Essentially, without adapting, the international community is condemning itself to commit the same mistakes over and over again. Hinsley's argument is clearly in opposition of how many of us have been trained to think based on the continuation of the very strategies that Hensley is criticizing in 1967. Many might believe this to be too harsh of a criticism, as his argument is basically asking the international community to completely revamp their diplomatic policies that guide peace proposals and peace strategies. However, this is just a piece of the larger argument that Hinsely is making which is actually quite cohesive and tied to actual historical research and examples. The first chapters are very blunt, yet the second half of the work focuses on ways to readjust such failed policies structures, showing the capacity for Hinsely not only to criticize but to offer alternatives that might bring about greater chance for peace in the future. Hinsley tries to bring greater awareness to the absurdity of international policies and strategies. He attempts to place more empirical regulations and foundations within the study of international policy. Greater knowledge, Hinsely believes, may open up a broader attitude that will look past the strategies that are so limited by seemingly unsolvable power divides. This is an impressive element of his larger thesis,...

The flow of his argument opens with his underlying thesis, and then moves to present numerous historical examples. These examples are constructed in chronological order, allowing the reader to clearly see the pattern of peace strategies and how even the most modern implementations of peace proposals still clearly show direct influence from long outdated strategies going as far back as the medieval times. Hinsley takes a very logical approach to the construction of his argument. It is obvious it was well thought out and organized. His arguments are executed very well, as he presents well thought out and researched evidence to support his underlying claims. Intense rhetorical skill weaved into the larger framework of the politically driven model. The entire book deals with a very sensitive and controversial subject, yet it is written in a very professional style. Thus it allows even oppositional readers to have to admit to the reasonability of some of the major themes within Hinsely's underlying argument. This structure helps augment the detailed historical analysis that is based on a very thorough and in-depth understanding of actual policies and proposal structures within both the past and the more modern context.

Richard Estrada: A rhetorical analysis of "Sticks and stones and sports teams" Richard Estrada's article "Sticks and stones and sports teams" tackles the issue of professional sports teams with potentially inflammatory names like the Washington Redskins and the Atlanta Braves.

At one point he makes a very effective and impressive use of logos when he appeals to logic with statements like: "The content of the doctrine is: "Yes, in the past we did some wrong things because of innocence or inadvertence. But now that's all over, so let's
