People aren’t forced to join the armed forces; they volunteer. When the courageous men and women register to join the services they know the dangers they will face. They joined to defend their homeland of America and the people living there. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington was a very important military officer. His army won America’s freedom from Great Britain.
Thesis Statement: President Barack Obama is not the best choice for President of the United States due to the fact he is pro war, he does not put the American people’s needs first, and he is a liar. The president of the United States, What comes to your mind when you picture the person that is running our country? I picture an honest, person, with honor and integrity, compassion and a firm hand in giving the American People the best he can. The President should be doing things to better American people and America itself for that matter. I do believe that the current President, Barack H. Obama, is not the best choice for the American people.
First, he became a more focused and more disciplined version of Bush when it came to counter terrorism policy: He killed Osama bin Laden, pulverized al Qaeda, and has so far prevented another attack on the continental United States. Protecting the homeland is the organizing principle of a nation's foreign policy. If you can't do that, you really don't need a foreign policy. Second, Obama committed himself to (and is succeeding in) extricating America from the two longest wars in our history -- wars that were among our most pointless, given what we sacrificed and what we've gotten in return. Third, he kept us out of new ones.
Americans should not be seen as Americans the big bullies, where we wave our flag proud in the face of other countries in times of a war. Singing a national anthem is something that should make you feel proud. Singing the national anthem should not require you to read between the lines to understand what you are singing. Our current anthem gives you a negative feeling when you figure out the meaning to the lyrics. Americans know that the star spangled banner is the national anthem but do not know the words to it.
Greece had the first known democracy. The Greek states, ruled by Pericles, had three goals, to strengthen democracy, hold strength in the empire, and to glorify Athens. Pericles stated that he wanted all citizens to have an equal opportunity to serve the public. Ancient Greece's philosophers too have made contributions to world culture. Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato are some of the most well known philosophers ever.
He ironically went on to be known as “The Greatest.” Ali arrived on the boxing scene by winning a Gold medal in the 1960 Olympics. Also, Americans looked with suspicion upon his association with the Nation of Islam and exchanging his “birth name” Cassius Clay for Muhammad Ali, who went against discrimination and unfair treatment of African-Americans. Secondly, Ali's skills were not of this world compared to other heavyweights at the time. With his
Jeremy Cooper Rhetoric Theory The definition that best fits my description of rhetoric would be the study of writing or speaking as a means of communication or persuasion skill in the effective use of speech. Rhetoric is the effective use of language. Many great orators use rhetoric in many ways to reach their audience. Many of the great philosophers used rhetoric as a way to persuade others. Plato: “Rhetoric is the art of winning the soul by discourse.” Aristotle: “Rhetoric is the faculty of discovering in any particular case all of the available means of persuasion.” Cicero: “Rhetoric is one great art comprised of five lesser arts: invention, disposition, elocution, memoria, and pronuciato.
From there, the writing is going to tell what happened before the event as well as what happened after. The writer also needs a purpose for writing this assignment. Details of the examples are going to be useful for shaping the argument as well. Argument An argument needs to have punch to it in order to be effective.

If I get drafted to go to war it would be a hard decision to make if I would go or not because you may never get to come back alive. Thinking about it I would definitely go to war because it’s the right thing to do. If you love your country why not go to war to defend its freedom for your family and every citizen that lives in it. Your country is your home a real man would do anything to defend their home. America is a free country and I agree with the opposing person that wouldn’t go because it forced on them.
Taking one of the texts as your starting point, discuss what motivates young people to fight for their country. The three texts each give a different view on Americans entry the army and America’s wars around the world. In text one Sarah Palin tells us how great she thinks it is that the youth doesn’t take their freedom for granted, and actually go out into the world and defend their families and the rights of the free Americans. The second text has a bit more of a negative tone to it. While the Kahlor’s thinks it is great that the Americans go out and defend their country, they don’t thinks that the country does enough for those that return home, using their son as an example; the country didn’t offer an effective form of PTSD treatment, and they believe it was worth the risk.
