Topic Expertise

Information concerning expertise in other areas (such as economics or the social sector) is unavailable.

1 Speeches Analyzed
Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is a blend of formal (citing the law) and emotional/dramatic tones. Hyperbole and exaggerated concern ("fear," "call an ambulance") are employed to emphasize the necessity of taking a break and checking on the colleague's status. The appeal is emotional rather than logical.
