incest?!

I read an article today dealing with a daughter and a father having a sexual relationship together. The father is 61 years of age while the daughter is in her late 30s and is married with 2 children already. Recently, the daughter and the father had a child together who is 9 months old. After they recently went public about their relationship, the court has banned them from having sex anymore (which i think is funny that the gov't can do that).

Right off the bat, you think to yourself these people are horrible people. You already place a stereotype on them saying no matter what there story is, these people are disgusting. When reading this article, I found the writer to say things to his audience that will spark some kind of emotion inside of them. The reporter focuses mainly on the "incest" part instead of the mental effects the child will have when it grows up. the reporter continues to talk, using forensic rhetoric, about what incest consists of and how this family is messed up. I read another article on this issue about how they are going to appear on 60 minutes tomorrow night. That article focused on what the mental effects the child will experience when it grows up and how family of the daughter (reminder: she has a husband and 2 children already), are handling this event. After comparing, you can realize the first article is trying to really get your emotions involved and are trying to get you angry inside. They had the same audience, but approached it differently to grab your attention.
