Chavez ultimate goal was to overthrow or get rid of labor system in this nation who treated farm workers as they were not important human beings. Chavez wanted farm workers to be treated equally as the other employees were treated. “We demand to be treated like everyone else, we’re not slave nor are we animals”…
Carlos, I thought did a lot better job to raise your voice so everyone in the room could hear what you were saying. I liked that you had visual aids throughout your presentation and a lot of the slides had some humor to them. However, I thought you should have had a few more slides that had a more serious approach because you are talking about a sad reality in the world. You did incorporate sources throughout the speech backing up the claims you were making. Carlos did use Pathos in his speech when he asked the audience how they would feel if one of their siblings was taken away from them. As for logos, he did have some good facts that helped the audience come to the realization of how serious the problem is. I think when you asked the audience…
Cesar Chavez, like his heroes Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi, believed in non-violent change. He fought ceaselessly for the rights of migrant farm workers to have a decent living conditions and a living wage. Krull does not offer a birth-to-death biography, instead focusing on the influences of his early years, the organization of the National Farm Workers Association, and the first contract with the grape…
One of the most well-known fights Mexican Americans engaged in during the 1960s was to secure unionization for farm workers. Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta started a national boycott on grapes in 1965 to encourage grape growers to recognize United Farm Workers with the help of the Delano, California union. In 1968 Cesar Chavez went on a hunger strike for 25 days while grape pickers also went on a strike. During this time, Senator Robert F. Kennedy visited the farm workers to show his support but it took until 1970 for the farm workers to prevail and that year, grape growers signed agreements acknowledging UFW as a union.…
Cesar Chavez based labor experience, worked with four different innovations to break the tradition and create a strong lasting union, along with his co-founder Dolores Huerta, which had worked together since the CSO. Dolores Huerta challenged gender roles, and as a woman established a good image of what women are able to do. She was one of the most influential organizers of the time, she belong to different organization and overall was not afraid to speak up. She would travel to different places, and in every location, she would leave a mark. Furthermore, Chavez’s strategies where strikes, marches, boycotts, and fasting, and each one of these techniques build on top of each other to create a sense of hope for a better future. However, what set this organization aside was that it was a social movement. It all started in Delano, where farm workers demanded higher wages. It was during that strike that the NFWA joined the AWOC’s Larry Itliong worked together to get things done. During their strikes challenges arose, growers were attempting to fight back using strikebreakers, but none of this was possible because the workers will and drive was greater than their rivals. An example of loyal farm workers would be Pablo Camacho; “…he did his job on the picket lines, went to the membership meetings and argued forcefully with his fellow workers about the importance of the union,” (Bardake, 2011, 8). It was dedicated people like Camacho that the union was…
In my comment to Aria, I explained why I believed that mythos was the strongest proof utilized in Oliver's speech and, on the other hand, why ethos was the least effective for his purpose. After reading Annettes explanation, I gained a greater insight as to how greatly ethos can affect the audiences perception of a speech. She makes a good case for ethos and did a great job pointing out how Oliver's strong charisma compelled and commanded his audience. Without ethos, the audience would be less likely to hone in on the message he is trying to convey and less of the listeners would be persuaded. I can also see how Oliver's use of pathos was not the strongest component of his speech. I agree with Annette in that his comedic comments were…
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…

The only difference is how they use magic instead of technology.…
Before beginning to write my essay and focus on what I wanted to write about I carefully read the few information about the movement that was located in the Gandhi book. Inside the book I learned how Chavez admired some of Gandhi’s principles and decided to apply them to the social change he wanted to create. Also I learned how Chavez was a very spiritual man who decided to add some of his religious ideas to the movement he decided to create. Reading this information was pretty helpful because I began to learn about the basic ideas of my topic and later expand my information by reading the other resources I previously…

Today there is only 7 of the left. While in this interview I asked my grandmother about the government during her childhood, she spoke to me about Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, a dictator who controlled The Dominican Republic for about 31 years. She told me how cruel he was and how strict everything was during that time “ Nuestras vidas eran como un infierno” (life was like hell), she described how this man always got what e wanted to get not matter what or who it was, “fue el tiempo mas duro que vivimos en Rep Dom nadie tenia control de nada solo el, “el chivo” ” ( this was the hardest time we lived in the Dom Rep nobody had control of anything but him, “The goat”).…

With his attitude and courage he led other Mexican-Americans to speak up and stand up for themselves. Cesar Chavez was a civil rights activist, a former farm worker and a very effective leader.…
Latin America was sustaining a high level of development in the 1990s. Concurrent with this development, or maybe the reason behind it, was the higher volume of FDI into the region arguably fueled by more 'neoliberal' inspired incumbent governments. Towards the end of the 1990, Hugo Chavez came to power in Venezuela and, like dominoes chain reaction, one by one countries in Latin America started swerving left. Following Chavez in Venezuela, Lula and it's Worker's Party came to power in Brazil, Nestor Kirchner and Tabare Vasquez in Argentina and Uruguay respectively, Evo Morales in Bolivia and Manuel Lopes Obrador in Mexico, to name a few. During this rise of the left in Latin America, foreign investors became reticent of parking their funds…
“I am convinced that the truest act of courage, the strongest act of manliness, is to sacrifice ourselves for others in a totally nonviolent struggle for justice. To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men.” Chavez believed that the best way to protest is to do it nonviolently. He was willing to sacrifice himself and went on a 25-day hunger…
