Animal cruelty is a felony is some jurisdictions. It's not a matter of political correctness, it's just simple human decency to the creatures of this world. I beg you, please take your dog to the local animal shelter where it will receive much more decent care than you're capable of giving it.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF William Robert Holderness for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Political Science and Speech Communication presented on June 8, 2010. Title: Why We Worship the Economy: A Burkean Analysis of South Park‘s ―Margaritaville‖ Abstract approved: _________________________________________________ Robert S. Iltis The television show South Park, created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, is viewed by millions of people each week, regularly addresses a number of controversial issues and plays a major role in contemporary popular culture. Current academic research acknowledges Parker and Stone‘s willingness to attack the dominant views surrounding a number of political and social issues. This research also identifies a number of rhetorical devices used in making these attacks. This thesis attempts to reconcile these rhetorical devices with the use of incongruity. Through an interdisciplinary approach to theories on decision making and through applying Burke‘s concepts of perspective by incongruity, master tropes and frames of acceptance and rejection, this thesis analyzes the South Park episode ―Margaritaville.‖ The question that is the focus of this thesis is: How does ―Margaritaville‖ use planned incongruity to reframe dominant discussions concerning the United States financial crisis? The findings of this study indicate that through the use of Burke‘s master tropes and frames of acceptance and rejection ―Margaritaville‖ both identifies and questions the American public‘s tendency to view the economy as they would a deity. This thesis determines that the episode ―Margaritaville‖ has a positive effect on its ideal audience. Furthermore, this study demonstrates both the importance of developing an interdisciplinary theory of human decision-making and notes the utility of using a similar Burkean analysis to examine primetime, adult-oriented cartoons.

First of all, I am very grateful to Professor Ute Smit for choosing to mentor a topic that is not entirely in her line of research interest. Her supervision and advice were invaluable. She helped me shape the topic and gave me very insightful comments that, hopefully, made this thesis better in quality. Thank you! I am also very grateful to the participants of my study, for taking the time to watch the videos and talk to me about them and for letting me record them. This study would not exist without them. Moreover, I want to thank Petar, for the past seven years, for bringing me to Vienna and for everything. Last but not least, a very special thanks goes to my family, for their endless support and love, for believing in me and helping me in more ways than they can even imagine.
