Politics and Gendered Language in Communication Name: Course: Instructor: Institution: Submission Date: Speech and use of theories The recent American elections were characterized with the use of gender agenda in propagating the course of campaigns. The issue of gender largely derived from the fact that both candidates had an issue to draw from or one, which they had been associated with in the line of gender. Hillary Clinton was on the trail with the feat of the glass ceiling as the closest ever first female candidate to the presidency. On the other, Donald Trump, now president was marred with challenges of female objectification and negative utterances that portrayed him in the dark side within the gender divide, especially in the stand against …show more content…
Michelle makes use of stance in the emotional context in developing and bringing attention to the central idea in a way that appeals to the inner instinct and soft component in the people.

Michelle conclusions and mutual assumption is part of style that is model and largely characterizes the speech and speaking style as part of conventional political speech that conveys the use of implicature. Beyond the emotional appeal that has been developed, Michelle speech refers in graphic details to the way in which aspects of language and abuse are being used as a tool that encourages hurtful feelings against women in ways that builds pain and lack of respect. For example on several occasions Donald Trump was recorded belittling women and having no regard for them as people. The speech develops a wider point of view in trying to put this subject in its rightful context and place in regards to the issue of speech as related to gender treatment and the view of human decency, especially as coming from an individual aspiring within a position of leadership. Michelle develops and puts her concerns within context by illustrating how Trump has publicized such negative behaviors against women while campaigning to take up the most prestigious position in the world, president of the United States. It is within this analysis that the primary agenda is shown, and that is to win support for Hillary. In this speech Hillary position is developed by contrasting it with the position that has been assumed by her major competitor in terms
Ulrich had a well explanation for her slogan on "well-behaved women." She supports her slogan by bringing up certain women stereotypes that have been going on throughout history. She uses these stereotypes to explain how certain people view on women.
Men and women both drive cars, it’s a simple necessity to be able go to work for most people, however, from the commercials on television, one would assume that men are the primary purchasers of cars. In Steve Craig’s essay, Men’s Men and Women’s Women, he analyzes four commercials to illustrate how advertisers strategically targets the viewers. Craig argues that advertisers will grasp the attention of the viewer by the gender ideals that both men and women have of each other. Not only do advertisers pick a target audience demographic, but they also will target the audience at specific time to air their commercials. By analyzing an Audi and Bud Light commercial, one can see that Craig arguments are true to an extent but it appears that commercials have gone from an idealized world to a more realistic and relatable stance. for are still [true, however it seems that commercials may have altered to appear more realistic.] [relevant to an extent. This is to say, it appears that advertisers may have altered their commercial tactics. ]
The National Organization for Women’s 1966 Statement of Purpose was written by Betty Friedan, whose published book “The Feminist Mystique” in 1963 have made a big impact on American women at that time. This source is effective in using the rhetorical strategies such as ethos, pathos, and logos to convince the public to take action to help women can be treated more equally and can take part in any aspects of society, especially their privileges and responsibilities should be fair and equal in compare with men.
It amazes me how a few decades ago can seem like a whole different world. A course of time can impact our lives more than we know it. In the article, A Day Without Feminism by Jennifer Boumgoidnei and Amy Richntds, both of these authors created this piece to inform their audience that although women have gained more rights over time, there was still more progress to be made. These authors gave many examples of how life for women had been, the obstacles they had to overcome, and the laws women had to break for equality.
Women’s rights pioneer, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in her speech, The Destructive Male, expresses her feelings about Women's suffrage in 1868, and brought to light the misconception that women are not equal to man and imply that men bring more destruction than restoration.
Within Hon. Shirley Chisholm’s well known speech, Equal Rights for Women, which she presented on May 21, 1969, she discusses in detail the ideology of woman’s rights before the United States House of Representatives. She touches base on her own experience with discrimination, how society has prejudice against women, and introduces the Equal rights act, in which she states “that has been before every Congress for the last 40 years and that sooner or later must become part of the basic law of the land.” With her speech, Hon. Shirley Chisholm makes a substantial argument about women’s rights. With her use of anecdotes, counter arguments, and statistics, her speech obtains great value.
The goal of Hillary’s speech is to persuade her audience that her ideas are valid, by using ethos, pathos, and logos. Hillary is the First Lady and Senator, she shows credibility as an influential activist for woman rights. “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my country and around the world” (Clinton 2).
Overall, Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a convincing speech on women’s rights at the U.N. World Conference by using the key rhetorical techniques ethos, pathos, logos, and anaphora’s. The use of these techniques helped the audience believe in the cause of which Clinton was speaking about, sympathize for situations females were being put through, and working to strive towards equal rights for everyone. Clinton used the same stance throughout her speech and raised her voice at points in her speech that needed
Hillary Clinton’s speech “Women Rights” transmitted a crucial message to the world and that was to do something about gender inequality. Pathos helped transmit an emotional appeal to the audience and make them see the soft side of Clinton.
Motherhood is the main point of focus in both forms of text. While is Truth's speech she talks about motherhood being robbed from her due to slavery, Obama talks about Michelle's motherhood being stolen by her career. Both of these examples are heart breaking and sorrowful because as a women becoming a mother is one of the greatest gifts of all time. As far as the workforce goes Truths labor is back breaking manual labor that causes a disconnect in her womanhood Michelle's work is tedious, time consuming, and can cut into time with her children. Another important similarity in both of these text are the stereotypes. Truths are racial stereotypes and Michelle’s are gender. All of the similarities in the text give the reader an insight on how women feel on a daily basis because we can be robbed of motherhood, be pressured in our workforce, and have stereotypes put on us. Although these texts were written in different time periods they show the reader women go through many of the same struggles women went through 100's of years ago today. Both of these figures, Truth and Michelle are very strong women who know how to impact a large group of people to make them realize that stereotypes of women are cruel and the world should learn to move on and unite as a whole to create a stronger more effect community.
When creating a comparative rhetorical analysis of two different feminist essays, we must first define the term “feminism”. According to Merriam-Webster.com, feminism is “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities”. Feminism is a also a long term social movement, one that’s been in the works since the early 1900’s. However, as any challenger to the norm might receive, the words ‘feminism’ and ‘feminist’ have gotten a bad reputation. Throughout the years, popular opinion has agreed that if you’re a feminist, you hate men, and don’t shave. It’s a very close-minded belief, and both Lindy West and Roxane Gay agree. Both authors of the essays I am comparing today, West and Gay try and convey their beliefs that feminism isn’t what you think it is. However, they do it in very different ways. Who conveyed their beliefs of feminism better and the superior argument? That is what I am going to display today.
During her early life, Hillary Clinton learned that a huge problem across the globe was gender inequality. Women and men were not equal. Men were making more money than women for the same jobs. She believed she could change this. On September 5, 1995 Hillary Clinton gave a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women. Clinton uses powerful rhetoric in order to create an air of sympathy for women among her audience. She is hoping to make the world become more aware of the inequalities women face daily while also making them feel ashamed for their previous actions of discriminating women, which would cause them to change their ways. She uses her speech “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights” to create awareness of the discrimination
“We have met to uplift women’s fallen divinity upon an even pedestal with man’s. We now demand our right to vote.” With this forceful introduction, Elizabeth Cady Stanton pulls the injustice against women to light and demands it to be felt. Her speech is a call to change, a shout for justice in a sea of corruption. Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s speech, delivered at the First Women’s Rights Convention in 1848, appeals to emotion, ethics, and logic to affirm the necessity of equality for women.
She, like the narrator of Klass’s story, “Not a Good Girl,” is an intellectual, having attended both Princeton University and Harvard School of Law, but these prestigious schools so do not exempt her from the harsh criticism she endures. She is an advocate for the health of children, looking to end the obesity epidemic that plagues America, yet, critics can only seem to focus on her masculine stature, particularly her muscular biceps. This criticism stems from the idea that the First Lady is to be elegant and feminine, a trophy for the President to parade around, and the idea of Michelle Obama’s arms being too muscular and her skin being too dark, inhibits people from seeing her as a woman. Taking this all into consideration, the comparison between Hillary Clinton’s time as First Lady and Michelle Obama’s time as First Lady paints the image that women being in power are becoming a normalcy. During Barak Obama’s campaign trail, the criticism of Michelle’s career while also being a mother of two was less in focus while Hillary, on the other hand, was condemned by journalists and citizens of America for being such an independent woman, and somewhat emasculating to her husband, Bill Clinton (McGinley, 2009,
For this year’s benchmark project, I decided I would perform a piece and challenge myself. I ended up choosing Reverie, Op. 24, by Alexander Glazunov, a highly melodic and romantic piece written in 1890. Glazunov was a well known and accomplished horn player, and tended to write small solos like this often, favoring the emotional, expressive pieces. Reverie was a beautiful example of this. Written in the romantic style, going back and forth between major and minor, the piece is a wonderfully intricate solo to play.
