He should be somewhat of an educated man to have accomplished being a lawyer, the 19th president of Columbia University, an IV lead University. It’s ridiculous for him to let his ethics and knowledge of presenting an introduction the correct way over feelings. Lee Bollinger presented all of the negative things about Ahmadinejad and quoted saying that would upset people and make them dislike him. His aim was to turn people against Ahmadinejad and persuade them to do the same as him, which is criticize pass judgment. Bollinger literally misunderstood his position as an introducer and made himself look bad.
This is emphasised in the funeral eulogies of Brutus and Antony. Brutus in his funeral eulogy is aiming at the reason and the logic of the Roman public in order to justify his actions. This is evident in his use of Locus read throughout his speech; the use of rhetorical questions is aimed solely so that no one can disagree in fear of being seen as a traitor of Rome. In his opening line “Romans, countrymen and lovers” the facing of Romans as the first word highlights what Brutus believes in – the democracy and the republic of Rome. This is deliberately aimed at showing the public his honour and that he will do anything for Rome “I loved Caesar but I love Rome more” the use of the emotive language and the repetition of love further highlight this.
Journalist covering the war would portray the war the way the they or the government felt was acceptable for Americans to see. Example, taking pictures of soldiers dead in the line of battle but moving their corpse to a different setting to make the picture more gruesome or more honorable. Cartoons were another way for the government to manipulate political expression. Most of the cartoons of the period drawn and circulated within the United States were those of pro-Union.
“…Did they really believe that this war would end wars…it all happened again, and again, and again,” this use of rhetorical question and repetition emphasises the anti-war sentiment that both Bogle and Dawe capture. Similarly in Homecoming, it is illustrated the dehumanisation of war. “…mortuary coolness…deep-freeze…sorrowful…frozen sunset…wintering tree…bitter…grief…”through an extended metaphor, it is suggested the implications on the society from the death of thousands of loved ones; the coldness is symbolising the death, grief and struggling of society and the individual. Dehumanising effects give poets their anti-war point of view the effectively portray the bonds between the society and the
The choice is yours. If you believe that the media is right so be it, but if you think they are wrong look into it. But if you think they are right, you can tell all the war veterans and current soldiers that what they did as a living is wrong and is a disgrace. See what they have to say to you. They put their life on the line to protect the sorry Americans who are to caught up in what they drive and how they look to look at the big picture.
He continues by claiming that denying housing and employment for smokers is a form of public hostility. This is a false analogy, and where Scott uses the term “discrimination” in an inappropriate manner. Racial and ethnic discrimination is different because people do not choose to be a certain race like choosing to be a smoker. Furthermore, people do not negatively affect others in their vicinity with secondhand ethnicity. By stating that nonsmokers “force their beliefs on the rest of society,” Scott suggests that smokers are victims of violences, and are threatened with restriction of the First Amendment.
He even questions himself when he says “I wonder sometimes how things might have turned out had those ads actually run. Not so much whether I would have won or lost but rather how the voters would have perceived me…” (133) Obama just stated how he cares more about how the people views him rather than his endorsements and rather than him losing or winning. Obama has been very blunt about his passion of serving the people of the United States of America time and time again, and he believes every politician should hold that component lose to their hearts rather than taking these offers from endorsers and expecting “special interest” out of them. This can be prevented in the future if politicians would focus on the big picture of the people and how to better the country and the people rather than their political race. Not only focus and care about the people, like Obama displays, but also for the politicians to change their attitude and views.
Firstly, it only gives one side of the story of the anti war views because the source says "I WANT OUT". This shows that America is battered and bruised because it doesn't say anything about people who supported the war. The representation is also not objective because it has a emotional tone to it so the image of America would make many people feel sorry for America so it makes them pull out of the
I felt Kane’s argument was a bit ineffective since he kept focusing more on Jim Getty (his competition) thus making him look like a bad person. It seemed as if Boss Jim Getty had committed some crime, however Kane did not explain what he had done wrong. I do feel that he made those who were classified in the lower-class happy that someone wanted to do something to help them. However, Kane forgot to mention what his promise to help this class of people would entitle. I believe that without mentioning what you would like to do in order to help people out you leave the audience doubting if your promise will live up to it.
The seminar was very opinionated by all who talked. The songs have different opinions about America and the seminar was informative on what other people around me believe the stereotypical American is like and what they think of what our country does. Some of the songs we herd in class were very patriotic in my opinion. “Proud to be an American” is an example of a patriotic song. When Lee Greenwood sings, “I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.” , he is saying that being free is what he believes it means to be am American.
