Which of the five broad definitions of public opinion involves "rhetorical construction"?

Business
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Fiction

Explanation: According to some theorists, public opinion is a rhetorical construction. This means that it is a phantom, having no real link to "the public" as citizens. These theorists go on to claim that politicians and journalists tend to state that public opinion regarding a certain issue is concluded without any available evidence, or public's influence. However this is only one form of the definition of public opinion.

Other types of definitions include:

Public opinion is an aggregation: Journalists and politicians claim public opinion is the total of a lot of individual opinions.

Public opinion reflects the majority's beliefs: Theorists claim that public opinion is the equivalent of the values and beliefs of the majority.

Public opinion is discovered in groups clashing: Some theorists believe public opinion lies in power dynamics within a group, and how it coexists, or fails to do so, with other groups.

Public opinion reflects media: Theorists believe that public opinion is best gathered from what politicians, journalists and other influential elites believe.

Joan, is a jewelry designer who had created a unique new jewelry piece called a neacklet. It can be either a necklace or a brace
patriot [66]

Answer and explanation:

In Joan's case, a general partnership will provide her control over her business that will be shared with the older gentleman who owns a jewelry store. Profits would be distributed evenly regardless of the contribution of each partner in the business. However, the older gentleman has offered Joan the chance of purchasing his share later on which would provide her the total control of the business and the patent of her creation.

The other option Joan has available is purchasing a franchise. This will allow Joan to avoid the initial costs of introducing her products to the market and the risks of not having enough consumers since her brand name is new. Though she will lose access to the patent of her creation and periodically Joan will need to pay NewJewelry a fee for using its name.

Therefore, <em>as Joan prefers to have control over her designs, it would be more convenient for her to choose the general partnership.</em>
