...“What if the air we breathe is a drug that makes us see a dazed version of the world? But when people take real drugs, you see how real the world is” (calming_Giga). I have never smoked weed, taken any drugs and got high. But if getting high means having your mind, your conscious blown away and all that comes out of your mouth are questions after questions of the world that you live in? Then, yes. I have experienced that. And I’m pretty sure a lot of us have. To tell you the truth, if I wanted to experience what others have of getting high and seeing the “real world” – I don’t need the drugs, all I need is: This Will Make You Smarter. That’s all I need, to see the real world. It’s a book. It’s a big red book; maybe the same size as a “Harry...

...A Diagnosis and Prognosis of Western World Society Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was thirty five years old when he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize, presented by Gunnar Jahn of the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament on December 10, 1964 (Jahn). The reason for King’s nomination and award was for the doctor’s doctrine of nonviolence as a means of protest, specifically for social inequality in the southern United States that hit an apex in 1960’s. Upon accepting his Nobel Peace Prize, he made one of his most famous speeches, The Quest for Peace and Justice, of which he cited works and people of significance to recapitulate his ideology to his audiences. King’s lecture that consisted of these references was not simply intended to be for the audience at the Nobel Peace Prize Award ceremony, but rather he also spoke indirectly to politics, philanthropists and philosophers, opponents of the Black Civil Rights movement, and the devotees that had rallied for equality. The first discernible audience would assuredly be the politicians of the United States at the time of the Black Civil Rights Movement. The United States President John F. Kennedy (assassinated a year before passage of the bill in Dallas) was a predominant vocal advocate for the Civil Rights Bill that had a difficult time to be approved by Congress during his term. The tragedy of Kennedy’s death caused the loss of sponsors of the bill and stalled the passage of the new law. Lyndon B. Johnson assumed the role as...

...Haroon Abdullah Senior Project Rough Ideas Should freedom of speech have some legal restrictions? Abstract The report given below tells us about the “freedom of speech”, its history and why it has become a problem in the modern world today. The term freedom means that you have the complete right to live however you want, without any interference from a second or third person. It also means living the life you want and not living the way any government wants. Similarly, freedom of speech is the concept of the inborn human right to be heard, and to give voice to their own outlook, beliefs and judgments without the dread of being penalized and rebuked. This freedom is not limited to speaking publicly, and is usually taken to comprise of other forms of expression. It is the right to put forward your opinion without hesitation, to worship whoever you want, to criticize whoever and whatever, and to express yourself liberally.

This is truly a celebration - a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders. It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and in factories. In village markets and supermarkets. In living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families...

...Rhetorical Analysis The world is full of opportunities and dangers, no one knows what will happen next period. The difference between winners and losers is that winners are always with courage to challenge for the future. In this speech, Tiffany Shlain, a filmmaker, give some advice about this. She recounts in her commencement speech about some difficult periods of her life, such as having no money to shoot an important scene, the internet bubble, and her father’s death. Shlain’s purpose is to convey the idea that regardless of her difficulties, she was always full of boldness and confidence. She adopts pathos, ethos and logos in this speech to teach them how to become confidence and effort for their dream. It is effective to appeal to those students who have just graduated and feel confused about their future. Every author in their speech uses many interesting stories or making suspense in order to gain their audiences’ attention, which applied the pathos. In this speech, Shlain appeals to pathos to catch those students’ attention. She addresses that “Students went to the library because it was the only place to look things up, there was no World Wide Web!” and that her friend “finally told her boyfriend, she loved him, and she said she did it via email! And I cc’d his family, and I bcc’d his two ex-girlfriends.” Those two quotes show two different situations. First quote shows the students have to go to the library in order to get information before the internet is invented...

...presidencies, that were especially important . In both Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms” speech, and Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, the world is in an unstable state, and a fight for freedom is being waged. In Roosevelt’s speech however, the words spoken are meant to bring people together to fight against a common enemy, it is a call to arms, whereas Kennedy’s speech is meant to promote peace between the countries of the world, and to unite Americans. As with most presidents, the ideas of freedom are similar in both of the speeches, the freedoms that need protecting are the ones given at birth. These speeches were...

...versus George Saunders What does our future need? In a speech given by famous American author George Saunders called “Advice To Graduates”, he basis the theme of the speech on kindness. That our future will be better if we find kindness now. Another speech given by famous British author Neil Gaiman called “Why our Future Depends On Libraries, Reading, and Daydreaming” makes it the older people of society obligation to guide the young and innocent for a better future. Both speeches wants to guild children to a better future and to make the world a better place, and with Saunders enthusiasm, comedy, and delivery his speech is better. Saunders opens his speech with humor to capture the youth’s attention. He starts with a story of his childhood, telling of no regrets but one failed act of kindness. “ Moments of another human being suffering”(2). Here, Saunders is helping us to understand a changing point in his life where he understood that something was wrong with the way people think. Therefore, using himself as the examples demonstrates that he has been there before. Places where he had failed to act kind. The basis of his Saunders speech is to get listeners to make “being kinder a goal”. I choice this speech because the delivery of the speech was simply put so that all people could understand and comprehend.”You could do worse than: try to be kinder”(2). In simple words this line reveals what the whole speech will be about. This has significance because it is person...

...The Cold War Whodunit? Different views regarding the post war world order caused the Soviet Union and their leader, Joseph Stalin, to have conflicts with their allies (United State and Great Britain) after World War II. During the Second World War, the Allies had the common objective of defeating Nazi Germany and their ruthless leader, Adolf Hitler. Once the war was over, their difference in ideology led to Cold War which lasted much longer than World War II and it had a large impact on the economic, political, and cultural landscape of the world. The debate on who is responsible for the start of the Cold War has been debated for many years and is very complex. The Iron Curtain Speech by Winston Churchill plays a key role for future actions taken by the United States. The introduction of the Truman Doctrine is an example of a reactionary measure undertaken by the Allies that may not have occurred if Churchill did not give his famous speech. This essay will argue that the actions taken by the Western Allies between 1945 and 1948, albeit aggressive, were merely reactive, precautionary and preventative measures in response to the aggressive actions already taken by the Soviet Union. The outbreak of the Cold War can be tied to the aggressive nature of the Soviet’s actions behind the “Iron Curtain”, not the reactive, aggressive measures taken by the remaining Western Allies. The Iron Curtain Speech given by former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a warning to the United...

...Mrs. Bader AP Language and Composition September 30, 2011 Perils of Indifference Rhetorical Analysis The Perils of Indifference speech by Elie Wiesel is one that is well crafted and that sends a strong message to the audience. Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust, addresses the issues of the 20th century in his speech while at the same time explaining the dangers of indifference. Wiesel’s appeals to his audience, as well as his strong message and arguments are what make this speech so effective. In any powerful speech, the speaker communicates and relates directly to his or her audience. Elie Wiesel does a superb job of doing this in his Perils of Indifference speech, given in April 1999. His use of pathos throughout the speech makes the audience reflect on his words, and create a strong emotional reaction to what is being said. For one, Wiesel is a survivor of the Holocaust, one of the darkest times in the history of humanity. Due to this, sympathy is automatically drawn to the listener’s mind. When he speaks of his time in concentration camps during the Holocaust, he explains the horrible conditions that people had to live in. He then says about the people who were also there, “They no longer felt pain, hunger, thirst. They feared nothing. They felt nothing. They were dead and did not know it.” By saying this in his speech, Wiesel automatically brings forth the emotions of the audience. Specifically, these details bring out a feeling of guilt. Guilt is one...

...Camelot’s Heartbreak January 20, 1961 was the day John F. Kennedy swore to the nation to protect and serve the country’s needs as commander in chief. With a close election, Kennedy had to make his speech captivate all people of the United States and other countries around the world as well. Kennedy fell short in some areas to fully captivate everyone his speech should have been addressing. His speech was eloquent and very technical but coming from his background, Kennedy had to impress the leaders and the people of this country he was the right man for the job. Kennedy addressed many problems the world is facing, placing fear in his viewers. Kennedy did a great job at including the younger generation in his speech but he fell short on addressing the entire nation as a whole, leaving his audience fell disconnected. Kennedy won the election in a very close race leaving American’s skeptical about his ability to perform as a leader of the country and fulfill all the needs of the nation. Trying to lead a country with less support than expected was going to be hard for Kennedy, so his inaugural address needed to be on point connecting with everyone. Being the youngest president Kennedy attracted a new generation to the political world, which helped gain support for his campaign but the political veterans could see right through his false hopes and focusing more on other countries than of his own country. In paragraph 9, Kennedy is addressing other “republics south of our border”...

This quote is really similar to the philosophy Bono showed in his commencement speech, Because we can, We must, which he gave at Penn State University, in 2004. In the excerpt from Because We can, We Must, by Bono, he develops his philosophy that everyone should look for a cause that they are passionate about and fight for it by using rhetorical devices. One of the rhetorical devices he used in his speech is syntax. In the beginning of his speech, Bono says, “What are the ideas right now worth betraying? What are the lies we tell ourselves now?

...When many British settlers came to the new world, they were searching for the myths associated with that land. These myths commonly fell along the rights and freedoms that had been restricted in England. Along with restrictions on rights, the economic situation in England was dreadful. The masses of poor became homeless and jobless. Such restrictions on rights, like freedom of speech and freedom of religion, along with the obvious disparage between the rich and the poor, caused enough discontempt for masses of people to leave the nation in search for something better. These people heard the myths of the new world, being a land where anyone could become rich and free, and instinctively immigrated. These people, being influenced by the myths...
