Recommended: Generation gap between parents and children

Emotions are understandably raw. We are well aware of the limitations of our Republic’s president, and some of us would have expected today’s outcome given the political rhetoric of our leaders over the past couple of days.

Above all, we desire a meritocratic process which explicitly offers us the chance to elect an individual, the chance to express our maturity that we will elect the most capable candidate, and the chance to tell our younger generations that your defined race does not require a concession to reach the highest office of this land.

That’s not what yesterday’s outcome was about. It is not one of your mundane bureaucratic processes which talk about what X government agency is doing to arrest Y social problem. Our next president …show more content…

Besides, if the government is truly convinced that this is for the betterment of our society, then the obligation shall rest on us to express our opinions, especially when we disagree.

The opinions we share may not lead to the changes we desire, but the premise of a healthy democracy requires a population that does not remain in a state of apathy. It encourages us, be it those who agree/disagree with this decision to come together for a conversation, instead of brushing away arrogantly of the need for active citizenry. That remains true regardless of the outcome of governmental decisions.

Of course, the actions of bureaucracy are not enough to drive the idea within us that racial divisions are omnipresent. Even as we acknowledge that our government has driven the ideas of racial harmony since our founding days, the golden question is whether we the people have arrived at a junction where we no longer need a higher authority to remind us, that we are fully aware and ready for a nation that is united on the common hopes and dreams that we

  • Into The Wild Rhetorical Analysis

    1626 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote about Christopher McCandless, a nature lover in search for independence, in a mysterious and hopeful experience. Even though Krakauer tells us McCandless was going to die from the beginning, he still gave him a chance for survival. As a reader I wanted McCandless to survive. In Into the Wild, Krakauer gave McCandless a unique perspective. He was a smart and unique person that wanted to be completely free from society. Krakauer included comments from people that said McCandless was crazy, and his death was his own mistake. However, Krakauer is able to make him seem like a brave person. The connections between other hikers and himself helped in the explanation of McCandless’s rational actions. Krakauer is able to make McCandless look like a normal person, but unique from this generation. In order for Krakauer to make Christopher McCandless not look like a crazy person, but a special person, I will analyze the persuading style that Krakauer used in Into the Wild that made us believe McCandless was a regular young adult.

  • The Presidential Candidate Rhetorical Analysis

    829 Words  | 2 Pages

    Politics is dirty and competitive and has not changed between 1879 and 2018. It is a complex system of jargon, charm, facts, and lies. Mark Twain’s “The Presidential Candidate” satirically expresses the essence of both old-world and modern politics as a presidential candidate who blatantly tells the truth of his wrongdoings. As a politician, one must be an open book. Their life must be truthfully written on the pages for the readers to analyze and evaluate their credibility as leaders. “The Presidential Candidate” resonates both in 1879 and 2018 with his use of humor, use of diction and use of subtlety.

    Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but
