My definition of rhetoric

My definition of rhetoric is the process of repeating of ones ideas, motives or concept to persuade someone. However when writing rhetoric it much be a more tailored and manicured process than most. When writing rhetoric one must keep in mind their purpose, audience, stance, medium, design and context. Revising all the aforementioned areas as the piece is progressed and needs it. For example, taking into mind the purpose and stance on a position. You must carefully consider the people, your audience, in which you're presenting this point to. Take the recent video done by John Oliver on the topic of Mental Health. One would try to improve care about the mentally disabled by first going to those of congress and trying their luck there. Thusly you wouldn't be aggressive and not sure in your stance and have your purpose being just about the mentally disabled. Rather, one would consider their purpose to encompass the way mentally disabled are handled and cared for and the facilities in which they're kept. Ones stance would have to be very committed and heartfelt but at the same time professional. All while keeping everything suited to who you're talking to, even if that means revising per each different audience.
