‘A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is a reality’ This quote by John Lennon reflects the goal of both Anwar Sadat’s ‘Statement to the Knesset’ and Noel Pearson’s ‘An Australian History for Us All’. These speeches engage through their cohesive structure and persuasive treatments of the significant ideas of peace unity and hope. The speakers, through intellectual and emotional appeal to the audience, convey the significant ideas of peace, unity and hope to their audiences, in hope of engaging them in order to inspire action, because as Plato remarks “rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men”. Anwar Sadat’s ‘Statement to the Knesset’ was written and presented with the hope of establishing peace between the …show more content…
This differing form of peace, not one born from war but from history, is nonetheless as potent a form. Pearson’s polemic speech demands the intellectual respect from his audience through establishing an academic authority by the constant referencing of politicians and scholars to construct, support and maintain his argument. His goal is unambiguous throughout; “how Australian’s should respond to the past” and his quest for “a unifying search for common ground” is clear. This forthright approach to the issue pinpoints Pearson’s objectives and appeals to logos through its simple and straightforward approach. Once this is establish a logical and cohesive structure to present a sustained argument throughout the speech is utilised to allow for a continuation of the intellectual appeal. This structure is often simple, as uncomplicated as “firstly… secondly…” or slightly more complex in Pearson’s use of hypophora in “how do we as Indigenous people respond to the legacy of colonialism and that brutal, troubled, culture by which we are disposed?” it is this rhetoric device which resonates with his academic audience and allows them to connect with the speech’s ideas. The obstacles to Pearson’s evident goal are outlined in “Guilt Industry. Black Armband. Political Correctness. These are lines that resonate. They work on the evening news grabs… the radio airwaves... we end up with this brain damaged dialogue… passing for public debate” highlighted in short, sharp sentences which presents his dialectic succinctly. This engages his intellectual audience through its direct nature and inspires them to believe in Pearson’s goal and take action for his
The article “The Coddling Of The American Mind”, written by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, was written about how teachers are afraid of what they are allowed to say during in class because of the emotional effect on the students. While writing the article the authors have many examples of logos, ethos, and pathos. The logos of the article appeals to logic by presenting facts and statistics. The writers provide definitions of words such as microaggression and trigger warning. While explaining the definitions they go on to give real world examples to further the understanding of the words. Also statistics of the amount of mental health issues are provided to enhance the logos. Secondly to make the article more appealing is adding an emotional
The validity of British’s occupation of Australia has been fundamentally shaken. The decision protected Aboriginal people’s cultures and lifestyles to a certain degree. Moreover, it guaranteed that some of the lands they live will not be developed. There were five key issues of importance to legal precedent in the Mabo decision for the recognition of Indigenous peoples’ rights in Australia (Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, 2017). For example, it helps to promote the idea of non-discrimination. From then on, a series of laws had been introduced to help safeguard their standard legal rights and
The authors of “Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt, use ethos, logos, and pathos convey their negative stance regarding trigger warnings and the effect they on education. Lukianoff and Haidt’s use of rhetorical appeal throughout the article adds to the author’s credibility and the strength of the argument against increasing the use of trigger warnings in school material. The authors, Lukianoff and Haidt, rely heavily upon the use of logos, such as relations between conflicts surrounding trigger warnings and other historical conflicts impacting student ethics. Examples of the use of these logical appeals are the relation between the Columbine Massacre and the younger generations ideology. The author goes on to mention other societal turning points such
In the same also different way, the coach in Marshall speech also using pathos when he said “ They don’t know your heart. I do. I’ve seen it. You have shown it to me...You have shown just exactly who you are in here.” This is pathos because the coach bring up how good the team have become. Whether they’re losing or winning, the only thing will matter is no one will have a great heart as the players have. They don’t need to win the championship to show that they’re the best, they just need to show how much passion they have with football to show that they’re the best team. The coach also said: “ When you take that field today, you’ve gotta lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you’ve got in your body, lay it on the line until the final.” He doesn’t put pressure on the players that they have to win, he speaked how he feel, he speaked from his heart, he just wanted that when the team take the field today, they just need to put all their effort and passion on the field.
Summary of Text: ‘The Redfern Address’ is a speech that was given to a crowd made up of mainly indigenous Australians at the official opening of the United Nations International Year of the World’s Indigenous Peoples in Redfern Park, New South Wales. This text deals with many of the challenges that have been faced by Indigenous Australians over time, while prompting the audience to ask themselves, ‘How would I feel?’ Throughout the text, Keating challenges the views of history over time, outlines some of the outrageous crimes committed against the Indigenous community, and praises the indigenous people on their contribution to our nation, despite the way they have been treated.
America is long overdue for a series featuring Asian American characters. As New York Times writer Wesley Yang points out, ”Fresh Off the Boat would be the first network sitcom to star an Asian-American family in 20 years and only the third attempt by any major network in the history of the medium.” ABC is offering a slate of new programs deliberately focused on diversity. ““Its our job to reflect America,” ABC-TV head Paul Lee said…” “we didn’t pick up these shows because they were diverse, we picked them up because they were great” (Kang). ABC is taking on the job of reflecting the diverse culture and bringing minorities to the spotlight for the first time. ABC’s determination in bringing in diversity can be seen as programs
“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.)
Martin Luther king Jr was a Baptist minister and social activist who led the civil rights movement in the United States. MLK Jr. was known for his sermons and his speeches. By the time he passed away he wrote five books and had delivered about 450 speeches a year. One of his most controversial speeches was "A Time to Break the Silence." In this sermon, King speaks out against the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War while it was still broadly supported by many Americans. In his speech he makes an effective argument by presenting the problem, getting his points across and offering a solution all the while using rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos.
•I had prior experience with the rhetorical terminology used throughout this semester, but I hadn’t delved quite as deeply into their meanings and their uses. I don’t think that this writing project alone had a major effect on my understanding of rhetorical terminology; however, the works that we read as lead-up to and context for the assignment really helped me learn to recognize the use of different rhetorical strategies in text on a higher level than I did before. That being said, I feel that the writing project aided me in putting that understanding into words. I had minimal previous experience with doing intensive rhetorical analysis before this project, and now I feel that while I still may not comprehend the minutiae
Trigger, David S. Whitefella Comin': Aboriginal responses to colonialism in northern Australia. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992.
Such is the frenzied state of lawmakers in Pakistan today that even a sneeze emanating from New Delhi is enough to upset the balance of power in South Asia. Whether it is news of a new Indian-made interceptor missile, or Indian premier Narendra Modi’s historic speech to the joint session of US Congress in June: they all cut like a knife.
First, the historical views of dealing with Aboriginal-settlers relations have experienced major shifts and provoked several debates. According to Attwood, Australia, as a settler society is inevitably prone to a controversy over the relationship between Indigenous Australian and non-Indigenous Australian which are divided by race (Attwood 1). The history of Aboriginal Australia shifted from silence and peace to dispossession and
...ife for the cause of peace with Israel, Sadat dared to do the impossible and succeeded. Since the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty was signed in 1978, there have been no wars between Egypt and Israel. From the beginning of his presidency in 1970 to the end of his presidency in 1981 Sadat always had peace on his mind. Throughout his life Sadat participated in the British expulsion from Egypt, the regaining of land lost in the War of 1967, Soviet expulsion from Egypt, becoming the first Arab leader to ask and receive help from the United States, the first Arab leader to travel to Israel and address the Knesset, and the first Arab leader willing to and successfully make peace with Israel. Breaking down a psychological barrier, with the assistance of President Carter and Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat accomplished his revolutionary idea of Egyptian-Israeli peace.
The core epistemology of Indigenous culture is based in the notion of country. Contrasting this, is the axiology of the colonial framework in representing itself the land. In its purest form, non-Indigenous conceptions of land were imposed through invasion. “Invasion requires the invader to justify his actions not to the invaded, but to himself” (Pascoe 178). Justification of invasion within the colonial framework has been represented in the landscape through numerous declarations, namely through the assertion of terra nullius over the land and its inhabitants. This motion perpetuates and underlies the fact that “land has always been at the centre of conflict between black and white Australians” (Reynolds 133-167). Furthermore, the doctrine
There is no stronger and more globally important issue than that of peace. We as humans live in this world amongst hatred, differences and violence, a world where equality seems to be impossible. However it is that truly extraordinary minority of people like Faith Bandler and Anwar Sadat, who worked with what they have to empower others and to take action on issues that relegate peace in the world. Their speeches encourage and challenge us to open our hearts and minds to the injustices that resonate even today in the 21st century and inspire us to see the world in a new light using dialogue and the power of rhetoric rather than carnage.
