Clinton’s speech connects to all women as a whole as she explains that we as women have more things in common than differences. Clinton explains “if women are healthy, and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partner in society, their families will flourish”. Clinton engages the males in the audience when she explains that men are important in making women be equal members of society. As families grow in each other the community around them will strengthen too and everyone will be a valuable part of society. This shows women’s rights are just as important as human rights. Clinton uses this deductive reasoning to make the point to her audience that society does better as a whole if women are treated equally. Clinton states” We must recognize that women will never gain full dignity until their human rights are respected and protected.” Using this logical appeal she states the problem and then goes on to give reasoning on how we should fix it. Governments all around the world need to “accept their responsibility to protect and promote internationally recognized human
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.
Ann Richards’s keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention in 1988 was extremely interesting to watch. I believe her speech was intended to be focused on the American family and also the American farmers. These two areas seemed to be very important to Mrs. Richards and she made a point to discuss both.
“Yesterday December 7th, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy” (Roosevelt). The attack on Pearl Harbor was an event that many Americans will never forget. The day after the attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a speech to address the public and Congress. His speech started by discussing how Japan had deceived America into thinking that they could create peace between the nations. He spent three paragraphs on how the attack was planned and deliberate and how America was completely unaware of Japan’s intentions. Roosevelt spent only a little time on paying respects to the lost lives of the soldiers. After that, Roosevelt talked about how many other nations Japan has attacked. Then Roosevelt started the “pep talk” portion of his speech. He talked about the strength of the nation and how America will defend themselves against evil forces. He ends his speech with a call for war and asked Congress to declare war against Japan. The goal of his speech was to persuade Congress to declare war on Japan, as well as to get the American people to support him in his endeavors. Roosevelt gave his speech in front of Congress, but the American people all over the nation tuned into the radio to hear his speech. Roosevelt uses many rhetorical devices to get American to unite against Japan. His speech uses the rhetorical devices logos, ethos, and pathos to argue his side. He uses
Though Kennedy and Clinton addressed their audiences nearly thirty-two years apart, each rhetor faced a common rhetorical barrier – an American populace too heavily focused on the personalities within each respective presidential election rather than the true issues confronting the United States. To overcome that barrier, both Kennedy and Clinton utilize definitional strategies – in the form of association – as well as language strategies –specifically, historical allusions. Whether or not the speeches directly correlate with both candidates winning their presidential elections does not concern the examination; this paper observes how exactly the rhetorical devices used served to dissolve the barriers between the rhetor and the intended audience.
“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.
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.
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.
All in all, Hilary Clinton really makes it clear that women’s rights are also human rights as well, that we can no longer abuse our mothers, sisters, and daughters anymore, that what women go through nowadays is inhumane and needs to come to an end; only then, can we live in peace. She makes these points using the three main rhetorical devices, ethos, pathos, and logos, as well as her clever use of diction, repetition and
Clinton repeats the words “If women” followed by “will” (Clinton), this gives the audience a reason to accept her propositions. Good outcomes come with good actions. 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 in 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.
Kathleen Cleaver’s tone in her speech, Ministry of Information Black Paper, is serious because she wants black Americans to know they are being taken advantage in politics. She informs her audience, “The Black Party for Self Defense demands that bootlicking come to screeching halt in 1968.” They were tired of having to deal with all this racism and discrimination against black Americans and thought they needed to put a stop to it. Cleaver’s speech first informs her audience of continuous abuse of black Americans from white supremacists. The point of informing first is to give her audience background information when listening to her argument. She includes the reasons for whites bringing blacks to the United States from the beginning, “The power structure has never done anything to advance the interests of blacks except when their own interests were also served.” Cleaver believes blacks have always satisfied the interests of other but their own. She
...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.
During her early life, Hillary Clinton learned that a huge problem across the globe was gender inequality. Women and men were not equal. Men were making more money than women for the same jobs. She believed she could change this. On September 5, 1995 Hillary Clinton gave a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. Clinton uses powerful rhetoric in order to create an air of sympathy for women among her audience. She is hoping to make the world become more aware of the inequalities women face daily while also making them feel ashamed for their previous actions of discriminating women, which would cause them to change their ways. She uses her speech “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights” to create awareness of the discrimination
2016 was figured to be a year where everyone would be treated equally. It was the year that the new generations were supposed to step up to the task to rid the country of inequality. However as far as women, racial, and LGBT rights have come there are still issues on these topics popping up all over our beloved nation. Despite how far we have come in equality in our country we often forget how we got here. In the 1990’s women’s rights were still a touchy subject to some countries. However at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995 Hillary Clinton, a Harvard Law School graduate and wife of former president Bill Clinton, was nominated to speak about the problems that women and young girls were forced to face in other countries.
On September 5, 1995, first lady Hillary Clinton delivered a speech on women’s rights at the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. The conference was held in Beijing China a city where there is a lack of rights for men and especially women. Clinton challenges the audience of thousands “If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights once and for all.” This chiasmus identifies that the phrase women’s rights is interchangeable with human rights. The purpose of the conference was to educate the audience of government officials and the public on the problems women throughout the world face. Clinton’s speech argued that women were not treated
Renowned British actress and activist for the feminist movement, Emma Watson, in her speech to the United Nations, “HeForShe,” argues that gender discrimination is a plague to human civilization. Watson’s purpose is to sway the audience that gender inequality has to come to an end, with the support of men and women as advocates for egalitarianism. Additionally, she enlightens the audience that the problem originated from political affairs, the economy, and social disparity. Watson creates a compassionate tone in order to convey men, specifically those who negatively perceived feminism or did not think that feminist issues affected them. Nevertheless, Watson’s speech is ineffectively persuasive due to the poor description she formulated
