Use Of Voice Inside Our Minds

Walter Lippmann, in his article, “The Indispensable Opposition,” argues that opinions of peers are vital for one's own opinion. Walter is arguing for attention to consider the importance of others beliefs. He uses rhetoric devices, including logos, anaphora, and repetition, to convey his message to his audience, readers of The Atlantic Monthly. Lippmann supports this claim by first using logos in order to show prove. He refers back to Voltaire, “I wholly disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.”

My opinions and beliefs affect me directly. They are constantly changing, which means I am constantly changing. They affect my mood and the way I think. For example, in a matter of a few short months my opinion on something could change entirely. It is only natural, I am a teenager. My outlook on the world depends on my voice. It is a part of my identity and without one, I wouldn’t know who I would be. My voice is a key to the world of my interests, passions, beliefs and thoughts. It is a key to myself.

Life is full of different paths that each person has to take to achieve their goals. In those roads, people might find groups that share ideas, knowledge, culture, or tastes with them, called discourse communities, which can lead to live experiences that might turn unforgettable. People can join an infinite number of these groups, however in order to accomplish that they must convince its members by applying some techniques taught in this class of English 1301, for example, knowing the group’s rhetorical situation, i.e. its cultural context, motivations, the audience itself, etc. or applying the different Aristotelian appeals such as ethos (appeal to credentials and experience), pathos (appeal to emotions) or logos (appeal

People in society can have interesting views on issues around the world, these views on society are best conveyed through distinctive voices as it evokes feelings from the listener and allows them to relate to the situation through their own personal experiences.

My sense of self and my understanding of the power of voice constantly shift as I continue to educate myself and learn more about the world and the many cultures that exist within it. Even before I entered the Honors College, I put effort into defining my sense of self differently as my comprehension of the world expanded. When I was young, I defined my sense of self as a member of my family. As I continued to grow, I began to recognize my voice as a member of a larger community. However, Culture & Expression creates a focused, intentional setting in which analyzation and adaptation of self and voice is encouraged. Because of our reading of Antigone, The Symposium, and Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, I persisted in deepening and, at some points, changing my understanding of self and voice.

Every day, people make noise whether it be gibberish or intellectual thinking. It comes to many of us naturally and we use our voices all the time to communicate with others, to sing, to yell, and to ….. But many of us are left to ask, what is voice? Voice is a way to express yourself intellectually, make other minds think for themselves, and analyze the world around them causing change in society.

It’s easy to say Americans are glued to their technology devices, but you cannot believe everything you read on the internet. Instead, Iyers quotes Nicholas Carr and his facts about the increasing hours of American adults spent online from 2005 to 2009 from his book “The Shallows.” Authority is a key element in persuasion because it gives audience a truthful representation of the author. With the audiences trust in the writer the piece is therefore powerful. Because the piece has a potential to make a differnce with the audience actually listening to the author.

Underneath the sound of my voice is a song, “Seminole Wind.” If I still myself long enough to stop bringing my own voice and words to life, the song gives me images. The scenery that unfolds in my mind’s eye belongs to the memories of a young girl, who was so confused.

By utilising rhetoric, convincing speakers are able to portray the unjust human experience of their context captivating the audience expounding values such as peace, unity and justice. Anwar Sadat’s “Speech to the Israeli Knesset” and Paul Keating’s “Redfern Speech” reinforce the significance of injustice within their societies, prompting for social change. By engaging the audience through rhetoric devices these speeches evoke a personal response from the audience, transforming the practices and perspectives of their audience, bringing to the fore universal values in the light of their present contextual discriminations.

As I sat with three microphones tracking the triviality of the voice-cracks and tone breaks of my voice at the DNC’s March 9 Presidential Debate in Miami, I began to reflect upon the past year. Starting with the word “The” I was hit with a sudden rush of nostalgia and recollection. At seventeen running a political action committee (PAC), the conceptualization of what lies ahead more than two years ago was doubtful compared to the reality of that day. In one syllable, a matter of milliseconds, I flashed through my voyage of a life preoccupied with the insignificant to one engrossed by the unthinkable. Through overseeing a PAC, I became an adult in every sense of the word through a commitment to my community, my city, and myself.

Rhetoric is a course in which students are taught the values of persuasion. And yet, behind this course is the utmost power to corrupt the world, changing it into a world of our own policies. This power, even though seldom discussed, has lead to many intriguing discoveries. One such discovery is how people are able to shape the world they live in simply by choosing the right words. Therefore those who would want the world to be a better place must protect this power. If in the wrong hands this power could cause serious damage. Several authors have striven to protect rhetoric and its power. Few agree on the matter of defining rhetoric, but they know that they must protect rhetoric from dark souls. A single definition of rhetoric must maintain a simplistic nature while incorporating every aspect of rhetoric. However, I argue that rhetoric is a means of persuading audiences of a situation and a particular reality through language and personal appeal. In order to prove this definition I will discuss how rhetoric creates a situation, the shaping of a different reality, the audience, the use of language, and the personal appeal. Finally, I will demonstrate the absolute need for rhetoric.

[Abstract]In the 2016 American presidential election, Donald Trump, who has been dampening down since his announcement of running for president, beat his opponent Hilary Clinton, being elected as the next president of the United State, which was seen as a political miracle. As we know, rhetoric plays a vital role in western society, and it is even more closely interconnected with the western political life. The rhetoric resources were divided into three parts in the western classical rhetoric. They are logos, pathos and ethos. And Aristotle has long put forward that ethos is the controlling factor of persuasion. From a perspective of ethos of western rhetoric, this paper is to illustrate the core theory of ethos and to focus on the Donald Trump’s first public speech running for presidency, and then to make an in-depth analysis on how Trump constructed his identity and character through the use of ethos strategies in his speech and thus earned great popularity and more voters’ support. This paper is intended to point out the decisive role of ethos in persuasion.

“The mind is not only inside of us,” Daniel Siegel, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry said at the 2016 Leading to Well-Being conference. A conference program (Leading to Well-Being: Cultivating Resilience) lead by George Mason University was carried out in April 15, 2016. This conference was open to everybody, especially those individuals who want to be more conscious and have a greater sense of view towards how to live life with a healthier approach. It is necessary to cultivate resilience, positive mindsets, consciousness, and mindfulness within us in order to transmit the right attitude and practices to self and others. In order to carry out all these inordinate qualities it is important to identify the meaning of each term and how does it benefit us.
