In the article, Mass. Sen. Elizabeth Warren chastised Donald Trump for using the phrase nasty woman in one of the last presidential debates. Now obviously, this is something characteristic of Donald to do. He frequently speaks without thinking in the hopes that the audience will appreciate the cleverness of whatever comment comes out of his mouth. However, the phrase nasty woman isn’t one that sounds like some random comment. The disposition of his figure and the low and demeaning tone he used when describing her as a nasty woman has a framing effect on the audience. The audience may have disapproved of the comment but because of the way uttered the comment, they may also come to view whatever she says following the comment as something a “nasty …show more content…
Warren turned the situation right back around when she announced how atrocious not only that behavior was but his behavior is consistently towards women. As the audience recalls the comment in the presidential debate, she follows it up by referencing the other moments where he took advantage of women to paint the mental set of trump as both a physical and verbal abuser of women. This may not be the complete story but the power of the misinformation effect enhances all past memories relating to his abuse as even more drastic than they already seemed. After this election is over I can imagine that Trump is going to have a very hard time associating with anyone who self-identifies as a woman because all their available memories of Trump associating with women are vividly abusive. As the availability heuristic explains, their first thought will be most likely one that’s related to him groping them or him calling them some name that they would rather not be called. Imagine what most Americans must think of trump when they’re in the voting booths. Most likely their thought won’t revolve around the issues that he neglects to speak on but instead their thoughts will revolve around what type of person he is or how much they would rather not have their children observationally learn from the man. As an authority figure, anything he does in front of an impressionable mind seems like
On September 5, 1995 Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a speech to the United Nations 4th World Conference during a Women Plenary Session, located in Beijing, China. Clinton spoke about how women around the world were not treated equally, how women rights should be equal to human rights, and the ghastly abuse and discrimination women faced around the world. The reason for the conference was to strengthen women, families, and societies in order to empower women to taking control of their lives and not be subject to such discrimination. She emphasized how education, health care, jobs, and political rights were not equal between genders and that the world needed to change. Clinton gave a very convincing speech because of her use of rhetorical techniques. The use of pathos, ethos, logos, and anaphora created a powerful, persuasive argument against the way women were treated around the world. Clintons main goal of this speech was to appeal to the audience and convince them that this is unequal treatment is an immense matter and needs to be addressed all over the world.
Earl Warren is considered a leader in American politics and law in the 20th century. Warren was the governor of California and during his time was able to secure many major reform legislations that helped modernize hospital systems, prisons, and highways. His time as governor also led to the expansion of the old-age and unemployment benefits. In 1953, he became the 14th Chief of Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. As Chief of Justice, he was able to rewrite much of the corpus of constitutional law. His most famous case as Chief of Justice was Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. This case ruled that segregation in schools was unconstitutional since it did not give equal protection under the law to African Americans. Although the court was divided at first, his efforts were able to gain a unanimous decision. His court also sought out electoral reforms, equality in criminal justice and the defense of human rights. In 1963, Gideon v. Wainwright was a major case that sought equality in criminal justice. This case required counsel in court for defendants even if they could not afford
Rebecca Skloot uses inductive and deductive reasoning in her argument. Skloot includes a casual argument that Henrietta’s family used when they described Henrietta’s funeral. For example, Skloot states, “As Cliff and Fred lowered Henrietta’s coffin into her grave and began covering her with handfuls of dirt, the sky turned black as strap molasses. The rain fell thick and fast. Then came long rumbling thunder…” and Henrietta’s cousin Peter stated, “We shoulda knew she was trying to tell us something with that storm” (92). Skloot includes this casual argument because it illustrates how Henrietta’s family believed the storm that occurred on the day she was buried was caused by Henrietta. Skloot also uses deductive reasoning, which goes from general
Angela Davis, a renowned political and civil rights activist, was invited in 2012 to Pitzer College to give the commencement speech to the graduating class. Her speech touched on important points in her life as well as many of the values she fought for and believe in. I have never heard her speak before watching this commencement address, and my initial thoughts when hearing her speech was that she was old. Her speech was slow and at first a little boring. However, as her commencement continued onward, she started to get more into rhythm and while she stayed relatively slow, the power behind her words as she spoke made me want to listen more to what she had to say. Angela Davis has had an interesting history as an activist and educator, and
The Warren Court refers to the Supreme Court of the United States between 1953 and 1969, when Earl Warren served as Chief Justice. The Warren Courts were the catalyst for change in the areas of discrimination based on factors of faith, race or other categorizations was the catalyst for the evolution of reappointment and voting, established Maranda, and laid the ground work for woman to have the right to make decisions concerning own reproduction rights.
Obligations, an act of binding oneself to another, through social, political, or economic means. The arguments of this week’s reading center on obligations and reveal the unintended ties to one another. Kristen Mann's argument discusses the effect of the slave trade in the Nigerian city of Lagos. Her argument forms around the political effects of the slave trade and the centralization of power in the city. The slave trade created an obligation to those in power. Through, the lower-class work with the wealthy slave traders created an obligation to protect, and lend economic support. This idea of obligation to power is important to understand the way in which aid shifts obligation of power. Importantly, The Trouble with Aid, argument’s shows
The 1920's was a time when cultural and social changes began to take place in the history of the United States. People began to grow in prosperity, change the rules when it came to morals and manners, and the cultural civil war of individual rights. This is the time when women are fighting for their rights to be equal in comparison to their white male counterparts. During this period women are realizing their impact on how society functions and the roles they play. This was the beginning of the true feminists’ mission. After “August 23, the day when the Tennessee legislature finally enacted the Federal suffrage amendment" (Eastman,
In the 2015 book Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, authors Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik evaluate the significant role Ginsburg has had on United States policy in equality and women’s rights. The authors of Notorious RBG, present the structured internal initiative and personal influences of the Brooklyn native, Ginsburg, that contributed to her life-long achievement in academics and scholarly enlightenment. In order to reach her goals, Carmon and Knizhnik describe, Ginsburg in a light that explains how she juggled her professional aspirations and family life while continuing to present the legal world with arguments that aided in shifting popular opinion about female equality compared to males in our society. In Notorious
show that Bush would have won Florida either way if there was a recount. However later studies also showed that if the undervotes and overvotes were recounted, Gore would have won Florida but his legal team did not take any action. Sadly after 36 days of recount fighting for the Florida recount of votes, “Gore gave the presidency to Bush on December 13, 2000” (CNN Politics). However, Gore had great chances of reclaiming Florida especially if his legal team took action on the -16,000 votes and the fact that there were 360,000 votes that were not even counted but Gore did not want to fight and instead gave the presidency away.
Margaret Sanger, a well known feminist and women's reproductive right activist in USA history wrote the famous speech: The Children's Era. This speech focuses on the topic of women's reproductive freedom. Sanger uses rhetorical forms of communication to persuade and modify the perspectives of the audience through the use of analogy and pathos. She uses reason, thought and emotion to lead her speech.
"It's very dangerous when we have people in positions of leadership who use their power to try to quiet those who disagree with them” (Chasmar). Tulsi Gabbard, the Representative for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District and former Vice Chair of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), refers to the DNC’s actions earlier this year that favored Secretary Hillary Clinton in her primary campaign. Gabbard, a hero veteran, resigned from her position as vice chair of the DNC after witnessing injustice in the heart of the Democratic Party. The head of the DNC, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, held only six debates during the primary season, a small number compared to other election years when there were 15, or even 26, debates between candidates. Some commentators connect Wasserman’s position as the co-chair of
In Chapter 26, Sonia Sotomayor herself discuss why she could endure, even thrived, as she growing up in such a formidable environment. This is also the question that led me during my reading. As far as I am concerned, three major reasons played important roles in her extraordinary success, transforming her from a little Hispanic girl suffering from juvenile diabetes, losing of father and various discriminations, to the first Hispanic and third woman Supreme Court justice.
In “women's rights to the suffrage” by Susan B Anthony women are just like men they should always be equal treated.Woman’s needs rights to vote not just men. Susan B Anthony is trying to persuade us not allowing women to vote is just illegally and woman are human too.
In literature, a dynamic character changes significantly as a result of events, conflicts, or other forces. In the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Mary Warren, the young servant of the Proctor’s is a dynamic character. Throughout the play, Mary’s personality takes a turn for the better. At the beginning of the play, Mary is shy, timid girl who hides in the shadows of Abigail Williams and lets people walk all over her. As the play develops, Mary realizes that what Abigail is doing isn’t right and rebels against Abby. Instead of following Abby, she follows in the footsteps of John Proctor to bring justice to the girl’s accusing innocent people of witchcraft.
“I argue that it is personhood, and not genetic humanity, which is the fundamental basis for membership in the moral community” (133). This is the central idea in Mary Anne Warren’s argument on the personhood of a fetus. She argues that in order for a genetic human being to be considered a person, he or she would have to possess all of the six criteria’s of personhood which include sentience, ability to reason and emotionality. In order to determine the viability of the personhood of a fetus she argues two things. Firstly, Warren argues that even on the surmise that a fetus has a strong right to life, abortion can still be seen as morally permissible. Warren demonstrates this by using Judith Johnson’s Violinist analogy, which asks the basic
