Art Lykkes three legged stool is a conceptual model used to identify if there are balance between ends, ways and means. If one leg is longer than the others the stool will be unbalanced and having the risk of tipping over. I will use this model to understand that the strategy President Reagan presented during his Brandenburg Gate speech were unbalanced. The means and ways was not sufficient to reach the ends, the president took a risk. One of the ends that is used in speech is “Peaceful and Secure Europe”. This is a very ambitious end and you have to allocate a lot of both ways and means to accomplish that. On the other hand you can always argue about what peaceful and secure means. In this case however I have to relate it to the current

Tone and rhetorical appeals guide the speech but Reagan’s use of rhetorical devices is what makes the speech so successful.

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    President John F Kennedy ran on a political platform during his campaign that focused on calling for stable wages and stable prices to boost the American economy to pull it out of a recession. Once he won the presidency, this view point continued and was implemented within Kennedy’s legislations. The economy was just starting to find its’ way out of the economic slumps when steel companies raised prices in 1962.

  • Is the EU Democratic?

    1425 Words  | 3 Pages

    The European Union (EU), since the initial foundation in 1952 as the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and throughout periods of development, has been considered one of the most advanced forms of regional integration. It, based on numerous treaties and resolutions, has strived to promote values such as peace, cooperation or democracy, and in 2012 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for having “contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe” (Nobel Media AB, 2012). Despite its struggle for promoting democracy, the EU itself has long experienced scholarly criticisms that it suffers the democratic deficit, from which its democratic legitimacy is undermined by observable problems in political accountability and participation. As the importance of legitimacy in a democratically representative institution is hardly debatable, the criticism of whether and why the EU lacks democracy has been given a considerable gravity in academia.

  • A Literary Criticism of "The Three Little Pigs" Through a Mythilogical Lense

    939 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story of “The Three Little Pigs” (Disney Enterprises, 311-320) juxtaposes the beneficial rewards of hard work against the damaging effects of excessive leisure. The Germans (the foolish pigs) did not take the time to move enough troops to defend Normandy (the straw and stick houses) from the Allies (the wolf). In contrast, the Chinese (the wise brother) built the Great Wall (the brick house) which provided sufficient defense against the Mongols (the wolf). These two situations parallel “The Three Little Pigs” because in each case, the side that fully prepared survived while the side that did not prepare failed. This outcome is universal throughout history and throughout the world because every human can learn and grow from their experiences and failures.
