Yitzhak Rabin Speech

Can a simple speech rouse a passion for freedom in even those who have given up all hope for their leaders? In the book Killer Angels and the movie Gettysburg a speech such as this was made. This speech was made by Joshua Chamberlain, the leader of the 20th Maine division of the Union Army. One day 160 deserters were left at his doorstep. Chamberlain gave a speech that inspired 114 men to fight for freedom. While analyzing this speech it is easy to see that there are many ways and reason to be inspired by this wonderful speech.

Racism has always been a major problem in America. However, it was known to be the most problematic in the late 1950s. On August 28 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his infamous speech “I Have a Dream” to America. His dream highlighted the injustices of segregation and discrimination of African Americans that took place in this nation every single day. Dr. King inspired thousands despite the color of their skin, to take a stance against racism, with his powerful way with words. In his speech MLK efficaciously uses, Ethos, Pathos, and Logos by using allusions, developing credibility, in his speech to persuade all Americans to be aware of the problems with racism.

In our lifetime a lot of unusual things will happen, some good and some bad. My speech in particular is about one of the bad things that has happened in our parents, maybe even grandparents lifetimes. This case is frightening and disturbing, but the most shocking part is how he doesn’t remember what he did or how he did it. All he remembers is being taken into custody and an abnormal loss of teeth. My information is from “my life among the serial killers”, written by Helen Morrison, an interview from CBS news, and an article written by one of the detectives assigned to the case. In “my life among the serial killers”, Morrison tells about her time hypnotizing “Baby faced” Richard Macek and the horrifying story of what he did.

As first stated by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, the art of rhetoric in persuasive speaking is based upon the usage of the three key components, logos, ethos and pathos. Logos representing the usage of logic and reasoning within the speech or text, ethos representing the writer or speaker’s credibility and pathos representing how the speaker or author establishes an emotional connection with the audience. In former president Bill Clinton’s 2012 democratic national convention he relies heavily upon Aristotle’s persuasive speaking techniques to help convince the participants of the convention and those watching at home to reelect the nominee of the Democratic Party, current

Have you ever had a life changing moment? Many individuals have faced life changing experiences like Feng Ru in the “Father of Chinese Aviation”, like Jackie Robinson in ‘I Never Had It Made’, and like Melba Pattillo Beals in ‘Warriors Don’t Cry.’

In his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention on June 27, 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt mentioned many challenges and concerns facing the United States during that time period. In his speech the President used short-hand phrases, brief references, and pejorative naming to make his larger, political and ideological points. FDR used terms like ‘economic royalists’, along with phrases like ‘new despotism wrapped in the robes of legal sanctions’, to identify the large corporations, investors and employers, who according to him are trying to influence policies and control the government for their own personal benefits. The President also uses phrases like ‘Necessitous men are not free men’, to reiterate his concerns and to point out how the working people of America are being deprived from their rights by these very same privileged employers. FDR compares 1936 to 1776, referring to the American Revolution and its significance in putting the power back in the hands of the average Americans, and how it is necessary to check the power of the corporations in order to protect the interests of the American people and restore the power back in the hands of the people.

In America’s history, there have been some very powerful and moving speeches. After viewing Joshua Chamberlain’s speech, I thought of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech “I Have A Dream”. In Martin Luther King’s speech he mainly talks about equality and every man and woman being created equal. Chamberlain talked about being judged by what you do When Chamberlain started his regiment, he was leading a thousand men. By the time he was addressing the mutineers he had under 300 men.

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

On December 29, 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) spoke to the nation via radio broadcast. The American public had come to appreciate his radio address, which were known as fireside chats. However, on this night, Roosevelt’s tone and delivery took on an ominous air. This fireside chat had little to do with the ongoing economic recovery. Instead, FDR spoke about national security. He told the nation of the alliance of three nations. Two European nations Germany, Italy, and one Asian nation Japan recently formed the axis powers. He explained that the axis powers intended to dominate the world, and end democratic ideals. He expressed concern for what might possibly happen should the aggressor nations from Europe or Asia advance into

“Tear down this wall!” these were the inspiring and captivating words that came out of President Ronald Reagan’s speech at the Berlin Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987. Speaking to the Soviet leader Mikahil Gorbachev, Reagan was calling for the unification of East and West Germany. With the destruction of the wall, he believed it would bring not only Germany prosperity, but The Soviet Union as well. During this speech, President Reagan brings forth the benefits of tearing down the wall and unifying Germany once again. He introduces his strategies to create freedom, economic prosperity, and free trade to stop Soviet Expansion. On this day, President Ronald Reagan’s speech was classified as a heroic event. Why? He challenged the Soviet leader like no other president had before.

In the philosophical novel The Fountainhead, the architect Howard Roark, the supposed maltreated paragon of human potential, delivers a powerful message in an unequivocal tone glorifying the power of the creator. He persuades others to believe in the strength of individuality in a speech during the Cortlandt trial to an uncompromising jury. Roark’s speech serves to declare his position towards the great creators, his abhorrence towards second-handers, and his perceptions of societal influence on the creator. Howard Roark initiates his speech by utilizing analogous examples, simplicity, and parallelism to promote the innate strength of individualistic creators. Roark begins with a simplistic parable describing the first creators, the makers

Wow.. I did not know the Ms. Lewinsky became an anti-bullying activist. Anyway, I definitely agree with everything she addressed during her speech, especially the financial point of view, where social-media and gossip “news” are financed by clicks and likes. I might say, that for the majority of the population in Western world and some parts of Asia, online life has the same importance as our real life. I can see it on my two housemates - they are literally addicted to Snapchat and Instagram, with an average of a few hours a day, just browsing other’s pictures and videos. I’d like to emphasize the point about Snapchat being hacked. Every person using Facebook, Google, Snapchat, whatever, must be aware that it is a free service. We don’t pay

Being the youngest president elected and inheriting a war amounted to a lot of pressure alone for John F. Kennedy. Many have questioned if John F. Kennedy was the man to lead the country. In order to answer that question he gave a memorable inaugural address to make his critiques rethink their doubts. Kennedy’s speech is known as one of the most powerful speeches because of his of rhetorical strategies.

On March 1, 1922, in Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine, a man named Itzak (Yitzhak) Rabin was born. He became the country's first native-born prime minister in 1974, but served as Israel’s military chief before stepping into politics. Rabin was a peaceful man, and aimed for tranquility between Palestinians and Israelis. His peaceful attitude and actions--such as negotiations with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat--led to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. Although many believed he was peaceful, some considered him a traitor for keeping peace by going along the Oslo plan with what some would consider one of his greatest political enemies: Yasser Arafat. Speculation of Rabin led to his murder by a Jewish law student named Yigal Amir. He
