I've been sitting here reading a Construction Industry Annual Financial Survey for another class of mine and i'm convinced that rhetoric is reserved  for situations where the "author" wants to create a sense of superiority. Of the 3 sections of the survey i have to read only one is in "la men's terms" and it is the Executive Summary, the rest of the document is technical jargon and, sophisticated sentence structures and terminology.

Rhetoric, at least to me, has always been shown in a negative light and i think it is mostly because the use of it almost comes across as a way of establishing superiority over the reader/listener. None the less, i do believe that rhetoric is an effective tool for communication as thus has its place in our speech and writing.
