I think that Franklin and Paine both show very different temperaments in their essays. I prefer Franklin’s discussion about the Native Americans over Paine’s because he doesn’t discriminate them; rather he brings out a lot of positive aspects about the Indians. While I was reading the essay, I asked myself, ‘who is he pertaining to as the savages? The white men or the Native Americans?’ because he never described the Indians as savages, except to only simply point out that their cultures are different. It seemed to me that Franklin had a lot of respect and admiration towards the Native American Indians by the amount he quoted them.
Barack Obama has shown a natural aptitude for public speaking and always keeps himself composed with an air of confidence. In both his acceptance speech and the interview with Ellen, Obama shows that he is capable of handling different situations with different levels of formality, and still create a strong rapport with his audience. He uses his enticing voice and natural charm to appeal to the audience, combined with his manipulation of his paralinguistic features. In both incidences of public speaking, Obama is loved by his audience, and he plays on this affection to his advantage. To begin with, Obama’s entrance on the acceptance speech is rather different to when he appears on Ellen, due to the drastic change of formality.
Both speeches I Have a Dream and Glory and Hope are similar because of the author's motivation and the purpose he wanted his words to create and fulfill. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s motivation was to move his people, to get everyone believing that things would get better, to push the system along its route to equality and freedom. “So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition … We have also come to this hollowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now,” (King). King is talking about the need for an end of the treatment of the African American people, and the tiring wait for change. Nelson Mandela's motivation was to let his listeners know that the future would hold something better, and to state that the doors to freedom are unlocked.
They have many tasks to do when they are earning our freedom. They have to give up their lives, because they don’t now what is coming, they have to survive, and they have to push to succeed. They should feel absolute pride when giving us our freedom because they know that they have accomplished something
A Cosmopolitan Controversy Patriotism is devotion, love and support to ones country. Cosmopolitanism is freedom from provincial or national ideas. People have different feelings and devotions surrounding these two ideas, making for a very interesting debate. Richard Rorty argues that, “Most of us, despite our feelings about government, identify with our countries.” In Rorty’s script he makes sure to highlight his point that Americans need Patriotism to accurately judge our communities and ourselves. Fixed the sentence structure of the last two sentences to make it easier to read and so that the reader won’t have to go bad and read it again to understand.
Locke argues that all men are of the same species making them all equal and placed on the same rank. He uses this to justify why all human beings deserve to participate in government and not be ruled blindly by an absolute monarch. During this time kings were viewed as superior to other human beings; Locke argues that since we all are of the same species that their is no “superior” human being. This point then helps Locke explain why all humans deserve to take part in how they are governed. Along with his ideas of human equality and the elimination of social hierarchy, Locke also advocated man's natural right to freedom.
Critique about Robert Kennedy eulogy Ted Kennedy´s eulogy of Robert Kennedy is an emotional speech in which Robert Kennedy´s life and experiences were expressed. The speech delivery was good; Ted explained the view of Robert Kennedy about life and society, and his eulogy was elaborated but hard to be understood by the common public. However, focusing and analyzing on his speech lead to a better understanding. His voice is very direct, and persuasive; in other words, he has a good use of voice. In some parts of his speech, he has expressed such powerful emotions toward his brother, making the audience feel what the speaker felt during his brother´s assassination.
