  • Examples Of Ethos In Obama's Second Inaugural Address

    672 Words  | 3 Pages

    As he passionately addresses the need for unity, he explains how “the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias” (Obama). The logical parallels he draws between the demands of the modern world and those of war emphasize that only through collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility can the goals of the nation be achieved. This is demonstrated further when Obama uses logos to emphasize the necessity of a united America and the importance of collective action to progress as a society. Through praising the achievements of Americans, he explains that “together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools and colleges to train our workers” and that “together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune” (Obama). By highlighting past achievements and societal goals, Obama creates logical arguments for the practical and tangible benefits of working together.
