Part of my Rhetorical Analysis assignment was to do a mediated speech. This is my mediated speech. I hope those who see it can learn something or at least enjoy viewing it.
Let’s ‘cut to the chase’. The seeming secularization of America in a 'reset' is not a problem, unless a mindful, heartfulness into a great awakening doesn't fill the gap of religion being downplayed into meaninglessness.

AL Gore Columbine Speech
Nothing that I say to you can bring comfort. Nothing that anyone else can say can bring comfort. But there is a voice that speaks without words and addresses us in the depths of our being. And that voice says to our troubled souls: "Peace, be still."2 The Scripture promises that there is a "peace [of God]" that "passes [all] understanding."3
I would be misleading you if I said I understand this. I don't. Why human beings do evil, I do not understand. Why bad things happen to good people, I do not understand. Like every one of you, at such a time as this, I go on my knees and ask, "Why, Oh Lord, Why?" I do know this: At such a time we need each other.
To the families of all those who died here, I say: You are not alone. The heart of America aches with yours. We hold your agony in the center of our prayers. The entire nation is a community of shock, of love, and of grief. May you feel the embrace of the literally hundreds of millions who weep with you. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."4
And our thoughts are with the many who bore injury; we hope and pray along with their families that they will be whole again. One of the truths of the human condition is that suffering binds us together. Suffering lays bare our common human need for love, kindness, and grace. In our suffering all of us stand naked before God. And for all of us, the Scripture says, though it may be darkness now, "joy cometh in the morning."5
Here, in Jefferson County, the spring has yielded to a cold winter of the heart. But I am reminded of the words of a sage writer who said: "In the depths of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."6
To the world that is watching us, let us remind them that the young killers of Columbine High School do not stand for the spirit of America. America is a good and decent place; and our goodness is a light to all the nations of the world.
We have seen in this community so much of that goodness, so much healing, so much of what is best in our country. You have shown us that even in this ashen moment, there is a spark that lights our way forward.
At Columbine High School last week, this great goodness was expressed in the bravery of the teachers who risked their own lives to protect the lives of their students. These teachers knew their pupils, and loved them as if they were their own children. No one can doubt that. Their love was made not of words; there love was made of acts.
We remember among them coach and teacher Dave Sanders, who bravely led so many to safety -- but never made it out of the building himself. The young, too, were brave. The student [Aaron Hancey] with first aid training who swallowed his fear and went back into that awful, smoke-filled, terror-filled corridor to lead others in a three-hour crusade to try to save his teacher's life. There were countless acts of heroism that saved many lives.
And there was profound heroism among those wh.

Self-Reliance
from Essays: First Series (1841)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Ne te quaesiveris extra."
"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."
Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher's Honest Man's Fortune
Cast the bantling on the rocks,
Suckle him with the she-wolf's teat;
Wintered with the hawk and fox,
Power and speed be hands and feet.
ESSAY II Self-Reliance
I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional. The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may. The sentiment they instil is of more value than any thought they may contain. To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost,—— and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact, makes much impression on him, and another none. This sculpture in the memory is not without preestablished harmony. The eye was placed where one ray should fall, that it might testify of that particular ray. We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents..

This is a Slide-Show which is used with music in my Community Cohesion workshops. I can provide with music on a DVD from my website.
The slide-show takes 20 minutes and contains over 200 slides. It introduces life on the planet, family and friends before exploring some causes of suffering - war, poverty and global warming.
Some images are disturbing so I would not show this to anyone under 14 years of age. It is really designed for KS4 and older.

He is transfigured before us, and we see
Him whom we have been following, no longer
merely the Prophet of Nazareth, the Teacher
of long ago, the object of other men's worship,
but clearly revealed to our ovm. spirit's gaze
in a radiance that is not of this world — the fa-
miliar story of His life illuminated with a new
and dazzling light that shows us that He who
told us to take up the cross and follow Him,
to lose our lives for His sake if we would find
them was no mere utterer of precepts, no mere
proclaimer of doctrines, but Himself through
life and death, verily and indeed the true em-
bodiment, the one and only incarnation for us
men and for our salvation of that eternal life
and love — that what He is God Himself is.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

6. ETHOS
“No society will ever be perfect. But that we know
how things should be: a community of goodness, of
reason, of moral strength. -- So teach us to number
our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
“More than ever I realize that every one of us is
responsible for the children of our culture.”
7. PATHOS
“I WOULD BE MISLEADING YOU IF I SAID I UNDERSTAND THIS. I DON’T!”
“YOU ARE NOT ALONE: THE HEART OF AMERICA ACHES WITH YOURS. WE HOLD
YOUR AGONY IN THE CENTER OF OUR PRAYERS. THE ENTIRE NATION IS A
COMMUNITY OF SHOCK, OF LOVE, AND OF GRIEF. MAY YOU FEEL THE EMBRACE
OF THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS WHO WEEP WITH YOU.”
8. LOGOS
“Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
“Those who suffer for righteousness’ sake – theirs is the
kingdom of God.”
“No more shall be heard the sound of weeping and the cry of
distress.”
“All adults in this nation must take on the challenge of
creating in all of God’s children a clean heart, and a right
spirit within.” (2)
“We must replace a culture of violence and mayhem with one
of values and meaning. It is too easy for a young child to get a
gun – and everywhere we look, there are too many lessons on
how to use one. We can change that.” (2)
“We need to look for the earliest signs of trouble – and teach
our children to resolve their differences with reason and
conscience.”
On April 20, 1999 two senior students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, of Columbine High School, in Columbine, IL, murdered a total of 12 students and one teacher. They injured 21 additional people, with three others being injured while attempting to escape the school. The pair then committed suicide.
Albert Arnold "Al" Gore, Jr. is an American politician, advocate and philanthropist, who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States, under President Bill Clinton. Mr. Gore gives the Columbine Memorial Address on April 25, 1999 in Columbine, CO.
In the Bible, Romans 12:19 it states: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” (4)
I chose this speech because we all have heard that religion and politics do not mix. I am a born again Christian and witnessing a politician humble himself and provide solace to a group of grieving people via the words of our Lord and Savior is astounding.
This speech was done to encourage those who are grieving to seek the words of God to provide peace, tranquility and understanding of this tragedy, as well as, for the nation to come together and work on stopping violence via stricter gun laws and parents becoming more involved in their children’s lives.
Albert Arnold Gore Jr. is a Baptist and used his spiritual side as the means to make a connection with his audience.
I will delve into his speech and focus on his use of ethos, logos and pathos to engage his audience.
The rhetorical situation / context of the speech “Columbine Memorial Address”
The speaker, Al Gore, was the Vice President of the United States under William Clinton’s presidency. He was speaking at a Memorial Service held on April 25, 1999 in Columbine, CO. (2) (3)
Born in Washington, DC in 1948, Mr. Gore followed the political path. He graduated from Harvard with high honors in a degree in Government. He even served in the military during the Vietnam War where he was assigned as a military journalist. He was raised as a Baptist. (3)
He gives this persuasive speech during the Memorial Service for the Columbine High School students who tragically died — the speech seeks to provide solace and ways to try and prevent a recurrence.
The audience consists of victims of the shooting, their families, staff, and people from the community and our nation as a whole.
Al Gore’s use of ethos, pathos and logos was very effective in which it was done to show compassion, request acceptance, and lastly work towards change.
I chose this speech for two reasons. First and foremost, the spirituality used to gain an emotional connection with the audience. I am a Christian who has been serving the Lord for several months and reading this speech and seeing his reference to God was heartwarming. We live in a time where God is being removed from everything and I feel this is what has left the door open to evil. Mr. Gore’s use of scriptures from the Bible in an attempt to provide solace, peace and tranquility also provides those who believe to worship and praise him and those who don’t the possibility of seeking him, which is what our Heavenly Father wants. Secondly, I appreciate his ability to humble himself and acknowledges responsibility for the children of our culture. He doesn’t address this community as “you.” In fact, he responds with “we.”
I really enjoyed the speech. It touched my heart tremendously as I’m sure it did to those who witnessed it firsthand.
Ethos refers to trustworthiness. It is conveyed through tone and style. Mr. Gore showed ethos by acknowledging that he too is part of the solution to this problem by assuming responsibility for the children of our culture, not only his own. He even states the fact no society will be perfect which is meant to take any sense of guilt from those listening. He wants them to not blame anyone but in fact come together as a community to prevent another tragedy of this magnitude from occurring.
Al started his speech with pathos with the following statement: “I would be misleading you if I said I understand this. I don’t!” This is a perfect way to start because in all actuality no one but those who are living testaments to this horrific event actually feel something. He follows that by providing solace: “You are not alone: the heart of America aches with yours. We hold your agony in the center of our prayers. The entire nation is a community of shock, of love, and of grief. May you feel the embrace of the hundreds of millions who weep with you.”
He uses logo by arguing the need for us to come together as parents and as a community to stop this from reoccurring. He provides ways of which those affected can seek peace through God, as well as, provides ways parents can help their children and we as a community can work together. He cites scriptures such as:
Parent community involvement:
He seeks for them to work together to a place where caring and compassion is prevalent.
I really enjoyed this speech. I felt Mr. Gore did a fabulous job in this memorial service. He didn’t come here as politician but a humble member of the community. He provided words of comfort but did not provide a feeling of superiority. He did not act as if he understood because none of us who did not live it will ever understand. He did though let a community know that the nation does mourn with them, which while may not sound as much, but for someone who is in pain, to witness someone’s compassion provides even a sliver of hope!
Thank you!
