Rhetorical Appeals In 2008, the Presidential Election came but with a change “for a national evolution (even revolution).” It was between two strong competitors; Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama; both offered a new change for the presidential title. Toni Morrison, a professor at Princeton University, wrote a letter to Senator Obama in hopes of gathering supporters by using logos, pathos and ethos to convince voters to vote for Obama as president. While introducing the concept that neither race nor gender matters when choosing a fit candidate, Morrison strengthens her argument by addressing the opposing side and making a logical argument , As she describes her thoughts towards Senator Clinton, Morrison says “that no liberal women has ever ruled in America.” This builds on her argument because all people reference the superior as “The Man” and some still over look women. Even though being a women and being married to a former President, Bill Clinton, gives Hilary Clinton an advantage for the candidacy, people still weren’t going to vote for her because of her gender and how she’s more stringent than former presidents.
Interview Women’s Voting in: America Thesis: Today in society women play a large role in not only the economy, but also have created a large impact on the decisions to better the United States as a whole.

The audience seems to be predominately women, and involved in politics, or related educational fields. Baker’s speech was to inform and inspire them. The final speech was, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” delivered at the 1995 United Nation’s 4th World Conference on Women by First Lady Hillary Clinton. Her speech was about the rights and equality of women and that by bettering women’s lives it will bolster children and families too. Clinton’s speech to the UN World Conference on Women seems to be a perfectly tailored audience for her message, and that audience can heed her call to action if her speech inspires them.

All the debates offer is an opportunity to see a President laid bare without the constant media spin and give the American public an opportunity to decide what to focus on. Despite this, however, the tradition of debating between presidential candidates has many fans for a number of reasons. One key reason is that Americans are not offered the opportunity to see regular presidential scrutiny unlike the UK where ministers are grilled weekly, therefore this gives the electorate a prime opportunity to see how a candidate deals with pressure and whether they can debate effectively. These debates also offer a rare chance to see true political straight talking – an opportunity so often denied to so many Americans, one common host chooses the topics of the debate in private and allots time rigidly, not allowing the audience to make any noise in reaction to what the candidates say. With methods like these ranting is kept to a minimum and destroys any scent of

At the time I did not believe the story or more likely I didn’t care what the U.S. government was doing but the film got me by shock with so much evidence it presented and how corrupt a government official could be for their own self-interest. I thought this film was great because it could inform people like myself who doesn’t have a lot of interest in politics and government policies and could make people start to have some interest in politics after watching the film. Film was fascinating in that it had many criticism about the Bush government that could have been sensitive for many government officials. The part where the war is used to make coalition was very impressive and asking congressman to make their children go into army was even more impressive since such sensitive topic could degrade their name values and can be libelous. I haven’t seen a film like this that criticizes the government only with facts and criticize what the government did wrong and should change.
