Air Defense Is Home Defense Rhetorical Analysis

Maybe this would open the eyes about the war in Iraq, even if you ask people on the street they usually say that the war was wrong. It really surprised me that he won the next election, at maybe he shouldn't have, and he actually cheated like the movie says he does. A lot of these clips that Michael shows in his movie, had been shown in the news and I recognized some of them, and you have to admit that Bushes behavior has been very weird. Even though some people say that this is propaganda, all lies and is stupid just doesn't want to see the facts. A lot of these things are true, and can anyone actually stand up and tell me why a war where hundreds of thousand people have died? Was it to force democracy down on a middle eastern country, how

During the Cold War, there were enough nuclear weapons produced to destroy the whole world several times over. The “Military-Industrial Complex” speech delivered by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address in 1961 touched on his views on the massive arsenal production. President Eisenhower used parallelism, allusion, and tone to warn the American people of the dangers of producing excessive military weapons.

The "England Expects National Service" poster branches out to every citizen in the Nation to help strengthen the war effort. The large statue of the soldier shows immense pride for the Nation and it persuades those to join the Navy to fufill the expectations of the government. The techniques used in this poster are "bandwagon" and "plain folks". In addition, the use of painting everyday people below the soldier shows that anyone could join and takes more than just one courageous person to make a difference. This poster shows pride for one's country and is very effective at illustrating the fact that ANYONE can help.

During the World War l, Britain and Germany both produced propaganda posters. The posters was designed to influence people’s opinion towards it. British worked diligently to win America’s support.

On September 11th, 2001, tragedy struck America with the attacks on the Twin Towers and on the Pentagon. Not only did tens of thousands of New Yorkers see these atrocities firsthand but, millions of viewers watched in horror on the news; witnessing their nation under attack. Hundreds of terrified civilians ran from the carnage, however there were some who ran toward the collapsing buildings to save innocent lives. President George W. Bush stood with the fire fighters, the police and other first responders holding the flag of his nation and gave his address to the mourning citizens of the United States. He mainly used the strategies of ethos and pathos to try to comfort the American people and also have them rise and fight against the terror.

World War One posters were everywhere. Each one was used for a purpose, either for political reasons or to promote something, better known as propaganda. These posters could be biased or misleading, but not all were. “Pledge to Save the Food” and “Save the Wheat for our Soldiers” are two posters published by the United States Food Administration. Both made it clear, this was the right thing to do for our soldiers, to be patriotic.

During both of the World Wars, the United States was short on money and supplies for the soldiers overseas, so they made posters to gain support from the people still at home. The posters showcased government bonds that Americans could buy that were essentially loans to the United States government. In order to get people to spend the small amounts of money they had, the posters used emotions and tone to persuade the American citizens to buy the bonds. The term used for the emotional looking pictures to showcase the author’s message is pathos. Many of the posters used during the wars used pathos to get their message across.

In Steven Brill's Are We Any Safer, an article which appeared in the September 2016 issue of The Atlantic, the rhetor attempts to educate the audience on the issue of post 9/11 security, and whether or not it has improved safety. The writer responds to this exigence and makes rhetorical response effective by using ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to the audience. The audience in which Brill is addressing is the American people. Americans were affected the most by 9/11, so they are the ones who will be attracted to this response. In the article Brill also expertly balances resources and constraints, a key part to any rhetorical response.

The United States home front during World War II supported the war effort in many ways and provided a foundation for success. In the beginning President FDR’s slogan for WWII was, “Arsenal of Democracy”, which was a promise that the United States would help the UK fight Nazi Germany by giving them military supplies while the United States stayed out of the actual fighting. As the war continued to worsen FDR presented his “Four Freedoms” speech at the 1941 State of the Union address which were “Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear”. This speech was about the national security of the United States and the threat to other democracies from world war. It was a break from the tradition of the United States non-interventionism

If you are raised to hate, is it possible to choose a different path? This is the question that Zak Ebrahim raises at the beginning of both his Ted Talk and his book, The Terrorist’s Son. Ebrahim’s story is one of choice, he chose nonviolence and peace.

One modern military propaganda poster suggests that if you “train [t]here [you] can succeed anywhere” (US Army). These posters and slogans are specifically designed to recruit new military personnel by persuading the majority that the military supplies the proper training to ensure a soldier's success post war. This particular poster depicts a strong and fearless man protecting our country. These posters contain hierarchical scaling which makes the serviceman the center of attention and larger than everything else pictured. This intentional tactic leads to the soldier seeming more powerful and tough.

In President Obama’s speech on drone policy, given on May 23, 2013 in Washington D.C., he asserts, “dozens of highly skilled al Qaeda commanders, trainers, bomb makers and operatives have been taken off the battlefield... Simply put, those [drone} strikes have saved lives.” Many American’s support this view. According to a July 18, 2013 Pew Research survey, 61% of Americans supported drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia (Drake). However, this belief that drone strikes make the United States safer by decimating terrorist networks around the world is widely contested. An opposing viewpoint is that these strikes create more terrorist than they kill. There is a common misperception that drones are precise, killing only the target and entourage. According to a meta-study of drone strikes, between 8 to 17% of all people killed are civilians (Sing). People who see their loved ones injured or killed in drone

During and after World War One, the United States government released a lot of propaganda to encourage its citizens to enlist in the army and change their domestic habit to support their soldier who fought on the front. In the Library of Congress, this poster is created by Alfred Everitt Orr in 1918. It aims at encouraging the citizens to buy the Victory Liberty Loan issued in 1919. The image shows the reunion of a soldier who return from Europe with his family. The soldier hugs his wife and holds his son with helmet hang on his neck. The son smiles with closing eyes and enjoys embracing his father. The wife admires the medal on the soldier’s chest. The bright color of the background indicates the warm and happy atmosphere of the scene and

In my rhetorical analysis I stated in my first paragraph that one of the main themes was the strong will to survive. The fight or flight response as defined by Ben Martin in the article Fight Or Flight is “a sequence of internal processes that prepares the aroused organism for struggle or escape. It is triggered when we interpret a situation as threatening.” This meaning that when we feel a threatening situation in our brains we then need to decide whether we want to fight or flight “get out.” In the movie the revenant Hugh Glass had to make this decision when he was attacked by a bear. Did he want to survive or did he want to lay down and die? Hugh Glass chose to fight because he was taught to have a strong will to survive. After Glass was

“Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall” 1 Corinthians 10:12 (ASB).
