Rhetorical Analysis Of Speaker's Views

Adding to appeals to ethos, the speaker tries to build his credibility by the end of his speech. He explains that we should think about the revolution in the education system because we just examine students from their academic abilities. Thus, he states, “We should radically rethink our view of intelligence”. Basically, he means our view of intelligence should be reviewed as there are different types of intelligence and everyone has different than others, so we should suggest students to pursue career accordingly. He further explains the characteristics of intelligence, “intelligence is diverse, dynamic and distinct”. It is diverse because everyone thought and visualized the world in different way. Also, he gives the example of his and his
wife while cooking both act differently. This acting different in the same situation makes the intelligence dynamic. He narrates the story of the British choreographer Gillian Lynne, who was not at good school, was not hopeless about her condition. When she went to the specialist, there it was discovered that she is not sick; she is a dancer. Rather than putting on medication, the specialist suggested her mother enroll her in dancing school. There she became a choreographer. This shows that every student has distinct intelligence. by the end, he convinced the audience it’s time to rethink our concepts of human capacities which have different intelligence.
