...When I first saw this article, I thought it was just going to be about another celebrity ranting against president Trump in a public setting. It did start out that way by describing how Meryl Streep brought many of her fans and fellow celebrities to tears by describing how heart broken she was by Trump’s actions. The example she used was when Donald Trump was recorded mocking a disabled reporter. Trump of course denied the rumour and many fans of Trump stated that Streep was what was wrong with the “liberal elite”. However, these comments against Meryl by Trump supporters was not the main point of this argument. The article then continued to go into how many people from the disabled community actually spoke up against her to reveal a shocking...

...quite the popularity and is already acting as if she will be the next president. Bernie Sanders managed to get some wins but not enough to beat Hillary. It is not looking too good for Bernie Sanders. Republicans: On the republican side, we have three representatives. Donald Trump, Marko Rubio and Ted Cruz. Donald Trump is in the big lead right now, and it seems more likely that he will be the candidate for the Republican Party. Second in lead after Trump is Ted Cruz. Marko Rubio is also gaining some traction now after Super Tuesday, but has a long to go if he wants to beat Trump. What seems likely now after Super Tuesday is that from the Democratic Party we will see Hillary Clinton, and from the Republican Party we will see Donald Trump. * Donald Trump has done much better than generally expected: Discuss possible reasons for Trump`s success: I think that the number one reason for Trump’s success is that he is a businessperson more than he is a politician, which means a lot to some people in the US. “Make America great again” is a quote that Trump is famous for. Trump has made many promises and proposed many solutions to existing problems that resides in the US, and therefore many people support Trump because of his promises. The UK and the EU: * Why do many Brits seem quite negative to the EU /”Europe”? Many Brits are negative to the EU because they feel that the EU is...

...Presidential Tweets Quote: "Hillary said that guns don't keep you safe. If she really believes that she should demand that her heavily armed bodyguards quickly disarm!" In this tweet, Donald Trump is talking about Hillary Clinton wanting to ban guns. Trump argues the fact that Clinton, herself, has her bodyguards fully armed at all times. His statement is correct because according to the second Amendment citizens have the right to, " A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This amendment discusses the security of people and addresses this matter by providing individuals with the right to bear arms to protect themselves. Trump defends the Constitution by arguing that if Clinton is permitted to have security, then why aren't other residents of America allowed the same right? We all know that...

...The United States prides itself in being very Democratic and progressive throughout time. For example, in the past eight years, we have had a black president, legalized gay marriage, provided healthcare to those who were not issued and fought for more rights in the LGBTQIA community. This could not have happened without the help from the people of America. However, due to the election of Donald Trump, I think that are three ideals we are falling short of: equality, justice, and popular sovereignty. In John Kingdon’s book American the Unusual, he compares America’s family leave policy with Norway’s. In Norway, new parents are able to take paid time off of work and have their job waiting for them, while in America, there is no paid leave...

...of affairs. From the beginnings of campaigns to the last debate, it has been a rollercoaster of insults, conspiracies, and dodging questions. Donald Trump has been a dominant figure in this race, and has exhibited a personality unlike any other candidate. His slogans of “Lyin’ Ted Cruz” and “Crooked Hillary” have brought him to the top of the Republican party, but have also brought controversy. Opposing candidates weren’t the only victims of his slander. He has slighted previous fashion models and even women in general, which he stated was “locker room talk.” Many voters are still undecided on who they will vote for this coming election day, and I don’t blame them. Although not...

...Whether you like him or not Donald Trump has really opened the eyes of the American people on the topic of refugees and illegal immigrants. Donald J. Trump has been against allowing refugees into the country, therefore many refugees have been getting into the country illegally. Since then there has been many debates regarding the allowance of refugees into the country. American has been viewed as the land of opportunity. By denying entry of these people who are coming from war torn countries,and we are showing the opposite of what america represents. People come to America to get away from the violence from their countries. Don't believe me? Just search up any interview with refugees and you will constantly hear that. I believe we are doing an injustice not only to the refugees, but to our country by not allowing these refugees. I have been shocked at the amount of deportations that have happened since Donald Trump has come into office. I know that this was one of Donald Trump's campaign promises, but I expected him to have some sympathy for families and deport those who have committed crimes. I've seen it on the news. Families being torn apart, kids crying and fearing for their mothers and fathers, and in some cases these kids get traumatized. It is heartbreaking...

...Pipeline For many political and environmentally significant reasons I am against the Dakota Access Pipeline. For instance, our president Donald Trump has had stocks in the pipeline, and sold them off last summer to avoid a conflict of interest. However, the chief executive Kelcy Warren, of the pipeline company, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), has made generous contributions to his political campaign. It appears Trump deliberately made the stocks for this company soar (Mufson, 2016). Secondly, the pipeline runs through sacred land according to the Sioux tribe and there are concerns it will contaminate their drinking water (Worland, 2016). Many protesters were arrested for their diligence in standing with the Sioux tribe in Standing...

...Thursday, commented on a wide range of Donald J Trump’s foreign policy statements. In a sharpe rebuke of her likely Republican opponent, she said that he was hopelessly unprepared and temperamentally unfit to be the commander in Chief. She also added that electing him would be terrible mistake. Clinton said of Trump, “this in not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us to war because someone got under his very thin skin”. Mrs. Clinton was speaking to an audience in San Diego who laughed and cheered as she debunked Mr. Trumps foreign policy pronouncements. She said they were “not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lie”. The speech revealed what was likely to be the core argument that Clinton will carry into the general election. Her speech was a mixture of biting sarcasm and somber assessment of the Obama years. There were no new policy prescriptions in her speech, while skipping over difficult episodes during her tenure as secretary of state, the NATO intervention in Libya and its bloody aftermath in Benghazi. It won her the kind of sustained live coverage that Mr. Trump has routinely enjoyed. Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s declaration of support for Trump stole her thunder in the first few minutes of the Clinton speech. Clinton said she imagined that Trump was composing nasty tweets about her even as she spoke which tuned out to be true. Trump wrote, “Bad performance by Hillary Clinton”...

...Ad #1: Political Attack Ad Against Opposing Candidate I decided to present this ad because I feel it is one of the most powerful political ads against Donald Trump and it shows how important it is for America to have a steady minded leader. This Advertisement implements the pathos strategy by using language in ways that evoke emotions in the audience. For Example, Donald Trump Stated, “Knock the crap out of her, would yah, seriously!”. He also demonstrates the lack of calm judgment by using vulgar language when expressing himself and threatens to bomb Korea resulting in the concern for our nation. The video also has rhetorical strategies such as the use of sound effects. In the event of a bomb launching this strategy helps to broaden the...

...Barack Obama – Speech On October 1, 2015 several people were shot and killed by a man at Oregon Community College. On the same day Barack Obama gave a speech. First of all the speech was gave to express Obama’s grief, – but he wanted more than just to show empathy. Obama presents a clear message - of changing the U.S gun laws - in his speech Obama delivered his speech to the press , so therefore all Americans are his receivers. In his speech Obama argues against the 2nd amendment, which gives every American the right to be armed. Obama blames the 2nd amendment for the recurrent mass shootings in America. To convince his receiver Barack Obama uses several rhetorical devices, which this paper will analyze. “I'd ask the American people to think about how they can get our government to change these laws, and to save lives, and to let young people grow up.” In this sentence Obama clarifies his message about changing gun laws. He also emphasizes who his audience is; “the American people”. Furthermore, the quotation is an example of his use of the appeal form pathos. He mentions young people and their right to grow up, which most Americans can relate to. Another example of the appeal form pathos is the phrase in the speech, where he mentions “American families, moms, dads, children, whose lives have been changed forever.” Here Obama not only mentions family members so that everyone can relate to them, he also emphasizes that it is the American families and therefore...

...Multiculturalism and Immigration Multiculturalism is a long and fancy-sounding word, often mistaken for its true meaning. Some define it as equality between all cultures, others say it is the combination of all cultures that creates new hybrid ones. Whatever the dictionary says, the true meaning of the word is its actual application in the real world. We all, including my group, have different approaches and views toward multiculturalism, but I personally relate it mostly to immigration. Immigration is a founding stone of multiculturalism and although there are strong arguments against it, in my eyes, it is important for the country and its diversification. Every year my friends and I come to school a week earlier for the international orientation week. It is an event I usually look forward to way in advance. It is an exciting moment when the new class of international students set foot in Ramapo College for the first time. The people are of different ages and background. They come from exotic places like Burma, Italy, Nepal, Bulgaria and many more. Most of them have never been to the States before and the change they are going through is quite tough. Communication with them is not always easy. They come from different cultures, have different understandings of life and different ideas about what is wrong and what is right. The communication with foreigners largely depends on their proficiency in English. Many students struggle with their accents and do not feel comfortable...

...The most controversial topic in political campaigns is the dealing with illegal immigrants, which has many people from different countries worried. Illegal immigrants risk their lives to have a better life and opportunity here in America. Unfortunately these dreams and chances are looking dimmer and dimmer each year. For the past years Obama has been promising these people a better life, giving them a great amount of hope, to let them down not only once but twice. For this upcoming election, Donald Trump has a plan, it does not give hope, instead it gives fear . Trump wants to deal with illegal immigrants by removing them from the U.S. and sending them back where they came from. The question that comes to mind is when thinking of this situation...
