Democratic Presidential Debate

After explaining Martin Luther King’s death, Kennedy tells the audience that they can act “as Martin Luther King did” by being compassionate and understanding of one another in a time of civil strife, which draws upon King’s reputation as a famous civil rights leader and practitioner of peaceful protest to influence the audience into practicing that same peaceful conduct (Kennedy). This appeal to King’s credibility is persuasive because it causes listeners to contemplate the actions of a familiar and trustworthy individual as well as an influential leader which leads to them desiring to follow in King’s footsteps and conduct themselves as he would with compassion and empathy for the entirety of mankind. In this section of the speech, Kennedy uses a hopeful tone to inspire the audience that despite the mournful attitude that will inevitably follow King’s death, there is still a chance for a bright future in which people are understanding and there is less discrimination if people behave following King’s example. Kennedy states that “we can make an effort” to “replace that

The public has labeled Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in many different ways over the years: a minister, a dreamer, and a leader. In Birmingham, April 1963, he could have been said to be a law-breaking extremist by many of the community’s members. Dr. King previously, before being thrown in jail, was the leader of the non-violent protests happening in the Birmingham area. A group of clergymen scorned his actions and those of his followers in a local newspaper. His rebuttal was not hateful, but rather insightful to the reasonings behind his actions and why they were necessary. Dr. King uses religious allusions and references which helps deliver this message and makes it so it is easily comprehensible. He has to put on a large aura of knowledge and

Sanders started off by offering plenty of nice words for Clinton, telling the audience he likes and respects her. Then, less than a minute later, he unloaded numerous attacks on the former secretary of state. He responded to Clinton's argument that her broad experience makes her qualified for the presidency in a way a one-note candidate like Sanders never could be, leaning again and again on one word: Iraq. As in: She was for the war in 2002; he was against it. Sanders turned his best Clinton punches into a huge combination, hitting her on topics like Wall Street, free trade,

On August 28th, 1963, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr stood on the steps in front of the Lincoln Memorial and delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.

Political impact of television, In 1960 Presidential Debate between Republican Vice President Richard Nixon and Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy was the first to be televised. “Television gave elected officials and candidates for office and unprecedented way to speak directly to millions, face-to-face”. The increasingly negative tone of ads and political commentary has driven many to abandon interest in politics. Television lets the viewers see what is going on in a political race, debate, and the polls as it is happening, and the viewers will make their minds up by what they see and hear. This is more expensive for the candidates, because they have to pay for air-time. The TV networks usually let you see what they want you to see, during a broadcast, especially when they cut to a commercial often.

Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr. are both very influential African American leaders. Both have had an extremely positive impact on America, especially for the African American community. Obama spoke out about the past struggles, struggles of today, and what can be done to resolve these struggles for African American children in particular during his speech at the NAACP Centennial Convention in 2009. In King’s speech “I Have a Dream” given back in 1963, he spoke about the change that we need and how he believes we can get there. Obama and King’s use of repetition, analogies, and ethos determines the impact they are leaving on their audience. Although Obama gave a strong powerful speech, King used those rhetorical devices more effectively to leave an impact on his audience.

In 1963, minister and rights activist, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a speech in front of Lincoln memorial to bring awareness to the unfairness of injustice for black people. King's speech was an effort to try and mandate the coming together of the black and white race and finally have the equality between us all be put into force for a free nation. As the speech left King’s mouth and entered 250,000 citizens ears, it left them to think about what point he was trying to make because he uses pathos, logos, and ethos.

The 2016 election has been the first election where social media has been a key player to how people got their information. Statistics say “44 percent of American adults said they had learned something new in the past week about the election from social media.” However, with social media such an important influence on the younger generation it is important for all of this information to be legitimate and truthful. Google and Facebook have recently changed their policies to try to stop fake news articles from popping up within their ad space. The spread of fake news articles skews the public's perception of the candidates. The guardian talks about how the American voter is not just one demographic (college educated individuals, white men, minorities etc. ) because of this lack of (straightforward), it's hard to get an accurate prediction on who would have won the election. Additionally, the media affected the election negatively because they did not give the general public enough information to understand the statistics that they were

On August 28, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a 17-minute public speech to over 200,000 supporters of the Civil Rights Movement. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech was a response to continued racial bias nearly 100 years after the end of slavery and a call to action, meant to unify the country in the fight to end segregation. King used his time at the historic event to urge Americans, of all races, to work together throughout the country to ensure equality for all citizens. Though King’s delivery of the speech is widely recognized as impactful because of his passionate sermon-like delivery, the context of the speech contains many rhetorical components. Those rhetorical efforts

I was not able to watch the debate the day it took place, however I did watch the entire debate online a few days after. It has been extremely difficult for me to watch this debate as well as the presidential debates focusing solely on their speaking styles, without paying much attention to the content that they are speaking about. It was also difficult to understand both candidates in some places, for they continuously talked over one another! Kain seemed to have more thought out answers. At one point Pence even asked, " Did you work on that one a long time? Cause that had a lot of really creative lines in it." They both used lots of personal examples throughout the debate. For
