On September 5th 1995, the United Nations held its fourth World Conference on Women. In attendance were some of the world 's most prominent women, including Hilary Clinton. During the conference, Clinton gave a speech addressing all of the good women have done and the accomplishments of the last few years. But continuing on in the speech, she begins to address the wrongs that still need to be righted. “At this very moment, as we sit here, women around the world are giving birth, raising children, cooking meals, washing clothes, cleaning houses, planting crops, working on assembly lines, running companies, and running countries…They are being denied the right to go to school be their own fathers and brothers. They are being forced into prostitution, …show more content…
Clinton has become popular with my generation, and her name has certainly gotten more recognition as she gains a stronger hold in politics. I chose Clinton because she is a very active enthusiast for human rights, more specifically those of children and women. Two groups that often get overlooked, and in many countries they are the ones who suffer the most. I identify with Clinton because I have experienced gender prejudice, and obstacles that stand in my way simply because I am not male. When I found her speech given at the United Nations fourth World Conference on Women, I knew it would be the perfect piece to analyze because of her broad background on supporting women’s rights, leading to her having a strong ethos and logos to support her speech. And of course her pathos resonated with the first-hand experience she’s had in countries where women and even children are oppressed. The speech Clinton gives is one that not only compliments women’s accomplishments in history, it also sheds light on the areas of human rights that still need to be improved upon. Hilary Clinton is an active member in the movement to improve women’s rights and give a voice to the youth, all around the world. In 1977, Clinton helped to found Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. In Arkansas she personally took part in reforming the education system. Between 1997 and 1991, Clinton helped create the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, the Adoption and Safe Families Act, and the Foster Care Independence Act. Taking to social media to get her voice heard, Clinton has always tried to spread awareness for empowerment of
According to the American Rhetoric, Hilary Clinton delivered her remarks to the U.N. World Conference on Women, September 5th, 1995, in Beijing, China. During her address, she covered several issues surrounding women from around the world. Hillary motivated these women through her words and demeanor. She made it apparent that it necessary for women to come together “every day in every country,” as stated in her speech, listed on the American Rhetoric’s website. Towards the end of her speech, Hillary says, “We must move beyond rhetoric.” I do believe it is possible for a speech to truly inspire someone to move beyond words, into action for change.
Examples of her claims of cause is stating that if women are treated equally then the result of that is “their families will flourish” (Clinton, par. 7) and this shows that because women are limited because of their gender, their family is suffering the consequences. Clinton’s claims of facts are “Women comprise more than half the world’s population, 70% of the world’s poor, and two-thirds of those who are not taught to read and write” (Clinton, par. 10) and “Women are also dying from diseases that should have been prevented or treated” (Clinton, par.10). These are stated to show that because women are mistreated, these statistics are happening all around the world. Her claims of value such as “We need to understand there is no one formula for how women should lead our lives” (Clinton, par. 15) show that cultures that think little of women are limiting them in all their abilities and capabilities. Clinton’s examples of policy claims are as follows “It is time for us to say here in Beijing, and the world to hear, that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women’s rights as separate from human rights” (Clinton, par. 17) and “Women must enjoy the rights to participate fully in the social and political lives of their countries, if we want freedom and democracy to thrive and endure” (Clinton, par. 27). These are stated to show that injustice is happening
After years of waiting for the world to change, the ideas of women’s equality were mostly accepted. Women are now stronger and more independent; they participated and hold high-ranking positions in every aspect of life. They support other women too, such as those who are still suffering in gender discrimination, violence, sexual abuse, and toxic relationships. The entire world is also reaching out to them. World War II has been a significant change in women’s lives. Still, it remains as an ongoing changing process. If we continue to challenge every idea that is against women and spread the ideas about women’s equality, we can advance every woman’s life in no time. While we wait for that moment to arrive, we are not going to stop until every woman is treated equally, every young girl is educated decently, and every baby girl is raised
I used to teach at a school for underprivileged children back home in India. It was not uncommon for girls to just stop attending. The reason given was that their fathers thought that they did not need to go to school. Their only goal in life was to get married and look after their family. Clinton’s use of strong words such as ‘barred’ and ‘banned’ increases the seriousness of the topic. She also uses the rhetorical device of anaphora to get her point across. She starts a series of sentences with “It is a violation of human rights when…” and then goes on to describe a number of horrifying situations. She does not shy away but instead describes them in graphic detail, invoking in the audience a sense of sympathy. Additionally, Clinton describes a number of varying scenarios which the women, who comprised the audience, could relate to. In her speech, Clinton tugs on the heartstrings of the audience and becomes a representative of the
One strength Hillary Clinton possesses is her vast political experience. Her lengthy resume speaks volumes to her knowledge of the issues and proves her readiness to be president to many voters. Her experience as Secretary of State allows Clinton to boast about being a stable hand in the rapidly changing global climate of today, therefore she must relate her experience to being a steady leader. Her time at the Children’s Defense Fund bolsters her on social issues and improves her humanity and likability. Also, her experience can be emphasized by means of high-profile endorsements, like that of Barack Obama, who called her one of the most qualified candidates in history (Bump). This matters to educated voters as they recognize that Mr. Trump, unstable in terms of
Entering into the realm of politics, you’ll find yourself in a mist of hope, deceit, encouragement, and strategic plots set forth by nominees, all with the objective to lock in your vote. Such tactics do not just entail friendly and fair competition; why we witness name of an opponent being tarnished, solely as a stepping stool for the other’s progression. In the wake of the recent, on-going 2016 Presidential Election, we will highlight the use of some informal fallacies delivered in the conventional speeches delivered by America’s two candidates: Hillary Clinton in representation for the democrats and Republican Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump: Truth Exposed.

In a society where hundreds of conflicting sources can be summoned in an instant, many are finding it increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction. So, in an effort to reduce American fallacy, we have researched Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and completed the task for you.

Vogelstein began her talk by highlighting that not only in gender equality essential to our moral imperatives, but it also is important to U.S. foreign policy, where it promotes peace, security and prosperity. She highlights that women
Hillary Clinton once said, "we must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society. She has stressed the importance of this quote by continuously trying to better the world. Clinton has taken part of many reforms, positions, and continues to promote equality for all. Throughout her life, she has helped with education, health care, and foreign affairs. Hillary Clinton was an influential woman in the twentieth and still is influential in this century. She has had obstacles in her life and career yet still continued to conquer whatever they may be. She has held many executive positions in her lifetime that have helped her gain experience and knowledge on politics and law. She has broken the stereotype of what a first lady is expected to be and what tasks they may have. Clinton has created a lasting impact to society and continues to expand her legacy on the world today.
At first, during the 2016 U.S Presidential Election, many people were of the opinion that they will cast their vote for Hillary Clinton due to Donald Trump unconventional mode of campaign. Trump attacked almost every sector of American society with insults, for instance, according to CNN news editor (Tal Kopan ) Trumps “first controversial campaign remarks on the country came in his presidential announcement speech, when he called some Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals”.
In New York, Malala Yousafzai delivered a speech to the United Nations. Yousafzai addresses the issue of human rights for women and their treatment in certain countries. She stresses the importance of women not
Disenfranchised women face the brunt of this reality by the denial of access to resources, well paying jobs, and ability to have autonomy in their lives. While women continue to challenge this around the world, it is important to remember how much change and
A free concert featuring Jay Z, Beyoncé, Chance The Rapper, and Big Sean urged their audience to vote for Hillary Clinton. The famous rap and hip hop icons excited the crowd to have a female president. Beyoncé, especially made a statement about wanting her daughter to see a woman lead the country. Furthermore, Clinton made an appearance and told the audience to vote for her. The music icons ensured the crowd that Trump cannot be president, since he will not make America great again. The concert also collected voter information. Voters that enjoyed the concert said they will support Clinton’s campaign. However, Trump commented on the concert claiming that he does need celebrities to get people to hear his campaign. He bragged about filling a
During the late 20th century, the global issue of gender inequality gained a significant amount of recognition because of Hillary Clinton. This is because in 1995, during the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, Clinton expressed her passion towards ending the abuse of women in her speech “Women’s Rights are Human Rights.” Through the use of pathos and historical allusions as well as a confident posture with calm, direct eye contact and a clear, powerful tone, Clinton successfully enlightened the audience about the issue and persuaded them that changes must be made. She made females everywhere feel united and strong, a strong emotion that would remain with those women and other women after them for a long time.
“This is painful and it will be for a long time,” Clinton said, capturing her proponents’ disappointment in losing the campaign after a strong lead in the polls. She could not hide the remorse from her loss; however, the message she sent through her speech was nonetheless powerful and inspiring. “We 've spent a year and a half bringing together millions of people from every corner of our country to say with one voice that we believe that the American dream is big enough for everyone -- for people of all races and religions, for men and women, for immigrants, for LGBT people, and people with disabilities. For everyone,” Clinton announced, to a standing ovation from the audience. By doing this, she quickly reaffirmed that this loss is not the end, and urged all people to never stop fighting for the values they believe in. This appeal to emotion is a significant part of Clinton’s speech, as it comforted millions of devastated women and people of color whom a Trump presidency will deliver nothing but uncertainty, hatred, and
