The President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, began his speech at the General Assembly on Tuesday 19th, September with the sympathetic words for Mexico. He sent a message of solidarity to the Mexican people.
Furthermore, he focused his speech on the work he has been doing in these four years serving as president of Honduras. He shared his agenda of the “New Honduras.”
Honduras, has suffered the malicious plague of the transnational organized crime and the war against drugs. For this has created a tumultuous state in which the rate of death per capita has risen to the point of becoming one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Two major cities; Tegucigalpa the country’ capital, and San Pedro Sula, the industrial city have been enlisted as the most the dangerous and violent cities of Latin America.

He stated that at the end of 2013, Honduras had 75 killings for every 100,000 inhabitants. In these four years of mandate, he has diminished those numbers by 30 points. He claimed that the Global Peace Index positioned an improved Honduras with a rise of 17 points during his term.
Moreover, he claimed that his government has been able to reduce the deficit by 8% to 3% of the GDP. President Hernandez believes that the Honduran economy is healing and foresees a rise of 4.1% by the end of the year. Honduras has been attracting foreign direct investment and he has seen a growth in the relationship between the government and the people. The currency is stronger and the inflation rates are in a moderate stage.
President Hernandez spoke about the investments made during his term in infrastructure which will allow Honduras to become the center of logistics in Central America. He firmly believes that the partnerships with Guatemala and the talks with El Salvador, Nicaragua Panama and Costa Rica to join will allow Honduras to become a strong economy in the region by
The political climate in the United States has recently been very intense, all beginning with Trump and his negative remarks against the immigrant community. His most famous and derogatory words calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers (Reilly), sparked a huge uproar in the defense of the Mexican people who have chosen to immigrate to the United States. Along his path to the presidency he has time after time belittled Mexicans and their culture. That, however, has not stopped the Mexican band, Calibre 50 from shedding light on an all too real journey and attempting to fortify their fans for a common cause. Almost a year into Trump’s presidency Calibre 50 released the music video for their song, “El Corrido de Juanito.” The music video follows the journey of a man crossing the border to which it then shows him trying to make a life for himself in the United States as a gardener and a chef. The video attempts to show what it is like to illegally
For years the LGBT community has been consistently denied the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts, and it wasn’t until last year that same sex marriage became legal throughout the United States. However, they are not the only minorities being discriminated against in the United States. That is why Dolores Huerta, a well-known civil rights activist, points out that people who have experienced oppression should come together to achieve equality. In her keynote speech at the 21st National Conference on LGBT Equality, Dolores Huerta uses ethos, logos, and pathos as an effective way to inspire her audience to make a change in society.
Honduras was a part of the “Guatemala Kingdom” of provinces and was mainly settled by the Spanish for silver mining purposes. The northern part however was more resistant to Spanish conquest and was allied by Europeans and Jamaica. Honduras became independent from Spain in 1821 before becoming a member of the United Provinces of Central America. Comayagua was the capital at the time until 1880, it was then transferred to the city of Tegucigalpa. The social power in the book revolves around the government restricted many people ability to make a steady living and there is no way to move up in social classes.
By using diction and repetition, Cesar Chavez emphases the need to use nonviolence during moments of injustice. The rhetorical choices made in this argument draw forth feelings of understanding and cause the readers to think deeper into Chaves' point of view. The purpose is to carry a message that shows the power of nonviolence and what it brings to the world. People quickly follow the straight, bloody path of force and violence, rather than thinking deeper in search for the winding yet cleaner path. As human beings, we crave the freedom and power we believe was bestowed upon us by God. We will fight tooth and nail, even threw the deaths of many, in order to achieve these trivial things.
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.
Introduction The exponential growth of gangs in the Northern Triangle countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras) has led to an epidemic of violence across the region. The two largest and most formidable gangs in the Northern Triangle, the Mara Salvatrucha-13 (MS-13) and the Barrio 18, wage battles against one another to control territory and defend against incursions. In 2011, Honduras led the world in homicides, with 91.6 per 100,000 people; rates were also alarmingly high in El Salvador and Guatemala, at 69.1 and 38.5 per 100,000 people, respectively. In El Salvador, a country with a population of only 6.2 million people, 4,354 were the victims of homicide in 2011 alone, with the Catholic Church estimating that more than 1,300 of these deaths were the direct result of gang violence. To counteract the growth of the gang phenomenon, during the 2000s the Northern Triangle countries favored a mano dura (iron fist) approach to dealing with the increasing belligerence of gangs.
President Obama’s Address to the nation was presented on January 5, 2016. His speech was shown on all of the major network stations. The main goal of his speech was to get the point across to the nation about the increasing problem of gun use. His speech really focused on the issue of gun control and if it would benefit the country. Overall, the biggest idea of his Address was that gun control is a large issue in the United States. The way to prevent deaths caused by firearms can be prevented in other ways than taking peoples guns away. The examples brought up in this Address really stood out to me. The use of personal, national, and global examples really made his speech stronger on the topic of effectiveness.
Cesar Chavez used inspiration from Dr. King's paper to talk about non violence. Cesar used the observations and conclusions of King’s works to rhetorically use pathos to form arguments. Most arguments took in the reader's attention because Chavez used the reader's emotions and logical explanations to create his excerpt.
Many people believed Senator Obama won the presidential nomination because he gives a speech that changed the political, religion issues about the race. President Barack Obama is the 44th president and the first African American to serve as U.S president. He was elected second terms over former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. On March 18, 2008, president Obama gave a famous speech about the political, religion issues of race in the United States speaking at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. This speech brings more hopes to the black people, and opposed to former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s view. The speech encourages the black people to fight for their freedom, to overcome the difficulties to create more strong union
President Obama’s Inaugural Speech: Rhetorical Analysis. Barrack Obama’s inauguration speech successfully accomplished his goal by using rhetoric to ensure our nation that we will be in safe hands. The speech is similar to ideas obtained from the founding documents and Martin Luther King’s speech to establish ‘our’ goal to get together and take some action on the problems our country is now facing. As President Barack Obama starts his speech, he keeps himself from using ‘me’, ‘myself’, and ‘I’ and replacing it with ‘we’, ‘us’, and ‘together’ to achieve his ethos.
Many would argue that President Obama is one of the most effective speakers in the decade. With his amazing speeches, he captivates his audience with his emotion and official tone.
Cesar Chavez published an article in a religious magazine on the tenth anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s death. Chavez’s message is delivered with a humble yet serious tone, as he shows compassion in his writing to emphasize his purpose, which is to bring attention to the importance of non-violent acts over violent acts, and to overall strive to gain the support of his audience, which generally those devoted to helping those in need. The persona of the author helps the audience create a stronger connection with and be further persuaded by Chavez because the audience can infer that he has experienced and is a strong supporter himself of nonviolence by the use of his examples and his points of view. By using rhetorical strategies such
I found your post to be insightful, for it highlighted the increasing buying power that Latinos have. Latinos are becoming a fast growing demographic for advertisers.
Cesar Chavez was a Hispanic migrant worker who fought for the rights of other migrant farm workers. His strategy for fighting inequality was through nonviolent strikes, boycotts, and marches. In this interview of him by a Christian magazine, Chavez uses logical and religious appeals, and allusions to justify his usage of nonviolent resistance in order to gain civil rights.
In 1729, Jonathan Swift published a pamphlet called “A Modest Proposal”. It is a satirical piece that described a radical and humorous proposal to a very serious problem. The problem Swift was attacking was the poverty and state of destitution that Ireland was in at the time. Swift wanted to bring attention to the seriousness of the problem and does so by satirically proposing to eat the babies of poor families in order to rid Ireland of poverty. Clearly, this proposal is not to be taken seriously, but merely to prompt others to work to better the state of the nation. Swift hoped to reach not only the people of Ireland who he was calling to action, but the British, who were oppressing the poor. He writes with contempt for those who are oppressing the Irish and also dissatisfaction with the people in Ireland themselves to be oppressed.
