Blog—Kairos

I went to the library to do this assignment and as I set there and looked through the newspapers, I came across an article about Bangladesh in The New York Times.  The other paper I grabbed was The Washington Post.  Both papers have the similar article about the border guards and a 2-day revolt. 

 

While both of these newspapers are relatively recent, The New York Times is more up to date.  Each article uses kairos, or a critical time.  It uses this by telling us when things happened and according to what chronological order.  The issue is pertinent because it deals with a serious issue and little needs to be addressed to establish the articles relevance.

 

Although both articles state different things, the articles seem to be consistent and do not need to use an opportune moment to “change the subject” and/or argue about a separate but related set of issues.
