Not only does Albright use the credit of America to empower women, but she also uses the repeated idea of the greatness that America holds and carries. In line six to fifteen, Albright describes America in the positive light. She states, “..Under the leadership of President Clinton, America is making the right choice.” With that, Albright is mentioning the U.S. and their good leadership. The way Albright is using the U.S. as a leader role is empowering the women with the idea that the college the women graduated from, which is from America, and that it connects the two to greatness. This emphasizes that these women should also strive for greatness. Albright also uses figurative language in describing the accomplishments and struggles of women. Albright empowers the women by saying how with the women’s degrees, they have a choice. The choice being whether to lower their voices and sit
Samir Boussarhane During the early 20th century in the U.S, most children of the lower and middle class were workers. These children worked long, dangerous shifts that even an adult would find tiresome. On July 22, 1905, at a convention of the National Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, Florence Kelley gave a famous speech regarding the extraneous child labor of the time. Kelley’s argument was to add laws to help the workers or abolish the practice completely.
Florence Kelley was a social and political reformer that fought for woman’s suffrage and child labor laws. Her speech to the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association initiated a call to action for the reform of child labor laws. She explains how young children worked long and exhausting hours during the night and how despicable these work conditions were. Kelley’s use of ethos, logos, pathos, and repetition helps her establish her argument for the reform of the child labor laws.
...n our country. She’s saying that the advancement of women is getting stuck between a rock and a hard place. This was such a strong point in her speech because it shed light into the logical thinking, and made a historical connection to slavery. By making this connection, she was able to help many see that women were convicted slaves to the current state of the union.
On June 11, 2004, the former prime minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher delivered a eulogy in honor of former president Ronald Reagan, she declares Reagan as a great man and president.

Using Reagan’s accomplishments and personal experiences, she amplifies how great of a man he was in order to make the nation comprehend what Reagan did. Thatcher opens her eulogy with “We have lost a great president,” indicating that the speech she gives with apologetic and heartfelt tone is not only to the American people, but to everyone else.
On January 12, 1780, Abigail Adams, former First Lady, wrote to her son, John Quincy Adams, while he was abroad with his father and brother. Adams addressed to her son and future President to maintain his spirit to learn and grow. She expressed his purpose through her motherly tone, various religious and historical allusions, use of logos, rhetorical question with simple syntax and use of metaphors.
The emotional appeals that she makes in the source is her effort to look for the happiness for the women, she has the steely voice in fighting for equality for women, to show her true enthusiasm. The most remarkable examples can be taken from the piece is the phrases “We believe”, “We reject”, “We do not accept” she uses in her paper. They can totally show her intense, her strength, and her enthusiasm. Some of them can be taken out here such as: “We believe that women can achieve such equality only by accepting to the full the challenges and responsibilities they share with all other people in our society, as part of the decision-making mainstream of American political, economic and social life”, “We believe that this nation has a capacity at least as great as other nations, to innovate new social institutions which will enable women to enjoy the true equality of opportunity and responsibility in society, without conflict with their responsibilities as mothers and homemakers”, “We do not accept the traditional assumption that a woman has to choose between marriage and motherhood, on the one hand, and serious participation in industry or the professions on the other”, “Above all, we reject the assumption that these problems are the unique responsibility of each individual woman, rather than a basic social dilemma which society must solve”, “We believe that a true partnership between the sexes demands a different concept of marriage, an equitable sharing of the responsibilities of home and children and of the economic burdens of their support”, and “We believe that proper recognition should be given to the economic and social value of homemaking and
Nora’s and her hypocrisy, confusion about religion, and his Gran unbalancing the family lead to Jackie’s trap. Nora’s hypocrisy is shown throughout the story. Nora would show her devilish tormenting side to just Jackie because she could use her advantage in knowledge of everything especially religion and confession to torment Jackie. When nobody is around watching her and Jackie walk to the chapel for confession “Nora suddenly changed her tone, she became the raging malicious devil she really was”(178). Then when Nora is in public she shows her angelic side “she walked up the aisle to the side altar looking like a saint”(178). Even though everyone else sees the angelic part of Nora, Jackie “remember[s] the devilish malice with which she had
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).
On September 5, 1995 Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered a speech to the United Nations 4th World Conference during a Women Plenary Session, located in Beijing, China.

The reason for the conference was to strengthen women, families, and societies in order to empower women to taking control of their lives and not be subject to such discrimination. She emphasized how education, health care, jobs, and political rights were not equal between genders and that the world needed to change. Clinton gave a very convincing speech because of her use of rhetorical techniques. The use of pathos, ethos, logos, and anaphora created a powerful, persuasive argument against the way women were treated around the world. Clintons main goal of this speech was to appeal to the audience and convince them that this is unequal treatment is an immense matter and needs to be addressed all over the world.
Whether being said or being written, there is always a purpose behind the way words are utilized. Words, oftentimes, educate, inform, or even deceive the minds of individuals, but the true power they derive from has brought about the contribution of others resulting in effective outcomes. Although words hold many different purposes, its key motive is evident when used to sway an individual’s position in public controversial matters. The influence that writing and speech can induce, based on the use of words through diction, tone, and pathos, is what creates change in individual’s perspectives on social views.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a well-recognized woman in the United States. Her great contribution as Secretary of State impacted people’s lives. One of many remarkable speeches Clinton gave was the “The Women Rights Speech” at the 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session, where she used strong words and emotions to appeal to the audience. Even though the speech talked about women's rights, she wanted everyone, including men and children, to listen and take action. Her use of ethos, logos and pathos throughout the speech helped people understand women live in a world where they suffer discrimination, and she proposes solutions to solve the issue.

In 1997 Madeleine Albright gave the commencement speech of the graduating class of an all women's college called Mount Holyoke college in Massachusetts. Albright uses values, definition, statistics, and description to secure peace and hard work to give women education rights for the country and for potential students that would like to attend this college. In the beginning of Albright's speech she talks about the values in life that we get to choose from, and how we can live as individuals. She goes on to say “..America must choose whether to turn inward and betray the lessons of history, or to seize the opportunity before us to shape history.” Albright says this to the audience so they can understand how we can change history with our actions and not let it repeat itself, and how these educated women set an
The book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul. The book was primarily written because Paul found an astronomical amount of sin, “a fault line” if you will, in the way the Roman’s lived their lives. My worldview on the Romans 1-8 is that, the transgressions committed by the Romans in Paul’s time are still occurring in society today. We are living in a society that is self-serving and in a moral decline. It is my continued belief that mankind will not change for the better and as we advance into this new technological era that man and society will continue this rapidly decline and turn from God. The only way to reprieve this downward slide is our unwavering faith in God the Father. “For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” – Romans 1:17
