Abstract

What techniques do opinion columnists use to persuade us? This question is at the heart of Lauren Bayne’s rhetorical analysis of Tasha Kheiriddin’s National Post opinion piece: “We said we’d never forget the Holocaust, but Gen Z has nothing to remember.” Kheiridden argues that TikTok is undermining Gen Z’s understanding of the world, especially when it comes to historical issues like the Holocaust. As Lauren deftly points out, rather than persuading audiences who might disagree with her position, Kheiridden uses various rhetorical strategies to confirm and reinforce the opinions of her existing readers.
