Substantial speeches do not intend to manipulate the audience but rather utilise powerful rhetoric, in order to aid the audience in developing their own judgment and thus establish a relationship. It is clear that despite contextual differences of texts, the amalgamation of textual integrity, purpose and form establishes a resonating message to audiences. Therefore, composers employ ‘powerful’ rhetoric and cohesiveness in their speeches, not to manipulate but allow audience to enhance their knowledge and understanding. This is undoubtedly clear in Anwar Sadat’s “Speech to the Israeli Knesset’ and Noel Pearson ‘An Australian history for all of us’, which both exhibit the power of words in refining our perspectives and ideas. Therefore, it is …show more content…
With the continuous conflict occurring between the Arabs and Israelites, his intention were to achieve a peace settlement, with a substantial speech using powerful rhetoric. Sadat utilises biblical allusions as he asserts that justice justice streams from God’s commandments of “...love, sincerity, purity and peace”, striking at the core of what is the most important for humanity. The utilisation of biblical allusion allows the Israeli to realise that they live by the word of God, and the word of God had no saying of having a war between one another. This assists the audience in acknowledging and understanding Sadat’s message of the need to achieve peace and further strengthen the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. Thus, realise that the speech is not to manipulate the Israel audience, but rather come together and overlook their differences with the Egyptians, to achieve peace and save humanity. Furthermore, Sadat’s conviction of his intrinsic passion for peace is made convincing and genuine through the language in which he articulates. Anaphora through the rhetorical question, “how can we achieve permanent peace based on justice?... Why don’t we destroy this barrier together” presents the three central values of unity, peace and justice. Inclusive …show more content…
Pearson conveys the need to take responsibility for the consequences of past discriminations, encouraging open, harmonious and hopeful beliefs of reconciliation as opposed to assigning guilt. He calls for the metaphoric “opening of hearts” as Australians strive to overcome inequities of the past and build a future based on the beliefs of justice and equality. Pearson expresses his hope for reconciliation through negative diction and alliteration, “Legacy of unutterable shame” and “derogation and diminution”, representing the historic suffering of Indigenous Australians. Thus, it is clearly evident that he does not manipulate the audience into having to act against the misfortune of the past, but rather have an emotional connection with them through powerful rhetoric to indirectly assist the audience to gain an insight of the emotional and physical damage of Aborigines. Furthermore, Pearson also incorporate inclusive language through the repetition of “our nation” and the action that “we” must take to correct our past injustices. This is effective in reconciling the divide between European Australians, whilst reinforcing national values. Pearson’s approach depicts society’s challenge to “accept responsibility and accept shame”, reflecting his belief that this was the ideal solution to address reconciliation.
Heinrichs had previously worked as a journalist before becoming a full time writer and advocate for rhetoric. He utilizes illustrative examples to convey rhetorical concepts. Furthermore, chapter four reveals the most valuable logos and pathos tactic. Lastly, this book’s use should be continued in this course.
The idea that indigenous Australian communities are underprivileged and do not receive the same justice that the white community accrues is represented through Jay Swan and his interactions with the corrupt white police officers and the indigenous locals of the town. My empathetic response to the text as a whole was influenced directly by way the text constructs these ideas as well as my knowledge of the way indigenous Australians are represented in the mainstream media and the behaviour of the police force as an institution. These contextual factors and the way Sen has constructed ideas influenced me to empathise with the indigenous
Composers of texts repeatedly have the common aim of persuading the audience into agreement or seek to gain empathy. The deliberate intention of the composer to inflict an incongruous perspective through the use of medium is represented through personalities, events and situations. Particularly, in both Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s infamous 1941 Four Freedoms speech, composer perspectives presented on historical events can be distorted, shaped, and reshaped to uniquely evoke a passionate response in the audience. Subtleties in the presentation of form overt a strong authenticity to text and provide a sustained theatrical license for the composer.
Emerging from the principle theme of equality are the basic and life-altering needs that the Aborigines call for. The most basic needs are also courteous deeds. Aborigines are longing for "help" in times of assistance, to be "welcome(d)" and to have a "choice" in life. A need for an end to stereotyping and racial prejudice is expressed in the use of wording chosen by Walker. She articulates her anger towards defamation directed at the Aboriginal community.
Throughout Australian history a racist attitude towards Aboriginals has been a significant issue. From the moment the early settlers arrived on our shores and colonised, the Aboriginals have been fighting for the survival of their culture. The Aboriginals haven been take in and dominated to bring them in line with an idealistic European society. These themes have been put forward by Jack Davis in his stage play, No Sugar, the story of an Aboriginal family’s fight for survival during the Great Depression years. Admittedly Davis utilises his characters to confront the audience and take them out of their comfort zone, showing them the reality of Aboriginal treatment. This is an element of the marginalisation that Jack Davis uses through out the play this starts from the beginning where he discomforts the audience by using an open stage. One character that Davis uses through out the play is A.O. Neville, Davis uses him to portray the issue of power, this is a very important issue that is carried through out the play.
David Garneau’s article on “Imaginary Spaces of Conciliation and Reconciliation” offers a refreshing outlook on the term and implantation of reconciliation in post-colonial culture. He argues that conciliation would evoke an individual transformation of the settler if Aboriginal history was accepted as independent yet in union with the history of Canada. Garneau’s vison of conciliation is centered on this idea of an imaginary space between the settlers and Aboriginals and, within this space, settlers are separated from Aboriginals to naturally reflect on the Aboriginal’s experiences of colonialism. However, the implications of this space also created a void in society because the residential schools are the imaginary spaces in which settlers are reconciling. The direction of Garneau’s article is insightful to understanding how reconciliation has failed in countries and how it’s practice, in accordance with religious connotations, has created an underlying tone of “charity” and “pardon” opposed to restorative justice (35).
The goals and visions behind my reconciliation action plan was to bring the two sides of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians together in equality and harmony. Since the colonisation of Australia there has been a vast divide between the two sides that has caused many serious outcomes for Aboriginal people. My way of contributing to this is to create a better understanding, restore trust and eradicate racism as a positive way to help close the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australia’s.
A speech utilizes information that may be interesting to the audience or that which is known. This is to make sure that information relayed creates the desired impact. The president has used factual information, examples, emotions and a persuading tone to urge the leaders to work together with him so as to ensure the welfare of the people. He has been able to explain the efforts of the people and where the leaders might be failing to influence positively on the people. Accordingly, he has explained to the people the methods which can be effective in ensuring that they remain committed to the people they serve. In addition, he had explained his personal commitment to the same.
and Jews worship God’ who ‘commands peace’ therefore they must pursue it. Here he cogently conflates logos and pathos to promote coexistence, and momentously declares ‘we accept to live with you.’ As stability in oil-rich regions was favourable, Sadat was well received by western pundits, being named Time’s Man of the Year. Simultaneously, he compellingly persuaded middle eastern audiences by demonstrating a moral, religious high ground through his meticulous rhetoric, thus supporting Plato’s
The basis of this paper is to review and examine specific principles and theories of cooperation and argument management as reflected by a specific story of the Middle East peace process within the named article. The article is entitled "The Wounds Of Peace," by Connie Bruck. This, of course, is one individual author's perspective, yet, nevertheless, it is the view of this author that much of the content is historically factual and accurate, with a definite sense of individual perspectives as purported by the author. To the greatest extent, this author shall attempted to meet those requirements as per the related principles and theories of negotiation and conflict management. Similarly, this will take place within the context of the Middle East peace process, guided within a specific time and place. To a large extent, this author should also like to state that his perspectives will emanate from those theories and principles which are rooted within negotiation and conflict management. Probably, no where else on this Earth (with the possible exception of Northern Ireland) are the principles and theories of negotiation and conflict management more contentious than those that exist within the Middle East
The Middle East has since time immemorial been on the global scope because of its explosive disposition. The Arab Israeli conflict has not been an exception as it has stood out to be one of the major endless conflicts not only in the region but also in the world. Its impact continues to be felt all over the world while a satisfying solution still remains intangible. A lot has also been said and written on the conflict, both factual and fallacious with some allegations being obviously evocative. All these allegations offer an array of disparate views on the conflict. This essay presents an overview of some of the major literature on the controversial conflict by offering precise and clear insights into the cause, nature, evolution and future of the Israel Arab conflict.
Powerful forces such as media, culture and myths about race and gender can shape a misreading of society, events and other people through negative stereotypes. Indigenous Australians are categorised as an aggressive minority group in Australian society and is also a social group which has suffered dramatically due to mainstream white culture. However, this stereotype has actively been reinforced through Australia's history as well as its media influences and lack of understating of Aboriginal cultural differences. This argument will be supported by Ernie dingos statement on the television series Heartland, which portrayed the idea for reconciliation between non-indigenous and indigenous. However, it will also explore the lack of understanding
A possible solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the two-state solution. The two-state solution would become a peace agreement in which establishes a Palestinian state alongside the current state of Israel (Bourke). In the opinion of the Maghar Druze’s community, peace is the main objective in which the two-state solution could provide. As follows, most Israeli Druze’s would encourage the current peace talks in aim of a two-state agreement. Despite the fact that the two-state solution requires compromise in which it is believed the Palestinian are not able to accommodate. In particular, the Maghar Druze’s do not believe the Palestinians will ever be satisfied with a two-state agreement because of the need for retaliation fo...
“Today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing cultures in human History. We reflect on their past mistreatment. We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were Stolen Generations—this blemished chapter in our nation’s history. The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future. We apologise for the laws and policies of successive Parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians” (apology by Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, 16th November 2009, Parliament House, Canberra.)
