TA: More practice

Another random enthymeme practice
WATCO the ability to ‘chat’ on the internet on a college student’s social capital?
Enthymeme: The ability to chat on the internet reduces the value of a college student’s social capital because chatting on the internet reduces the amount of face-to-face time with friends and makes relationships more impersonal.
Implicit Assumption: Anything that reduces the amount of face-to-face time with friends and makes relationships more impersonal will reduce the value of a college student’s social capital.
Intended Audience: Students who spend more time talking to people on the internet, whether through games or a chat engine, than in real life.

WATCO listening to angry music while in a negative mood on a teenager’s ability to handle his or her emotions.
Enthymeme: Listening to angry music while in a negative mood will help teenagers handle their emotions in a more positive way because listening to angry music will help teenagers work through the anger process faster.
Implicit Assumption: Anything that helps teenagers work through the anger process faster will help teenagers handle their emotions in a more positive way.
Intended Audience: Parents or guardians of teenagers that don’t approve of the music their teenagers are listening to.
