, activists communication, communication and reality, western philosophy, and visionary. I personally adapt to visionary for references of having a vision and being motivated to create it.
Hey raven. Good post you found ways to connect all the responses to our requirements within one another. I agree I think you are a leader by the way that you act and your personality, so visionary fits well with you. Not many people are leaders, I know that personally I do not consider myself one, but it's good that you have that much confidence in yourself :)
