‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Chris Auers arguement: We should always help others when they are in need because in order tosucceed, everyone needs help from other people. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

‍‍‍‍‍Th ‍‍‍‍‍is picture, shows one of the many sites around Haiti, where the United States has aided the country with food, water, and clothing after the disastrous earthquake destroyed so much of what they held close. This photograph supports that we should always help others when they are in need because in order to succeed, everyone needs help from other people. ‍‍‍‍I think that the author created this piece to help spread the word about what is happening down in Haiti.‍‍‍ I think he wanted us to know that even though it’s not affecting us directly, we still have the power to change lives. ‍‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ The societal context that influenced the creation of this piece is that natural disasters have a huge impact on the people that live there and we need to do everything we can to help them. The author used ethos in this picture by capturing the US troops in the picture. By showing us the troops, he showed that our country is helping Haiti and that we can make a difference. By taking a picture of the little boy receiving water from the troop, the author made us realize that there are thousands of homeless children in Haiti that have no clue where their next meal will come from. Logos was used in this picture by showing that something as simple as a bottle of water can save someone’s life.‍‍‍‍‍‍ Helping out doesn’t mean sending thousands of dollars over seas, helping out is being someone’s rock and giving them what you can. Whether it’s ten cents or ten dollars. ‍‍‍‍‍‍

‍‍‍‍‍‍The song **//__Waving Flag__//** was created for the sole purpose of spreading the word about what happened in Haiti. It constantly talks about how the courage to help comes from within. ‍‍No matter where you live, everyone needs a shoulder to lean on. ‍‍ The artists that gathered to make this song really wanted to capture the devastation that the earthquake caused the already struggling Haiti. The societal context that influenced this piece was also the natural disaster in Haiti. The author used ethos in this song because the authors of this song actually traveled down to Haiti and performed this song live for them. Pathos was used by putting sad pictures of kids starving and getting carried by American troops and doctors. The author used logos by proving that some of us are luckier than others. The people living in Haiti definitely didn’t deserve this and we need to do everything in our power to let them “see their flag rise again.” ‍‍‍‍‍‍

// When the devastating 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti on January 12, 2010 International Medical Corps was on the ground, providing emergency medical care and assistance in less than 24 hours. During the emergency response, International Medical Corps deployed more than 400 medical volunteers to provide lifesaving care to Haitians and support the ER and ICU at Port-au-Prince's General Hospital (HUEH). Since the earthquake, International Medical Corps has gone on to establish a network of primary health care clinics in and around the earthquake-affected areas and launched other programs in mental health, nutrition, child protection, early childhood development, water and sanitation, disaster risk reduction, emergency medicine development, and cholera prevention and response.International Medical Corps is also one of the main providers of cholera treatment and management in Haiti, bringing lifesaving and life-changing help to communities traumatized by this disease. In addition, we are also running disaster preparedness programs to prepare health care workers for future disasters and emergencies. //

When CNN came out with this article, it gave people an inside look at what actually happened the day of the earthquake. It showed people how fast we responded and how important our help was to the people in Haiti. The authors purpose for creating this piece was to inform all of us how much the United States helped out and how we are still working on making Haiti a better place. The societal contest that influenced the creation of this piece was the disaster in Haiti. The creator used ethos in this article by stating that we was from CNN, which one of the biggest reporting and broadcasting companies. Pathos was used by talking mostly about child protection and emergency medicine development. By doing this, we start thinking more about the kids and what they have to go through on a daily basis. The author used logos by stating facts about how quickly we responded and what we have specifically done to help them.
