00:00 - 00:03
This is my presentation on the use of
00:03 - 00:07
the rhetorical triangle as a vehicle for dramaturgical realizing
00:08 - 00:12
scientific ideas of Deborah's Aurel offers play informed consent.
00:13 - 00:20
Um, goal of my presentation is to convey the key scientific ideas of the play.
00:21 - 00:24
We'll also addressing Law offers use of a very
00:24 - 00:29
prominent literary device as a vehicle for communicating uh,
00:29 - 00:30
set ideas.
00:31 - 00:36
Um, I'd like to begin my presentation with a quote from informed consent
00:37 - 00:42
On page 48, 1 of the characters says, quote unquote, they are telling the story,
00:42 - 00:44
the story of what it means to be alive.
00:44 - 00:47
The reason I wanted to begin my presentation
00:48 - 00:53
with this quote was because so much of how a story is told
00:53 - 00:58
in theater and literature depends on the literary devices a playwright
00:59 - 01:00
and we're author chooses to employ,
01:01 - 01:05
thus seeing as this place. So focus on science, I feel. So I'd be remiss
01:06 - 01:08
not to mention the rhetorical triangle and how
01:08 - 01:11
law for wields it to convey the scientific ideas
01:12 - 01:14
of this play. Um,
01:15 - 01:19
so what is the rhetorical triangle? Rhetorical triangle as a literary device?
01:19 - 01:21
It was originally credited to Aristotle
01:22 - 01:26
And it is composed of three core elements ethos. Pathos and logos.
01:27 - 01:29
Um, throughout important consent,
01:29 - 01:31
the elements of the rhetorical triangle manifest themselves
01:32 - 01:35
as a vehicle to convey the scientific ideas of the play.
01:36 - 01:40
Um briefly, I just like to define each of these elements.
01:40 - 01:44
So ethos is used to convince an audience
01:44 - 01:48
by appealing to knowledge strong moral character and ethics
01:48 - 01:50
pathos is used to get into an audience by
01:51 - 01:53
making appeals to emotion and logos is used to do
01:53 - 01:56
in an audience by making appeals to logical reason,
01:57 - 01:59
visually, the rhetorical triangle,
01:59 - 02:03
commune understood as an equilateral triangle with each of these three elements
02:03 - 02:07
uh at one of the corners of the triangle, respectively.
02:08 - 02:09
Um so
02:10 - 02:13
I'd like to have all of this discussion into and start
02:13 - 02:17
begin discussing what exactly are the scientific ideas of the play
02:18 - 02:20
and what is the role of
02:21 - 02:24
ethos, pathos and logos in developing these key ideas.
02:25 - 02:26
Um so
02:27 - 02:28
at the
02:28 - 02:34
center of this play, you have this this ongoing struggle between
02:35 - 02:36
the
02:36 - 02:43
possibility is afforded to us by genetic research and the ethical
02:43 - 02:46
and moral implications that are associated with
02:46 - 02:48
that from an informed consent standpoint.
02:49 - 02:50
Um
02:50 - 02:51
There's
02:52 - 02:53
mm
02:54 - 02:56
several, let's say actors,
02:56 - 03:03
uh no pun intended um on each side of this uh this struggle,
03:03 - 03:07
you have Gillian who's a huge proponent of genetic
03:07 - 03:10
research and the possibilities afforded to us through genetics.
03:10 - 03:12
All right, through studying genetics. Um
03:13 - 03:18
and by contrast on the other side, you have a rela can indian Hagen
03:19 - 03:21
prominently who are
03:22 - 03:24
huge advocates of informed consent.
03:25 - 03:26
And um
03:27 - 03:31
generally more opposed to some of Jillian's
03:31 - 03:35
research intentions um because of their commitment
03:35 - 03:39
to the ethics and morals that are associated with the idea of informed consent.
03:40 - 03:41
Um
03:41 - 03:45
interestingly enough, while you have this very explicit
03:45 - 03:46
um
03:47 - 03:50
kind of these very explicit like oppositional stances,
03:50 - 03:52
you can just read in the script of the play.
03:53 - 03:58
There's also this very interesting and more subtle interplay between
03:58 - 04:02
the elements of the rhetorical triangle as well going on.
04:02 - 04:04
So by nature of being a scientist,
04:05 - 04:08
how genetic anthropologists and a logician,
04:09 - 04:14
Gillian lenses are generally employs logos to present her stances
04:14 - 04:17
on some of the key scientific ideas of this play.
04:18 - 04:19
Wow.
04:19 - 04:20
Um
04:21 - 04:25
uh Dean Hagen, a rela and ken
04:26 - 04:35
generally employ ethos and pathos, specifically Dean Hagen uh is he uses ethos
04:35 - 04:40
more often while or Ellen can are generally employing pay those.
04:41 - 04:47
Um Now I won't go into all of the details of these quotes. However,
04:48 - 04:49
I believe that
04:49 - 04:53
by nature, Jillian's logical and reasonable um
04:54 - 04:56
approach to things.
04:56 - 05:03
We are able to best highlight the key scientific ideas of this play using
05:03 - 05:09
the quotes from her. My major takeaways and what I think is important to convey
05:09 - 05:11
um throughout this play
05:11 - 05:12
is that
05:13 - 05:18
uh genetic research is changing how we change disease. That's first and foremost.
05:19 - 05:21
Um Next genetics.
05:21 - 05:27
Uh the field of genetic research is developing an accelerating rate,
05:28 - 05:30
especially through genome sequencing.
05:30 - 05:33
Um it's becoming cheaper and it's becoming faster.
05:33 - 05:37
Um the next thing is that truly informed consent is the goal,
05:37 - 05:40
but it's not always necessarily feasible.
05:41 - 05:47
Um And finally, the scientific method requires that mistakes being made.
05:48 - 05:49
Now we learn from those mistakes
05:50 - 05:52
so that significant results can be achieved
05:53 - 05:54
um
05:54 - 06:00
with that, with those main scientific ideas of the play being outlined, I think that
06:01 - 06:07
opens opens us to a variety of potential dramaturgical
06:07 - 06:10
options that we could take to communicate these ideas.
06:10 - 06:10
However,
06:10 - 06:12
I think it's really important that each of
06:12 - 06:16
them gets addressed dramaturgical e and um,
06:16 - 06:18
that the audience has a clear sense
06:19 - 06:21
of both
06:21 - 06:22
what
06:22 - 06:26
what the possibilities of genetic research are as as well
06:26 - 06:32
as the ethical and moral moral implications of informed consent.
06:33 - 06:37
Um, with that being said, that is all I have for my presentation. Thank you.
