Hillary Clinton presented a speech, “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights”, on September 5, 1995 at the 4th World Conference for Women in Beijing, China. This is a conference that comes together every five years. Pathos Clinton starts out by saying, “If women are free from violence….. Have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish. And when their families flourish, communities and nations do as well.” (Clinton “Women’s Rights) When the audience hears this statement, feelings are brought out of them. A flourishing nation is something that every single one of its citizens would be proud to be apart of. By using this assumption that a positive outcome would come from helping the women, she is using the emotions of the audience, otherwise known as pathos, to create a sense of urgency to contribute to a way to create this outcome and to listen to what she has to …show more content…
She tells the audience about her first hand experiences with the situation. This list is full of instances such as when she met with the women in South Africa who played a part in the fight for democracy, or when she met with women who spent their life promoting better literacy and health for children (Clinton). Clinton uses these to build her credibility, or ethos, and that she has a right to be speaking on this issues and be trusted. Additionally, she asserts her character by expanding on why she has taken it upon herself to work towards a better life for other women. First, she expands on exactly who she is speaking for, “for the mothers… for the older women… for the women who are working all night.” (Clinton) Then she boldly declares, “Speaking to you today, I speak for them.” (Clinton) This is a very powerful statement. This lays out her entire purpose for her speech. With this statement, she is ensuring that the audience knows her desire as a person to talk out for these
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.
Women’s rights were not always a part of society as it may seem in today’s world. Suffrage can date all the way back to 1776. Women had to fight for their rights and privileges, hard and for many years. In the late 1800’s women were seen as much less than a male and had no voice. Women were arrested, prosecuted and put down for wanting more freedom and power for their gender. As you see in many suffrage ads, women were desperate and wanted so badly the same equality as men. A few women in particular stood up for what they believed was right and fought hard. Although it took far too long and over 100 years, in 1920 women were finally given the opportunity to share the same voting rights as men. History had been made.
She states many of her opinions on how the press should stop telling and spreading false events and ideas in the newspaper. When given the chance she tells her audience journalist about how the American press about her feels and how she feels challenged by them. Overall, the beginning of her speech tells the audience how she is going to state information and how they should listen to
Furthermore, She provides a strong tone that evaluates the potential of a woman. She presents her speech with facts and with confidence and passion. Her tone is trying to motivate young women to act up and take action. Along the way in her speech she makes up a sarcastic tone by claiming that “[women]do not have executive ability, orderly minds, stability, leadership skills, and they are too emotional”(Chisholm, 149). The use of this tone provides affirmation that conveys young women to feel capable of doing anything that men can do. These words don’t define the potential of women nor their abilities. Women are strong, women can take anything, women are smart, women have leadership. Just like Chisholm, women have a voice to speak up and advocate for a change. Throughout her positives tones, she also presents an emotional appeal to the youth who are going to college and are struggling. In reality, some women don’t get the same opportunity as others.“...when a young woman graduates from college…she is likely to have a frustrating and demanding experience ahead of her”(Chisholm, 149). Women face challenges with their eligibility when applying to jobs. Looking for a job is not as easy for women, it takes time and persistence. Unlike men, who are seen as
The use of pathos in a speech gives the audience assurance that the speaker understands the depth of the issues in topic, as well as sustains the argument by giving a visual that makes the logical claims stronger and more memorable. Clinton outlines the severity of issues for women around the world, quoting, “women comprise more than half the world’s population, 70% of the world’s poor, and two-thirds of those who are not taught
“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.
She makes an emotional connection with her speech. In fact, she uses personal stories referring to her husband, Barack Obama and her two daughters. Michelle Obamas says, “See, because at that moment, I realized that our time in the White House would form the foundation for who they would become, and how well we managed this experience could truly make or break them.” She uses her daughters as a great example to connect with those supporters who have kids. She gives the example of how she has advised her own daughters to ignore the questions regarding their father’s citizenship and faith. The type of ignorance and cruelty is something that doesn’t have to be explained to our kids. She goes into detail and uses herself as an example how being the First Lady means great responsibility and being a great role model to her
Hillary relates to them by listing responsibilities that women uphold. “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 women in India and Bangladesh who are taking out small loans to buy milk cows, or rickshaws, or thread to create a livelihood for them themselves and their families” (Clinton 2). Using repetition, she starts the accounts with “I have met women in…….” to show credibility, she has met women in different positions. By doing so Clinton, allows the audience immediately to know what women are capable of doing, despite unfair treatment.
In this address Clinton uses a combination of all three to try to convince people of her being the right candidate for the job. Clinton’s rhetoric depends largely on the fact of her being relatable in comparison to the millionaire Trump who makes up the much envied American and criticized elite.
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.
On September 5, 1995, Hilary Clinton gave a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference for women's equality, in Beijing, China. Present at the conference were were, 189 governments and more than 5000 representatives of non governmental organizations. The issue that Mrs. Clinton is addressing in this speech is the disrespect towards women and the violation of their rights. She uses pathos an emotional appeal, to get her audience to feel the same way that she does about the issue. She also uses exigence to bring the audience deeper into the conversation. She has been fighting for women’s rights for many years, and she wants her audience to realize how much of a problem it has become and that it needs to be stopped. Her goal is to make her audience believe that women’s rights are human rights through exigence and pathos. Mrs. Clinton also uses the rhetorical element of kairos in her speech. She picks a perfect moment in time, and location to deliver her speech. Though women’s rights is a problem all over the world, it is especially bad in China where the speech is taking place. Clinton is trying to address the issue where it is most relevant. There are many examples of emotional appeals in this speech, and that is how Mrs. Clinton convinces her audience that what she is articulating on is how this issue should be resolved. Through her speech Mrs. Clinton uses pathos to show how women are important to
Admittedly, Hilary Clinton has spoken around the world about the challenges that women have faced. However, it is the continued struggle of American women that inspires and fuels her passion and fight for equality in this male-dominated culture. Also, while married to bill Clinton who was actively involved in women’s right, Hilary advocated for a standard of equality that embrace all colors and cultures. . Clinton establishes ethos when she states, “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I've had the opportunity to learn
In fact, everyone wants to be loved, admired, valued, and recognized and accepted by other; especially, now, women want to prove their abilities, powers, and stand up to society. In her speech, she highly mentioned about the benefits for women and how she will work with them to make that come true. Thus, she will get more interested from women; especially, young women. She also mentioned about other community services that she worked with to help other people such as disability students. Additionally, she argued back to Trump that how he divided people and this country by fearing of others and building the wall to stop immigrants. She wants to help and build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants. By that way, she uses all of these desires from their needs to get to more people to accept her judgement to him and follow her as the only good
Therefore, she was able to accomplish much by allocating the whole audience, not just the females. Furthermore, she was able to send the message that everyone has a choice. Certainly everyone in the audience knows that they have a choice, but Michelle Obama made everyone feel like they were the determining vote and the difference between a successful, powerful future and a failing, incapable future. She appealed to their emotions, hearts, and minds in order to make them feel like they have a voice and can make a change and do what she was telling them to do. She was arousing them in the direction she wanted them to go
In the midst of the 2016 election, First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama gave a speech in New Hampshire regarding the candidates. Donald Trump was facing Hillary Clinton; and in support, “Michelle Obama presented a Speech On Donald Trump’s Alleged Treatment Of Women.” As stated in the title, Trump had recently made rude remarks regarding women, and Michelle Obama was using this as a learning lesson for anyone looking to vote for Trump. She made it a point to vote for Hillary by not only stating why not to vote for Trump, but also listing her many accomplishments throughout her lifetime. Michelle Obama was able to create an effective and persuasive speech by strongly stating Trump’s wrongdoings, passionately listing Clinton’s achievements, and frightening us of the possible future for our children.
