Abraham Lincoln In Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural speech, his tone, style, and religious references keeps citizens and the audience present to believe there s hope and there are better things to come from what has occurred and what is to come. The country will reunite and become one. Lincoln tired to not be hard and blunt to offend the confederate states but he still restates the conflict. If he were to offend the Confederacy it would only make the problems occurring to become worse. He says that the states were on the verge of jeopardizing the union and country.
Safire discusses how Lincoln used the “Declaration of Independence when stating “that all men are created equal” (Safire 42). Safire continues discussing this same idea in the eighth paragraph to highlight his argument about the image of birth with the wording of the beginning of the “Declaration of Independence.” Safire also discusses how Lincoln, like many other speechwriters, employ other great speakers into their speeches when discussing how Lincoln used Reverend Theodore Parker’s words in the conclusion of his speech, but that “Lincoln, . . ., dropped the ‘alls’ and made the phrase his own” (43). Wood also analyzes Obama’s use of references in his election night speech.
Both poems have many common elements but are very different. The narrator of “The Soldier” speaks of what he wishes for others to think about him if he dies. In the first paragraph, he says that a corner of a foreign field, implied to be his resting place, is forever England, his homeland. Although the poem is talking about the possibility of death from a war, the poem portrays that death as bringing the essence of the narrator’s homeland into the Earth along with his body. Because that is the focus of the poem, the word “England” or “English” is repeated six times throughout its fourteen lines.
Outline the main features of situation ethics (21 marks) Situation ethics was an ethic that was created by Joseph Fletcher. It is a method of ethical decision making, that you must consider agape when choosing what to do and that a moral decision is correct if it is the most loving thing to do. By making this ethic, Fletcher was hoping that by adapting the bible to the modern society and make it less religious, that everyone would follow it no matter their religion. He said ‘’morality of an action depends on the situation’’ and Robinson said ‘’man come of age’’ to show what he was trying to create. That everything that is done no matter how cruel it may be to some, can be justified.
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
With the win at Gettysburg it turned around the whole civil war. Before Gettysburg the Union had lost mostly all of the battles. Gettysburg was made into a burial ground for over seven thousand soldiers. The family members of these seven thousand soldiers were ecstatic about Lincoln’s address. The families were happy that Lincoln would set aside a special place for their fallen loved ones.
After refreshing the audience on American tradition he states what he feels America is today and affirms that he will do what is best for America, regardless of religion. His organization involves a lot of small points made throughout with powerful statements and American ideals strung throughout. He doesn’t use one exceptionally powerful situation but spreads his strong points throughout the entire speech. Kennedy briefly strays from the issue when he is tracing back American History, but he does so in short sections and always states how it relates back to helping prove his point. He is able to stay on track and use powerful statements because of the way the speech is set up in small sections.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Paul was speaking about how as Christians, we should not strive to follow the mold of society, but rather follow the will of the Lord. At times, this can be difficult for a Christian business owner, yet the rewards for the Lord will outweigh the financial gains from following society. Kotler and Keller explain that one area of marketing that Romans 12:2 applies to is that of social responsibility marketing. “Because the effects of marketing extend beyond the company and the customer to society as a whole, marketers must consider the ethical, environmental, legal, and social context of their roles and activities” (Kotler and Keller, 2012, p. 22).
With Henry appealing to something like faith that the audience members held so dearly he was able to not only capture their attention, but keep their attention and ultimately persuaded them to his sentiments. Henry untimely wanted the audience to know he would rather die for his country then to be without freedom. Within his speech Henry informed the Virginians what they had been doing in an attempt to achieve peace, was not successful nor would it ever be. (2) The receptive audience felt the same sentiments as Henry. Henry’s speech was a pivotal point in American History.
People who were under him as president must have enjoyed having a loyal educated president who knew what he was doing. With his high knowledge in political philosophy, he set an example for his fellow citizens over the course of nearly half a century. He summed up the lessons he'd learned in his "Farewell Address to the People of the United States," with its central theme of union based on the primacy of the Constitution. He spoke out his theme with warnings to steer clear of sectional and political divisions. Washington also advised on foreign relations; on the role of religion, morality and education in public life; and on the need to protect public credit and stabilize commercial and manufacturing interests.
