1. The purpose of the coaches speech is to bring the team back together. A fight occurred between two of the players a few days before the motivational speech. The players sided with one of the two players that had fought. The separation was evident after a few practices, because players on one side wouldn't cooperate with players on the other side.

2. The coaches team was the audience

3. The coach brought the players to a civil war battle field and compared the soldiers to his own team. He appealed to the players **ethos** when describing the fight and sacrifices made the team of soldiers. He told how the soldiers united to defeat the enemy and how his own team must unit to defeat their opponent.

4. Yes! The coaches speech was very effective. He incorporated logical fallacies such as **Argument from Analogy** when comparing the soldiers to his team, and **Tu Quoque** when the coach said that you also must unit to achieve greatness.

5. The argument have been strengthened if the coach incorporated **Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc**into his speech.
 * Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc** would have addressed the issue directly. The coach would have appeared more stern and the players would probably have been scared

The purpose of this South Park skit is to make fun of the the "PC" and "Mac" users who argue over which computer is best. The video shows that the two virtually look and operate the same. The purpose is conveyed through the cartoonist matching characters who only have a few slight differences. The cartoons are different colors and the PC has glasses. The purpose is also conveyed from the last scene of the skit when both the MAC and PC shut down the same over an error. This skit is significant in our society because people argue over which product is better when everything is basically the same.
