It is important for him to touch upon these emotions, and make the audience feel the sorrow, dignity, and hope, however, it is more important for him to remain strong and uphold his powerful image as our leader. He strongly upholds this dominant character throughout the speeches entirety. His almost stone-like facial expression allows audiences to perceive him as dignified and they can therefore instill more trust in his capabilities as our nation's leader. Had former President Bush expressed all the emotions he was mentioning, the audience may have altered their perception of him by perceiving him as weak, such as if he were to render sorrowful expressions in front of the people who elected him as leader. It is important to keep in mind that at this time, Bush had only been president for a short matter of time and still had to prove himself as a qualified leader, therefore it made sense that he only verbally depict emotions such as sorrow. Former President George Bush accomplishes a well organized speech by his proper and effective use of pathos in addition to logos and

"Socrates, can virtue be taught?"1 The dialogue begins with Meno asking Socrates whether virtue can be taught. At the end of the Meno (86d-100b), Socrates attempts to answer the question. This question is prior to the division between opinion and knowledge and provides to unsettle both. Anytus participated in Socrates and Meno conversation about virtue. Socrates claims that if virtue is a kind of knowledge, then it can be learned. If it is something besides a kind of knowledge, it perceptibly cannot be taught.

It displays him professionally sitting in his oval office, with the American and Presidential flag framing him at his desk. The symbolism of patriotism and power seen in this image are affecting the audience in believing that anything Bush would say that evening would be official and be true to the people. For example, “ we will make no distinction between the terrorist who committed these act and those who harbor them.” Based on Bush’s statement about seeking out those who committed the attacks as well as the ones who helped shows that he understands there is no moral distinction between the two. The criminals that committed the attack are just as evil as the ones that helped to plan it out. Therefore his threat is credible in the sense that he is President of the United states and he has the resources to back up his statement. Another example would when he says, “Tonight i ask for your prayers for all those who grieve.” Bush incorporated ethos into the speech by asking the audience to pray for those who grieve. This is ethical because prayer is apart of his moral beliefs. And using this collectively creates the sense of

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Image speaks volume to the people around you and sometimes even words cannot be enough to contradict it. Even in the current race to the White House, image cannot be underestimated. In fact, image will be very crucial not only during debates, but even in the day to day conduct especially due to the digital advancements enabling people to frequently monitor the candidates. In this elections therefore, a more appealing leader would be one in whom based on how he carries himself, strength is apparent and clear among other

Therefore, speaking about the tragedy, the condolences to the families of the victims, Reagan made a small pause for greater effect creation. Reagan's face expressed feelings of grief and sorrow. Although when the president started talking about the need to be brave and resilient in such moments, his expression suddenly changed. There were visible sense of endurance and resistance to all adversity in his face.

Leonard Pitts take a stand against President Trump in “Mr. President: ‘Just who the hell do you think you are?’” Pitts portrays the point with not only the use of pathos but also logos as he asks the President to examine who he is, and reminding him of where and who he is serving.

Being the president of the United States is the most challenging position one can have. The president of the Unites States wears numerous hats; nonetheless, not every president takes the same attitude on the job. In 1972, James David Barber who was a professor at Duke University published a book titled “The Presidential Character: Predicting Performance in the White House.” The book was signaled as a study of presidential characters, and simply perceived the temperament and personality in assessing how the country’s Chief Executive approached the presidency. Though there were defects in Barber’s approach in his effort to determine the personalities of multiple presidents, his method was indeed very interesting and worthy of trying. Now, let

Plato was a philosopher who was born in Athens (470-390 BCE), and was also a student of Socrates. He felt that intelligence and one’s perception belonged to completely independent realms or realities. He believed that general concepts of knowledge were predestined, or placed in the soul before birth even occurred in living things. Plato believed that the cosmos was intelligible, and the the universe was mathematically understandable. He believes that mathematical objects could be seen as perfect forms. Forms, a doctoral of Plato, can be understood as an everyday object or idea, which does not, exists in the everyday realm, but merely is existent in the hypothetical realm or reality.

By using these subjects, he is presents as a understanding American leader that cares about it’s citizens. Bush also emphasized on words like ‘will’ to explain the things that need to be done in the next years. This word expresses the definite stance and determination, the American government will take for anti-terrorism. Facing such a terrible disaster, Bush uses commanding vocabulary to verbally display the governments organized and rational planning for the future. He said “Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done” He again uses the word ‘will’ to reassure the citizens worries over America’s future developments. The word ‘will’ also invites the audience to feel that Bush will lead them towards a pre-determined and promised future that would benefit America and the world. Allowing the Americans to place a greater confidence in him and to support his future campaigns.

George W. Bush, the 43 President of The United States of America, is one of the greatest leaders we have ever seen. In this essay I will describe why, I feel that Mr. Bush is a highly qualified leader for this country. Mr. Bush is highly educated, has the aptitude for being the President and is a great communicator. Mr. Bush is also a person of strong constitution or stability, extremely motivated and cooperative. The later being extremely important when one considers the close ratio of Democrats to Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate. Due to his high level of leadership potential I am of the opinion the US is currently being lead by one of the most capable and qualified candidates of recent memory.

Socrates continues the conversation with Glaucon and now focuses on the obligation of the guardians and philosophers to serve the people as a result of their education.

As the United States prepares for the coming presidential race in 2016, circumstances throw into question which qualities a candidate should possess in order to be successful and make a positive impact on the nation. Looking into the past, one can surmise that the best leaders must be brave, and filled with indomitable courage, compassion, and hope. The president is one leading millions and making key decisions which have enormous ramifications. As the leader of a nation, he or she speaks out in times of joy and crisis, setting the tone for the entire government body.

Photographs, drawings, cartoons and videos cover significant political matters. Photojournalists such as Lynsey Addario present critical political issues that affect the world today. In her book, It’s What I Do, she presents scenes surrounding the fall of prominent political leaders such as Muammar el-Qaddafi. The pictures on pages 4 and 5 of her book, for instance, show the struggles that the rebels went through in their quest to dethrone Qaddafi. She quotes Robert Capa, who once said, “ ‘ If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough’ ” (Lynsey 7) which shows that photographs are significant in the world of journalism. A video such as “Shouting In The Dark” reveals the heinous acts done by the government of Bahrain towards its own citizens. In the video, we see the brutal force used by the government to silence the peaceful protesters. People were beaten, shot, imprisoned, and killed.

In order to compare these great philosophers, it is important that we first of all view their history from an individual perspective.
