This chapter opens with three rhetorical situations that center on definitional issues: What is Alexa? What is a photograph? What defines social justice warrior (SJW)? Select one of these situations, and then address it, using the strategies either of formal definitions or of operational ones. For example, might a formal definition help to explain what products like Alexa or Homekit are? (You may have to do some quick research.) Would an operational definition work to explain or defend what SJWs allegedly do or don’t do?
In your discussion of the formal or operational definition of the term you chose, do your best to consider the ideas and questions found in Chapter 9. Aim for roughly 500 words, or 2 pages, for this assignment.
