Rhetorical Analysis Of Hillary Clinton's Speech

“Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are humans rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard,” Hillary Clinton once spoke. Hillary Clinton was appointed to speak at the Women Plenary Session at the 4th United Nations World Conference in 1995. In her speech, Clinton speaks to shine a light on the unfair treatment and to educate on what rights women should have, as well as to strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take control of their own destinies. This powerful message is directed to the audience of various world leaders at the United Nations 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session in Beijing, China. In her speech, “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights,” Hillary Clinton uses emotion to educate, persuade, and make the audience of world leaders feel something, known as pathos. She also repeats words and phrases to put an emphasis on certain injustices, which evokes the audience to want to make a change for women’s rights, making the speech effective.

First Lady Michelle Obama has always been one known for her inspiring speeches and her commitment to women’s rights. In Manchester, New Hampshire, she is seen once again standing up for women and for this country by opening the public’s eyes to disrespect Donald Trump has shown for us. Throughout the entire speech the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, ethos, and logos, are all used effectively and powerfully to get her message across. She mainly targets the audience of empowered women but she also addresses the effect that voting for Donald Trump will have for men and women. Through the rhetorical appeals and the tone, she sets for her audience, Michelle Obama campaigns for the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Initially in this speech Hillary begins by expressing gratitude to all those who have helped further her campaign. The Stanford dictionary of philosophy describes it as

In this video Michelle Obama makes use of all three appeals, in an attempt to persuade the audience, to agree that Barak Obama was the best candidate for the Presidency. Ethos is identified first as she is introduced, as her brother presents her as a highly esteemed entity by her immediate family; thus, Americas next first lady. She also portrays herself as a person with high morals and values, she elaborates on how she and her husband were raised alike, believing that you will reach your goals if you work hard, respecting others no matter the differences; thus, delivering what you promise or say. Later in the video, she identifies herself as a lawyer that had worked at a major law firm. This elaborate presentation of herself is most

Her main purpose is to appeal everyone listening to the speech, especially, the government that women’s rights are human rights. This is explicitly stated as a main claim, or conclusion, one of the paragraphs in the speech. “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights once and for all” (Clinton ). Clinton explicitly states her main claim so that there is no confusion about what her purpose is. During times of an inequality towards women, a clear statement of purpose will benefits a speaker like Clinton, because all the women needs her guidance. Clinton’s main claim is supported through deductive logic in the forms of an enthymeme. She states that women work all day like men; they work in home, or on the job, or in the community, as mother, wives, workers, and leaders. The unstated premise that necessarily leads to the conclusion is that if women could do everything that men could do than there should be equal rights. Her second premise is that women are human to. There are many women who get underpaid, or don’t get treatment, or get abuse, or babies are suffocated just because they are born girls. Therefore, it leads to the conclusion that women are humans too and women’s rights should be the human

Hilary Clinton is a strong and effective choice to serve as a messenger and manager of women’s rights globally. She has proven herself as a fierce advocate for women’s rights due to her strong and consistent record of effectively championing women’s rights, economically and politically. She has remained consistent throughout her career as an advocate for gender equality, human rights, and women’s rights policies. Throughout her time in the Senate, she advocated women’s rights and used her status around the world to shine a light on issues of importance for women and girls. Hillary Clinton’s unwavering stance has supported that women lives are just as valuable as any other lives, women’s rights are human’s rights, and anything less is unacceptable. Hilary Clinton understands that the world needs to recognize the unfair injustice being committed against women’s rights. She chooses to speak out, instead of remaining silent. The world must understand and recognize that in the fight for justice, by remaining silent and turning a blind eye, which is considered the same as supporting injustices. Hillary Clinton suggested in her speech the world should no longer ignore the wrongs being globally committed against women, around the globe in today’s society, the issues of inhumanity and injustices are rising as the value on women lives declines.

Pathos is important in this speech when you are trying to change others views on women’s rights.

“I have met new mothers in Indonesia, who come together regularly in their village to discuss nutrition, family planning, and baby care. I have met working parents in Denmark who talk about the comfort they feel in knowing that their children can be cared for in safe, and nurturing after-school centers. I have met women in South Africa who helped lead the struggle to end apartheid and are now helping to build a new democracy. I have met with the leading women of my own hemisphere who are working every day to promote literacy and better health care for children in their countries. I have met women in India and Bangladesh who are taking out small loans to buy milk cows, or rickshaws, or thread in order to create a livelihood for themselves and their families. I have met the doctors and nurses in Belarus and Ukraine who are trying to keep children alive in the aftermath of chernobyl”(Clinton 2). Hillary is emphasizing who she has met even though they are all different people. She also shows patterns of parallelism in the quote “We are the primary caretakers for most of the world’s children and elderly. Yet much of the work we do is not valued -- not by economists, not by historians, not by popular culture, not by government leaders”(Clinton 2). By repeating not by she's emphasizing the ways in which work isn't valued.

All around the world women are crying out, claiming "that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate form human rights," (Hillary Clinton -- Tumulty, 1997). The abuses females endure are found everywhere in places like Senegal, Bangladesh, and Berjing, China. Abortion, denial of political rights, and suppression of speech (Tumulty) are forces upon women daily. But feminism has taken a strong hold of the women around the world, giving them hope for equal rights in the future.
