I have a question about the UR Riddle letter. Why did the professor have to lean one way or the other in his letter? Why couldn't he present the facts explicitly and not frame or emphasize certain points? Why did he have to choose a side? He could have just stated his observations and opinions of Riddle and left it up to the bank to decide which decision was best.
Also, the rhetoric of clothing and other consumer items is clearly visible around campus. Whether it be wearing Polo, The North Face, or talking a certain way, we all send out symbols and messages about who we are, or who we think we are.
My only other question is about what the Indian villagers see in commercials for soap and shampoo. They repeatedly reference noticing motorbikes in these commercials and I just don't understand why there are motorbikes in commercials for soap and shampoo. Maybe when the villagers see motorbike commercials they only notice the soap and shampoo in the background.
