First World War Speech Analysis

King values civil disobedience, which is the refusal to obey certain laws or governmental demands by nonviolent techniques as boycotting, picketing, and nonpayment of taxes, but the violence created from that is not his fault. Logic is key in this situation because its obvious you shouldn't punish someone who isn't being violent. Another example is, "We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal.” It was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany. But I am sure that if I had lived in Germany during that time I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. . . ."

One group that argues this is the American Civil Liberties Union, which strongly disagrees with the Patriot Act. They have stated that investigations into the Patriot Act, “reveal thousands of violations of law,” (ACLU), while this is simply not true. One controversial piece of the Patriot Act are roving wiretaps. These allow government investigators to follow and put surveillance on certain people, rather than certain devices, so that they may save time and effort. According to Nathan Sales, a law professor at George Mason University, “Federal courts agree that Title III’s roving wiretaps authority is constitutional and… provides strong support for constitutionality,” (Sales).

Adams greatly supported the fact that Washington wished to be the General of the Continental Army. Washington would defend Adams through a variety of letters and would often describe John as being high

For all we know we might have been looking up to a king if it was not for him. This goes to show many of the things he did in the past and the things he did that shaped today that he did not know of or even knew would still be around has had a shape on the United States. These millstones in his time have been tremendous accomplishments in our time. This giving us Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for years to come. All from the foundation he set for us while he was president.

The use of ethos and repetition instills a great sense of togetherness to show that the entire country should stand without division. He also repeats the word "here" throughout the speech to emphasize that this point in time has proven to be a crucial turning point in the Civil War. He uses "here" as a term to define the position of America rather than the physical location. Through repetition, Lincoln is able to create a speech that maintains cohesiveness. The Gettysburg Address has always been one of the most important speeches throughout history.

During the Colonial Period there were many complications involving the British rule and how much power the king should have since he was trying to rule from thousands of miles away. The king sent troops and placed taxes on common luxuries, but there was so much he could do before the people of the American colonies got angry and wanted to fight back. Two influential writings at that time were Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and Patrick Henry’s speech “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” . They both encourage the colonists to join the revolutionary cause by using rhetoric. Both works are well know

During the beginning of the new country known as America. Many of our founding presidents who helped build our country and set many precedents for following presidents to follow. Which include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe’s leadership on political policies created and strengthened the still growing nation. George Washington’s presidency had a great effect on the future government, as well as on America’s actions at the time. He made some great decisions.

Alger Hiss had been accused of being a part of the Russian spy ring, but had friends such as Dean Acheson who said he could completely vouch for Hisss’ innocence. After The FBI had done nothing with the accusation, the Un-American Activities Committee had found proof that he was a spy after President Truman had told them to stop. Truman called this incident a red herring. Hiss will become a convicted spy during the Russo-German alliance pact giving McCarthy all he needed to influence the American people through fear of infiltration. Hiss had decided a number of postwar peace settlements at the Yalta Conference like the American settlement in Berlin with Stalin controlling all around it resulting in the Berlin

I 'd like to add the fact that the definition of what we refer to as our freedom of speech wasn 't clearly specified at that time. This allowed federalists wiggle room to twist the meaning in their favor and create a debate against the democratic-republicans. The definition came under great scrutiny from the federalists with them claiming that they should be able to protect themselves from false or malicious words. Fortunately, in the long term Thomas Jefferson was elected president and in his inaugural speech gave Americans a definition that supported their right to think and write without

Thomas Nagel brings up the point that many people have an “natural conception of the distinction between fighting clean and fighting dirty” (Nagel 125). This distinction extends to war as well. It is intuitive that during wartime, warring parties should not be able to go to extreme lengths to further their cause. Though morality does shift during wartime, there are certain boundaries that cannot be crossed by the groups at war. What exactly these boundaries are, and how to enforce them, is a source of controversy.

(169) This text illustrates one of the actions the king has taken without consulting anyone. It fundamental because, it comes to affirm the abuse of power the king had taken. "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury" (169) Jefferson reveals another action taken by the king as he takes advantage

Some states created groups that encouraged patriotism to encourage the U.S soldiers fighting against communism in Korea and had began challenging the separation of church and state. Engle v. Vitale was a landmark Supreme Court case because it showed how religion could not be enforced in schools and how 1st Amendment rights could not be taken away. In 1951 the New York board of education approved a prayer that was recited every morning in New York’s public schools.

There are two major roles the Code Talkers in World War II had to fulfill. First, some of the Code talkers had to develop the code. This is shown when the text states, “ Nez's platoon was tasked with developing a code, based on the then-unwritten Navajo language.” This meant that the 29 Navajo speaking Code Talkers had to make their own code, that no one has ever seen before. Also, these Code Talkers were tasked with making their own alphabet, so they could base the codes off it.

FDR’s speech affected many people in several different ways. People in the American military may see this speech as endearing and inspirational because of the struggles they faced directly at the hands of the Japanese. Those of Japanese descent living in the United States might have felt either shame or great honor in the speech. It all depends on how loyal they were to Japan or the US. People in Hawaii may have felt scared that Japan attacked on their home land, but empowered by the speech because of how FDR said that “....this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.”
