The relationship of interest could be either a D relationship or an R relationship‚ so this might involve making a bar graph and computing D or making a line graph

1. In the essay “Sweatshirts to Sweatshops‚” many of the universal intellectual standards are violated. To begin with‚ the speaker talks about the “little girl…working hour after hour…trying not to collapse from the heat…” and that violates the fairness of the argument. He is trying to manipulate the audience by appealing to their emotional side. This argument is not based in factual evidence‚ and therefore‚ could be dismissed by the audience. There may not be a little girl in this exact situation
