Christianity and Islam’s Attitudes on Merchants and Trade Christianity and Islam’s attitudes towards merchants and trade were that they discourage people for becoming rich, emphasize trade as if it’s a good thing for society, and tolerate it as long as it’s fair. Documents #1 and #4 shows how Christianity is different in their attitude towards merchants and trade than Islam in that they discouraged people or society for becoming rich and wealthy which were mostly the merchants. Matthew, (1) author of the book of “Matthew” in the New Testament, wrote that a rich man has a hard time entering heaven and discourages wealthy people for their inability to inherit the Kingdom of God. He probably had this point of view because he wanted to reach out to the poor people who were more open to his message and accept Christianity. It was a new religion in that time and he wanted more people to join and spread his religion everywhere.
These sentences give his speech more depth which can be considered hidden energy. Through antithesis, Kennedy shows his purpose is to target things that they should do by first telling them what they should not do in order to achieve unity and liberty. Declarative sentences show that the speaker is not afraid, not uncertain and is a powerful leader. If Kennedy had shown weakness, the public would not trust him and other countries would try to take advantage of
Some of the techniques I noticed were syntax, repetition, logos, and finally, pathos. Eisenhower’s Inaugural Speech of 1953 was very successful in connecting to his listeners. He was able to get his penultimate purpose across, which was that the country needed to band together once more to stay strong against the flare up of communism, but I believe his ultimate purpose was to keep the country moral high, and keep the people together, so they could overcome anything, whether it be communism or aliens. The United States of America will forever be banded together after this

He won the Democratic nomination on November 8, 1960; Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon and won the Presidency of the United States. He was sworn into office on January 20, 1961. The most remembered part of his inaugural address was his world famous quote, “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Kennedy’s presidency was very active and addresses many major issues. Here are some highlights of his more memorable dealings while in office.
John F. Kennedy in his inaugural speech addresses to America, USSR, and to the nation. He sets the tone for his presidency by being stern, inspiring, and engaging. He states that if we all come together we can end tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. Kennedy establishes his vision for the United States. He begins his inaugural speech by using parallelism to emphasize the importance of his victory in the presidential race.
Economic/Political Analysis Are the poor and the wealthy equally concerned about the “freedom from fear”? Compare and contrast both speeches to answer this question. Unlike President Obama in President Roosevelt's speech the poor and wealthy are equally concerned about the “freedom of fear.” Truth be told, there are many things in this world that a lot of people may fear, the dark may witness one of your darkest secrets. According to Theodore Roosevelt “We don't have to fear anything in this world, but fear itself” so lets not sit back and wait on someone to take action first just because you're not as wealthy as others don't mean you can't have any contributions in this world. In one of Roosevelt's speeches he said “You don't have to have money to be happy happiness comes from achievement“ which was absolutely right, money don't bring you happiness, because you can be as depressed as people without money.
THE POWER OF JOHN F. KENNEDY’S INAUGURAL SPEECH IN MODERN POLITICAL WORLD Inaugural addresses are given by leaders at the beginning of a new administration or term. It signifies the vision, mission and goals of the new government. Furthermore, it sums up the current situation of a nation and its plans for the future. Kennedy’s inaugural address was different from the speeches of his predecessors because it held ideas that were timeless, unique and universal which could be applied by leaders of any nation at any given time even in modern political world. For instance, freedom and human rights, foreign aid policy, Global solidarity and so forth.
John F. Kennedy addressed the country as President for the first time on January 20, 1961, keeping the audience thinking about the future of the United States, but the future of other countries as well. In this Inaugural Address, Kennedy uses antithesis to set up a way of thinking that has to be broken down in order to fully understand what the point is, which is bettering our country as well as others. John F. Kennedy appeals the country through antithesis in his Inaugural Address by engaging the U.S. citizens to think about branching out to help other countries as well as improving the United States. Kennedy has many valid points on branching out of the United States to help those in other countries. Although, Kennedy gets his audience, Americans, engaged through antithesis, “Support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Kennedy switched up the words in his speech to get the audience thinking positively about supporting those who want the help of the United States.
A final less important reason was that the Lords believed that it was the fault of the poor that they were destitute in the first place. They believed there was no reason why they should be let off more lightly and have to pay less taxes when it was their own fault for being in that position in the first place. They argued there were other ways to raise money that wouldn’t affect the rich as much, such as through tariffs on foreign
A Letter to the Editor It is Walter Cuffey's opinion that providing free housing and healthcare naturally would diminish people's desire to work for the government and pay their taxes, which in the long run would lead the country to bankruptcy. This contradicts Congressman Jesse Jackson Junior's opinion who believes it simply would create millions of jobs in the housing and health care industries and because of that generate a greater economic prosperity. I do not believe that the free housing Jackson mentions is meant to be expensive and luxurious. However, by free housing I imagine, he in point of fact means shelter, so that no-one in America have to live on the street. Once you have got a roof over your head, a solid base to return to,
