1) Address the following prompt in a formal outline. Identify a clear stance in your thesis statement based on the following prompt: Identify your stance on the great debate regarding whether rhetoric is, in fact, declining over time based on your knowledge of design theory. Pinpoint any loopholes in the theory claiming that rhetoric is declining with your knowledge of design in the modern world. If you believe that is declining, you would bring specific theories and examples. Provide research from a modern rhetoric and design theorist that backs your idea if you believe that rhetoric is not declining. Conclude by explaining whether the design theory of  a modern rhetoric and design theorist can be shown to improve modern business, industry, or technology. Utilize the term “architectonic” to support your example.Overall structure: a clear thesis statement identifying your stance on whether rhetoric is declining throughout time based on your research on rhetoric and design with at least three main points that you will focus on in each of the four to five body paragraphs in a chronological order of importance. In the first body paragraph give context about the debate among scholars. In the second and third body paragraphs, identify any similarities and loopholes in the theory claiming rhetoric is declining using a theorist on rhetoric and design to back your original claims. In the fourth and possibly fifth body paragraph, focus on the concept of “architectonic” to empower you to resolve the issue by explaining whether the design theory of modern rhetoric and design can be shown to effectively improve modern business, industry, or technology. The conclusion paragraph should explain how the illustrations proved your claims and reflect on your findings. It should explain how your research stands out.*The points in the outline that are in bold  in the outline are required for this outline.2) Complete the outline using the following format:Outline Format(Running head)                                                                                                                                  Header: Your Last Name pg.Your NameThe Professor’s nameClass and assignment05 Dec 2024
