President Reag A Leader And Ethical Leader

Although, he was the one who put social and political pressure on the Soviet Union, specifically Mikhail Gorbachev, to tear down the Berlin Wall by proclaiming in front of the wall to the people of West Germany, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” This act empowered the people of East Germany to physically attack and dismantle their portion of the wall, as well as the very symbol of the grips of communism itself, without fear of arrest or persecution. This act also empowered the Soviet satellite states to begin talking about breaking away from the Soviet Union, greatly weakening Gorbachev’s power and authority. While he pressured Gorbachev in this way, throughout his presidency, he also spoke diplomatically with Mikhail Gorbachev and negotiated a weapons treaty with him. Gorbachev and Reagan signed the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty. This treaty required both the United States and the Soviet Union to destroy their nuclear weapons therefore reducing the risk of nuclear war and increasing global safety. In this instance, the Soviet Union and the United States were able to work together for the good of the world despite being in the midst of the Cold War. Perhaps because of this as well as his ability to speak eloquently about national issues in front of large crowds he was called the great communicator. His successes,

President Ronald Reagan’s speech “A Time for Choosing” was my selection for this assignment. Prior to his presidential election, Ronald Reagan was catapulted forward in his career by his motivational speech later titled by some simply as “The Speech”. At the time, Regan had recently changed from a long-standing Democrat to a Republican. Although his speech was unable to prevent President Lyndon Johnson’s ultimate win, it was very memorable due to the emotionally powerful and deeply moving presentation. Creating an unknown, yet powerful pull for his inevitable position as President. By conveying his points with such an emotional drive, “A Time for Choosing” became one of the most important speeches of his career. The soon to be President delivered this speech with strong words many Americans were not prepared to hear but came to accept. A speech that created many questions and provided many answers managed to express a level of emotion that seemed urgently calm. As one of President Reagans greatest speeches “A Time for Change” provided the world with a preview of a President in the making.

In conclusion, President Reagan was operative in convincing his audience that he was the right choice for who should lead the U.S. I firmly believe that Ronald Reagan was the last good President we had in office. He not only kept to his word, but also was able to inspire the American people and remind them what hope was and what it looked and felt like. Shown through this piece, it is evident that he was an eloquent communicator and an overall persuasive orator. By using pathos, rhetorical questioning,

Thesis Statement: Ronald Reagan’s presidency was one of the most successful in United States history because he revitalized the failing economy, used his remarkable communication skills to reestablish America’s lost morale, and even played a vital role in ending the Cold War.

One of Reagan’s main concerns was the Soviet Union. Reagan stated, “The march of freedom and democracy...will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history ...”12 All through his term he worked to collapse the Union, to end the Cold War, and to tear down the Berlin Wall. Margaret Thatcher commented that “Ronald Reagan won the Cold War without firing a shot”.10 Reagan set up the collapse of the Soviet Union in a couple of ways. First, he put more funds into the U.S. military, forcing the Soviets to do the same.11 second, he was confident that the U.S.S.R was crumbling and failing even when those around him believed that Communism was strong. Third, he was not intimidated by the Soviets and, while he respectfully met and listened to Gorbachev, he was not wavering and was determined. Even though many factors contributed to the fall of Communism, Reagan sped the process up and the Union officially fell apart in

Despite the increase of defense projects and counter-Soviet initiatives, Reagan did desire for negotiation and improve relations between Washington and Kremlin (Rossinow, 224). Soon afterward, during his second term, Reagan held meetings with leader Mikhail Gorbachev, with whom he negotiated a treaty to eliminate a range of nuclear weapons. Between the two men was a forged relationship- as a partnership, as friends. Reagan, surprisingly, even suggested that both powers should do what they can to ensure that such weapons entirely removed from the world (Rossinow, 232)- although the proposal 's implementation did not work, it still did prove interestingly of Reagan 's thinking to establish disarmament, even if it never happened. Nonetheless, ending the war after so many decades of tension was a monumental triumph for the US and American policy.

Hours after the national disaster, President Reagan sat behind his desk, and steadfastly delivered a set-piece speech from the Oval office. He invited the American audience to listen with a formal, but respectful introduction “Ladies and Gentlemen”. His tone was firm, and as he calmly addressed the tragic events from earlier in the day. The opening lines set a somber tone for the rest of the speech as he stated this “day for mourning and remembering” and declaring the tragedy a “national loss”, But President Reagan did not want his fellow Americans to just dwell on this tragedy. He used it an opportunity remind the next generation to

Ronald Reagan has the belief that America is a superior nation. He believes that it is the center of morality and that it has the role of ensuring that its best ideals are spread to the rest of the world. He believed that people and especially the Americans are moral enough such that they were not in a position to oppress other people. He believes that the American children need to pray in

Ronald Reagan was the 40th president of the United States of America. Before becoming interested in politics, he was an actor born in Tampico, Illinois (Freidel, & Sidey). In 1966, Reagan was elected governor of California, and that was the beginning of his political future (Freidel, & Sidey). Reagan strove through foreign policy while building America strong thought his words, “peace through strength” (Freidel, & Sidey). Pushing through an assassin-attempt, Reagan achieved great things as told in his farewell address. Ronald Reagan uses thoughtful organization, emotional appeal, repetition, and allusion in his farewell address to the nation, in reason of his termination in presidency as well

In 1981, a time that was recovering and healing from the Vietnam War, Ronald Reagan was elected president and gave his first Inaugural address. Despite what many Inaugural addresses tend to do, Reagan decided to not just talk about his plans for the country, but take the country by the reins and lead it triumphantly into conservatism. Ronald Reagan’s first Inauguration address, evoked and pointed out that the United States’ greatest weapon is far from a gun, but rather “Freedom” (Woolley). Through the use of allusion and repetition, along with sudden pauses and nostalgic patriotism over words to demonstrate love for fallen heros, Reagan secured many future voters and motivated many citizens to come together and unite as Americans to reveal the hero that is within us all (Brockway).

When it comes to the job of the President, character is everything. Character is doing what is right even when the whole world seems to be against you. One aspect of the Reagan presidency, which set him

But the idea itself was geneous. It sounded so intimidating to the soviets that they wouldn't dare to attack us. Although this one act alone didn't equal the end to the Cold War (which is highly debated about) it still proves that point that Reagan was no dumb president. He used his strong intelligence and unique strategies to end the war in a way that would have the least amount of death and sacrifice. If it wasn't for these momentous methods, our country today could have been left in a much worse

The United States during the mid to late 70’s was in a constant state of alert; millions of citizens waiting for the piercing sounds of the air raid sirens to slice through the night air. America was in need of a leader, someone who could unify a divided country and save it from crushing economic failure. One man saw his need and stood up to the task, his name is President Ronald Reagan. Reagan rose to power as President during one of the most critical periods in not only American history, but also, World history: The arms standoff of the cold war. His actions as a unifier in the homeland and as a diplomat in foreign halls changed the way Americans and citizens of the world lived their lives.

Americans have become used to politicians who will not go against their party’s line. Instead of having numerous free thinking elected officials who come together to ensure the welfare of society, we have two parties that control almost everything. This was not how Theodore Roosevelt led our country. He was a visionary and ethical leader. This paper explains why by describing Theodore Roosevelt’s use of visionary leadership to protect America’s natural resources by being an emotionally flexible leader and using his inspirational motivation. Theodore Roosevelt was an Ethical Leader because he put service before self by resigning from the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy to fight in the Spanish American War and was a free thinker who went against his party to protect the welfare of society. Theodore Roosevelt has personal relevance in my development as a leader by modeling service before self and allowing me to see how I can improve my inspirational motivation. In order to understand Theodore Roosevelt as a leader, you should first know the impact of his visionary leadership.
