FBI is a very serious and authoritative institution in my impression. In this tweet, first of all, it said “according to FBI’s annual crime statistics report “. This is an authoritative report as we all know. at least they do some researcher toward it.  they tell people he can be trusted. It shows its ethos and provides a good base to make and support a statement further. Then it comes to the fact that a violent crime occurred every 26.3 seconds. to help these statistics report more accurately. They encourage people to involve in it.

We are living in the age of fast change. Rapid development will cause many social problems such as pollution problems, energy shortages, insufficient labor force. So what can we do to adopt an accelerated change environment?  According to Scopelliti(2018) In order to adapt to the problems caused by social development, the fourth industrial revolution is underway. “The convergence of demographically fuelled behavioral change associated with the Millennial demographic and emerging technologies associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolutionary affecting every industry and every part of our global economy. “(9). Looking back on the history of human development, whenever society develops to a certain stage, there is an industrial revolution. The fourth industrial revolution is based on the emergence of cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems combine the digital technology of communication with software, sensors and nanotechnology. At the same time, the fusion of biology, physics and digital technology will change the world as we know it today.

In the response of step 2, Jie Shi said, make sure some groups or targets as our audience, for example, women issues are more acceptable by women. I very agree with that. In my response, I also have a similar idea of finding common with your audience.  But, we still have a difference in this topic. She said using humor for respecting your audience but I am in favor of the opinion that humor makes my audience and me closer and makes them relaxed.

As she said, ethos can affect our judgment of what he says or what he writes. I totally agree with that.

Meaning of Name Assignment

My parents gave me the name when I was born, Zhiheng Wang(王志恒). In China,  We put the last name in front of the first name. So, let me start with my last name. Wang is a very ancient name and Wang surname is one of the top ten Chinese surnames in the world. Zhiheng comes from two Chinese characters Zhi and Heng. Zhi means ambitious and Heng means concentrated. I’m the youngest child in my family, so my family has great expectations one me. That’s my name came from.

In middle school, my teacher recognized my name as 桓 instead of 恒, which causes the laugh of the whole class.

When I’m in the US, I realized my name is not easy to pronounce. And my oral English teacher in China gave every student an English name to call us. At first, I got the name Christopher, but I didn’t remember how to spell it. So I just write Chris. My tutor told me it is the same as Christopher.
