Analysis Of The Novel One Nation By Dr. Ben Carson

In response to the controversial sermon given by his pastor and the racial remarks that followed him during his 2008 campaign, then Senator Barack Obama, was inherently forced into delivering a speech that would address the comments and prove to the American people that he did in fact shared their “American Dream” and was not an Anti-America charity case. Obama gave his famous “A More Perfect Union” speech in Philadelphia, where he seized the opportunity to address the controversy as an indication of a much larger issue, race relations in America and introduce his mission of moving the country toward “a more perfect union.” His speech often coined, “the Race Speech”, had several factors play into its success, one factor being the way the speech was delivered, his speech incorporated the jeremiad form and constitutive form of rhetoric, the use of those two forms helped Obama address the issue while at the same time creating an identity that would encompass all Americans who would then come together in this identity and work toward the solution of the race issue and providing the “American Dream” for everyone.

This document entitled Listen, America!, was written by Jerry Falwell in 1980. Jerry Falwell wrote this document in hopes of persuading and informing America that religion is something that they need in their everyday life. “They have been taught that the Bible is just another book of literature” (Falwell 320). His goal is to prove to American citizens that this is not the case, that the Bible is something that everyone should study and be respectful of. It is not another book for the pleasure of reading, it is a book filled with essential information that we must digest and accept. The importance of what Falwell is preaching is something that society should analyze and decide if it is something worth following. He wants to bring back

“We the people, in order to form a more perfect union”1 - On March the 18th 2008 Barack Obama opened his speech on race, in Philadelphia, with this sentence. From the open sentence you can see that this speech isn’t any speech, perform by any orator. It’s a speech with a main message, performed for the people, to creates a brighter future for all the American people and to change history.

Some examples of convoluted sentences from the text are “His father,” and “The people I meet.”

Criminal case is always tedious when it involves little or no information about the offender, like in the 9/11 terrorist attack which annihilated most of the workers in and damaged the New York Trade Center building. However, in an attempt to identify the offenders, government officials and investigators try out different ways such as criminal profiling and others. Thus, in the New Yorker article, “Dangerous Minds” by Malcolm Gladwell; the author informs the deeper problems with FBI profiling and argues that it is ineffective. He questions the usefulness of criminal profiling, “But how useful is that profile, really?” and uses other criminal cases, group research analyses, and analogies to refute

By the conclusion of the story Anthem, Equality 7-2521 has changed his mind and become very judgmental of the leaders of his society, denouncing them in many terms. Because of what the leaders made equality do, his actions were very understandable. The way they controlled his life and made him do things he did not want to do were very harsh. I feel as if equalities actions were correct. And here are some reasons why.

Totalitarianism is a type of political system in which the government controls everything. There are no limits to the government’s authority as it strives to keep everything and everyone equal. Totalitarianism plays a big role in the novel Anthem, where everyone is restricted and ruled by the government with no opinion or way out. People who are determined do their best to outsmart the government but most fail because they eventually just give in. However, this is tested when the main character in Anthem, Equality, starts realizing what the government is doing to them is wrong. He starts building on a mind of his own, educating himself in order to surpass the limitations imposed by his government. He works in secret to discover new ways to improve the way they live. He is able to work in secret for a significant amount of time, but his actions are eventually discovered. Once this happens his ideas are judged and threatened with destruction because they pose a threat to the uniform order of the society. Ayn Rand analyzes the concepts of uniformity, individuality, and rebellion throughout her dystopian novel Anthem to argue that totalitarianism is harmful the population.

In the 2005 Kenyon Commencement Address, David Foster Wallace tries to persuade the graduates that education is having awareness. Being educated isn’t about earning a degree or how much knowledge you have but about how you think. Wallace shows that knowing how to think can change the way you look at situations, knowing how to think gives a person situational awareness. Paying attention to situations around you and things about them gives you other options of how to look at them. During his speech, Wallace gives the example of being frustrated in the grocery store after work or while driving in traffic; if you think of different options instead of thinking about yourself then you can look at these situations differently or even feel better.

In the article “Understanding Trump” by George Lakoff, the author is promoting some research that he has done in cognitive science and linguistic. The information that he is trying to present is hard to understand if you are not a professional, for that reason he is presenting his research so it’s reaching a broader audience. Lakoff uses among other things imagery when he tries to explain the conservative and the progressive worldviews by means of forms of family. He compares the conservative with the Strict Father family and the progressive with the Nurturant Parent family. These metaphors make the audience imagine what is being said, and it becomes easier for them to understand how different these two groups are.

There was three ways “A Dream Fulfilled: The Story Barack Obama” impressed me. One way he impressed me, was how he handle being biracial at the time period of the civil rights movement. Barack having a Kenyan Father and a White American Mother during the middle of the civil rights movement. For example, the book describes Barack resist being a racist himself because at this time everyone is pointing fingers at each other. He stays clear and still be accepting to other. Another way he impressed me, that he’s genuinely wants to help people. He was just in it to become president for selfish reasons. For example, he was a community organizer. The job has low pay and work with stubborn people. He accepted this job because he truly wanted to help

When Donald trump announced his candidacy it was somewhat of a joke to some of the establish GOP members, but as time went on it became clearer that he is what the American public wanted. Donald Trump is a man that to the public may seem like he has no idea what the is doing, but that is not the truth at all. Walter Meade said that, “In both domestic and foreign policy, this century will be profoundly influenced by the values and concerns of Jacksonian America (Mead 2002, 231).” Donald Trump embodies those Jacksonian principles almost down to the mark, with a small percentage of Jeffersonian thrown in. He believes in first and foremost protecting America and its interests while still protecting the liberties at home, and that is what has shaped and will shape his foreign policy if and when he becomes president.
