Ben Carson is an independent pediatric surgeon who is running for the years 2016- 2020 presidency. He is strong on what he believes and what he feels is right, and I agree with most of his beliefs. He believes in the constitution and he also has some strong beliefs about marriage.
Ben Carson feels strongly about the constitution and I feel the same. He believes the constitution is great because it was based off of biblical principles, as do I. What biblical principles you say,

    The Inaugural Address, given by the United States’ president on the day he is officially transitioned into office, can be seen as a yard-stick to measure just how far we’ve come as a country. George F. Will believes that the issues presented in the address, which have changed over time (from executive power all the way to coastal fortifications and polygamy) are an important facet of the address, because they show the problems that we as a country are tackling as well as pointing out specific problems that may be more important to the public. However, another side to the address is the diction, which can help assess where we are linguistically as a country. While writing his article, Will was looking forward to the 54th Inaugural Address, given by President George W. Bush in 2001.…

    At the Bernie Sanders rally, he used a variety of techniques while presenting to the group. I noticed when he hit key talking points in his argument; he would use his hands that would elicit a stronger reaction from the crowd. He read his audience demographics well by hitting on housing cost, minimum wage and the high cost of tuition (all very important concerns of college students). However, there were some points he made I felt to be confusing. At one point in his speech, he mentioned how Native Americans were taken advantage of in the past. He tried to say that we should follow the Native American’s lessons and live with nature (and not destroy it with fossil fuel and natural gas exploration). It seemed he used a fallacy to connect two…

    Ben Carson grew up very poor. He had a rough childhood because his parents were divorced, Ben and his older brother, Curtis, would always get bullied because of their skin color, and Ben was called the “class dummy”.

    The Boston Tea Party started at midnight on December 16, 1773. More than one hundred colonists called the Sons of Liberty threw about forty five tons of tea from British ships into Boston Harbor. This “protest” was a very justified act that showed confidence, determination, and bravery. Others believe that the act was unnecessary and the colonists went overboard (no pun intended) with their behavior, even though the colonists didn't even damage the ships at all. This whole thing probably wouldn't even have happened had Britain successfully sent the tea boats back like they did in Charleston, Philly and New York. The tea that those boats brought was being taxed among other things, so there is no wonder that there was anger towards those boats not being sent back to Great Britain.…

    On September 5th 2012, former president Bill Clinton stepped on stage to address citizens at the Democratic National Convention and countless other Americans watching from home. Clinton’s speech took place prior to the Republican National Convention, and responds to many of the misleading claims that were made there. Clinton’s clear goal and objective is to inform and educate the American voters as to why he believes Barak Obama should be re-elected as opposed to Governor Romney. In doing this he not only gives the facts, but cements his ethos by referencing his own presidency and letting his record speak for itself on issues such as; jobs, the economy, healthcare, and even the constant bickering between parties.…

    Justin Trudeau's Speech

    What constitutes a great and memorable speech? Following the recent results of the October 19th federal election in Canada, two major speeches were delivered – Justin Trudeau’s victory speech and Steven Harper’s defeat speech. Just as with President Barack Obama’s 2008 victory speech ("Top 10 Presidential Addresses of All Time"), people with political preference may rank one of the two speeches more highly solely due to the identity of the speaker. Thankfully however, Lifehack provides some invaluable insights on the basic factors of a memorable public address. According to the website, imagery increases the effectiveness of a strong public speech, as does connection with the audience and persuasive, powerful statements. Taking those factors into account will help in evaluating both Trudeau’s and Harper’s speeches with a minimal amount of political bias.…

    Dr. Carson was invited to speak to students a school in Chicago. Before he spoke, Dr. Carson attended a reception where many different school officials and religious leaders told him about the troubled school that he was going to speak at. All the rumors caused the doctor to worry about the welcome he would receive from students. When he walked into the auditorium of the school his worries vanished as students applauded, and cheered for their guest speaker. For his speech, Dr. Carson told a story about being seen as cool or being seen as a nerd. It started with the cool guy having a nice car, a beautiful girlfriend, a varsity jacket, and what seemed like the perfect and ideal life. Then there was the nerd riding on the bus with an armful of books and a very low social status. After a few years, the cool guy did not do well in school and ends up working at a fast-food restaurant while the nerd gets a scholarship and heads off to college. A few more years go by and the cool guy still works at the fast-food place and is still cool. The nerd finishes college and takes a job at a Fortune 500 company and gets contacts, some suits, and a new car. All the girls in his old neighborhood then want to know him, not the "cool"…

    Colin Powell life is interesting because he was the first African-American Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. The commencement speech Powell gives at Howard University show his willingness and determination to overcome challenges. Not letting his race put a limitations on what he could or couldn’t do, shows that anyone can do anything and be anyone in this nation. It also shows how times have changed from the past from African Americans being slaves to running president and doing great things. Powell speech showed me in an encouraging way that you don’t have to be big or popular to do great things.…

    A good leader is someone who constantly is honest with the people who he or she is surrounded by. A leader who is educated is able to evaluate other people's skills to have the ability to achieve their ideal goals. As many of us know, Barack Obama was the first African American United States President in the United States' history. I remember it was 2010 when Obama established a healthcare system called Obamacare. Obama is considered a good leader by continuously being plausible and an attentive person for almost eight years. Not only is he an attentive worker, but Barack also does other things to help our nation, such as visiting other countries around the globe. Obama uses humor in his speeches…

    Obesity Fast Food Nation

    • 3 Pages

    Obesity has grown into a rampant issue all over the United States, over the past few decades. Fast foods also have increased their outlets in the nation, in turn, depicting a success in the business venture. It is clear that fast foods have become quite cheap in comparison to healthy, homemade meals. Subsequently, people have turned to eat fast foods for economic reasons. Convenience is yet another reason behind people’s high indulgence in eating fast foods other than healthy, homemade meals. One does not need to prepare meals when dealing with fast foods; it is just a matter of walking into a fast food restaurant. However, the rampant feeding on fast foods in America has adverse effects that seem to affect even children. Obesity is the leading result of feeding on too much fast food. Recently, this has grown into a concern whereby fast food restaurants are being blamed for the high occurrence of obesity in America. Nonetheless, I do not concur with the fact that restaurants are to blame for obesity, but people have the sole responsibility of choosing the food they consume and account for their weight (National Bureau of Economic Research web).…

    Willy Loman is an aging salesman in “Death of a Salesman” by Arthur Miller. He is married to his wife Linda, with Biff and Happy being his two sons. In the play, Willy tries to accomplish the American dream, but is only concerned about his past success which make him oversee the tragic position he is in and that his life and actions are a complete failure. This leads to the three major themes within the play; denial, contradiction and unhappiness. In the play, each individual of the Loman family lives in denial, whether about their position in real life, or to their relational conflicts. For example Willy Loman was denying the painful reality of his recent failure as a salesman because he was not capable of accepting the abominable position he was in and changing his critically wrong thinking about the honor and fame he pretended to have. The worst factor is that he only thought back to his previous success in his career which caused him to deny the reality that he has not achieved anything of real value, such as his obsession with a dream to become rich, famous and happy, which resulted in losing touch with reality and with himself. An example of this is when Charley, the Loman’s neighbor and Willy’s best friend, offered the old salesman a job when he got fired, but Willy’s egotism and self-importance got in the way, however, and he couldn’t bring himself to work for Charley, since this would be admitting failure. His sons Biff and Happy also adopted, to some degree, their father’s habit of denying and manipulating reality, which they displayed many times in their lives, until they also, ended up corrupting part of their lives and their minds. The one exception of this tendency was Linda who saw the reality and knew that things were going wrong and that her husband would soon be corrupted. Even though she could see the end coming, she kept the reality to herself and went along with Willy’s fantasies and even encouraged…
