Comment: Absurd Decision On Obama Makes A Mockery

Elie Wiesel uses rhetoric to convey his message in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. In the speech, he uses rhetoric by telling from his own perspective or from his own point of view. In paragraph three, the authors explains his opinion from his point of view that he doesn’t think he has the right to accept the Nobel Peace Prize: “It frightens me because I wonder: do I have the right to represent the multitudes who have perished? Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? I do not. That would be presumptuous. No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.” He questions himself and he thinks that he doesn’t deserve the honor to be given the Nobel Peace Prize. In paragraph eleven, the author explains that there’s always something that can be done: “There is much to be done, there is much that can be done. One person...of integrity can make a

Binyon states his claim in the title of his article, and throughout the text, he provides evidence to support and strengthen that claim. He makes use of background information to help the reader understand the principles behind the Nobel Peace Prize, and he makes comparisons that give the audience a perspective of the controversy that they might not have had originally. Binyon creates an effective argument that shows the audience how detrimental it is to the award’s reputation because of the unfair circumstances that led to President Obama’s

Each peace medal had a photo of Thomas Jefferson on it. Although the Indians accepted these metals thinking that they symbolized that they were as well equivalent to the Americans and equally accepted in society. The reality is the opposite. The purpose of the peace medal was so the Indians would now be held under the power of the “Great Father” Jefferson. Lewis and Clark were trying to turn the Indians into Americans, almost symbolising that they are no longer under their own culture, but they are under the rule of the President. As Thomas Jefferson’s letter to Meriwether Lewis said, “It may better those who may endeavour to civilise and instruct them.” This showed that the kind actions that Lewis and Clark were supposed to uphold, had a purpose of suppressing the Indians and their unaccepted cultures. The peace medals were just an example of Lewis and Clark’s actions to assimilate the Indian culture. The Americans needed help from the First Nations and wanted to trade with them, and the peace medals represented that the two could help each other out, but as history showed, the reality was the

The Nobel Prize for Literature was not rewarded to the deserving writer. You have awarded Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize for Literature on October 13, 2016 degrading dedicated writers around the world. After dropping out of college in the 1960’s to pursue an occupation in which he was already well known as the times “most loved folk poet”, he turned to singing and writing rock-type songs with anti war messages. Whether he did “create new poetic expressions within the great American tradition” he has not proven himself worthy of such a significant award. Such a legendary award offered to many other brilliant writers, should be received by someone who can and will continue to change the world. This award could help out developing writers, developing countries, and should not be handed out single handedly.

The president uses informal powers to set and enact a legislative agenda, to do executive orders, send out troops without a declaration of war, make executive agreements, create and use bureaucracy, and make legislative proposals. Out of all the informal powers presidents tend to use the executive power the most.

In his life, Jimmy accomplished many things. He is one of the five activists from around the world to receive the United Nations' Human Rights Prize in 1998.3 In 2002, he received the Nobel Peace Prize. It was awarded to him "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social

Many argue that the most powerful branch in government is the Executive Branch. The President is considered as the most influential and the most important position in the U.S. government. However, the powers granted to Presidents and the prerogative they have exerted are not listed in the Constitution but instead have been adapted and expanded upon by each President. Although the Constitution does not define the powers of the President, it has defined Presidential powers in terms of peace, war, and emergency. A recent expansion of Presidential power, exerted by Bush and then Obama was this “War on Terror (WOT)”. President Barack Obama and his predecessor President George W. Bush have both expanded the powers of the President through the

On Thursday, October 13, 2016, Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature. Since then, it has been questioned whether or not he deserves this prize. Bob Dylan whose real name is Robert Allen Zimmerman was raised in Duluth, Minnesota. He has been singing and has been in bands since he was a teenager and has listened to songs from an even earlier age. He has been given many awards for his songs and has grown a reputation. However, being awarded the Nobel Prize had brought up a lot of arguments and questions on if Bob Dylan deserves it. The Nobel Prize was created by Alfred Nobel who want to prizes to those who have done something incredible in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences. Winners

It is what led Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate Nhat Hanh for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. He said, “I do not personally know of anyone more worthy of [this prize] than this gentle monk from Vietnam. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity"

Donald Trump crazy accusation towards Barack Obama is just another reason on why he is by far the worst Presidential candidate ever. Donald Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobic, immature loudmouth that has little to no care on what he says and does. He makes crazy assumptions for the sole purpose to gain attention and to place blame on someone for the horrendous things that has been happening for past months. ISIS is a Salafi jihadist militant group that follows a fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam. They are responsible for hundreds of deaths of innocent people. Donald Trump having the audacity to accuse of President of eight years this is just reckless and pathetic. And just proves how incompetent he would be as our next commander

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.

This passage is an ironic retelling of history that adds to the overall function of the piece. It is actually funny in the sense that Bush was very far off when he pictured how computers would be used in his time period. The irony is that Vannevar Bush envisioned a computer that the general public could use and communicate with others and be generally productive. However, this is not what occurred (at least not initially). What really happened up until the mid-70’s when the personal computer was a reality was that computers were only used by the government for military purposes or a very select few researchers. He was so far off his original prediction that it is ironic how his mindset was almost the complete opposite of the reality. The function

It was announced on October 9, 2009 that American President Barack Obama is this year’s recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace. The Nobel Foundation states that Obama was chosen "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." (Nobel Foundation) Controversy and debate ensued in the world wide media. Critics have debated Obama’s worthiness. Supporters have cited numerous examples of the current U.S. Presidents’ nobility. Obama does deserve this prestigious award.

The works of The XIV Dalai Lama did not go unnoticed. In 1989 he received the Nobel Peace Prize for consistently championing policies of nonviolence and human rights in his own beleaguered country as well as in other strife-torn areas of the world. He is the first Nobel Laureate to be recognized for his concerns for global environmental problems. The Dalai Lama in his struggle for the liberation of Tibet consistently has opposed the use of violence. He has instead advocated peaceful solutions based upon tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people. His holiness, accepting the Nobel peace
