Ted Rall's Argument Analysis

Firstly, she uses an unemotional tone to promote her credibility as a woman politician. Instead of using flowery language and going into a fit of hysteria, which the audience expected from a woman speaker, she used concise vocabulary and kept a level head. She speaks “briefly and simply” to also show the urgency of this crisis facing the nation. In addition, she states, “I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.” This shows the audience that she wants a Republican victory, but without using tactics of the Democrats. Margaret Chase Smith remains poised, proving this is not a fit of hysteria, which gains credibility from the American public.

Gerald Graff is a professor of English and education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Graff, in his essay, emphasizes the importance for instructors to teach and increase enjoyable courses that students shall truly understand. Graff assures that all kids have hidden intellectualism trying to emerge from within, and as a teacher he feels partly accountable to help those kids develop their competencies in educational work. The essence of Graff’s argument is for students to know that intellectualism lurks within them all, and they need to implement their potential at school. Furthermore, he enriches the essay based totally on his own life experiences, along with his hidden intellectualism, while he attended school during the anti-intellectualism

Since the dawn of mankind, clusters of innovations throughout history have allowed for societal progression at an explosive rate. While primarily fostering a centrifugal system of advancements; humans’ interests in expansion is spiraling out of control. Throughout history elements of collapse can be traced through civilizations and natural resources. Wright’s argument posits humans have hyperextended their utilization of resources at a rate that cannot be replenished, therein by setting up the world for the largest ecological collapse in history (Wright, 2004, pg. 130-131). Due to the cyclical process of past collapse and reformation humans have an advantage to rectify our current consumption rates ultimately avoiding a fate similar to past societies (Wright, 2004, pg. 131). As such Wright’s argument should frame larger discussions of responsible citizenship.

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.

Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is known throughout the world for the astounding things she has accomplished, not only in the White House, but out. She is full of passion for whatever she sets as her goal. Her confidence and constant motivational talks set a crowd on fire and her vision for the future leaves most encouraged for they know that she’s on their side. She is constantly aware of what others think of her and works her hardest to make the world a better place and gain the trust of the people. Hillary Rodham Clinton was chosen by her husband to be the leader of the Health Care Reform and supervised research, investigatory trips, financial reports, numerous committees composed of medical and insurance professionals, lawmakers and

Jon Cozart begins his satire of the 2016 political campaigns by targeting on Hillary Clinton first. In order to understand the claims, he makes in the piece it is necessary to have an understanding of all of the different events that were happening during the campaign. Without an understanding of the political climate throughout the campaigns, Cozart’s claims are not as potent. Specifically, in Hillary’s section he uses her focus on women’s rights and her reputation as shifty as the foundation for his argument. Jon Cozart believes Hillary to be power hungry and egotistical and uses rhetorical tropes and schemes to paint this picture of Hillary.

American politics has always proved to be a difficult venue to measure success, there are limited amounts of numbers to quantify, and individual’s careers are often replaceable and short-lived in the face of controversy. In his book Outliers, Malcom Gladwell defines his version of success as his idea of an outlier: a man or women that does things out of the ordinary (Gladwell 17). Clinton, a political phoenix, is a woman who rises above the flames of politics and scandals. Hillary Clinton’s legacy exemplifies a successful outlier in American politics in multiple ways: by recreating a favorable public image after the infamous presidential affair, becoming electable and having a well-respected career in the Senate, humbly accepting the Secretary of State position from her former opponent soon after the devastating loss in the 2008 Democratic Primary, to persevering through the challenges of the State Department, and finally, to be considered the immediate 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee without formally announcing her decision.

Professor George Frisvold develops his argument by illustrating the facts through graphs. His use of statistics supports his point that current agricultural systems are insufficient in conserving water. Because of the current climate change, water conservation has gained importance. Frisvold presents analyses of current strategies and suggests how national level changes in order to provide the change in the government’s involvement in water conservation in agriculture. The intended audience is readers that are interested in the environment, and more specifically interested or involved in the conservation of natural resources. The issue of agriculture’s involvement in the environment has many different effects. In this precis writing process

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.

If voters were to review past presidential candidates’ advertisements, they would be guaranteed to come across instances where someone’s words were twisted and turned against them by their opposing party. This is a classic use of manipulation to make oneself appear to be the “good-guy.” Hence, it is not surprising that this has not changed in the 2016 election. However, what has changed is that there is a woman running for president—she’s cunning, but her arguments are distorted. With clips of girls evaluating their figures while playing interviews with harsh words, Clinton asks, “Is this the president we want for our daughters?” In one of her new ads, “Mirrors,” Hillary Clinton follows suit and manipulates potential voters into a prejudiced opinion of Donald Trump by taking his words out of context to exploit him.

Russel, debating J. B. S. Haldane, a biochemist, argued that as science progressed, moral progress must also occur. Using tools capable of extreme consequences without the morality required is disaster waiting to happen. The tools provided by science, used for moral and proper purpose can be the greatest boon to society, Russel argues. Nevertheless, used without moral intentions, untold damage can be done. To allow a group to hold powers such as cures for disease, without checks in place to ensure morality within that group, gives the ability to hold hostage the rest of the populace. This kind of power, given the nature of human greed and selfishness must be avoided, Russel argues.

To be considered free in American society, according to Sandel’s definition of a procedural republic, freedom relies on an individual’s participation in self-government. For those who support the procedural republic they encourage civic virtues, such as educating ones self about the public and the ability to debate about the common good. This can be seen as a responsibility to citizens. Therefore, one may understand this as both a social and civic matter, as it requires citzens to posses as sense of belonging in their community, thus guiding them away from pursuing their own interests and focusing on the common good. Thus, just as Sandel discusses the qualities of shaping of what kind of citizens are formed, Glendon claims “law can and should

"The fact is within poker, each time you shuffle the deck, it produces a component of luck that surpasses it essentially to being far more a chance-dominated game than a skill-dominated game," stated King.

In the article, Clinton’s Candidacy Defined by Conflicting Portraits by Albert R. Hunt, it summarizes the image that Hillary Clinton portrays throughout her political campaign in the view of other people. As a person, Hillary seems to be very intelligent an above all things very knowledgeable on topics about foreign issues. Even so, she has her faults because some of her actions are suspicious and overall dangerous in that not she does not do tasks properly. Her faults carry into her political campaign too since she lacks the potential to be persuasive and have keen political instincts. This seems to be the contrary of her husband Bill Clinton and President Obama, but even so in the eyes of others she seems to listen to the people and focus more on the inside workings of politics which can also seem just as important. Hillary does have her benefits and faults however even so; she does seem to be more liberal overall.

Michelle Obama’s 2016 Democratic National Convention Speech was beautifully presented; as she spoke about the issues that faces Mrs. Clinton as well as herself, education, health and welfare of this nation as a whole and why Hillary Clinton should be the next president of the United States of America. As I listen to this speech I realized that Michelle Obama uses rhetorical devices and appeals throughout this entire speech, and frankly since her purpose is to persuade the people of the this country to vote for Hillary I think Michelle Obama took the right approach. I get a strong sense of honesty from the first lady as she talks about why Ms. Clinton is worthy enough to take on the mantle of leadership for our great nation. After listening to my speech multiple times I notice how Michelle Obama also uses amplification, which is the expansion of detail to clarify a point. Then as I continued to listen to the speech I also realized how the first lady also uses anaphora, which is the repetition of one or more words at the head of consecutive phrases, clauses, or sentences. Next I saw how the first lady utilizes both ethos and pathos to help convince the citizens of America that Hillary Clinton deserves their vote. Through the use of these rhetorical devices and appeals, Mrs. Obama’s speech is made very strong and convincing.
