Introduction In this policy analysis, I will be looking more in depth on the Conservation conference speech, which took place in the year 2015, delivered by the Secretary of State for education Nicky Morgan. In this analysing, I will be identifying different concepts of discourses used as well as the different uses of language used by Nicky Morgan to be persuasive throughout her speech to get her conservative ideologies on education opportunity as well as education reforms proposed by the party at the Tory conference speech in October. One other thing that I will be unpacking more in details will be the concealed discourses that Nicky Morgan Uses in advising in favor to the education system improvement and progression after the labour governments changes and time in power. Education policy Policy identifies as “an enlightenment concept, it is about progress, it is about moving from inadequacies of the present to some future state of perfection where everything works well and works as it should” said by (Ball, 2014). Citied by (Adam, 2014, p.5) policy and politics is observed as “ideological in that it forms broader political programmes and social movements” as a result the political position of Nicky Morgan then ends up influencing the ideological changes in society which she puts ahead as a shared views and “defining …show more content…

It is important to understand discourses since this allows the listeners and readers to recognize the hidden ideas and meanings which are imbedded in the sentences that are being read and understood. “The language used to determine policy actually constructs the very policies it seeks to provide” (Ball, 2014, p.33). The language discourses which Nicky Morgan uses in her speech represent the “meaning and the use of propositions and words” (Ball, 2014,

  • The Pros And Cons Of New Labour

    917 Words  | 2 Pages

    This essay will address whether New Labour contained policies with which it wished to pursue, or was solely developed in order to win elections. It is important to realise whether a political party that held office for approximately 13 years only possessed the goal of winning elections, or promoted policies which it wished to pursue. If a party that held no substance was governing for 13 years, it would be unfair to the people. New Labour was designed to win elections, but still contained policies which it wished to pursue. To adequately defend this thesis, one must look at the re-branding steps taken by New Labour and the new policies the party was going to pursue. Through analysis, it will be shown that New Labour promoted policies in regards

    The various forms of written mediums require a specific style to portray a response to an audience. A speech can be regarded as a performance of written work, such that words are arranged in a chosen way, allowing a listener to understand what the speaker is saying. Gillard’s speech tends to draw upon Herrick’s (2005) idea that rhetoric is seen as a tool to respond to a situation or

  • Essay On Discourse Community

    1428 Words  | 3 Pages

    Swales, Gee and Porter all give their understanding of how they believe a discourse community operates and contributes to society. It can be seen as a type of language used to connect between particular groups and integrate social identities into the world (Gee 484). The building of a discourse community starts with creating a type of communication plan. It is necessary that all members connect and confer alike in order to maintain a set of documented decisions and actions. A discourse community connects people to a lifestyle and provides a form of order that stretches the interconnections of words, writings, values, attitudes, and beliefs (Swales 220). Those interconnecting contacts though sometimes conflict with select purposes of other discourses, leading to confusion or even anarchy. When this occurs, awareness and a choice of acceptance or doubt sets into place (Porter 400). For a discourse community to continue all doubt and awareness have to be tracked and suppressed. The discourse community needs to insure that its values are well convinced and received by its members and potential new members, in order to remain accepted in a

    “Since no one but you can know what's best for you, government control can't make your life better” (Browne). In 1950, communism was rising around the world. During this time, Joseph McCarthy accused a countless number of government officials of being communist spies.

  • Deciphering Thatcherism: A Comprehensive Analysis

    592 Words  | 2 Pages

    Thatcher is considered to be one of the most controversial figures in modern British politics and remains the only 20th century Prime Minister to give her name to an ideology. There has never been a clear consensus on the meaning of Thatcherism and it has been used to describe a vast array of ideas. Nigel Lawson, who claims to have invented the term, describes it as ‘a mixture of free markets, financial discipline, firm control over public expenditure, tax cuts, nationalism, ‘Victorian values’…, privatisation and a dash of populism’. Broadly, it can be argued that the main feature of Thatcherism was its opposition to the policies of the ‘post-war consensus’. Both supporters and opponents of Thatcher have created a pattern from disconnected

  • Essay On The New Labour Party

    2195 Words  | 5 Pages

    In 1997, Tony Blair of the labour party won the United Kingdom’s general election on the ideology, goals and a party manifesto of a ‘new labour’, a revision, an update and a reform of the old labour party, bringing new radical politics to the 20th century - although some believe that labour only won the election due to the British publics increasing hate for Thatcher and the conservatives. The term new labour was a reflection on how the labour party was trying to reform itself and depart from the ideas of ‘old labour’ that had failed to win an election since 1974 and take on new ideas and politics that seemed radical, new and progressive and that would regain trust from the British voters. ‘New labour, new for Britain’ was the slogan that first appeared on the party’s manifesto in 1996 and soon became the party’s main slogan for the campaign of the 1997 elections. But how exactly was new labour new? New labour was trying to become more progressive with its politics that reformed all of the key policy domains that the government were interested in. By attempting to reform the party’s manifesto as well as clause IV, new labour attempted to become a new party that could progress British politics rather than rely on traditional politics of old labour. New labour wanted to modernise the party’s by perusing their traditional goals which include job support, economic growth, investments in public services, welfare and redistribution but they also wanted new progressive politics that catered to the minority groups in terms of social justice, for example civil partnerships (King,2002). However, some argue that new labour was not particularly ‘new’ and instead that Blair’s government had betrayed the traditions of the labour party and inst...

  • Party Politics in the UK Today

    648 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the last half of the twentieth century, the Conservative Party had a large proportion of the electorate in the south of Britain, with the Labour Party doing the same in the north of Britain. This therefore leads some to wonder how can a party call itself a national party if it only attracts voters from certain regions of the country - this then mirrors the class divide. Nonetheless, these divisions were not so evident during the Conservative victory of 1979 and, more recently, the Labour landslide victory in 1997. Regardless of this, there is an increasing amount of voter apat... ... middle of paper ... ...
