The book is a rhetorical analysis of the policies and procedures that govern life in contemporary American high schools; it also discusses the rhetorical effects of high-security, high-surveillance school buildings. It uncovers various metaphors that emerge from a close reading of the system, such as students' claims that \"school is a prison.\" Jennifer Young concludes that many of the policies governing contemporary American high schools have come to rhetorically operate as a \"discourse of default\" that works against the highest aims of education, and she offers a method of effecting a cultural shift for going forward. Specifically, Young calls for an explicit application of intentional rhetoric to match discourse to audience and suggests that the development of empathy as a core value within the high school might be more effective in keeping students safe than the architectural and technological approaches we currently employ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498555993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498555999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Jennifer Young","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47072123650303,"sku":"9781498555999","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74b0f116-e291-49c0-acd4-1b4c51889f6c.jpg?v=1753415852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rhetoric-embodiment-and-the-ethos-jennifer-young-9781498555999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
