Bryant supported and expanded upon Kenneth Burke's new rhetoric by stating his infamous definition of the function of rhetoric: ''adjusting ideas to people and people to ideas''. Bryant also supported the idea that the principles of classical rhetoric could still be applied to the modern and extensive forms of discourse today through a reinterpretation of Aristotle's Rhetoric. Bryant believed that Aristotle's Rhetoric had limitations that were historical rather than philosophical. Bryant objected to Aristotle's apparent failure to include exposition and persuasion within rhetoric, arguing that Aristotle's idea of demonstration implies perfect exposition for an inquiring audience. Also, Bryant argues that Aristotle's third category of his tripartite speeches, the deliberative speech, includes a persuasion-based system. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> </td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>Bryant elaborates on the theory that rhetoric can be distinguished as a four-tiered definition.  </div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>Bryant elaborates on the theory that rhetoric can be distinguished as a four-tiered definition.  </div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>-</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div> </div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">*</ins>Rhetoric as an instrumental discipline as it is concerned with the management of discourse in specific situations for practical purposes<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">. Whether it be the preacher, the journalist, the radio or television reporter, Bryant believed that they should not exploit their authoritative position by implying their opinion as fact by stating, "This is because," rather than "I believe so because..." Rhetoric is an instrumental tool as the rhetorician "must know the right question to ask and the bases for answering them with greatest probability for his audience now.
