Gaddaf Level 3 Unit 2 Extracts

He also felt sorrow and sympathy for the victims of the tragic event. When speaking of the unity of the country itself he was proud, patriotic, honored and nationalistic. He uses the first person within his speech to engage his audience by talking about himself, his actions, opinions and feelings. He uses phrases such as “… I directed” and “… Weigh on me every time I…” to reflect on his personal sorrow. Negative vocabulary is used to describe the Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, labelling him as a “… terrorist” and “… mass murderer of innocent…” to convince the audience to resent him. Contrastingly, positive vocabulary attempts to gain the support of the audience when presenting his outlooks and the actions he took. He states “… united in our resolve to protect our nation” and speaks of the several years he was determined in bringing justice to protect his people. He uses exaggerative adjectives such as “… senseless slaughter” and “… exemplify professionalism, patriotism and unparalleled courage” to persuade his audience of the atrociousity of these crimes and to commemorate those who worked with him. Alliteration such as “… service, struggle and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war” is used to describe the war with bin Laden in an unforgettable manner to the audience, to convince the audience of the hardship they have endured because of the horrific attacks. Barack Obama uses figurative language to enhance the impact on the audience and to create imagery. Metaphors are used such as “… seared into our national memory” and “… gaping hole in our hearts” to describe the intensity of the crimes and the aftermath of them. This exhibits the severity of the past events on the country and the victims’ families, therefore, convincing them of the justification of Osama bin Laden’s

Obama introduced his speech greeted the audience, and since the beginning he identified himself as one more citizen of the America, by refereeing to his broadly audience as “his fellow citizens,” (Klein) which was an effective way to have the people attention. Then he grounded his words on the Constitution of the United States to introduce his thesis about how the patriots of 1776 fought to give us a republic and a government that defended the rights of its people. He also presented the main points of his speech, and concluded his introduction by sharing common past experiences about the economic success achieved and about the importance of protecting the most vulnerable. This way he put his ideas in context and made his address more credible.

Libya is a country east of Egypt with just over 6,000,000 people. Libya’s first ruler was King Idris I, he was elected after World War II when the people were looking for a new leader. He was Libya's only King. He established embassies with many large countries such as the U.S. and also allowed U.S. military to come in to restore and maintain the rights of the Libyan people in his first decade as a king. After King Idris I died in 1969, Libya fell apart. A new ruler, Gaddafi, began destroying Libya and its government. In 1972 tensions increased so much between the American and Libyan governments the American ambassador was removed from the embassy in Tripoli. In 1979 all American embassy workers were removed after an attack. In 2011 the people

Obama firsts opens by incorporating the beginning of the Preamble of the Constitution, “We the people”, to reinstill his patriotic ethos as well as introduce the main idea of the speech. He regains the trust of the sceptic patriotic Americans by referencing the most well renowned American

Throughout his speech, Obama is able to prove that John Kerry is ready for the role as America’s new leader. He does this by explaining how Kerry’s allegiance to the nation has prepared him for the tough choices that he could soon come to face as a leader. He does this when he shares “...his heroic service to Vietnam, to his years as a prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he’s devoted himself to this country.” Establishing how John Kerry has repeatedly played a key role in the what made the United States the country

Addressing the most important factor – lack of literacy – it can be noted that the education expenditures in Sierra Leone is 2.9% of GDP (2012)1. An increase in investment in the education system, and enforcement is the most effective way to increase literacy rates. In an interview with the International Monetary Fund, the question is posed: “Oil wealth is not always a blessing. In actual fact, countries like Nigeria have struggled in managing the resource effectively. How can the CEMAC countries avoid the pitfalls that other countries have fallen into? ” The simple answer given by Sharmini Coorey, Director of the IMF's Institute for Capacity Development replies; “Another important thing is investing in people. In the book, we focus on how to achieve inclusive growth and one of the most obvious and relatively easy ways of making inclusive growth is to spend your oil money on better health and education.17” In investing in the people, a country is investing in their future. Censorship isn’t generally accepted in Sierra Leone and so with the creation of privately owned newspaper, radio, and television companies, it allows the private owners to give people the unbiased, truthful and accurate news16. In the research done, my conclusion is that Sierra Leone has a good basis for media, however it is the literacy and monetary issues which hold

The speech I am analyzing was given by Barrack Obama, the president of the United States at West Point on Troop increase in Afghanistan. The speech was delivered on first December 2008 in Eisenhower Hall in West Point Military Academy in New York. The speech was delivered to the corps of the United States, to the Americans and to the women and men of American armed forces. The speech by Barrack Obama was about Americans’ effort in Afghanistan that is the nature of Americans’ commitment in Afghanistan, the scope of the interests of the Americans and the strategy the American administration will apply to bring the war in Afghanistan to a successful conclusion. The audience represented people who are prepared to stand out for the security of the country and represent the best about America.

In A Swan Song From an Out-Of-Touch President by Richard Lowry, he argues that President Barack Obama is out of touch with the present state of the Union, and that he inaccurately portrays events that have happened as positive. When referring to the Iranian kidnapping of ten American soldiers Lowry says “the Iranians agree to humiliate us, and we agree not to care”. He says this because, instead of President Obama becoming upset with the treatment of these soldiers, he thanked them for their cooperation in returning the soldiers home. Richard Lowry reflects that Obama did not handle the situation correctly and allowed the U.S to be spit on and humiliated. To depict this view he holds, Lowry uses sarcasm, saying things like “diplomacy at its best,” and “obviously”. Richard Lowry also alludes to past events from other presidencies saying “wasn’t another Carter-era Iranian hostage crisis, but it was another national humiliation”. He does this to reveal that these

President Obama, like all Presidents before him, delivered a farewell address to the United States on January 20, 2017. As he stepped down as President he was eloquent and it was as clear as ever that he is a master of oration. Obama will go down in history as the first Black President as well as a strong orator who had the ability to captivate an audience through his use of ethos, pathos and logos amongst other rhetorical devices. His farewell address is a perfect example of Obama’s mastery of discourse as it is chock full of oratorical devices. Obama’s message to the American people and to the rest of the world is that it is essential that we maintain a sense of what it means to have a democracy and that in order to maintain peace and

In 2004, Obama walked up to the podium at the Democratic National Convention as a political novelty. The speech he delivered established Obama as a natural leader and transformed him into a future presidential candidate. Rich in demonstrative rhetoric, its purpose was to unite the American people through nationalism. The exploration of his rhetoric and style throughout this paper will cement why the speech was beneficially identity transforming for Obama's political career.

The efficiency of humanitarian intervention is normative because of people having different views on the output and the unlikeliness of every one being pleased by the new regime therefore it is very hard to affirm the real results of the intervention. In 2011, a group of countries intervened during the Libyan civil war, which lead to the abolition of Muammar Gadhafi’s regime. The Operation Unified Protector by NATO was partly successful because they achieved to kill the dictator on 20th October, but partly ineffective because the standards of living in Libya have not increased and the state is facing a lack of government’s ruling. This case study supports the statement that HI could be an abandoned project as it is not always favourable to everyone.

After gathering the American people’s attention, Obama states the “heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals.” Generally he tells the American people that they made lots of progress on the war on terrorism. He says “our” because it tells the American people their efforts weren’t futile. He also uses this term to show the American people are part of the war on terrorism. Constantly using words of unity, Obama uses a mixture of ethos and pathos. He makes

In late 2010, a tidal wave of uprisings and protests in various parts of the Arab world emerged. It began with the Tunisian revolution when the martyr Mahmoud Bouazizi set fire to himself as a result of the deteriorating economic and social.

Similarly, since Libya’s government also focuses more on oil exports than its own citizens, many energy-related social issues arise. Despite its oil-rich soil, around 40% of the country, or 6.4 million people, live below the poverty line and do not see the wealth associated with oil exports (Central Intelligence Agency, 2017).We spoke to a former Libyan citizen, Ayman, to glean some perspective on how power outages affect daily life in Libya. Like in Venezuela, this can be detrimental to vulnerable populations in Libya. Ayman revealed to us that, “Power outages occur on a daily basis” and that “citizens only have access to electricity for about four to eight hours a day.” Many Libyans suspect that GEOCOL, the general electric company in Libya, implements
