Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on a broad standardization. The morbidly hilarious article Can’t We All Just Stop Thinking About Children by David Puberty, published in The Punch, tends to put forward the argument that the contemporary parents and statutory agencies are way too much concerned about the issues associated with children, who are going by the current times marked by excessive stress and shortage of time, should be dedicating their intelligence to more practical matters (Puberty 2012). Though there is no denying the fact that David Puberty intended the article to be humorous if one also tends to take into consideration the sources in which it got published, the irony is that not only this article comes about as being a wee bit spooky and disturbing, but the writer also resorts to a plethora of rhetorical devices and logical fallacies to accrue interest and support from the readers. The reality is that going by the ever-increasing information being churned out by the scientific research and development regarding child health and safety, the public concern for child safety is justified, and the arguments being put forward by the writer in the article under consideration come out more as being argumentatively flawed, facile and somewhat in bad taste (Halpern 2003). &nbsp.

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. To counter the fallacy inherent in the article, it is imperative to dissect this article’s structure in a critical, systematic, and analytical manner (Weil & Anderson 2000). First and foremost, Puberty tends to solicit reader approval by resorting to the usage of force. On the surface, this premise may appear to be flimsy. However, if one unravels the psychological stratagem resorted to by the writer, it readily becomes apparent that this article’s essential appeal is based on the use of force (Grant 1988). What the writer has done is that he has created a psychological vantage point as per which he projects himself as an authority on reason by using a powerful language and has degraded the concern about child issues to the fact that anybody evincing such a situation stands to be taken for a fool.
