Success Through Success Ever pay attention to the manipulation of words used by presidents when giving a speech? Until reading “A Nation of Victims” by Reanna Brooks, and “Why JFK’s Inaugural Succeeded” by Thurston Clarke; the manipulation of words were subliminal. Brooks presents the audience with an analysis on President George W. Bush’s manner of speech. Brooks feels that despite his verbal blunders and linguistic stumbles, his words are purposely selected to hide certain issues and to negatively frame opposing view points. Also, Brooks says that Bush’s speeches are emotionally charged, “dependency-creating” and thus provoking fear amongst his listeners.

Senator Paine has made an argument that is both extremely immoral and also very smart. He says that in order to run your district well you have to “play ball” and do some dirty work to accomplish your goals. In the movie Paine makes deals with someone in order to get particular votes in his favor. As a member of the senate, Paine is trying to please his people by giving them what they want, and if you must do some immoral tasks to do this then so be it. As Machiavelli said, “The ends justify the means.” As long Senator Paine is doing these things for the good of the state rather than the good of himself, it is necessary to make these compromises of one’s principles.
The reader can sense because the children see watching a crime seen as a form of entertainment that they may be desensitized because this may be a common occurrence. The tone the author uses gives insight into Oswalds search for power, which may have lead him to the assassination of JFK. It is excerpts from the passage such “gripping heavy chains,” (line 44) and “how do we know the momentum is not insane,” ( line 48) that hints toward the power struggle that is present in Oswald’s life.

The second characteristic of an ideal discourse community is the concept that the individuals share ideas amongst one another. Open communication is vital to any social group and this idea holds true for a discourse community. When congress meets to discuss various topics and debate on major issues within our country, there are many heated debates which take place.

Communication is key amongst any association which meets to share certain perceptions and find solutions to diversified dilemmas.

Politics was once a game featuring competitors from elite classes. Placing theory on the scales of justice and weighing it against practice can produce similar results to contrasting iphone 6ism and post-iphone 6ism. To quote style icon Maximilian Lionel Forbes Dickinson 'consciousness complicates a myriad of progressions.' [2] I argue that his insight into iphone 6 provided the inspiration for these great words. Perhaps the word which sums up the importance of iphone 6 to politics is 'participation'.
