“Women Rights”
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a well-recognized woman in the United States. Her great contribution as secretary of State impact people’s lives. One of many remarkable speeches Hillary gave was the “The women rights speech”, in the 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session where she uses strong words and emotions to appeal the audience. Even though the speech talks about women rights, she wants everyone, including men and children to listen and take action. Her use of ethos, logos and pathos throughout the speech made the audience believe in her words.
It is adequate that Hilary gives the speech, because she, as a woman, can relate to every word and at the same time speak for others “As an American I want to speak for those

She uses pathos when she emphasizes the things women do that can relate to each other, she combines two fragments that can mean the opposite form each other but complement in a way "whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concern.” Here she talks about washing clothes in a river and taking a break in the office, actions two different type of people do. Solidarity is the main emotion she is portraying to the public.
She touches hearts when she talks about the struggles some women go through to help their families the right way and how she feels for them “I want to speak for those women in my own country, women who are raising children on the minimum wage, women who can’t afford health care or child care, women whose lives are threatened by violence, including violence in their own homes.” Those women feel like they are alone, that nobody would understand their situation but Hillary comforts them with her kind

She uses strong words to evolve her speech.
“We must respect the choices that each woman makes for herself”,” Every women deserves”.
When she uses these words(respect and deserves) the message is clear. Clinton is fighting for women rights, she takes this topic in a serious way. It is a commitment she has and wants everyone to listen.
Rhetorical situations make part of this speech to influence the audience. Repetition will make it possible for everyone to remember an important fact like the repetitive words “It is a violation”, the reason of why she uses negative words is to make people realize there is a problem that needs to be fixed. The audience already know the good things, what they want to know is the bad things that need a solution. What can be done to improve the world? She also repeats the word “If women” followed by “will”, this gives a cause and a positive effect. Good outcomes come with good actions.
Hillary’s credibility does not get call into question when she says she has been working in the case “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families” this is the way she knows a lot about women and their necessities “I/ve had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my country and around the
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.
Sojourner finishes the initial emotional connection with her audience through her religion. By making biblical references, Sojourner’s mostly Christian audience related to her as a fellow Christian and responds more positively to her stance on equality. Through these personal anecdotes, Sojourner invites her audience, who are mostly women suffering from their own forms of discrimination, to realize the injustices of which they too are victims. Sojourner plays on the emotions of her audience in order to grab their attention and their willingness for change by sharing her own personal feelings to which they can relate. Sojourner continues her speech with rhythm and repetition, building up an energy in her voice and audience with a brief personal experience followed each time with that same rhetorical question.
To summarize this analysis, Hillary Clinton shows us how as we unite, the stronger our bond is. She uses clever ways to show this action. Though she did not win this presidential election, she is still loved by many. She helped herself because of the way she wrote and persuaded people to join her. Using rhetorical appeals
The thesis of “We Should All Be Feminists” is everyone should be feminists because men are always viewed as the ones who have to greater than women in almost everything and it must be fixed. A feminist does not have to be a woman, a man can be one too. More importantly, she is specifically trying to cause awareness of the gender inequality in Africa because that is where she is from and it is where she has seen the stereotype against women. If this was a written essay, the category it would fit into is a persuasive essay because Adichie uses logos, pathos, and ethos to persuade the audience.
The two biggest wars in the world were the Great War and The World War 2 that have ended a long time ago. However, there is still another war ongoing in the world, it is a “Women’s war.” In this war, women are fighting for their own rights in every country include American. In order to encourage women in this long fight, on September 5, 1995, Hillary Clinton gave the “Women’s right are Human’s right” speech at the United Nation’s Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. She argued for the equal rights of the women and against the abuse of women around the world. Logos, ethos, parallelism are three elements make “Women’s right are Human’s right” an effective speech.
When she concluded her speech, Hillary kept using the repetition of the words dignity, respect, family and children. Clinton’s credibility is not questioned when she says she has been working on the case, “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families” (Clinton). This is the way she knows about women and their necessities, “I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my country and around the world” (Clinton). Her goal is definite, “To strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take greater control over their own destinies”( Clinton). This change will not only affect women, but everyone who surrounds them.
When creating a comparative rhetorical analysis of two different feminist essays, we must first define the term “feminism”. According to Merriam-Webster.com, feminism is “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities”. Feminism is a also a long term social movement, one that’s been in the works since the early 1900’s. However, as any challenger to the norm might receive, the words ‘feminism’ and ‘feminist’ have gotten a bad reputation. Throughout the years, popular opinion has agreed that if you’re a feminist, you hate men, and don’t shave. It’s a very close-minded belief, and both Lindy West and Roxane Gay agree. Both authors of the essays I am comparing today, West and Gay try and convey their beliefs that feminism isn’t what you think it is. However, they do it in very different ways. Who conveyed their beliefs of feminism better and the superior argument? That is what I am going to display today.
The reader learns, in depth, that Senator Clinton is an intellectual, a voracious reader, a policy expert, a strong advocate for the poor, a guardian of children, a clever politician, an outstanding American citizen, a committed mother, a dedicated wife, and a never-say-die woman who seeks power without apology. That which may be new to the reader, however, is the profound impact Hillary's family and upbringing had on her political beliefs and eventual political career, which has made her into somewhat of a celebrity in the American culture.
...women has escalated to an all-time high. Hillary Clinton’s speech “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” targets this growing problem and by portraying a purpose, style and language, and different appeals to the audience effectively.
Some people believe her values are “a result of having lived through the depression” (Harris 673). She has seen the worst and hopes to make things better for her people. As a child, Clinton was “earning merit badges in girl scouts and starring in the girls softball league” (Harris 674). She has always believed women were smart and strong. Earning badges and playing sports might not seem like much, but it taught a young Clinton that women can do anything they set their mind to. Clinton went off to college and met her husband Bill Clinton there. As the couple got older, Bill decided he wanted to run for president. Hillary “went to Indiana to coordinate the campaign” (Harris 678) for Bill. From the start to the end of Bill’s presidency, Hillary was “extremely active in government affairs” (Hurley 204). She “[emphasized] the need for a global feminist agenda” (Hurley 204-205). Even though Bill was the president, Hillary applied herself as if she were the president. She encouraged equality for genders. Her speech “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights” was given right in the middle of Bill’s presidency. She used her economic power to create awareness of the gender inequality in the
I chose Emma Watson’s speech at the UN about feminism because I had previously watched a clip on facebook and it stuck with me. Watson uses arguments to inform and to inspire as well as using all three of pathos, logos, and ethos. In the speech, Watson asks men to understand that gender inequality is their issue as well.
Through the 20th century, the communist movement advocated greatly for women's’ rights. Despite this, women still struggled for equality.
In the “Declaration of Conscience,” Margaret Chase Smith addresses the American public and the United States Senate during a time of political unrest. Communist accusations and a “national feeling of fear” has brought upon this speech. Even with an upcoming election, the Republican Party decides a freshman woman senator would speak to the public, an uncommon practice at the time . In this paper, I will argue that Margaret Chase Smith’s “Declaration of Conscience” proves her credibility as a woman politician. Smith uses a masculine tone, simple diction, and repetition to prove to Americans and the Senate that she is a strong political figure.
...n our country. She’s saying that the advancement of women is getting stuck between a rock and a hard place. This was such a strong point in her speech because it shed light into the logical thinking, and made a historical connection to slavery. By making this connection, she was able to help many see that women were convicted slaves to the current state of the union.
People started to open their ears and their hearts. Her overall purpose is to show that there is a gap between men and women that cannot be overlooked and sidestepped for any longer. Women don't only deserve the right to vote, but they deserve the same rights as men. Applying logos, juxtaposition, and strong use of diction to her speech, she connects to her audience and reveals to them the reasons why what she is saying is crucial to the country.
