Bill O Reilly: Rainbow Lights On The Day

The content of this clip was supposed to about Trumps ill-mannered outreach to Black Americans; why is he so impulsive in his tactics to win their vote? It began that way, by featuring a long video clip of Trump speaking impetuously about inner city violence. The bulk of it however, left much to be desired. Instead it was a made up of snide, bombastic hostility, right after the clip ended until the end.

His target audience tends to be just the general public, anyone who willl listen, but appears to have a sway towards the younger, more predominately liberal, generation. When he first appeals to his audience, Weingarten is talking about young people involved in politics. Weingarten explains that he is perturbed to find that when he is debatig his stance on a subject he doesnt find himself with a “sympathetic audience, respectful in the presence of an esteemed elder,” instead he finds these young people “making furitive eye contact.” Weingarten is appealing to our traditional values by assuming the idea of “respecting your elders” which has been an unwritten rule and tradition across many cultures for centuries. Saying that these young people were not respectful in an elder’s presence is implying that the young people need to value the tradition of respecting your elder. Weingarten also appeals to our need for safety by making us worry about out countires safety. “But I do not yield, this is worrisome territory, it makes me worry about our country.” Weingarten continues to talk about the downhill slope our country is on with Donald Trump “venturing into this area of political correctness.” Following the Weingarten then states, “If Trump could get people like me reluctantly nodding their heads, he was on to something.” At first it is just an unsettling thought but it appears to appeal to a need for

Clearly John Oliver pulls in a large audience for his HBO satire/talk show. However, this gives him an edge when talking about somewhat dry topics like politics. No matter what your opinion’s are of Oliver, he has conducted a great deal of research for this sketch. He uses past clips of Trump and his family speaking, twitter post and legal disputes (like how Trump was suing over a biography undervaluing his wealth). He used what appeared to be qualitative research to dispel fact from fiction by showing viewers the “uncensored” side of Donald Trump. Most critics of Trump focus on traits of his personality and past decisions based on it. To be persuasive to people who do not share your viewpoint, you also need to introduce facts in a debate.

Using rhetorical jujitsu, he reframes Republican arguments into a context that ensures that his own policies appear very strong. His opponents in the audience were often at a loss, never confident in whether or not they should applaud. Paul Ryan, visible throughout, makes it very hard to discern what policies he supports and opposes by basically having no reaction at all. He shifts uncomfortably in his chair throughout the speech, and barely claps for anything. Obama’s emphasis on a shared American identity (55:00) is ultimately a criticism against both right and left—against the sort of right-winger who sees Obama himself as a strange foreigner and the sort left-winger who sees ethnic or gender identity as the most important aspect of an individual’s identity. Obama’s rhetoric at odds with both of

The kneeling for the national anthem is a widely controversial topic. It has been widely talked about in sports and politics. The protests sparked up when a former NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, sat down during the national anthem and then began to take a kneel. The meaning of taking a kneel is to protest against racial discrimination, especially with recent events in the hands of law enforcement. It is also known to go against racial and social injustice. However, not being educated on the meaning behind the protest brings up the controversy among the kneeling of the national anthem. Jackie Robinson, who was the first African American in baseball, wrote in his autobiography (I Never Had It Made) explained he simply could not stand and sing the anthem. He also stated he could not salute the flag because he recognizes himself as a black man in a white world. Although it has been around for years, it is becoming a more talked about protest, because of how many people are doing it on live television. It is also being done by credible people who many fans look up to. In my rhetorical analysis I want to evaluate three different bias examples of the national anthem protest. I decided to take a look into the controversy among news articles like CNN, Dailymail, and ProCon.

When he asks for people to lower the signs, it tells the audience that something big has happened, and that he truly cares and feels emotion and respect for what he is talking about, even before he begins talking about it. Even though this is a political journey, he is trying to get rid of that feel at the moment, putting this above all, as his number one priority. When analyzing this section of the speech it becomes evident that the word all is repeated. This not only connects the audience together, and him with the audience, but everyone; all. African-Americans, Whites, Hispanics, Asians, Muslims,

After seeing Alexandra Wallace’s racist video, YouTuber David So responded with why her video was politically incorrect. So begins his argument by saying that some of the offensive things that

Most of the content in the article was about the actions that had been taken at the United Nations speech. For example, “But Trump’s U.N. speech was a read-from-the-teleprompter performance, not a case of his just blurting out something awful. People in the White House read it and talked about it in advance”. This example, is able to demonstrate that a professional speech delivered to many world leaders had been reviewed by people in the White House, yet it had unprofessional content. The humorous part of the article was when Collin stated, “Even though he won’t drink in mixed company unless his wife is present, or dine alone with a woman he’s not married to”. She is bringing up a fact that mocks Mike

He calls out Al Sharpton as being part of a "grievance lobby" that cries wolf about oppression and racist systems in order to mask societal issues. While it is true that in "Culture Wars in America: An Encyclopedia of Issues, Viewpoints, and Voices", author Roger Chapman asserts that "Sharpton is … blamed for inflaming racial tensions and in some cases sparking riots", O'Reilly employs a textbook ad hominem attack to focus on the person rather than his arguments. O'Reilly also claims that Rand Paul believes that American should be free to use drugs, when there is no evidence to support that assertion. In fact, according to authors Cnhi Washington Reporter and Kery Murakami in their December 2015 Claremore Daily Progress article entitled "Rand Paul Finds Unlikely Support from Marijuana Advocates", Paul believes "that states should be left to make their own marijuana policies [but] has stopped short of calling for legalization". By misstating Paul's position, O'Reilly commits a straw man logical fallacy in order to strengthen his

In “A Rebel, a Warrior and a Race Fiend” (2017), Charles Blow affirms that Donald Trump is not on the side of the country; he is allied with the white supremacists, white nationalists racists, and the hostiles. Blow intensifies his initial claim by referencing the National Anthem and the NFL kneeling controversy, and then stating his opinion on the situation and Trump’s actions toward it. He does this in order to reveal the true nature of what Trump is doing to the country, “With every passing day, Trump diminishes the office of the presidency and elevates a virulent strain of racial animus.” Blow is indubitably addressing the entire public because he opens and closes the article with two very blatantly negative statements against Donald Trump;

(Jungblut and House) Many people have very strong feelings about when others show disrespect during the national anthem, especially if they have family members who they can’t even see everyday because they’re in the service. “I wanted them to see that the lives lost fighting for freedom in the American Revolution, the Civil War and the civil rights movement, should also be respected. I wanted them to understand what they are doing and why, because freedom is not something we can take lightly.” (Jungblut and House)

Symbolism is an important device for creating meaning in cartoon by eliminating words. This technique can be inferred everywhere anywhere basically anything that a human can see will have at least on symbolism either implied to its appearance, behaviour or it can just be someone or something one has given a meaning to. Symbolism is often used in political cartoons by editorialists as they are able to imbed deeper meaning into their creations. Also, from using this satirical device in the image audiences are able to have an open mind of what is occurring or even interpret their own meaning. ‘Trump Wants a Kiss’ is a political cartoon that has a variety of symbols. Enlightenment, is shown through the torch that is seen held in the left hand of the statue; from the way Statue Liberty is hold the torch and trying to defend herself with it, she is almost telling Trump to stop and to lighten up. Another object that the Lady Liberty is holding is a tablet and written on it is the date of American Independence (July 4, 1776) written in Roman numerals. As can be seen she is using this tablet as if it was a shield, which can imply that those that do not give authority to Trump is using this event (American Independence) against Trump. Therefore, this satirical device, symbolism, is able to portray the message as Trump is attempting to give the Statue of Enlightening the World a kiss to being the new boss, Lady Liberty is refusing and is stopping in him in his path and will be another competition for Trump to

No one said leading was easy, and in the book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John C. Maxwell addresses the principal of transformational leadership, and how there is more than one aspect in becoming a successful leader. Leadership is one of the many desirable qualities in becoming successful not only in everyday life, but also in nursing. This paper will discuss ways to develop into an effective, successful leader, the necessary steps to increase leadership ability, and how leadership can affect personal growth in nursing practice.

there were loads of rainbow flags flying at our shows, but I think that was mainly because people think of the Louis and Harry thing [that they’re secret lovers], which is absolutely nuts and drives me insane”(Attitude 102). What is important to note is that the rainbows which are consistently showcased at One Direction concerts (well before the law on marriage changed) are not because of any ship. The purpose of Rainbow Direction and these rainbow signs was to create a safe place for all. These concerts were transformed by fans, for fans, to establish visibility, educate others, speak out against bullying, and let people celebrate who they are. In one simple statement, your publication undermined the entire movement. In fact, the next paragraph insinuates that these fans are members of a “cult” and are upsetting to Liam Payne and (presumably) the rest of the band (Attitude

I am drawn to the field of social work because it will allow me to hear the stories of people from all walks of life, and be able to put my passion for social justice and overall belief of human dignity and worth into a career that challenges me to alter my perspective on individuals and society as a whole. I plan on entering a field that I know will not be easy, but I feel that it is my calling, and I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. I am fully aware that social work is a career that has a high burnout rate and that it is highly underappreciated, but I want to be able to have an impact on all of the people that I will serve, by advocating for them, but also helping them advocate for themselves. I have wanted to become a social
