Rhetorical Analysis Of A Political Party

There are many ways to convey a message to readers. Often times authors, speech writers, etc., refer to Aristotle’s three main concepts of rhetoric, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Ethos is considered to be the, “credibility,” of the author. Pathos is the idea of, “emotional appeal,” to the audience. Finally, Logos is the translated as the, “logic,” involved when making a point. All forms of rhetoric have at least one of these concepts, while good arguments incorporate a well balanced mixture of the three.

With the inauguration of Donald Trump rapidly approaching, there has been a much needed resurgence of interest in the progressive movement around the country, as well as an awakening to the need of an actual revolution by more moderate liberals. The Republican sweep of all levels of government indicates an all too familiar conservative backlash against the social progress that has been steadily building over the last eight years. Historically, this has ultimately led to the empowerment of emboldened racists and bigots of all ilks, which we are presently seeing.

Steve Chapman, a columnist and editor of the Chicago Tribune, perfectly depicts in his article the ever-growing hostility that America faces, not limiting its tensions to that of which it faces with our foreign adversaries, specifically North Korea, but including that of its internal enemy: the philosophy of racial superiority. Chapman appeals to those who stand against the hatred and prejudice that has come to light on behalf of white nationalists, taking into account the latest incidents of Charlottesville, Virginia. The journalist mentions that, in spite of the recent occurrences that have overtaken Americans in a sudden mental war between differentiating factions, white nationalists face an imminent defeat. Instead of elaborating on how

Kevin McCullough’s article, “Governing Without Restrictions” (2015) argues in opposition of the “without limits” utopia of the Obama administration. McCullough supports his opinion with examples of how the Obama administration fights for policies that continually strip away dignity, while claiming their opponents are actually the morally questionable ones. He hopes to argue his opinion that restrictions on issues of sexual practice are necessary in order to share and preserve his supposed “family values”. The columnist speaks in a sarcastic and condescending tone to his liberal opponents, which supports that he is ideally speaking to people with similar conservative beliefs that wish to push their “right-wing” agenda.

The author focused on the hatred that has spread in America these past years and why white supremacists had enough of losing the basic principle of white supremacy. The writer gathered information by analyzing the event that took place in Charlottesville and the president’s speech Tuesday night. The audience for this article was for the people who were wondering where this argument stands in our country.

It is very common among the United States’ political sphere to rely heavily on T.V. commercials during election season; this is after all the most effective way to spread a message to millions of voters in order to gain their support. The presidential election of 2008 was not the exception; candidates and interest groups spent 2.6 billion dollars on advertising that year from which 2 billion were used exclusively for broadcast television (Seelye 2008.) Although the effectiveness of these advertisements is relatively small compared to the money spent on them (Liasson 2012), it is important for American voters to think critically about the information and arguments presented by these ads. An analysis of the rhetoric in four of the political

One does not have to look far to see the effects nationalism has had on American society. Racism and discrimination are major issues that America has struggled with throughout history. Some nationalist movements have developed into several different groups. Today, groups vary from peaceful civic nationalist groups like the Republican Party to hate groups like the American Freedom Party. Members of extremist groups often commit hate crimes or violate others civil liberties. According to the FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report, 58.9% of the single-bias incidents reported were motivated by race or ethnic bias (FBI). Hate crimes are especially heinous because of the devastating impact they have on communities and families. Today, extremists and politicians
