Summary Of Bernie Sanders's Speech At The Iowa State Fair
On August 15, 2015, Bernie Sanders spoke at the Iowa State Fair to talk about several political issues being discussed by presidential candidates. Sanders spoke about human rights for everyone, the inequality gap and the minimum wage, as well as supporting a national health care plane by expanding Medicare to all. The central idea of his speech was that no matter what gender, race, or sexual orientation anyone is, they deserve the same basic human rights everyone needs, as well as equality and living wages for all. The specific details and key elements that supported his speech were all the facts that he gave and defining what family values should already be defined as. The speech was structured in a way that flowed from topic to topic. The central idea was not stated clearly at the beginning but was reiterated several times throughout the entire speech. The key words that were used were Family values, corrupt, and human rights. Sanders implied by using these words what he planned to do if elected president and what these words meant to him. My overall opinion of the speech was that it was very god and powerful. I agreed with Sanders upon all the topics he covered as well. …show more content…
There were no clues to the author’s perspective, showing more of their opinion of the presidential candidates. However, there was a large amount of bias, showing the author’s distaste of the Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. One example would be “Trump does deserve kudos for giving lucky children rides in a helicopter, but Willy Wonka-like behavior does not a world leader make.” The author rarely talks about Hilary Clinton, only stating that she held a news

    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…

    Subsequently, For our first rhetorical analysis assignment, I choose to analyze Bernie Sanders rhetoric during the Democratic National Convention, held on July 25 of 2016. Through the steps laid out in our textbook, I was able to analyze Sanders use of emotion very effectively. An example of my analysis was seen when he addressed the unjust minimum wage. Subsequently, he begins to narrate a heartbreaking story of a single mother trying desperately to take care of her family on minimum wage. By doing this he “evoke mass sympathy and anger from the crowd” (Williams). “ However their…

    Clinton's Dnc Speech

    Clinton instantly dives in by pointing out the major flaw in politics: the fighting between parties. “Through my foundation, in America and around the world, I work with Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are focused on solving problems and seizing opportunities, not fighting with each other.” (Clinton 1) “Though I often disagree with Republicans, I never learned to hate them the way the far right that now controls their party seems to hate President Obama and the Democrats.” (Clinton 2) What Clinton does in this passage is put the constant fighting between parties in perspective. He has worked with Republicans before and after his presidency and gives credibility to the idea the compromising is possible. I think that in talking about how his foundation’s focus is “on solving problems and seizing opportunities, his is connecting to the everyday, average American who is tired of corruption and lack work being done by both sides. To further this argument he throws out a quote made by Reagan and even gets an applause for Bush by stating, “I worked with President George Hw.W. Bush on national education goals and am grateful to President George W. Bush for his efforts and work with PEPFAR” which is an organization…

    In every war fought throughout the history of mankind, the dependence on weapons was highly sought after. From swords to guns, weaponry has progressed throughout the ages with each war fought. No other war has seen more advances in weaponry than World War II. Many of those advances made this war focused on artillery, land vehicles, naval ships and aircraft. These advances, although beneficial, have also led to more bloodshed on the battlefield because they can do a lot more damage than their previous versions. Understanding these advances helped the Allied Powers win over the Axis in many battles, but both sides contributed many advances in weaponry.…

    In the society today, men and women are trying to make things equal between the two genders. Women are allowed to participate in what some people call men activities or jobs, such as: welding, mechanics, or even being the CEO of some companies. During Sanders’s past most of a man’s future was to work hard and to support their families and women’s jobs were to take care of the house and children. In the past, all men worked hard. Sanders grew up to believe that men were to be in charge of everything. Men were the backbone of the country. Sanders say “When I was a boy, the men I knew labored with their bodies, they were marginal farmers, just scrapping by, or welders, steelworkers, and carpenters” (Sanders, 623.) Sanders had more consideration towards men. His view on men are without a doubt shown, that men are what keeps this country up, if it was not for the hard working hands of men, nothing would be able to get function properly. He also believed that men were warriors, superior beings that would give their life for the right thing. It has always been known that men are more in control than women are. It is clearly shown that Sanders is sensitive towards men and will always be on their side no matter what the situation is, but he also has a soft side for women because he has now come to realize what they go through alot while men are at work.…

    The term “Philosophy” is derived from two Greek words, Philia meaning “to love” or “to befriend” and, Sophia meaning “wisdom.” Thus, philosophy, means “the love of wisdom”. It was coined by Pythagoras, one of the sages of ancient Greece, born about the year 584 B.C. Philosophy is an activity people undertake when they seek to understand fundamental truths about themselves, the world in which they live, and their relationships to the world and to each other. As an academic discipline philosophy is much the same. Those who study philosophy are perpetually engaged in asking, answering, and arguing for their answers to life’s most basic questions. To make such a pursuit more systematic academic philosophy is traditionally divided into major areas of study.…
