The Advertising Campaign Of 'Union Is Strength'

"A Call for Unity" by Carpenter et al. makes use of logos and ethos to create a persuasive and convincing argument. By using these persuasive rhetoric appeals, Carpenter et al. manage to presents themselves and other non-Negro citizens in a favorable light by suggesting that they have "expressed understanding" (Carpenter et al. 1) and been "responsible citizens" (2). Negro citizens, however, are presented as opposition determined to undermine the "principles of law and order and common sense" (2) through the use of public demonstrations. This essay will explore the various persuasive devices used by Carpenter et al.. to determine how important they are in creating a successful and convincing argument.

As most of us become conscious of the effects of homelessness, the mental disorders and the increased need for welfare, we start to recognize how important the issue is. When educated, we are extremely capable of coming together as a nation. We know what it is to advocate, to fight for what we believe in. That is how this country came to be, isn't it? With an mighty passion for building a better life for our children?

So rally boys, rally, let us never mind the past; 
We had a hard road to travel, but our day is coming fast; 
For God is for the right, and we have no need to fear, 
The Union must be saved by the colored volunteer.

Alfred M. Green’s persuasive speech for African Americans encourages them to confront the racial inequality in America by joining the Union army as it will help African Americans to put a stop to the slave-owning in the South. Despite the discrimination African Americans faced, even in the North, Green utilizes a strong ethical appeal and anaphora, segues into an emotional appeal and antithesis, and concludes with another ethical appeal to persuade African Americans that fighting with the Union army will be the first of many turning points in African American history to end racial discrimination in America.

Ever since this nation was born, it has grown more and more diverse every year. Our country has been through rough times because of the diversity, And eventually we all seem to come together and find common ground. There are many people, politicians, leaders and activists who have addressed this subject but authors such as Anna Quindlen, Eboo Patel and president Abraham Lincoln are great examples. These authors add rhetorical strategies to emphasize their message and get their point across. These authors use their strategies that cause their pieces to stand out from the rest. Anna Quindlen wrote the argument “A Quilt Of a Country” right after the world trade center attacks on September 11th of 2001. This was a terrible time for many people but the majority of America was brought a little closer together because of it. Eboo Patel, author of “Making The Future Better Together,” used other sources such as George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. to tell the students at Washington University to be active and understand the struggles of those around them. He told them this so it would inspire them to make positive change. Abraham Lincoln, president, author and speaker of the famous speech “The Gettysburg Address” didn’t want those losing their lives during the civil war to die in vain. He did not want any of the soldiers to die without it having a strong impact on America. These three beloved authors, use their

“The star spangled banner is now the harbinger of liberty and the millions in bondage will rally under that banner” (Dudley 167). This powerful quote was spoken by Frederick Douglas. The meaning behind these words show how millions of African American and white citizens should come together to fight for the Union (Dudley 167) Clement Vallandigham had said “It was good enough for my fathers. It is good enough for us and our children after us” (Dudley 170). He believes since the United states have had slaves for seventy years the United States will continue to have slaves (Dudley 169). “The thought of a country unified in sentiments, objects and ideas, has not entered into their political calculations, and hence this newly declared policy of the Government” Frederick Douglass, the man who spoke those words, understood that as a nation evolves, the culture evolves as well; the two must work conjointly (Dudley 167). What was true seventy years ago would not always be true in order for a country to grow and thrive (Dudley

The topic of Labor Unions has been the focus of many political debates in recent years, with these discussions having people advocate for and against the unions. Labor Unions are an organization that represent a collective group of employees to protect and further theirs rights and interests. Labor Unions were first introduced in the eighteenth century with increasing numbers around the United States and the world, but unfortunately during the past decade these numbers have drastically decreased, resulting in less education and achievement of solidarity among employees. Solidarity is the unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest. Workers in the United States would benefit more through

Do you believe that the U.S. needs to be more “united” to be able to become better as a country? Former president, Barack Obama does. “A More Perfect Union” is the name of a speech given by Barack Obama in 2008 for his presidential campaign. In his speech, Obama builds an argument on how United States citizens must come together and look past racial and ethnical differences in order to better our country. Throughout his speech, Obama states various reasons to support his argument. Some of the many reasons include: the problem of recurring racism, the fight and work of getting equal rights from generations before, and the need to come together to be able to face certain problems. Along with these reasons, Barack Obama also uses many

The role of unions and their importance has changed over the years. A mixture of poor wages, high unemployment, non-existent benefits and insignificant professional stability amongst the more youthful era makes a ready demographic for restoration. The younger era is the slightest unionized section of our general public today by a long shot. Unions are important in today’s society because checks and balances are necessary entities in business and government, so if CEOs are just focusing on themselves and profits, unions are a necessary check to all that corporate power. Today and in the future, labor unions will continue to play an important role in our country 's work force and the quality of life for working families.

President Obama’s, “A More Perfect Union”, speech conveyed many of his beliefs concerning racism. Obama is the son of a white woman and a Kenyan man, and just because of his race people are either with or against him. He begins his speech by talking about the founding fathers and the Declaration of Independence by saying that ‘all men are created equal’. His former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright brought up some of his observations about racism which caused some unease. He continues his speech by saying that the solution to ending this unease of racism is to come together and forgive each other for all the wrongs they have done in the past. He ends his speech by saying that both races need to become united in order for a more perfect union. Barack Obama buttresses his argument about slavery and unification by using ethos, pathos, allusion, as well as repetition.

Initially, I see diversity in America’s banner. With its 50 stars, 13 stripes, it represents our diversity in our country. Wither it’s a big deal, or just the simplest walk on the sidewalk, we’re all different. That’s what makes

The next commercial starts with a bear running through a forest until meeting what looks to most as a mountain man wearing a coon skin hat, fleece, and having bearded manly face. The bear runs away in fear when he notices the unworried man who is casually carrying an entire tree, defying physics. A song is played in the background of the ad talking about a man should be wild and free. In a manly fashion the mountaineer makes a bird call showing that he is master of nature as a bald eagle then brings him a diet Dr.

Urban Dictionary define brotherhood as “A group of close friends that will do anything for each other no matter what time of day or night it is.” This is how American citizens should treat each other, we should stand united, and help each other out. Which we do a pretty good job of that is why our country is strong to this day. No matter what race or ethnicity you are, we are Americans and that is all we stand united. Elton John puts it best when he says “For united we stand divided we fall and if our backs should ever be against the wall we’ll be together, together you and I.” This is a perfect way to put, we got to give props to Elton, when it says united we stand divided we fall that’s absolutely true. That is why our country has stood so strong, now I know where a fairly new country, but for the past two hundred years we withstood the wear and tear of life and were still here today, and it doesn’t look like were going anywhere

Through Tiffany Dean Loftin’s presentation, I gained a newfound understanding of the complex union leadership structure along with the power of grassroots organizing that can connect workers of color and immigrants. Like Loftin, I found it very frustrating that unions like the AFL-CIO are slow to embrace social causes like racial justice and immigration reform because they have enormous power to push for policy changes, as demonstrated by Samuel Gompers and the National Quota Act of 1924. Similar, stagnated union leadership can be a key factor in blocking social progress. As described in her presentation, it is often difficult to navigate and direct policy changes when the leadership is made up of a coalition of different people with different

Nine hundred and thirty-seven. That is the number of people assaulted and killed by law enforcement officers, this year alone. Our government is implementing laws and regulations that punish minorities and those without money so they cannot afford to live comfortably in our society. Citizens are being refused the right to serve in our nation’s military strictly because of the fact that they don’t conform to an archaic idea of a two-gender system. We are witnessing the Great Divide. American citizens are disunited based on issues of identity. With this divide, inequality has become an increasing issue, but strong individuals are unifying to fight for racial and gender equality. Many concerned individuals are fighting for equal opportunity in American society because our divided country allows some people to advance while others are held back.
