Rhetoric and composition studies

Rhetoric and composition studies explore how language is used to communicate effectively and persuade audiences. Rhetoric focuses on the art of argument and how to convey ideas clearly and powerfully, while composition studies examine the process of writing, from planning and drafting to revising and editing. Together, they emphasize the importance of audience awareness, purpose, and context in both spoken and written communication. This field is essential for developing critical thinking, enhancing writing skills, and understanding how language shapes our interactions and influences society.
