Walter Lippmann's The Indispensable Opposition

When we want a listener to understand an essential point we are making we tend to repeat ourselves many times. As Weisel repeats, “But this time the world was not silent. This time, we do respond. This time, we intervene” the expression of pathos is being used (3). His repetition is showing his passion for what is being said and, the desire he holds that this time society and politicians will be different and not repeat what was done before.

Another example of syntax would be the last paragraph, which is one long sentence. This last statement is put in one sentence to show the passion in Lincoln, but also the hope he has for America in its healing process. This statement can’t be split, it must stand together or it will lose its value. The togetherness of the structure then gives the audience a lasting and energized effect. Lincoln says what he says in a purposeful manner to demonstrate he cares and wants America to the best it can

By using powerful words, the audience will understand the importance of America needing to make changes and will listen to Clinton about what would happen if America does not make changes and faces dull consequences. Without the use of these powerful words, the speech would lose its importance, and the audience would not take this speech seriously. Therefore, powerful diction is an essential key to any speech or writings because it strengthens one’s ideas and arguments, and Clinton’s selection of words shows that the conflicts are important, and it is urgent that America needs to make a change. Clinton’s use of allusions and strong diction are essential parts of his speech, and it would deliver a different message without those rhetorical devices. His use of these devices conveys the urgency of making a change to make America a better nation, and it also shows him as a powerful

The last way Orwell works to prove his argument to the reader is by using an anaphora in his article. Anaphoras work to add emphasis to a specific element in a writing. Adding emphasis to something makes it stick with the reader and helps them better understand the author 's point. Orwell uses an anaphor towards the end of the article when he writes, “The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life”. Here Orwell is repeating the phrase, “that one” at the beginning of each clause.

Humility makes people go from important to memorable. In order to have humility, you have to be able to put aside the views of society, you have to be able to forget about the risks, you have to be able to do what is right. When people think of humility, they often get confused with humiliation. Humiliation is being dishonored; Humility is the act of being humble. Criss Jami, an author and philosopher, on humility once said, “The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.”

The freedom of speech is one of the most important rights an individual has. The freedom of speech gives us the right to share our opinions and thoughts without the fear of being retaliated against and oppressed. Lately this freedom of speech seems to be greatly limited. It is seen as a verbal attack now if you say something that may go against popular opinion or may offend someone. This subject is tackled in John Stossel's "Censored in America" Fox News hour.

McCullough’s compelling speech, “You Are Not Special”, grabs the listener's attention through the devices he uses to further progress his main point in his speech that you shouldn’t try to be special or different for the recognition or praise of others, but for your own rewarding gratification. McCullough discusses the motif of similarity and notability, but then begins to overturn this towards the end of his speech and say how no one is solely special, but that everyone is special. McCullough addresses his purpose by using powerful symbolism, descriptive logos and a delayed sentence. Many devices have contributed to McCullough’s main point that no one is special, and he elaborates on this by saying high schoolers have been coddled their

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be,” Kurt Vonnegut Jr. once said. Considering his work, Harrison Bergeron, that seems to be true, a world that worries about equality, generally a good thing, but leads to totalitarianism. Vonnegut criticizes a political issue, the involvement of the state in the lives of individuals and the challenges of changing modern society we face. The author uses his short story to teach a lesson, but a lesson the reader has to conclude for himself. Vonnegut clearly shows the intention of educating his reader, giving him a chance to draw his own conclusion instead of presenting him with a preconceived solution.

King shows his message by recommending, “We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.” Additionally, he believed that one should not exhaust their efforts on violence. King also made clear that it may take some time to gain equality; however, they need to stay strong as stated in the his speech, “No, no we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.” King’s speech affected his audience greatly by showing off his ardor and ability to relate to others.

These actions show that King spends crafting his words with precision for maximum impact, while Johnson prefers to speak off the cuff after assessing the emotional climate of the specific situation. Johnson can transform himself to fit the setting, but King is unable to be anything other than who he

Lincoln 's main rhetorical appeal was the use of emotional language in using word such as dearm , best , last , and hope. Using these words to show how american needs to get back to it roots of why it was formed. To be a safe haven for people who are being persecuted not to persecute people because their look or act different from us. This also appeals you your ethos because irtt saying America’s not where it should be how can you help get it their. I agree at with this quote that at that point in time , but that were better now.

In words of strengths, the speech displayed the level of certitude vital in fight rhetoric. Seizing a state to fight and such a decision demands certainty, and the Head clarified such certainty across his address. The speech itself is maximum of strongly-worded, mainly unsupported assertions. As claims are usually reinforced by upholding facts, fight rhetoric could clarify that this is not always the case. Indeed, Shrub might have gone to outstanding lengths in his address to recount the facts opposing Hussein.

Furthermore, crisis requires people to confront their emotions, consequently letting individuals speak things that otherwise would not be spoken. The true character of people can be established. Possible the most substantial reason however, is that it challenges humans to focus on what is important. Trivial problems seem insignificant

Wallace Matson was a professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley, and wrote the article “Zombies Begone! Against Chalmers’ Mind/Brain Dualism” to convince readers that Chalmers argument for dualism is foundationally flawed. Matson describes Chalmers to be a metaphysical revisionist, or someone who draws conclusions off a single alleged truth, which in this case that zombies are logically possible. Matson completes his destruction of Chalmers claim by first providing a history of logical possibility and possible worlds and proving that these conceptions are descendants of Medieval theological ideas and not axiomatic truths. He then considers logical possibility without theology or God, which results in only one truth: that anything cannot both be
