In our skit Trump believed that our society is falling apart as we speak, because of the Mexicans jumping borders and coming into the country with no documents, and he also says that we can’t forget the terrorist bombing people. Trump’s point of view of having a society that’s united is to get rid of the terrorism and undocumented Mexicans. Hitler’s view on that is to get the Jews out and let the German rule the world, he also brings God’s name into his messy work. He says, “The almighty god would want us to take action”. Dr. King believe to have a unity within the society, everyone must work together. To hold a society we must understand each other and give everyone a chance to explain who they are as an individual that makes us a society.
He uses the example of Jesus Christ as an extremist for love and goodness, and that he rose above everyone else. He then states that maybe more people like him are needed in this world. He believes this because during the time he was protesting, all people wanted was to hurt everyone else. The U.S. was trying to oppress blacks, and the some of the blacks were fighting back. Instead, King feels that the way to solve our problems is to have more people who try to make things better than people who want to be on top and have power over the others.
His train of thought was the polar opposite of Nietzsche. King believed that everyone should have equal opportunity and that you should treat people the way you would like to be treated. On top of that everyone should be treated with dignity, no matter what skin color or what ethnicity you are being it White, Black, Mexican, Asian, Native American and anything else everyone deserves the simple things in life respect, dignity, and most importantly equal opportunity. While King was sitting in that cramped, dirty jail cell after being arrested for civil disobedience, he wrote the now famous “Letters from Birmingham”. In “Letters from Birmingham” King writes about a number of horrific experiences that he has been through and other people who have also been through what he has been through and how they have also used civil disobedience to protest peacefully. One of the topics King also mention one major thing which is that if the white man agrees with the actions of Shadrach Meshach, and Abednego than that cannot criticize King’s actions for protesting in the same manner. Another viewpoint that King was an indisputable one which is that if we’re assuming that democracy is good and therefore everyone is equal, then if that’s the point then everyone should be treated equally. By King saying this he’s saying that if the consensus is that everyone should be treated as everyone else, which once you look
Once Dr. King arrived to Birmingham jail, he was faced with difficult conditions. An ally of his sneaked in a newspaper that was published on April 12th. There was a statement written by eight clergymen called “A Call for Unity,” which went against what King and his campaign were implementing on the streets of Birmingham, Alabama. The statement enraged Dr. King to write a response. Dr. King used logos in the letter to help support his counter argument against the clergymen. “In spite of my shattered dreams..” King wrote, “... I came to Birmingham with the hope that the religious leadership... Would see the justice.” By stating this, he showed pathos. King put into words that through the process to end segregation, there was hardship along the way, and dreams were destroyed by other people's actions who did not display care towards the black community.
The letter responded to several criticisms made by the "A Call for Unity" clergymen, who agreed that social injustices existed but argued that the battle against racial segregation should be fought solely in the courts, not the streets. As a minister, King responded to the criticisms with religious ideologies. As an civil rights activist he argued with legal, political, and historical views. As an African American, he spoke of the country’s oppression of black people. Altogether,
King Jr. calls to those in society to put away the “racial prejudice” and encourages those to think clearly instead of being in a dazed and confused state of misunderstandings and fear. Quickly a nation can be corrupted by national policies, especially if they are unjust. “Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity” (King). Referring to the nation as an unstable foundation, King Jr. calls to one another to create a uniformed and solid ground for everyone to stand on as a nation. Martin Luther King Jr. uses clear metaphors and alliterations to clearly and visually make his points on segregation.
King is saying in his letter that the time given to us right now is mainly for us to do good and not start fights and arguments between each other and not let evil get in between us. King states, "Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood," which means that we are supposed to live in this world and love each other as brothers or sisters and not start fights among each other. As men of God they should see that their assumptions and actions are wrong and they should take a second look at the work Dr.King is doing.
He talked about racism, a non-violent approach, freedom and what should be demanded by the government. King showed these topics go hand in hand and you can't talk about one without bringing up another. Like explaining racism and all the things happening to his brothers and sisters it was almost inevitable that he mentioned how him and followers were able to used a peaceful protest to make a statement against violence, instead of reacting out of emotions with violence. King then talked about freedom should be granted, no matter the race. King thought that nobody should stand for being the last to receive what’s technically was theirs when it came to freedom, he believed we shouldn’t wait for the government, but demand freedom from the government.“Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds”(King page 1). He felt that living in the USA, freedom is
King is about to make. His purpose was not to further divide, but to unite. Abraham Lincoln is the central figure, it was his purpose to preserve the Union. It is Dr. King's purpose to call for unity of the people. It is only within this framework that Dr. King can make his next statement and still retain the white portion of his audience.
Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.
Throughout the whole speech there is a message of togetherness and brotherhood. King was not talking about black togetherness. He was talking about everyone in the world coming together to improve themselves and their surrounding environment. A few people finally began to realize that togetherness was needed to accomplish their goals. Some black people along with some white people began to join hands, voices, and souls to fight for the rights that every human being deserved.
King uses a “peace and love” style of protest. The letter which king wrote (King) defends his strategy to a nonviolent resistance to racism. He answers the forces of hatred with nonviolent resistance in the pursuit of what he called the "beloved community." (Kasson). He also insisted that nonviolent direct resistance was not a surrender but a “spiritually strenuous confrontation of injustice and oppression”. In this process, however, protesters aimed not "to defeat or humiliate their opponents, but to win their friendship and understanding." As King tirelessly insisted, "The end is redemption and reconciliation. The aftermath of nonviolence is the creation of the beloved community, while the aftermath of violence is tragic bitterness”. “I want you to love our enemies. Be good to them. Love them and let them know you love them. For what we are doing is right. What we are doing is just. And God is with us" (Kasson). By using an approach of
Donald Trump’s speech addressed to the United Nations General Assembly on September 19, 2017 was not effective. Despite the speech having a universal message that is hard to disagree with, you can tell exactly which parts of the speech were written by a speech writer, and which parts of the speech were written by Trump himself. This wouldn’t be an issue if Donald Trump’s inflections weren’t full of fallacies and unnecessary statistics. For example, in the third paragraph, President Trump tries to establish his Ethos by listing improvements in the United States since he took office. But many of these cherry-picked improvements have absolutely nothing to do with him being elected. They also have nothing to do with the general theme of the speech. This speech did have examples of effective rhetorical strategies. However, the bad far outweighs the good in this speech and takes away from the good message it originally had.
As an example that society is strong when united is King’s “I Have a Dream Speech”. Before the speech there were protests caused by racial issues, but around and during the time of his speech there were peaceful protests. After his assassination multiple violent protests once again broke out mainly because James Earl Ray (a white man) didn’t agree with King’s thoughts and goals for the US and assassinated Dr.King. King once said “We hold these truths to be
With the belief in God, help will be offered from him to realise the dream. Towards the end Dr. King shifts emphasis towards religious unity and freedom, appealing not only to an American value, but to the First Amendment of the US Constitution . The line “God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands” is part of King’s dream. It is very similar to the passage of
Two powerful figures who play a role in shaping America into the country it is today, made speeches that inspired the nation to focus on being united, not divided, so they can stand up for what they believe is right and the American promise. Barack Obama and Dr. Martin Luther King made encouraging speeches about how their country should unite and protest for their rights. During the civil rights movement, African-Americans fought for equal rights and practiced civil disobedience. MLK encouraged America as a whole to fight for justice and to go against oppression. During his speech he mentions his hope that one day “With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free together” (King). He’s portraying the future he wants for America and saying that he firmly believes that all of this can only be fulfilled if everyone works together as one. King has faith in the union and he knows that if all of its citizens persevered during that rough time together and fought against the injustices happening, one day they will be able to achieve the freedom of being united with all Americans and having equality in their country. He touches on the word ¨together¨ a number of times to really emphasize that all of the goals can only be achieved if they do it as one not as divided individuals. He also acknowledges that this can be accomplished if they have faith that they can do it and he
