Although peace was already a prevalent trait in Costa Rica, “it had heavy foreign indebtedness and other economic problems” (Oscar 550). When President Oscar Arias took over, his steady and innovative leadership ensured lasting peace and prosperity. Costa Rica’s success is largely due to the fact that Oscar Arias set down the necessary foundations. If it weren’t for Oscar Arias, Costa Rica would not be called the Switzerland of Central America (Langley 234). Arias perfected Costa Rica’s democratic government, education, transportation, and communication by placing the necessary laws in action.
He says “put their hands on the arc of history and bend it” in reference to his audience. The “arc of history” is an abstract noun, But Obama describes it in context with a proper noun, developing the technique further, allowing his thoughts to synchronise with those of the audience. The fact that they can bend “The arc of history” to shape a better future is a conclusion to his argument on the power of democracy, the power that America holds dear. At this point, Obama is starting to gain the support of his worldwide audience; the

How accurate is it to say Martin Luther King was a successful leader in the civil rights movement? It is accurate to say Martin Luther King was successful to a large extent because of factors such as, his philosophy, his determination and courage and character traits. However his leadership skills can be limited because of the failed campaigns such as Birmingham. The biggest reason he was a successful leader would be his philosophy and the smallest reason behind his success would be his determination. Firstly, his character traits including his oratory skills, his Nobel Peace Prize and his famous I Have A Dream speech were instrumental in his success as the face of the Civil Rights campaign.
It gives people a more personal view.” This personal view is what Beah had aimed for. He spoke of human context and how important it was for people to have in order to understand anything in the world. His book gave people in the United States that human context. It was this human context that allowed people to realize and comprehend the wars going on in Africa. “We are trying to promote awareness and discussion,” said Professor Paul Moriarty of the department of Philosophy.
They praised Washington and called the school “the greatest institution of its kind in the world.” Washington in turn emphasized the support and encouragement that he received from local whites. The model-community idea furthered Washington’s goal of making Tuskegee Institute a demonstration of the industry and good character of blacks, and example of what they could do when given opportunity and good leadership.” (Norrell 22) The above quote is from Robert J. Norrell’s Reaping the Whirlwind. This quote is from the beginning of the book describing the Tuskegee Institute which was one of the first major civil rights victories for blacks in Alabama. The Tuskegee Institute would not only
The changes that occurred in Africa caused for Africa to become a premier area on the rise as a result of European influence. The social changes in Africa caused for Africa to have a series of public reformations which caused for Africa to become a more civilized area. Bethwell Ogot prominent historian and author of African Political, Economics and Social Structures During this Time Period analyzed how the religion had a major impact on the societal changes in Africa, “In the religious area, European and Middle Eastern philosophies and religions in Africa began to impinge, with Christianity and Islam becoming political forces in new areas”(Ogot 24). Islam and Christianity would play a significant part in the social changes of Africa because it allowed for the development of Africa into a more civilized area. These two religions were brought to Africa from foreign countries therefore the presence of foreign nations would play a significant role in the development of Africa.
These three appeals make the speech livelier and let the listener or reader connect with the speaker. Ethos is an appeal that deals with the speakers’ credibility. The President makes the first appeal to ethos in the beginning of the paragraph by stating, “I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed and mindful for the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.” He just telling us that he is thankful to us that we have elected him as our president to tackle all the problems that his country is facing. There was another statement that really built his ethos. He mentioned that there was once a time when a black man, like his father, would not be served in public restaurants.
With the ideas of slavery many men will become and remain profitable and money will only benefit our society and allow the United States to grow.

It was reverend Martin Luther King and other great people like him in history, people with a desire for justice and equality, that eventually brought equality or at least reasonable equality in comparison to the inequalities that once existed in the United States of America. It is absolutely astounding that today the USA has a black president, this is a wonderful testament to those that sacrificed so much to see those of cultural and ethnic minority recognised as equal. It is not so much the battle for equality that is going to be examined in this essay however, a different view is going to be looked at, as every story has two sides it is important to look at the other side from time to time. This is not meant as from a point of pity, but more from a point of view that we can understand what happened and how it was allowed to develop into the complete degradation of a people based solely on their race and the exploitation of these people to the benefit of the few. In this essay we are going to summarise why the wealthy and powerful white Americans, those few that made so much from the oppression of the African Americans, required such in equality and why it was worth fighting for?
