Christians are being persecuted more than ever and its time we put an end to it. Donald Trump gives a look into Christians in Syria, “You look at Syria, where if you’re Christian they are chopping off heads” (Trump). As a country we need to group together under Christianity because we are not unified. In Donald Trump’s video at Liberty University, he discusses how Christianity is under siege and we need to unite as a country and take back Christian principles. Many other topics are discussed during this video. Trump touches upon how we have a weak general who is not willing to attack ISIS, which is not good for our country. I believe that Trump is very influential and effective with the speech he delivers. He uses quite a few strong appeals and direct quotations from the Bible that relates to Liberty University where he is delivering this speech. Liberty University is a …show more content…

In doing so it makes his speech well rounded and appeal to different people. He uses his example of Christians in Syria as a pathos appeal since it appeals to emotions. He quotes the bible to build credibility as an ethos appeal. Trump uses the percentages of Christians in the United States as a logos appeal to provide validity in his statement. I strongly believe that Trumps speech is definitely convincing. I already believed this before, but watching this video definitely made me realize even more how Christianity is diminishing. We need to unite and become a good Christian country. Also besides the main point he presents we also need to look at what he touches upon at the end. Do we really need a general like this serving? Someone who is not willing to go forward and attack ISIS head on and destroy them. As a country we have become weak as Trump presents. We need to be able to have someone strong that is able to knock some fear into the enemy’s

In addition, he implements personification to motivate and empower the American people. “Our nation, this generation, will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future” (Bush, 2001). “This generation”, again a synonym for the American people, with its unwavering resolve, will fight for its freedom persistently. He intimates that the future of America and of democratic freedom is in the hands of the American people; that the American people have the power to control their fate.

  • Analysis Of The Boyd's The Myth Of A Christian Nation

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

    Neglect the “Nations of the World” and instead focus on the “Nation of God”. Christians path in life can be boiled down to giving their full allegiance to the Kingdom of God. In doing so they need to denounce the coercive and violent ideologies of the natural world. Translating this to the Christian call to action, we must follow the Kingdom of God in transforming the world, rather than using politics as a means towards such a transformation. This is based upon his destroying of the notion that America is a Christian Nation: “What gives this understanding of the kingdom of God such strong emotional force is the long standing myth that America is a 'Christian nation. ' From the start, Americans have been inclined to believe that God’s will was manifested in the founding of our country and is yet manifested in the global activity of our nation. Throughout our history, most Americans have confidently assumed our nation’s causes and wars were righteous and just and that God was 'on our side. ' In our minds, and often in our churches, the cross and the national flag have gone hand in hand. Consequently, the conservative church has, to a large extent at least, tended to view itself as the religious guardian of all that is godly in our culture. America is a holy city 'set on a hill, ' and the church’s job is to keep it shining” (Reknew). Remove the temptation and allegiance to the natural world and it can and will distract

    Bush’s method of topic by topic argument along with many emotional appeals was a rather effective way of winning the audience’s support. By appealing to the emotions of the audience Bush was able to give the audience issues they could relate to as well as issues they would feel strongly about. With an emotionally involved audience Bush was able to gather a great number of supporters of his party, just as he intended in his original purpose. The further reference to the character of the people involved in the issues really paid off by drawing the crowd closer to the people working for them. With the topical structure and the appeals used, the speech was a very effective tool in gaining support for the Republican Party from the northern Arizonan audience.

Trump wants the audience to consider what his plans are and that he is going to put a stop to the bad and they are going to stop right away.

    feelings of bewilderment and disbelief. Donald J. Trump was elected into office under the premise that he was going to “make America great again,” implying that the country has been less than great in recent years. Throughout his campaign, Trump was repeatedly scrutinized for offensive campaign rhetoric toward religious, ethnic, and gender minorities. The popularity vote favored his opponent Hillary Clinton, while the electoral vote helped him obtain US presidency. After analyzing President Trump’s inauguration speech I was left with countless questions and concerns. Along the way I came accross multiple accounts of belief dependent realism, post-modernism, bias, self-justification, and general inconsistency. It is apparent from this speech that Trump is motivated by religion, power, and misunderstanding of the needs of the people of the United Stated of America.
