...Abstract World War Two was a very calamitous aeon that infected the world and filled it with animosity and bigotry. Over 70 million soldiers and civilians were robbed of their souls in the never-ending battles and conflict.

...Introduction “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” (Roosevelt, p.1). This was the opening statement of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to the nation the day after Japan invaded American territory. Following the Pearl Harbor attacks, Roosevelt gave a powerful speech that was a call to arms and in his speech he expressed outrage towards Japan and confidence in the job of our armed forces. The speech was a request to declare war against Japan and to bring the United States into World War II. His use of rhetorical techniques effectively aided in grasping the attention of his audience and reminded the...

...The Great War was the worst of times but it would become the focus and inspiration for some of the greatest works of art. Wilfred Owens would use his experience on the battlefield to capture the purest, most untainted image of war in his literary work. His ability to let the moment speak for itself, letting the vivid imagery represent the war and not adding anything to change what happened, would be the catalyst for what makes Owens the greatest war poet. However, greatness always has a beginning, born on March 18, 1893 in Oswestry, England, Wilfred Owen would go on to be educated at Birkenhead institute and would enroll in the University of London. According to the encyclopedia of Britannica, “after an illness in 1913 he lived in France. He had already begun to write and, while working as a tutor near Bordeaux, was preparing a book of “Minor Poems—in Minor Keys—by a Minor”. In 1915 he would enlist in the British army to serve for his country of origin. The warfare of The Great War would swiftly affect the young soldier. Seeing the various methods of countries’ inhumane slaughter of others led to Owens choice to document the war and its effects. These experiences are forever etched in history because of his literary work that survived the Great War. Sadly his work is the only piece of him that survived as he would be killed...

...the Western Front Changes Hearts and Minds Stephen Crane’s “All Quiet on the Western Front” gives a new perspective into the real terror and dehumanizing violence of war and its impact on the soldiers who fought it. Instead of romanticizing and glorifying the war, the book gives an accurate description of war as soldiers experienced it allowing readers to be more adequately informed. It is a strong anti-war rhetoric due to its accurate depiction of the false romantic ideals, dehumanization of soldiers, and continual subjection to poor living conditions which often prevented soldiers from returning to live healthy lives after the war. During this period, many teachers and recruiters went to classrooms and painted a false romantic, patriotic, heroic picture of war, rallying young men to join the cause. Men who were able to fight faced ostracism and condemnation if they did not volunteer in the war...

...After the collapse of Jim Crow, especially seeing the great success experienced by some African Americans, we start to feel the system of racial caste is officially dead and buried. However, that is just an illusion. Behind the rhetoric of institutionalized equity, our criminal justice system is working as the new Jim Crow preventing blacks from participating in our electoral democracy. While Constitutional amendments guaranteed African Americans "equal protection of the laws" and the right to vote, through a web of laws, regulations, and informal rules, all of which are powerfully reinforced by social stigma, they are confined to the margins of mainstream society and denied access to the mainstream economy. During the Reconstruction Era, whites felt threatened and outraged as African Americans were exposed to more social and economic opportunities and started to obtain political power. To turn the table and regain all the black labors they had for free for centuries, southern states drastically increased the penalties for minor offenses. Southern conservatives founded Ku Klux Klan, which fought a terrorist campaign against Reconstruction governments and local leaders, complete with bombings, lynchings, and mob violence. I can never forget those horrible pictures in which some white onlookers were smiling or laughing with the blacks burning or hung on the tree in the background. How sick they had to be to enjoy watching another human being tortured and murdered? Reconstruction...

...of the US, she decided it was time the world knew of her the many trajectories she continued to face along with many other African Americans. On October 10, 1906, Terrell gave a speech titled, “ What it Mean to be Colored in the Capitol of the U.S.,” to the members of the United Woman’s club in Washington, D.C. This speech was very influential and significant speech that served as a voice for other African Americans who had no voice. This speech also was a time for Terrell to explain the unnecessary hassles she and other blacks had to take on when trying to live as a citizen in the capital. Through this speech we can see an abundance of prejudice that taint the lives of African Americans in the U.S.. In the following paragraphs, I will establish the notability of this speech, analyze the historical context that sparked the discourse into existence and explore other rhetorical features that will establish my analysis’s significance. Mary Church Terrell embodies feminine style rhetoric in her argument to address the social, economic and political struggles placed against African Americans with the undertone of constitutive rhetoric, topical structure, pathos and logos to validate her point. History: Mary Church Terrell was born during the civil war on September 23,1863 to her former slave parents, who later her parents became wealthy business leaders in their community. (Batten, 2010, p.2-3). Long after the civil war, she went to school in Ohio where she...

...What is rhetoric? Some say that it is the art of persuasive speech or the art of public speaking. Webster’s dictionary dictates rhetoric as, “ the art of speaking or writing effectively”. Throughout society speaking has always played an insurmountable role in our everyday lives, even before we put a literary term to define our actions. We do not see the practice of rhetoric until the 800s BC with the appearance of Homer, who was an author of multiple epic poems. Homer is most commonly known for, “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey”, which both are compiled of multiple speeches within his poems. This allowed Homer to use rhetoric throughout his works. Rhetoric is used much more than just in works of literature. Education and government play large...

...The New World Order: Not Built in a Day Luke Nosko 2011-04-02 David Tabachnick Word Count: 3028 The end of the Cold War, marked by the collapse of the Soviet Union, was the beginning of an unprecedented geopolitical scenario in modern times, namely the existence of a lone superpower nation which easily dominated the other countries of the world in terms of military strength and international economic and political influence. With this never-before-seen position of power in the modern, globalized world came the heightened importance of American foreign policy decisions, and the world waited to see how the US would react to being thrust abruptly into this role of the unipole of world power. The first test of US foreign policy as the sole superpower would actually come before the official dissolution of the USSR (though it had been in steep economic decline for some time), when Saddam Hussein lead the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. US President George H. W. Bush would place this conflict into perspective for the countries now looking to the US for leadership in his address to a joint session of Congress and the nation on September 11, 1990, and it was then that he most famously claimed that the US would strive to establish and protect the concept of a New World Order (NWO): “We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these...

...thus ending our neutrality and “forcing” the U.S, to become involved. The surprise attack took the lives of over 2,400 civilians and military personnel alike. The bombing caused outrage and President Roosevelt responded the very next day to announce Americas involvement and, hopefully, to inspire national pride with his famous words “"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory." ("American Rhetoric", n.d.). Due to the demands of warfare, the U.S. economy saw great improvement. High goods demand meant more production, which also meant more laborers would be needed, which led to the labor market also seeing growth. Because of the uprising in employment, consumerism also rose. Thus, the war had stimulated growth in the American economy. President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the War Production Board (WPB), which directed conversion of industries from peacetime work to war needs, allocated scarce materials, established priorities in the distribution of materials and services, and prohibited nonessential production. ("National Archives", n.d.). The WPB, though highly scrutinized, proved to be quite effective in managing the production of many military and civilian goods. When Roosevelt ordered the construction of 50, 000 planes, the WPB turned out over 90,000.

...Scientia per Verba The best way to describe the three video clips presented are hilariously informative two of which explained history by drunk people and one as a news informative special taking a sarcastic comedic tone. In all three video clips presented we saw at least one form of rhetoric in each. Logos, Pathos, and Ethos. All are strategies used to persuade an audience by a specific method. Logos a logic way of persuasion that can also be a logical fallacies meaning “reasoning that can be used incorrectly” (659). Pathos the emotional persuasion, and Ethos “the persuasion through the audience’s perception of the speaker” (661-664). In the first video clip of Drunken History: Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks, there is a use of pathos strategy. By using a non-threating “tired Rosa Parks” they drew sympathy from the people to persuade them for a boycott which in turn could ultimately change the law (2:30-2:36). Sympathy like stated in Reading the world: Ideas that matter is “when we see victims of injustice, economic hardship, crime, war, or disaster, we sympathize and want to help” (662). Therefore, by it being an un-theatrical Rosa Parks and not Claudette Colvin, some outspoken...

...many people with the use of rhetoric in his inaugural address. This address, using ethos, logos, and pathos, affected the lives of many people. He speaks to a number of different audiences, and each audience is addressed individually. Kennedy reassures the Americans' confidence, explains what he has to do to be successful, and gives people born without a fair chance hope. President Kennedy's use of ethos in his speech helps show what kind of president he will be. As you know, he was the first Catholic president of the United States. In his address he says, "For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago." This shows that Kennedy is a strong, morally correct man who puts much faith in God. He appeals to all the Catholics to let them know that he is a true Catholic. President Kennedy uses logos effectively when he explains why it's important to avoid war and secure peace across the globe. He urges nations to help each other through problems instead of letting the problems divide the countries. He wants to focus on the positive effects that science can have on society rather than its disastrous effects. He says, “Where the strong are just, and the weak secure, and the peace preserved," because it is what the Americans need to hear because it was a time when nobody wanted to be at war since nuclear weapons could literately devastate the United States and the world as well. The way pathos was...

...‘A cold war between East and West was inevitable after 1945.’ Do you agree? Up until May 7th 1945 Germany had been Europe’s main defence against Russian hegemony. Once the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany was complete, this defence no longer existed and the USSR held onto the territorial gains it had made during its monumental war effort. Germany’s fate had not yet been decided but in the meantime it had been divided into four areas by the former Allies. The tension between the remaining post war Superpowers, the United States and The Soviet Union were ever increasing. Britain became economically and militarily dependant on the US as its empire floundered. British rhetoric and ‘scaremongering was born of Britain’s desire to keep America involved in Europe.’ Stalin began to consolidate the Soviet area and the anti-Western language of the Soviet regime became just as scathing as Churchill’s. The ‘Iron Curtain’ was now in place and America, Britain and Russia were coming to realise that their respective ideologies were for the most part irreconcilable. Although it is often said that nothing is inevitable, there are times when the consequences of decisions and policies gather momentum and become an unstoppable force. By considering their differences and how the individual iron willed leaders involved expressed their intentions and shaped their stances against each other it will become apparent that the consequences and the forces that the East and the West put in motion made the Cold...

He announced his plan to relieve political tensions with enemies, and improve the way that America was headed for. All of America was listening in on Kennedy’s words, as well as people across the world. President Kennedy, through the use of rhetoric and diction, had one of the most well-constructed, influential, and important speeches ever given. As a result of the anxiety amongst the American population because of the Cold War, Kennedy used many action words...
