The Audacity of Hope
President Barack Obama
2006

Author’s Perspective on Conflict
• 1. “We are also arguing about how to argue-the means, in a big
crowded, noisy democracy, of settling our dsiputes peacefully. We
want to get our way, but most of us also recognize the need for
consistency, predictability, and coherence (p. 89).”
• 2. “Indeed, part of what makes the juxtaposition of competing press
releases so alluring to reporters is that it feeds that old journalistic
standby-personal conflict (p.125).”
• 3. “…after watching anti-American sentiment rise to record levels
around the world and Afghanistan begin to slip back into chaos-I was
flying into Baghdad as a member of the Senate, partialy responsible
for trying to figure out just what to do with this mess (p. 295).”

About The Book
• The Audacity of Hope is about the trials and tribulations that Barack
Obama faced as Senator of Chicago, Illinois. The book goes through
different scenarios regarding the country, his job, and family, that he
faced during his Presidential campaign and brings up many instances
of conflict. The book also suggests a few ways that President Obama
dealt with conflict on the campaign trail.

Problem Statement
• Immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants (p. 267)
• Contradiction of faith regarding the Constitution and country (p. 215)
• Wealth and Income Inequality faced by those less fortunate (p. 193)
• Lack of National Security (p. 302)

Key Message 2
• Stand Up For What’s Right (p. 314)

Key Message 3
• Have practical, long term solutions to problems instead of quick-fixes
(p. 168)

Strengths and Weaknesses
• Felt like you were being sold something-Chapter 1-(p. 16)
• Sounded Contradictory-Chapter 3-(p. 86-89)
• Sounded Subjective and/or Jingoistic-Chapter 3-(p. 96)
• Opinion or fact given without reason or explanation-Chapter 6-(p.
218)

Conflict Resolution Strategy
• Widen perspective of politics to benefit civic life-(p. 9)
• Have rational, meaningful conversation to reach solution-(p. 134-135)

Lessons Learned
• Ways to be humble-(p. 106-107)
• Ways to argue effectively-(p. 107)

Message
• Stand up for yourself, even if you stand alone-(p. 314)

The document defines propaganda as information that is influential, one-sided, partly false or true, repetitive, used for ideological or commercial warfare, and manipulative. It discusses different types of propaganda used throughout history, including by Nazi Germany, communist states, and for pro-war efforts. Specific examples of American, communist, North Korean, and 21st century propaganda are provided. The conclusion notes propaganda is always one-sided but can have positive motivations, and emphasizes the importance of being critical thinkers.

Political speeches bush_obama

Francesca Helm

George W. Bush and Barack Obama used different rhetorical styles and language in their speeches on the war on terror and US relations with the Muslim world. Bush's 2001 speech focused on reassuring Americans and identifying al Qaeda as the enemy to fight. Obama's 2009 speech aimed to change the US relationship with the Muslim world by promoting mutual understanding and challenging stereotypes. Their word choices, tone, and rhetorical devices reflected these differing aims of confrontation versus reconciliation.

English 111 Spring 2020 Dr. De Naples Adapted from Dr. Groth’s ENG 111 assignment Essay 2: Immigration, Citizenship, National Interest Any debate about immigration is informed by ideas about the character of a nation. Immigrants impact not just the current workforce, institutions, culture, and political orientation of a society; more important, they shape the nation’s future. What is this country all about? How do we want to evolve? What kind of society do we want to be and become? While the United States has always been a country of immigrants, historically immigration was restricted in many ways. There have been waves of immigrants from different parts of the world, and at different times certain groups were deemed more desirable than others. The debate about who should be allowed to come here and ultimately become American citizens continues. The political struggle about President Trump’s proposed wall at the US-Mexican border is one manifestation of a long history of arguments for and against immigration. Assignment: Write a 3- to 4-page essay using at least 3 of the following sources as well as several interviews with people who represent the various political positions on the issue. If you like, you may use other sources, preferably articles from reputable magazines and newspapers, like The Guardian, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. You don’t have to take a position, though you are welcome to if you wish—just be sure to marshal some evidence to support your view. Either way—staying neutral or offering your opinion—your essay needs to shed light on the complex motivations and concerns of proponents and opponents of immigration. Why do people feel the way they do? Why do they get so passionate about immigration? Discuss 3 or 4 related issues, one per paragraph at minimum. (If you have more to say about a particular issue, feel free to extend your discussion to multiple paragraphs.) Make sure each paragraph uses information from a source. Below are titles of articles and web sites where you will find good sources for this assignment as well as jumping-off points for deeper exploration. I was able to find these by entering the title and author/agency into Google and clicking through to the site or the article.

1. Language and rhetoric are important tools for political persuasion and control. George Orwell showed this through the totalitarian government's use of "Newspeak" in 1984 to control thought. 2. Politicians use techniques like metaphor, euphemism, and the "rule of three" to craft persuasive messages and implicate meanings beyond the direct words. 3. Language shapes ideology and worldviews, as demonstrated by the concept of "political correctness," which influences terminology around minority groups.

This document discusses the relationship between language and politics. It makes several key points: 1) George Orwell claimed that in modern times, it is impossible to avoid politics as all issues have a political dimension. Politics involves power over decision-making and control over resources and people. 2) George Orwell's novel 1984 depicted a totalitarian society that controlled politics through restrictive language called Newspeak, showing how language shapes thought. 3) Political correctness aims to use respectful language for minority groups to avoid offense and promote equality, though some see it as manipulative.

Underlying Causes of War PPT: Trichotomy of Conflict and Levels of Analysis

CarlArtemPaca

This document discusses frameworks for analyzing conflicts, including determining their category and conducting levels of analysis. It explains Peter Wallensteen's trichotomy of conflicts as being between states, over government control, or about territory. The levels of analysis framework examines conflicts at the individual, state, and international system levels. Determining a conflict's category involves identifying its main issue, participants, and objectives. Conducting levels of analysis requires looking at influential individuals, states' internal characteristics and interests, and the international system's structures and norms.

alfredacavx97

Mary Klann HIST 110 – Fall 2019 September 20, 2019 Andrew Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth The United States saw vast industrial development in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. During this era, known as the “Gilded Age,” manufacturing industries such as steel, machinery, chemicals, and packaged foods grew, transforming the nation from a country of farmers into an industrial society. (Module 5 Lecture Slides) Ordinary Americans experienced drastic changes in their everyday lives. In addition to increasing access to technological innovations like typewriters, telephones, and refrigeration, the workplace became more mechanized and routinized. (Module 5 Lecture Slides) However, although Americans all over the country felt these changes, not everyone profited from them. The Gilded Age was an age of sweeping economic development but also extreme inequality. Leaders of newly consolidated corporations worked to improve efficiency, cut costs, and grow profits. By the 1890s, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie and other businessmen like J.D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan had accumulated vast amounts of wealth, fortunes that are “still among the largest the nation has ever seen.” (American Yawp, Ch 16, Part III) Carnegie and other “captains of industry” were part of an elite class of Americans which not only controlled the majority of the nation’s wealth, but shaped American understandings of “high” culture. (Module 5 Lecture Slides) Carnegie justified the societal and economic inequality that his own business practices exacerbated by asserting that millionaires like himself were beneficial for American society: they were “the bees that make the most honey, and contribute most to the hive even after they have gorged themselves full.” (Module 5 Lecture Slides) Commented [MCK1]: Make sure you include your name somewhere in the document. Commented [MCK2]: Use the title of the primary source for the title of your paper. Commented [MCK3]: Citations can be in this simple format. When in doubt, cite your information. Commented [MCK4]: Use direct quotes from secondary sources like the American Yawp textbook sparingly. Only use them when you are sure there is no better way to state this information. Commented [MCK5]: The historical context you highlight should be relevant to your specific source. What background information is necessary to establish before you can get into more detailed analysis of your source? In his essay, “Wealth,” published in the North American Review in 1889, Carnegie argued that inequality itself was a marker of advanced civilization. It was better, he reasoned, to have “great irregularity” between the wealth of laborers and the upper echelons of society than to have “universal squalor.” (Carnegie, Ch 16) Carnegie maintained that despite this “irregularity,” all Americans were better off in 1889 than they had been in the past.

Running head: STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY AND PEACE 1 STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY AND PEACE 5 Fight for Equality and Peace Jegede Oluwaseun Comfort Contemporary History Chamberlain University Fight for Equality and Peace Title slide The struggle for peace and equality, especially from the oppressors, is a hard task and may not be as easy as it may sound. The reason that makes it hard to attain is that the oppressors will also be struggling to continue oppressing the vulnerable and remaining at the top while subjecting the vulnerable to hard conditions. Various undertakings have to be involved and from various sections of individuals, especially the youths in the fight to attain this peace and equality for all the individuals and those that are oppressed by the oppressors. Numerous processes also have to be undertaken in the missions of struggling for peace and equality for all. As a result, it becomes important to look at various aspects that are related to the struggle for peace and equality. Youths and fight for peace and equality: The role they play in peace-building and struggle for equality. The youths have an essential role to play in the fight for equality and peace, and they are deemed to be at the forefront of this struggle. Specifically, according to Felice, (2016), the youths play the role of supporting advocacy for both peace-building missions and creating meaningful lives. The other essential role that the youth play in the search for peace and equality for all is that they develop essential approaches that are meant for advancing the political input of all the persons and developing essential efforts destined for making the above political participation be sustainable and even prevail for long. The youths are also integrated into the civil structures aimed at ensuring peace as well as equality for everyone prevails as the failure to integrate them may lead to the entire failure of such peace-finding missions and corporations, (Kemper, 2005). However, despite the essential roles played by the youths, other sections of the community may fail to appreciate them and their efforts, especially when dealing with issues related to peace-missions. Struggle for peace and equality: Anti-war movements in America The anti-war movements are among the major strategies of fighting for peace and also ensuring that equality prevails for every individual in any society. Specifically, the contest for peace in American communities involved the use of forces and anti-war movements during the periods that the United States was involved in numerous war crisis that hindered the prevalence of peace in this nation, (Gottfried, 2014). The colonial agents were highly concerned in fighting and also prosecuting the people that led such movements, which included the Mennonites, the Brethren, and the Quakers as they failed to s.

A Jeremiadic Eulogy George W. Bush S Defense Of The Forum

Leslie Schulte

George W. Bush delivered a eulogy for John McCain that criticized Donald Trump and current conservative politics by implicitly comparing them to McCain's values. Bush highlighted McCain's principles of courage, decency, respect for opponents, and speaking up for marginalized groups. He contrasted these with Trump's "bigoted" and "despotic" behavior. Though unusual for a eulogy, Bush's speech was praised for defining McCain as embodying deliberative norms and calling for a return to these principles to heal divisions in political discourse. The eulogy functioned as a "jeremiadic eulogy" that used McCain's legacy to affirm foundational argument values and call the public to reconstitute standards of

This document describes the White Out method, a technique for analyzing primary sources to develop historical literacy. It involves removing identifying information from documents and having students use context clues to determine when and by whom the document was written. Examples are provided of students analyzing quotes and determining if they were said by Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, or others. The method helps students understand events of the past, narratives, language use, historical concepts, and research skills. It is presented as an engaging way to have students critically examine documents and practice historical thinking. Extensions and modifications for different grade levels are also suggested.

Jay, In very basic terms, ethos is the audience’s perception of .docx

sleeperfindley

Jay, In very basic terms, ethos is the audience’s perception of your character. Logos is creating a strong argument and pathos is appealing to the emotion of the audience. (O’Quinn 2009). Each of the speakers we viewed this week modeled these three elements in speaking to their respective audiences. President John F. Kennedy I noticed how President Kennedy used the words “we” and “us” and “our” when addressing the nation. This draws the audience in and allows them to see him on their level and that he is going to be right alongside the people fighting for their rights. Many politicians today say things like “I will go to congress and fight for you”. This separates the speaker from the audience in many cases. General McArthur Gen. McArthur was well respected and known as a man of great character for having served 52 years in the Army and rising to the rank of a 5 Star General. However, at the time he was having problems with President Truman who has just relieved him of command in Korea (pbs.org). He started his speech with a history lesson and breakdown of the world’s problems that are and would affect America. This set the stage for him to be able to state his part of the story and concerns for the future of not only Communism, but America. His speech lasted 37 minutes and the last 3-5 minutes were dedicated to him stating his retirement and desire to just “fade away”. By setting the stage with recent problems he had incurred, he was appealing to their sense of sympathy so they would understand his decision to retire. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was so influential in his speech for many reasons beyond ethos, pathos and logos. His message alone was powerful and came at a time when the nation was divided. He was able to appeal not only to the black population with talk of being free from discrimination, but was able to appeal to whites by bringing them back to what our nation was founded on... Freedom. Also, he began his speech with a low, slow, and monotone talk and as he went on, he elevated his voice and sped up his speech to show his emotion and passion for his beliefs and in doing so controlled the audience’s emotions and responses. Jeff, GEN MacArthur’s speech was influential on a few different points. He was said to be a warmonger but he did not let that get to him. He stayed calm and focused on his point, which was that swift victory is necessary during times of war. His call was for reinforcements in order to win the war, and that it was prolonged indecision by the government that caused the war to continue. My take on his speech was that he chose to step down and call an end to his military career for the betterment of his country, in an effort to restore confidence in the ability of the US Military to accomplish the mission. In Dr. King’s speech, he talked about how it has taken over one hundred years to get over discrimination against blacks in the US. President Lincoln set out to do this in 1863 with a Presi.
