Suggested Reading

The play Madea, in my opinion, would be a good piece of literature to read. It can be tied to Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. The story if a of a woman who was betrayed and seeks revenge. Madea is powerful play that can be easily used to discuss and analyze. I you haven't read it, or seen it. A woman is betrayed by her husband and goes to drastic measures to make him feel the pain he caused her. She kills her husband's new wife and even his own sons. It is a twisted tale and that can easily hook these short attention span college students.

Great Invention

The creation of the light bulb has paved the way for the our civilization today. We now meet at night which can be nearly turned into day. We now use light to our amusement in laptops, at concerts, in the medical field, and much more. In 1874, Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans patented the first electric light bulb after successfully testing it in Toronto. Afterwards, they sold the patent to Thomas Edison. Not the smartest move. From there, Edison searched for a way to build a practical light bulb. Using carbonized bamboo filament, Edison's light bulb could last 1200 hours. Although much of the world lacks electricity, this technology has contributed to the development of the world. Whether it is lighting a room for surgery or lighting a room full of world political leaders, this invention has left a permanent print on the development of mankind.

Dumbest Invention

Cry No More US Patent Issued 2000

Many people become irritated by the sound of baby crying. Parents can sometimes we embarrassed in church, the movies or at a restaurant. With this in mind, an inventor created the Cry No More. This device puts a pacifier in the baby's mouth with straps that constrain it there so the baby cannot open its mouth to cry.

This invention is dumb for many reasons. One is the immoral aspect of this device. If a person can't deal with the sound of a baby crying, then don't have one. If it is at a restaurant or some other public facility, then don't bring; call a babysitter. Also, by not allowing a child to cry and express its needs, it can become hungry or sick. Crying is natural for a baby and to interfere with nature, in my opinion, is not right.
