    In 1861, when the United States is split in two and on the brink of a Union divide, many took this time to stand up and voice their opposing opinions. We will observe two speeches given by authority figures who are standing on opposite sides of the seemingly impenetrable divide in the nation. Abraham Lincoln, the current president, for the Union and John S. Preston representing the nascent Confederacy. They each speak of their views on legalities and justifications of States seceding from the Union and their opinions of the opposing side.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of President Barack Obama's Speech To The Nation On Syria

    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    His dramatic diction when referring to the Bashar al-Assad regime depicts the Syrian government as a wicked monster, which is exactly what the President wishes to do in order to more easily convince his citizens. Words such as “oppressive” and “gruesome” are only some of the many emotionally appealing words that President Barack Obama incorporates in his argumentative speech (Obama par 2 and 4). Also, only a couple of minutes into the speech, President Barack Obama uses vivid imagery to depict the innocent people of Syria who were unfortunately killed by poisonous gases that the Syrian government deployed themselves. President Obama ensures that his audience feels sickened and hatred towards the Bashar al-Assad regime by including detailed descriptions of the victims. He describes the Syrian “men, women, [and] children lying in rows, killed by poison gas” and those that were “foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath” (Obama par 3). The most powerful image that President Barack Obama incorporates is that of a “father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk” (Obama par 3). This image, as well as the others, undoubtedly causes the audience to feel sympathy towards the Syrian victims and definitely loathing of the Syrian regime for doing something so

  • Violence and Crisis in Syria

    An attack on the Syrian state would fall within the boundaries of the international concept of the responsibility to protect. The crisis in Syria has escalated by protests in March 2011 calling for the release of all political prisoners. National security forces responded to widespread peaceful demonstrations with the use of brutal violence. The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad refused to stop attacks and allow for implementation of the reforms requested by the demonstrators. By July 2011, firsthand accounts emerged from witnesses, victims, and the media that government forces had subjected innocent civilians to detention, torture, and the use of heavy weaponry. The Syrian people were also subjected to the Shabiha, a largely armed state sponsored militia fighting with security forces. Al-Assad continually denied responsibility to these crimes and placed blame on the armed groups and terrorists for these actions.

    As the Arab Spring enters its second year, major uprisings and revolts have occurred all over the Middle East, pushing for an end to the corrupt autocratic rule and an expansion of civil liberties and political rights. Most recently, images from Syria have emerged, depicting the government’s use of force to suppress the voice of its people. One might ask, “Is this the beginning of a revolution? Is the country on the path to democracy?” To assess this question and examine the future trends in the region, one must look back on the country’s somewhat tumultuous history, the relationship between the citizens and the state, and the political economy.
