Trump's Tower Of Babble Analysis
The Sapir Whorf Hypothesis is the belief that your word choices and how you utilize the format of the language can impact a culture or the way they think. In the article “Trump’s Tower of Babble” written by Christopher M. Livaccari and Jeff Wang it states that “Regardless of how it ends, Trump’s bid for the presidency has already been fascinating from a linguistic perspective. What has been especially instructive, though frightening, is that his remarks seem to be getting lost in translation most frequently among native speakers of American English.” During Trump’s campaign, he uses word fragments that get inside people's mind and the people believe that he is stating the truth but he is actually not. For instance, he usually says “I'm going

    In George W. Bush’s Columbia Speech the speaker uses tone and a pathos appeal to accomplish in soothing the country after a terrible accident. The president’s tone throughout his speech is very somber and very sad for the majority of the speech. “Our entire nation grieves with you. And those you loved will have the respect and gratitude of this country.” He is very sad that the astronauts on the Columbia died. The president also appeals the nation's pathos ideals by taking verses out of the bible and talking about God “May God bless the grieving families. And may -- may God continue to bless America.” Using this two things the president sends home the fact that he and the rest of the country are grieving for the men and women in died in the Columbia Tragedy.…

    On June 16th at his very own Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump announced that he would be running for president. It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other…

    If there can be any objection to the administration, it can be the general disdain it has for reality. The President of the United States of America has employed the highest offense possible; he attempts to promote contradictory ideas at the same time and hold that they complement each other. Trump’s most important example should be his tone on the campaign trail. Trump’s campaign was run on two violently opposing ideas: that America is a perfect nation, that America is God’s nation, that America is the savior and protector of the world, America has the perfect culture that all nations should adopt, and our soldiers are the strongest, our products are the best, our land is the most beautiful, and that all nations should be subservient to American…

    Hillary and Trump both had very persuasive speeches, they both used the three appeals very differently, like Hillary used the emotional appeal more and Trump used the logical and the ethical appeal more. They both were very well thought out speeches and they both spoke to the delegates at each convention plus the people that were watching on TV. They both made an a point to at least try and use all three rhetorical appeals to be the most persuasive they can be, but in the end, its up to what people in America see fit. Its up to the Americans to go over everything the candidate believes in and what they say in these speeches to decide who would be the better president. Hillary and Trump both have many reasons why they feel they are the best…

    Out of the variety of rhetorical devices Sitting Bull could have used, two were mostly present. The rhetorical devices that were most presently used in his speech was a mixture of both Logos and Pathos. This is due to the fact that he talks about the white settlers in conjunction to how he feels about them and how he feels about what they do to his people and the Earth herself. "Yet hear me, friends! we have now to deal with another people, small and feeble when our forefathers first met with them, but now great and overbearing” shows not only how he thinks of the white settlers, but also how their strength has evolved over time compared to when they first arrived. As Sitting Bull states “They compel her to produce out of season, and when sterile…

    Comey was a minor assistant US attorney in the late 90s. He only gained power and money by being the DOJ official who "investigated" and cleared Bill Clinton of any wrong-doing in Clinton's totally corrupt pardon (for huge payoffs) of criminal financier Marc Rich as Clinton was leaving the Presidency. This is how Comey began his career as a creature of the "swamp" years ago, as a servant of the Clintons.…

    The final strategic error that Cruz suffered from was non-persuasive pathos. Pathos is employed in order to ignite emotion or feeling in an attempt to rally support. Cruz used effective descriptions and adjectives to employ pathos, but because of a lack of timeliness and empathy his pathos were not persuasive. At the beginning of his Prayer to France, Cruz effectively portrayed support and stood in solidarity with the people of Paris by asking God to, “lift up’, “comfort”, and “be with the people of Paris.…

    Ted Cruz has been so far only GOP candidate to animadvert the same-sex court ruling sternly enough to ignite the social conservatives. While all other GOP candidates showed controlled reaction on the law, Cruz tears the court ruling down and takes the opposition of same-sex marriage as ‘front and center’ of his presidential election campaign. Most of the GOP candidates have criticized the law but ended up obeying it ‘showing respect’ to the law except for Cruz, who has initiated campaigning against same-sex marriage ruling in Iowa. He also has excoriated the court for upholding Obamacare. He suggests that the court has overstepped its bounds.…

    Whorf studied the language of the native American Hopi people and observed that it was “timeless“. It lacked time adverbs and did not mark verbs for tense as we do in English. Hopi grammar was more concerned with distinguishing between what is objective and what is subjective. Whorf concluded that a Hopi speaker must view the world very differently from a native English speaker.…

    President Donald J. Trump has certainly been one of the most controversial and outspoken candidates in United States history, and given that reputation one would expect nothing less from him for his inaugural address. While one could certainly decide how well Trump’s speech went based on party affiliations, most Americans will analyze the speech itself for the answer. By understanding Aristotle’s three modes of persuasion ( logos, ethos, and pathos) one can investigate how much of a success Trump’s speech truly was.…
