Pope Francis Pros And Cons

On Tuesday June 28th, president Obama attended the North American Leaders' Summit with Mexico’s President, Enrique Peña Nieto and Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau as the leaders of North America. Why did the three leaders stand together? The plot to the summit was for their ambitious new pledged. The three leaders further harmonized trade to boost clean energy production. Moved and turn into a thesis. Can we stay unified after Obama is out the White House? Will it be possible to continue unification as the United States faces the challenge of Brexit, strong presidential leadership as we near the presidential election?

In the upcoming 2016 election, there are many political topics that voters may see as more important than another. Voters are normally inclined to elect someone with the same look on immigration or economic problems, so that they can influence the world the way they would like. The author of “One political issue matters more than the rest, and it’s climate change,” Courtney Butterworth, argues that the topic that should be a priority and influence our decision making the most is that of climate change. In her article Courtney argues that by focusing on the issue of climate change we can help the economy. She gives the fact that “coral reefs alone generate about $375 billion per year.” This statistic may be true be true but is this the most important matter of the campaigns? Courtney also states that in 2000 “more than 150,000 people died due to the effects of climate change” but is this the only way people are dying in our country? This essay will not only show how climate change has affected our world, but also how other debates are more beneficial to the campaigns.

Democrats and Republicans highly differ when comparing views on climate change. The Democrats accept human role in climate change while many Republicans question if climate change is even real. In the 2016 Democratic Party Platform (27), they state “in the first 100 days of the next administration, the president will convene a summit of the words best engineers, climate scientists, policy experts, activists, and indigenous communities to chart a course to solve the climate crisis.” This is highlighted previously when President Obama, a Democrat, traveled to Paris for a convention about climate change where he met other leaders around the world to make a plan to help fix the issues surrounding climate change. This shows the basic principles of the Democratic Party as internationalist and having the large government—as it states in the

The public discussion on climate change has become so polarized that some scientists don't even acknowledge there is a debate. Climate scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Gavin Schmidt, is one of those people.

This year’s presidential election is facing much controversy. The evangelicals are a vote candidates strive to earn along with many other special interest groups. Donald Trump, the nominee for the Republican party, met with prominent evangelical leaders of America on June 22, 2016 to discuss many of the issues that he will face if elected president. It was a closed conversation that included Jerry Falwell Jr., David Jeremiah, Ben Carson, Franklin Graham, and other evangelical leaders. In the conversation, Donald Trump gains the vote of evangelical leaders and their followers not through his extensive knowledge or political background, but by appealing to their emotions, using precise and compelling language, and convincing the audience that

In the article “The Anti-Trump Cometh” the author Timothy Egan simply compares the Pope and his simply humble lifestyle to Donald Trump’s expensive money hungry lifestyle. Money is all around us some of us have more and some have less. Of course as a teenage in this generation living among the other middle class I see how things like this argument makes people think. Both of these men have plenty of money yet one seems to let it go to his head while the other one chooses to be humble. The author throughout the piece presents a solid argument about the republican candidate Donald Trump and how Pope Francis doesn’t splurge his money or flaunt it to prove he is rich and carries more authority through the use of pathos.

Richard A. Epstein is a frequent contributor to the Hoover Institution, and his piece, “Scott Pruitt And The Environment”, hopes to ease hysteria over President Donald Trump’s selection of Pruitt as the 14th administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Pruitt denies the importance of climate change, he is a pro-industry former attorney general of Oklahoma. Epstein dances around rhetoric on both sides of the polarized climate change debate, creating a discourse which seems unbiased to the casual reader. This rhetorical analysis will strive to keep its proverbial ear to the ground and listen to the elephants hustling in the distance. References leading to right-wing contributors, language that evokes a sense of loss, and taking

One topic that is of constant conversation all throughout politics is climate change. Republicans are often characterized by their firm stance on this issue, mostly denying its existence or validity. This has become a

The election of 2000 took place during a time that was mostly peaceful, unemployment rates were historically low, but however, there were a record number of terrorist threats (Muhlhausen). Despite all of these headlining topics presidential candidate Al Gore and Vice President Joe Lieberman were far more concerned about global climate change (“Al”). Gore was, and still, is very passionate about this topic (“Al”, 9). He has challenged the two biggest polluters in the world, China and The United States to, “Make the boldest move in climate change.” Figure 5

Out of the many Republicans running in the 2016 presidential election, there is one man whose “whole life has been shaped by moral absolutes” thus making his "convictions shape his character” and “shape his policies” (CP Opinion). He has pledged to do many things, from killing Common Core and restoring common sense to opposing and vetoing any and all efforts to increase taxes. This man, Mike Huckabee, ran strongly but unsuccessfully in 2008, but is now running once again in the 2016 presidential election.

Unsurprisingly, Cruz begins with an emphatic “God bless the great state of Iowa!” and follows that with an additional, more intense religious appeal, bowing his head and humbly acknowledging “Let me first of all say: to God be the glory.” Both lines are met with enormous applause, and the reasons are obvious: Iowa has a particularly large religious population, and Cruz’s success in the state was largely predicated on his own religious appeal: both his father, a preacher, and Bob Vander Plaats, the head of The Family Leader, an influential Christian group in Iowa, campaigned extensively for him. Of course, these two lines appeal to religious voters watching on television, and the noisy applause that meets them illustrates the enthusiasm of his supporters. Anticipating the coming primaries, Cruz quickly shifts his focus to appeal to the nation as a whole, asserting that his win proves “the next president of the United States will not be chosen by the media, will not by chosen by the Washington establishment, will not be chosen by the lobbyists, but will be chosen by the most incredible, powerful force where all sovereignty resides in our nation—by we the people, the American people!” In doing so, Cruz appeals to logos: his praise of his voters as independent, combined with an

"I am not the Catholic candidate for president," said participants. "I am the Democratic Party candidate for President who also happens to be a Catholic. I 'm not talking about my church on public matters and the church does not speak for me. "

Environmental issues such as climate change affect life on Earth every day. As Leonardo DiCaprio discusses in his speech during the Paris Agreement for Climate Change Signing at the United Nations, the only way to diminish global warming, one of the most critical issues of this generation, is to take unprecedented action. By informing the audience with an effective strategy, DiCaprio persuades the delegates to make the right decision that will mold the future. His evidence compliments the coherent use of ethos, logos, and pathos. Climate change is a universal matter that can either persist, or be put to an end.

I would like to compare/contrast Pope Francis vs. Pope Benedict XVI. During his first year in office, Pope Francis has become one of the world’s greatest social innovators. Many have celebrated Pope Francis as a spiritual leader, diplomat, and a politician. Pope Francis is a leader to start something new by launching a global campaign against hunger. Using social media, such as YouTube, Pope Francis sent his message out to elect a day, December 10th, for a world-wide rally. Additionally, Pope Francis is known for sending out tweets @Pontifex. By the use of social media, the Pope has captured attention all across the globe. Take for instance the time Pope Francis washed the feet of Muslim women in prison. Bloggers went wild with photos that

A meeting discussing global warming and the ongoing climate change (and the impact CO2 emissions have on the growing problem) has been in session in Peru for the past few days. Dozens of world leaders are gathering to discuss possible changes that can be implemented to halt the increase in temperature seen around the globe. However, many prominent scientists have stated that it may be too late for these world leaders to make any significant impacts (Associated). These scientists, and many other people around the world, believe that humans have contributed significantly to global warming, and as a result mankind needs to do whatever it can to combat this ongoing crisis. Nearly 3,500 miles away from Peru, United States Senator James Inhofe is in Washington D.C., representing Oklahoma in the United States Senate. Senator Inhofe is one of the loudest preachers of the belief that global warming is not the dire threat that so many scientists make it out to be. Inhofe has claimed that it is “arrogant for people to believe human beings are able to change what He (God) is doing in the climate” (Tashman). The Senator believes that only God controls the climate and the environment, and to even think that humans are impacting the earth’s climate is misguided (Tashman). These two opposing viewpoints bring with them questions of religion, politics, human responsibility, and ultimately the fate of the planet. On one side, there are those who say that the science is so concrete, and the
