Rhetorical Situations & Their Constituents Question 1

rhetorical situation refers to any set of circumstances that involves at least one person using some sort of communication to modify the perspective of at least one other person. I would agree with that there are 3 major components of  rhetorical situation exigence, audience and constraints. Exigence refers to the reason why we perceive a need to speak out on an issue or situation. Audience refers to  those with an interest and ability to to react to exigence. Constrains refer to  limitations and opportunities for what can be said and how advocates and audiences shift back and forth. These component control how and what can be said in the rhetorical situation.  There are  Examples of rhetorical situation everywhere from Martin Luther King’s I have a dream Speech to students writing a research paper
