For a very long time, the voting rights of the citizens have been a problem in the US. It started out with only men with land being able to vote, and then expanded to white men, and then to all men. However, women were never in the situation, they were disregarded and believed to not be worthy enough to have the same rights as men. They were essentially being treated as property, therefore having no rights. But, in Susan B. Anthony’s speech, she hits upon the point that women are just as righteous as men. Susan B. Anthony was an American social reformer and women 's rights activist, and in 1872 was arrested because she tried to vote and express her opinion in the presidential election. However, her decision was reasonable and she should not

In Barbara Bush’s speech at the Wellesley college commencement in 1990. I believe that her main ideas are to remind the students that success is not defined by social expectations by unique personal goals when listening to her speech!

Margaret Thatcher, the British Prime Minister at the time, gave a eulogy to the grieving American people in honor of the late Ronald Reagan on June 11th, 2004. In her speech, Thatcher used rhetorical techniques to show the strength and principles of Reagan and project those values onto the American people.

Logos is the most used appeal in this speech. It appeals the audience through logic in order to show that an argument has a solid basis and is reasonable. Clinton's use of logos in her speech helps the audience understand that she is not dealing with a lofty ideal that is almost impossible to achieve. The logic involved in her speech makes the audience realize that the solution to the issue she is discussing is easily attainable. Clinton's first use of logos occurs in paragraph three, where she describes what happened when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted. She states how “48 nations voted in favor; eight abstained; none dissented” (par. 3 line 3) In this paragraph she also puts forth the argument that “because we are human,
Presidential candidates should answer how they truly feel and what they know about a topic instead of dodging or attacking the question like an ex-girlfriend.

In the end, everyone can see right through her answers. All that people have to do is pay attention to how she answered these questions and they would be able to understand they are
For a long time, women have been treated badly by the society that they live in. They have been killed because of dowry, they have been suffering from rape, and they haven’t been treated equal as men.

Therefore, Hillary Clinton was supporting women’s right in her speech, “Women’s right are Human rights” by talking about how women do not have equal rights as men, and how they have to go through tough situations. She also mentions that women’s rights should be equal to Human rights. This speech was given at the United Nations Fourth Conference of Women on September
