KATZ's The Ethic of Expediency

This week for class we read a very long article on ethics to get us in a mindset to write our ethics paper. The article addresses rhetoric used in the holocaust. This specific article talks about the morals for governing people or Germany during the Nazi Party. The reason to read this paper was also to talk about technical writing and determine whether or not the article was a good piece of technical writing. It is basically a legal document to control people and okay it by using rhetoric. The  article which was very confusing at first turned out to be explaining how they could improve extermination vans at the time. I think it was a good piece of technical writing because I think when the author of the writing was writing it they had in mind that they wanted to change peoples minds about the process of changing these vans. I think it is good because they use rhetoric to dehumanize the people at the time. With that being said I think the article is really evil and terrible but it served it's point.
