Overall, I felt Nixon had a more solid argument. Since he used more hard evidence. Although that did not affect the outcome of the election as Kennedy still won the election. Kennedy utilized mostly general statistics to convey his opinions, for example when he said, “I believe we should have an educational system second to none.” I believe during a presidential speech of this kind word like “I know” would have been more efficient than “I think” statements. In Nixons proposal he used well backed up evidence and many statistics. For example when he said “Let's take schools. We have built more schools in these last seven and a half years than we built in the previous seven and a half, for that matter in the previous twenty years. Let's take
In an adventure though time, one of the great moments to look at is, the Nixon era in American history. He was the president of the United States of America (U.S.A).

Johnson under the Democratic Party against Republican nominee Richard Nixon and his running mate Henry Lodge Cabot Jr. Throughout the campaign, Kennedy wanted to take the country into a “New Frontier” where America could progress beyond what the two presidents before him accomplished and find better methods on how to deal with issues (Deahl). Despite Kennedy’s high calcifications and vast experience, he was Catholic and many voters feared he might be under the Pope’s influence. Nonetheless, he proved himself to the American people when both candidates debated live on television, one of the first debates live in American history. While Kennedy appeared immaculate and confident, Nixon showed fatigue and stress which helped Kennedy as voters saw him more fit for presidency (Hamilton). For the electoral vote, won with 303 votes compared to Nixon’s 219 electoral votes and Byrd only 15 electoral votes
The underpinnings in Richard Nixon’s argument lack an appropriate logical foundation for defending his stance, as throughout the speech he deviates the attention of the audience from the main idea which was whether he did or did not appropriate himself from the funds intended toward his political campaign for personal use. However, he manages to persuade the audience through an unconventional approach to this rather common political tactic. Indeed, his speech was effective to save his candidacy; the notion that Nixon was giving full account of his arguably honest intentions by “openly” speaking about the issue and “providing evidence” made it seem like he was confronting accusations, while in reality
Kennedy was elected as President of the United States of America. Kennedy became the youngest and first Catholic to ever hold office for presidency. The controversy of this election was about appearances and who had the most experience and lastly the best candidate for the well-being of the United States. Appearances took on added significance because the election focused on the candidates, and not issues. Kennedy only won because he was vibrant and had the American dream as his goal. The election of 1960 was closest in history because of the 49.7% popular vote to Nixon’s 49.5% vote. Nixon actually won the most states in votes but Kennedy won the Electoral

During the 1960 presidential election, the candidates Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy made history by partaking in the first televised debate. The two men both gave their opinions on a multitude of issues and both argued their positions well, but the true argument was among the people who listened to the debate on the radio and the people who watched the debate on television. For those who listened to the debate, Richard Nixon was the clear winner; but, for those who watched the debate, Richard Nixon’s sweaty face appeared uncomfortable in comparison to Kennedy’s calm and collected appearance. This begs the question when is sweat “good/acceptable/attractive” and when is sweat “bad/unacceptable/unattractive”? With the assistance of a simple

President Richard M. Nixon’s administration had to face many international and domestic challenges in the United States between 1968 and 1974, some positive and some negative. His achievements in expanding peaceful relationships with both China and the Soviet Union are contrastingly different with his continuation of the Vietnam War. In the end, Nixon’s scandals and abuse of presidential power caught up to him, and his administration did much to corrode America’s faith in the government.
Nicholas Carr Claimed that the internet affects our information processing.

To begin, John F. Kennedy should have your support because of the way he carries himself, and presents his ideas. In document B, the first presidential debate between Vice President Nixon and senator Kennedy, the author of the transcripts explains that Kennedy, “ Kennedy...campaigning in California...tan and confident and well rested.” (2) Since the 1960 presidential election was
In today’s reading, Eric Foner discussed Nixon’s presidency, and the rise and triumph of conservatism. Nixon won the election by a very narrow margin. During his presidency his administration had created many new federal agencies. Such as, the Environmental Protection Agency, that clean up hazardous waste in water and air, the Occupation Safety and Health Administration, who sent inspectors to nations workplace, and the National Transportation Safety Board, that instructed automobiles creators in making their cars safer. He also expanded the food stamp program, Social Security benefits, and proposed a family assistance plan by replacing Aid to Families with Dependent Children.

In Richard Nixon’s address to the nation he makes an argument for technology and workers to work as one. Knowing that technology in farms increases the productivity, Richard Nixon was right when he stated “And we must make sure that technology does not dehumanize work, but makes it more creative and rewarding for the people who will operate the plants of the future.” Within this Richard Nixon agreed that technology in fact does pose a threat to human workers but it is up to us, the people to not allow technology to dehumanize work. Although technology proves to be very helpful less than 20% of corn fields are managed using any kind of technology so is there really a chance for technology to take over the agricultural work field?

Richard Nixon's presidency is one of the most examined, analyzed and discussed, yet least understood, of all the American administrations in history. While many factors still remain to be discovered, and many mysteries are left to be resolved, we need to do the best that we can to make sense of this secretive president of our past and his era. He is the one American figure about whom very few people don't have strong feelings for. Nixon is loved and hated, honored and mocked . The term 'Watergate', labeled by Congress in 1974, stands for not only the burglary, but also for the numerous instances of officially sanctioned criminal activity and abuses of power as well as the obstruction of justice that preceded the actual break-in.
The stakeholders of Penn State held different opinions. Some believe the university should be criticized for its lack of compassion for the victims and its failure to keep a child predator from being present and around children. Others feel that the scandal produced a witch-hunt with authorities looking to point the finger at others (Crandall, Parnell, & Spillan,
