Dwight D Eisenhower's Farewell Speech

He acknowledges that the circumstances of WWII and the rise of communism was necessary for the US to invest in its defense, and as a result the US established a “permanent armament industry.”

The passage A Tale of Segregation a man named William. William and his father go to a local spring to fetch water. When his turn arrives after waiting for white people getting water 2 white men grab him and tell him he must wait until all the other white people. Williams father then said that that act was “real hatred and prejudice”. I feel this Revelation with JFK’s Last word speech. In the speech he was talking about the governor of Alabama trying not to allow Black students to register. The governor was blocking the students from entering just as the two white men did to williams father. Both were acting upon “hatred and prejudice” actions.

Language plays a crucial role in the development of power. Famous personalities in the United States use rhetorical devices to emphasize a specific point and make it clear to the audience. President Thomas Jefferson is a Democratic-Republican and won the election of 1800. In 1801 he presented his inauguration speech and was significant because it was the first time in the history when the power shifted from one party to the other. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as an American minister and played an active role in the civil rights movement. John F. Kennedy delivered his speech during his inauguration in order to develop relations with the Soviet Union and end Cold War. All the speeches were delivered by most known personalities and made use of rhetorical devices such as allusion and repetition to make their message memorable in the hearts of the citizens of America.

Prior to John F. Kennedy’s inauguration was, of course, the election of 1960, in which Kennedy went face to face with Richard Nixon on issues such as, the Cold War, Kennedy’s religious beliefs, and the display of each’s competence. In Kennedy’s inaugural address, he not only alludes, but also addresses to the Cold War, and makes mention of his future plans and Roman Catholic religious beliefs; and, he does so through use of allusions and anaphoras. Through the use of allusions and anaphoras, Kennedy effectively achieves his purpose of fulfilling citizen’s expectations, addressing the Cold War, and stating the United States’s future plans to his audience, the United States of America and other nations, through emphasis and rhetorical appeals towards pathos and ethos.

The 1960’s were a troublesome time, here in the United States and all around the world. War and unrest haunted every citizen and every nation. Two brave men stepped forward to offer solutions for peace. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy delivered speech’s whose content and delivery inspired a generation of the future.

A crucial part of American independence, Washington assumed the role of president after a unanimous vote. Following his two terms as president in 1797, Washington wrote a farewell address addressed to friends and fellow citizens of America. The letter was commonly published in newspapers and readily available to the public. Washington began his address by announcing his refusal to run for a third term. The majority of the letter includes critical advice advocating for unity when faced with the negatives of political parties, the debate of the Constitution, and foreign relations.

On June 26, 1963, the famous words “Ich bin ein Berliner” changed the world. These words, which in English mean “I am a Berliner,” were delivered by John F. Kennedy in West Berlin. His speech was viewed worldwide and brought national attention to the Berlin Crisis and the Cold War. Today, most people have heard about the speech, but may not know a whole lot about it. They may ask themselves the following questions:

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger their liberties or democratic processes” (Dwight Eisenhower). These were the words of Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, in his 1961 Farewell Address. These words were a warning to Americans. Eisenhower was one of the greatest military minds America has ever known. Leading America through World War II and Korea, and winning against all odds. He was a highly respectable figure and highly intelligent. He used these skills to lead the American people into a prosperous period. His warnings of the future were to be taken with the utmost urgency and fear. He wanted to protect the American people from themselves.

In his farewell address to the American people, President Dwight David Eisenhower enumerated his fears for the country. More than this, he told the American people that it was their responsibility to be vigilant, to ensure that the government acted for the betterment of the American people and not for the politicians who held office. During this address, President Eisenhower gave a warning to both the citizens of the United States and to the leaders of the nation. It is all too easy to fall into patterns and to allow for others to acquire power beyond the parameters of what is either fair or just. The only means of fighting the potential challengers of freedom and justice both within and without the United States is vigilance and dedication to independence and personal freedoms.

The speaker is Lou Gehrig. He was a baseball player that suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He gave his speech as part of his retirement. It was very optimistic.

“As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war--as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years--I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.” It takes about a decade to truly evaluate one’s policy and president Eisenhower, compared to the other US presidents, has one of the better reputations amongst its citizens and the historians. President Eisenhower’s farewell address was strong, smart yet overweening for some. As a diplomat, what he said was not completely appealing, however, as an individual, his stance was as splendid as the US army.

In Richard Nixon’s White House Farewell speech, he says “au revoir”, meaning farewell. He begins his speech by explaining that even though he is saying goodbye, this is not over. He describes how his presidency is coming to an end and how he said goodbye to the White House staff. Nixon compares the house to others around the world by saying that even though it is not the biggest or richest house, it is still the best because of the dedication and devotion the staff displays. He announces that he is very proud of the Cabinet and the members that have served with him in his years of presidency. He admits that there were many mistakes, but he has learned from them, causing them to be a better government. He goes on to explain how his father was

In his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention on June 27, 1936, President Franklin Roosevelt mentioned many challenges and concerns facing the United States during that time period. In his speech the President used short-hand phrases, brief references, and pejorative naming to make his larger, political and ideological points. FDR used terms like ‘economic royalists’, along with phrases like ‘new despotism wrapped in the robes of legal sanctions’, to identify the large corporations, investors and employers, who according to him are trying to influence policies and control the government for their own personal benefits. The President also uses phrases like ‘Necessitous men are not free men’, to reiterate his concerns and to point out how the working people of America are being deprived from their rights by these very same privileged employers. FDR compares 1936 to 1776, referring to the American Revolution and its significance in putting the power back in the hands of the average Americans, and how it is necessary to check the power of the corporations in order to protect the interests of the American people and restore the power back in the hands of the people.

On one bitter January day, John F. Kennedy presented his Inauguration speech to the citizens of America and the people of the world. At the completion of a competitive election, Kennedy used this speech to connect with the audience and celebrate his victory as the 35th president. He addresses the crowd with a speech that is remembered for years ahead, as it emphasizes on personal obligation and responsibility. Kennedy’s strong appeal to ethos and compelling emotional and logical contentions help inspire the audience to make a difference for the better. Furthermore, Kennedy influences the rest of the world by representing different nations as one whole populace.

Ceremonial speeches are given to mark ceremonial events and help a society move beyond their differences. John F. Kennedy gave a ceremonial speech, his inaugural address, on January 20th, 1961, marking one of the most historic speeches in time. In John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address speech, that is being evaluated today, the author uses social cohesion as a call for the nation to give back to the country, as we should do of course, and to ask, and expect less from the government, but that we should all have equal rights. Social Cohesion is described as the words, values, goals, speeches, and ceremonies that glue a group or society together and serve to maintain social order. John F. Kennedy uses
