...Does ideal speech ever really take place? Jürgen Habermas formulated a concept in his early works, which is known as the ideal speech situation. Ideal speech can be simply defined as idealised conditions of speech, which is speech that focuses on reasoning rather than persuasion. Habermas sets out four conditions that must be followed in order for ideal speech to be achieved. All participants must have equal opportunity to speak. They all must have the right to state, defend or question any factual or normative claim. Discussion must not be constrained by status differences. Finally, the members must only be motivated by the desire to reach an agreement on the truth (Stickle). The ideal speech situation does not and cannot take place because it is merely impossible for everyone to have equal opportunity to speak, there will always be participants with varying status and power and it is human nature for people to argue persuasively. It is because of these conditions that the ideal speech situation is not possible, although aspects of it are beneficial. Ideal speech cannot work in reality due to the fact that Habermas’ idea is based on perfect human traits such as equality and honesty, and in a case of discussion or argument these traits are not the priority of participants. The ideal speech situation focuses on quintessential speakers that are always faithful to their words. From a biblical point of view, no human can be always faithful, in the sense that it is impossible...

...During April 1861, the first month of the Civil War, Alfred M. Green gave a speech in Philadelphia. The goal was to persuade African Americans to prepare to enlist in the Army. He also used his platform to talk about the unfair ways the African Americans were being treated, not only in the South but also in the North. Green had to use a few different methods to persuade African Americans to enlist in the Army, while also speaking about the issues for which they had to deal. Green's main persuasive point is reminding his fellow African Americans what the United States was founded on “freedom, and of civil and religious toleration.”. By reminding his audience of the American ideology, Green hopes this convinces them of their need to go to war...

...29 January 2013 Group 3D Duane de Freitas Academic year 2012/2013 Academic English and Skills Semester 1, period 3 Regulations on food and beverage marketing to children Ieva Margevica 10360956 During the last twenty years marketing to children has become a vigorous tendency. As claimed by Schor (2004, p. 21), in 1980s companies used to spend 100 millions of dollars on marketing to kids. Whereas today, according to Eggerton (2007) in Linn’s and Novosat’s (2008, p. 134) research, this number has reached 15 billions of dollars, expended only on food and beverage marketing directed at youth. Additionally, in the last decades, as stated by de Onis, Blossni and Blogher (as cited in Carter, Petterson, Donovan, Ewing & Roberts, 2011), obesity and other health problem rates among kids have been rising along with the marketers’ attention to children. These simultaneously growing processes have led to the debates of marketers’ responsibility related to increasing rates of childhood obesity, diabetes and food preference distortion (Linn & Novosat, 2008, p. 134; Carter et al., 2011, p. 962; Boyland & Halford, in press, p. 1). As acknowledged by Carter’s et al. (2011, pp. 962-968) research, children are a vulnerable and easily persuadable group of society, which should be protected from marketing’s aspirations. In accordance with Boyland and Haford (in press, p. 2), the adopted regulations deviate between countries. With regard to previous studies about...
