Anwar Sadat, Aung San Suu Kyi and Faith Bandler in their respective speeches “statement to the Knesset”, “Keynote Address at the Beijing World Conference on Women” and “Faith, Hope and Reconciliation”, all skillfully manipulate the art of rhetoric to explore the deeply held ideals of courage and unity.

A More Perfect Union Critique “We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.” These are the same words that were presented in the Constitution as well as used in Barack Obama’s speech, “A More Perfect Union” during his presidential primary campaign in 2008. His speech addresses the racism and inequality that still exist in America that is dividing American society instead of uniting it. Obama uses his own experiences to reach out to readers as well as using allusions from history and the patriotic meaning behind the history to incorporate pathos and ethos in his speech.
