Sex, Rhetoric, And The Public Monument

Hammurabi’s Code first implied a woman’s role in marriage, but Assyrian Law directly controls how women are perceived in society with a physical but symbolic cloth. The cloth represents a woman’s sexuality and virginity, as if women were reproductive machines. The Palace Decree is valuable because it shows a rare insight into the lives of upper-class men who weren’t kings, but instead the workers of the King. By castration, men in the palace had proved their lifetime willingness and fidelity to the hierarchy.

It was widely believed that kings had the power to enforce God's works and messages in the country that he ruled. As expressed by King James the First of England,"...kings are...God's lieutenants on earth..."(Document B). Kings are meant to act as God's second in command on earth and enforce God's mission on the people that he rules. According to Bishop Jaques Bousset's Political Treatise,"... the king is sacred, and that to attack him in any way is sacrilege"(Document F). Kings were believed to be sent by God to rule and, therefore, should not be questioned. This belief allowed absolute monarchies to take hold in countries throughout Europe. The rule of these powerful governments allowed prosperity to take hold in

When reading the two chapters I found two rulers who tried to preserve their history through commissioned works of art the first being Naram-Sin, while the other being Gudea. Starting with Naram-Sin, The Stele of Naram-Sin, with stele being an upright stone slab, as described by the textbook on pages 27, and 36, as a depiction of the ruler Naram-Sin memorializing one of his military victory over the Lullubi people. What makes this stele a historical account instead of just a generic battle was inclusion of native trees following a mountain path showing that the stele is depicting a battle. In the stele, the slab uses hierarchal scaling, and religious symbolism to portray his political power as a leader.

The press is definitely not perfect. Who better to let journalists know this than a fellow journalist? Clare Boothe Luce’s introduction of her message to journalists at the Women’s National Press Club utilizes literary devices and techniques such as pronouns, hypophora, anaphora, and antithesis. Luce looks to prepare her audience of female journalists so they respond more positively to her criticism of the American press by giving the reason for her presence and complimenting them. Luce adopts a conversational yet stern tone in order to help incite change in the press.

Religious is the basis, because they kings were chosen by Gods to considered being the legitimate.

The metaphor commonly referred to as “body politic” has been used frequently throughout history to compare the inner workings of religion, government, and society to that of an anatomical body (2?). One of the first known uses of this metaphor dates back to 600 BCE, in Aesop’s fable of the Belly and the Members (1). In this fable, the Hands and Feet stop feeding the Belly, because they feel that the Belly does nothing except eat. This results in the entire body growing so weak that, even if the Hands and Feet did decide to feed the Belly, they did not have the energy to do so. Aesop’s fable serves to show that every person and role in a state is imperative to ensure that the state can run smoothly. Without politicians or monarchy, there would

This allowed for a complex society as the citizens thrived in peace and justice. Source A claims, “When someone wishes to speak to the King, he must kneel before him and bow down; but this is only required of those who have

Throughout the book, Bailey argues that in cities around the country in the 1960’s, the “ordinary” person battled the constant struggle of both private and public sexual behaviors, which came to follow post WWII in America. Throughout the text, Bailey

An example of this is seen as Perpetua is tossed back by Heifer, and then “asks for a pin to fasten her untidy hair: for it was not right that a martyr should die with hair in disorder.” For a woman like Perpetua vanity would’ve not been expected much less during her final chances to fight for her honor. Consequently, the question of whether her acts throughout Passion’s was simply a way to gain power and attention or if it was true devotion to God and Christianity. Although her decision to pause the fight in order to fix her hair can be looked at as “girly”, it also shows a true respect for God not only in Perpetua’s eyes but also in the eyes of Martyrs.

The governing legal, moral and religious codes of ancient civilizations were written and enforced by a minority that exercised power and authority over the majority. This minority consisted of priests, rulers and elites with established power and influence in society. In these codes of early civilizations, there was an overarching emphasis on maintenance of structure and order in society. Simply put, while these codes reflect the conditions, needs and values of the times in which they were formulated, they also unveil the authors’ agendas to preserve their power by maintaining the status quo. Therefore, these codes acknowledge and uphold the prevailing social, gender and racial inequalities as natural conditions of human existence and reveal the manifold biases present in early civilizations.

“For all the followers of Ra Taka had firm breast that stood straight up, ‘big firm breast’ were a stature of power and Ra Taka was to be the strongest; but in his old age his breast began to droop.” “He told his royal guards the Naygas (Naga//Niggas) to siege this ‘Hermesodite’ (having Mono sex organ), this man without breast.” “The king ordered his guards to throw Jahtu into the river of the fire god, a Volcano.” “Jahtu was from the Sun and Moon sect, they respected themselves and wore clothes; unlike the savage Naygas the reptilian’ followers of the beast who walked

"You don 't get the chance to make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great,” Stated by Hillary Clinton during her campaign rally in St. Louis, Missouri to attack candidate Donald Trump from his previous diverse rhetoric. Political Rhetoric has been very popular in today’s society. Politics use this as a platform to criticize other candidates about important points that are essential to the United States and its citizens. Not only does others believe that political rhetoric is out of control but it is a negative form of art. During election time, the media and the internet are critical for candidates because it gives them easy access to the younger audience. Although social media is enormous in today’s society, this is the best way for young voters to make their voices heard. Scott Keeter a research analyst and exit poll analyst for NBS News stated that “Young voters have given the Democratic Party a majority of their votes, and for all three cycles they have been the party’s most supportive age group” (Keeter, 1). According to U.S. Census Bureau over the course of time the rate of younger voters “Dropped from 50.9% percent in 1964 to 38.0 percent in 2012” (U.S. Census Bureau, 2).However, the media continue to evolve with modern society. I believe that rhetoric such as visual political rhetoric helps the youth to get more involved with the political arguments while being educated and entertained at the same time.

In Chapters 2-4 of Political Communication Rhetoric, Government, and Citizens by Dan F. Hahn, the author talks about the different ideologies and talks about definitions. According to Hahn, ideology is society’s belief structure. Ideology can be used in arguments and an example Hahn provided would be apples because of it’s complexity in regards to the variety and so on. One form of ideology is political ideology. Political ideology is society’s political belief structure. The two primary political ideologies in the United States are liberalism and conservatism. Liberalism is founded by two religious arguments and those two arguments are we are created free by God; no one lower can command us and one can make a good mistake as long as one choose between right and wrong. For conservatism, it’s founded by the rules that God provide for humans; no one lower can alter the rules and one can make a good mistake as long as it is in

In addition to the connection with the divine power, rulers in ancient world had one very distinct feature. Almost always rulers were men, with very few exceptions. Thus it is clearly seen that people at that time lived in patriarchal society. Moreover, rulers promoted patriarchy implicitly or sometimes even explicitly through their rules. For example, according to
