It is important to know that for any speech to be coherent and flawless there is a need for prior preparations. One of the major preparations for a good speech is the formulation of an outline. An outline helps the speaker to be able to logically organize their ideas and correct some of the weaknesses that might result from their thought pattern. In the formulation of an outline one has to create a title about what they are going to talk about (Gregory 237). The title should be followed by the purpose and central ideas that the speaker seeks to present to ...

The process that I have been undertaking in writing the two texts is that of assessing the text that the author has with the audience. Rhetoric analysis is the process of analyzing text and getting the point of view of the author and trying to assess the gaps that are found in the text. This process helps the readers understand the subject that is being analyzed even better. It brings out the issues that are missing and, in the process, makes the understanding of the text clearer. This process is important in understanding the text that is under review. ...

Introduction:

The article talks about how the different ethical perspectives in the most modern world have lead to different answers to many problems. It seems that everything can be justified using the modern ethical theories as promulgated by John Stuart Mills and Immanuel Kant. It is the approach, or the perspective of looking at the things that leads to a different answer every time. In other words, there is no definitive answer to the ethical dilemmas. For example, the author of the article cites the example of closure of General Motors plan in the United States of America. He states that ...

According to Clifford, how is tribal art displayed in the Hall of Pacific Peoples at the American Museum of Natural History?
Clifford is very enthusiastic about the manner in which exhibits are displayed at this museum. He has positive words to say about the installation since it brings out the original and highly intriguing characteristics from a world which is sadly no more. Largely the work of the indefatigable Margaret Meat who died in 1978, the installation reveals a large number of exhibits which have been saved from what Clifford aptly describes as a ‘destructive history’. The artefacts vary from medical ...

In her article, ‘From Pariah State to Global Protagonist: Argentina and the Struggle for Human Rights’, Kathryn Sikkink provides a luminous illustration on the role that Argentina has played in shaping the human rights discourse in the world. Sikkink’s main point is that most of the human rights practices and conventions of the world trace their roots to the Argentina. She notes that while many would naturally expect practices to flow from the more powerful countries to the less powerful countries, this has not necessarily been the case as far as the field of human rights is concerned. This ...

Henry Louis Gates, Jr. argues in his article War of Words: Critical Race Theory and the First Amendment that there exists a tension between civil rights and civil liberties with specific emphasis on the freedom of speech and hate speech or freedom from expression. In the description for fighting words and group defamation with the citation of court decisions in 1942 and 1952, Gates explains that fighting words refer to the words used in their very utterances to inflict injury or tend to initiate an immediate breach of peace. He additionally describes group defamation as designed to prohibit public expression ...

In terms of this paper we will discuss the speech of Martin Luther King Jr. called " I have a dream". We will discuss the author's usage of various rhetorical devices and techniques, analyze them and make an attempt to understand the purpose of their usage.
Martin Luther King Jr. is well known around the world owing to his activity and work in 1960s. He was one of the brightest personalities in the fight for the civil rights of Afro-Americans and his speech "I have a dream" is a great example of his position concerning the issue. In addition, it is possible ...

The article discusses changes that have taken place over time in the gender construction of women in China.

The article is premised on establishing the relationship between changes in the economic state of China and its impact on women relative to the gender construction in the Chinese society. It also traces the path that Chinese women have taken to assume the current position they hold in the Chinese public sphere. Indeed, the article further advances the argument that gender constructions of women in the western society cannot be used to explain the gender construction of women in China. The article notes that women issues were for a long time disregarded in the development discourse in China. In earlier ...

It is important to realize that effective speeches have to entail thorough research. Relying on personal knowledge and experience to give a speech, in most cases causes the overall quality of the speech to be poor. Gregory explains that relying on one’s experience makes a speech to be dull and in most cases inaccurate (Gregory 100). Using of research material makes sure that the information that is presented in speeches is factual ...

- What is important to know in this chapter for quizzes
In the preparation of any speech, logic, details and facts are crucial for its success. There is great need for ample research and the formulation of an outline. The outline is essential for the logical and chronologic (if need arises) flow of ideas, concepts and facts (Gregory, 2010). The logical flow of ideas will help the speaker convey their message and effectively convince their audience on their view point on the subject matter.
In order for the outline to be complete and effective, one has to ...

- What is important to know in this chapter for quizzes?
The first major lesson in this chapter is the optimal organization of speeches. The organization helps the audience to understand, remember, and believe the speech. The chapter stresses the organization of the speech into the introduction, body and the conclusion parts. The speaker should write the body of the speech before the introduction because it would be hard to introduce a non-existent body.
The chapter also teaches one on the most suitable way of creating the body of a speech. This entails creating the goal of the speech ...

- In order to be able to answer the quiz questions one should know that the speaker should employ attention grabbers (attention materials) in the introduction of the speech as a tactic of gaining the listeners attention. Some of the attention materials include the storytelling (factual or hypothetical illustrations), asking questions (rhetorical or overt-response), provocative statements, quotations, arousing curiosity, using demonstrations, and using incentives to listen (Gregory 220-223). A poor introduction fails to capture the interest and attention of the audience while a poor conclusion would reduce the effectiveness of a good speech (Gregory 218).
After garnering the attention of the ...

Q1.
Milgram’s study of obedience was an experiment set to investigate the effect of authority on obedience using the background of German soldier who committed horrific deeds during the Holocaust, whereby he concluded that people practiced obedience out of desire to appear cooperative or out of fear. This study was an example of the power of persuasion since it involved the investigation of what influenced people to do something (obey) in relation to those in power. Coercion and persuasion overlapped but the experiment involved more of persuasion since he did not threaten the autonomy of the subjects ...

Jennifer’s situation is one that is faced by many people every day, in a wide variety of scenarios.

This makes my opinion on the most influencing and aspiring speaker from his speeches to be martin Luther King junior. Drawing some examples from various speeches, this man appears to have had his culture at heart. In one of the speeches, he gave a narration of killings in Alabama and Mississippi while the Africans are asked by the government to remain nonviolent. He moves further to accept that Africans were being used as lifeless beings only to be used by the whites as less human.
On the aspect of aspiration to the people, this leader appears to be glued ...

Speakers who are distinctly blessed with the art of speaking have a way of communicating that with no doubt many people identify with. One such orator and icon of the black people in America is Malcolm X. he may not have been alone because others suh as martin Luther King Junior were also so good in speaking their minds out but Malcolm X stands out as a very persuasive orator because he had a way of speaking his mind strongly without mincing words. He could also point out facts without fear of being intimidated neither by the society nor by the government.

Is Subliminal Persuasion a Myth?

Subliminal persuasion is technique that is used to make an individual acknowledge something without the need of making an outward suggestion, or without making the individual realize the attempt to influence him or her. So is subliminal persuasion a myth? Yes it is, according to Simons & Jones (2011) who observes that many social psychologists conclude that subliminal persuasion is a myth. Various studies demonstrate that subliminal tapes have no therapeutic value. The study that supposedly gave birth to subliminal persuasion was the Vicary Study, but this study has never been described in professional literature, and it has not been replicated successfully. ...

This article review provides a comprehensive description of the author’s strengths and weaknesses in various aspects of scholarly writing. The author opened the paragraph with a clear and simple statement that is instrumental in introducing the subject matter. However, he fails to offer a captivating introduction to the statement in the sentences that follow. Moreover, the adoption of titles that cannot be justified for the personal computer fails the threshold required for scholarly writing. The opinion of the writer is lumped into a general statement. This makes it hard for the leader to decipher the intricate details of the paragraph. The quality ...

Treating apraxia of speech (AOS) with EMA-supplied visual augmented

Feedback
History of Problem
In 1999, Katz et al. explored EMA as a means of remediating fricative articulation deficits. They conducted this experiment on a 63-year-old woman with Broca’s aphasia and moderate-to-severe AOS. For 1-month she was provided with: EMA visual feedback for tongue tip position during fricative production and foil treatment in which a computer program delivered voicing-contrast stimuli for simple repetition. There was improvement from the visually guided feedback. The phonetic contrast treated in the foil condition showed only slight improvement, with a return to baseline 10 weeks later. A number of studies have shown that facilitatory effects ...

Research entails formulating a thesis statement and providing evidence to the facts put forward by the statement. In order to do the research, I had to do some rhetorical reading before engaging into rhetorical writing. While writing the research paper on ESL community analysis, I engaged in multiple drafting and proofreading, I also applied the various rhetorical styles such as font arrangement, grammar effects and diction.
The role of rhetoric research and writing is to motivate the student or the writer in his work, my previous research is no exception either (Martin, N. 38). The purpose of the paper ...

Speech: Purpose and Scope

It has always been a common practice for a King or Emperor to give motivational speeches to public and army before the start of a big event specially a war. There has been several such speeches, given by various leaders across the world and this is also one of them however, the patriotism hidden in these words of Queen Elizabeth I, were sufficient to create a victory which made Britain a superpower for centuries. The speech was primarily targeted towards the soldiers who were ready to meet the Spanish armada and the sole purpose of the speech was to tell the soldiers how important was ...

Swift’s A Modest Proposal is a successful piece of writing which addresses the problem of poverty in Ireland at the time. The use of satire is entirely appropriate and effective, and the piece is still popular centuries after it was written. Swift’s use of rhetoric successfully evokes in the reader a sense of outrage at the speaker and a sympathy towards the Irish.
On reading A Modest Proposal, the reader realises it isn’t a straight forward essay by the second paragraph in which he speaks of making small children useful members of society (Swift, 1729). However, it is only ...

I believe that today people interpret the right for free speech too freely and in fact forget the purpose with which it was adopted. And it is really sad, as I understand that if this right was treated properly, people would have had an opportunity to freely express their mind without the necessity to be reminded of minding their speech. Unfortunately, today it is practically impossible to reach such a situation and I will try to explain why below.
In my point of view, people of our modern society often get too obsessed over simple things. For instance, democratic ...

1. Do you think Obama’s use of nonverbal communication in his address was effective? Why or why not?
President Barack Obama’s use of nonverbal communication in his inaugural address was a very effective tool in his speech. The choice of words is indeed very essential but more so in a book where the reader is at all liberty to read and understand the material at his pace. When it comes to addressing an audience especially a large one, nonverbal communication is what helps to retain the interest of the audience. Obama’s speech contained an excellent control over the ...

Transitioning Mary McClain from high school to college needs to include discussions with the staff at the college so that the staff is familiar with Mary and her assistive technology (AT) needs to be successful at college.

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their movements and actions are telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information available to the observer by which he is making his analysis. These channels of the body are what provide the information ...

In 399 BC, one of the greatest ancient thinkers, Socrates, faced the trial upon the accusations of his corrupting influence on the Athenian youth, rejection of gods recognized by the Athenian state and invention of new gods. In the course of the trial, the philosopher was given an opportunity to defend himself, and his speech interpreted by Plato under the title Apology has survived until nowadays as a prominent example of rhetoric and argumentation. Socrates moves from explanations of his actions to critique of the values and misconceptions of his accusers (particularly, Meletus). Although one would expect a person ...

At what age can people differentiate sounds based on phonetic category even when such distinctions are not present in their native language? At what age does speech perception become modified?

Werker and Tees conduct experiments to determine at what age people stop differentiating sounds of different phonetic categories without the influence of their native languages. Different researchers have shown that infants can differentiate a set of phonetic sounds (Werker and Tees 49). Their ability to do this is said to reduce when they are exposed to certain linguistic experiences. It is different for adults; they perceive only the sounds that ...

Inference concerns a logical conclusion based on evidence. One arrives at inference after consideration of the face value of the evidence. This clearly indicates that inference is not the result of systematic analysis nor is it the result of testing of evidence. Therefore, in order to note an inference one should achieve a conclusion based on evidence obtained concerning the aspect under concern.

One of the most ubiquitous and seemingly inspirational term in the American society is none other than diversity, whose true meaning is difficult to be elucidate. The authors of this article conduct exhaustive interviews in four metropolitan localities for understanding the widespread conceptions held about diversity. Despite a majority of Americans responding in a positive manner initially, the interviews disclosed that their actual considerations are emergent and quite conflicting. The study shed light upon the strains existing amidst the conceptions and convoluted certainties of the various discrepancies of the social life, along with also highlighting the challenge of maintaining ...

Abstract
This is a review of the study “Statistical Learning in Children with Specific Language Impairment” by Julia L. Evans, Jenny R. Saffran, and Kathryn Robe-Torres. The study examines children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) upon following key factors; understanding of speech and sound; amount of exposure to sound; whether it is specific to a particular topic or general; and effects of vocabulary. The study employed practical observation using different sound records to determine the above mentioned factors in children with SLI of different age groups, and children without SLI ...

Introduction

Martin Luther King gave great speeches in the 1960’s in America at a time of anti-discrimination on racial lines towards blacks, Asians and Hispanics. The famous speech I have a dream was given in 1963 at a time when there was great turbulence due to racial discrimination. He gave the speech to an audience of all races with majority of black and white people.

His speech I have a dream begins with a note of high positivism. It causes the crowd of people to be motivated about the changes that can happen in the future and not focus on the current happenings. He ...

In the YouTube video on the Science of Persuasion, six short-cuts to decision-making are described. The six short-cuts are 1) reciprocity, 2) scarcity, 3) authority, 4) consistency, 5) liking, and 6) consensus. I have selected scarcity and consensus as the two short-cut methods of persuasion to discuss in further detail. Scarcity and consensus are a powerful factors in how influential they are in the selling process.
Scarcity, which creates a type of desperation in the need to acquire “said material” makes the product being sold extra desirable. People are afraid to miss out on an opportunity to own or ...

Introduction

The article investigates the phenomena of Pragmatic Fossilization about the non-native speakers of English. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of pragmatic markers in speech of native and non-natives speakers of English. The study assessed these in children and adult of both the study groups.

Summary

The phenomenon of “Pragmatic Fossilization” happens in the non-native speakers of English during their learning process. It is defined as the “phenomena by which a non-native speaker systematically uses certain forms inappropriately at the pragmatic level of communication”. Put in simple terms, it is persistence of formal errors by the non-native ...

The Court held that words are not protected by the First Amendment when they are used in a way that bring about substantive evils to which Congress has a right to prevent. This clear and present danger test was subsequently used in Abrams v. US 250 U.S. 616 (1919) and Gitlow v New York, 268 U.S. 652 (1925). In Abrams, the Court upheld the conviction of the defendants on the grounds of clear and ...

Henceforth is my reflection on how the course affected my knowledge in writing; hence, proving that the goals and objectives – the course outcomes - of English 131 are fulfilled in me. Taking the course has, indeed, improved my writing style by making me more conscious and aware of my mistakes in writing. In order to showcase this improvement, I would be using my four previous writings: Arabic Spring, Liminals: Rhetorical Analysis, the annotated bibliographies submitted on 10 May 2014, and Analyzing Star Trek.
One of the most important lessons that I have learned from taking English 131 is ...

Art, Censorship, and the First Amendment: Response

In “Art, Censorship, and the First Amendment,” Robert Storr argues that the First Amendment, which guarantees the freedom of the press, prohibits the censorship of all forms of art. Storr posits that the American Constitution forbids the Congress from drafting laws that infringe on the freedom of the press as well as speech. He also maintains that Americans should not tolerate such ideas, and they should struggle to protect their freedom of free speech. Individuals should enjoy the freedom to express themselves and say whatever they feel like because of the unconditional liberty to do so (Storr 12). Nevertheless, ...

Metaphors effectively convey the message about intertexuality because a reader’s understanding of the context of the words used by the writer produces the overall meaning of a written work. When the writers use metaphors, the readers are able to get the message because these words represent bits and pieces of experiences which the reader already has a knowledge of. The meaning of a text becomes fuller because of the reader’s previous knowledge. The metaphors, therefore, facilitate a greater understanding about the texts and enables the reader to enter into a discourse community. In the discussion of intertexuality, James E. Porter, through his essay ...

Complex societies like Canada had a variety of challenges in terms of race, gender, and class imbalance. Razack, 1990 explains the various paradigms that determine each factor in the course of action. This review draws from a variety of major theoretical orientations that define the art of true activism. Race being vital in this outlook determines a complete set of nuances rather than other values like societies, gender, and class. These elements provide major inequities of all times. There is a critical interlocking between the major activities and the ...

In the 1960s the situation in the USA is characterized by a whole lot of political movements. Many movements supported and nurtured each other, literally building on each other. The civil rights movement, the student movement, the anti-war movement, the movement for women's rights, for the rights of sexual minorities, the green movement, the movement of American Indians, Mexican Americans, and others. These movements were sometimes simultaneously, sometimes at different time. Participating in one of these movements for American citizens was like participating in all at once. One of the central roles in all these movements is played by free ...

Although some critics despised melodrama for its emotional exaggeration, it is undeniably true that both classic culture and popular culture have somehow applied the characteristics of melodrama as emotional rhetoric. The purpose of this paper is to establish empathy between the emotions of the visual image and the audience. Moreover, another purpose is to serve as either authority or the artist’s livelihood. For example, the religious art during medieval times sought to make people cry over the suffering of Jesus with the elements of horror and pity while the religious art during the Renaissance sought to deliver a ...

In this respect, it can be ...

I believe that Martin Luther King’s speeches are more convincing because his use of logic appeals to a wider audience. He also makes convincing arguments that appeal to the emotions and logic of everyone not only those that are religious. Malcolm X’s speeches also convince the audience effectively but use far more confusing logos and many more emotive words. Martin Luther King seems to be able to make arguments more succinctly.
Malcolm X is a well known black preacher and activist and makes strong moral arguments in his speech. He has a vested interest in changing things due to his ...

- Does Pericles claim that Athens is a generous city?
Pericles claimed that the city of Athens held an outstanding record for generosity, with a firm belief in practicing philanthropy. The Athenians believed in a friendship in which favors are granted rather than accepted. The person at the giving end was the one who was more loyal than the one at the receiving end. The favors were steadily bestowed upon in a way that the recipient got indebted to a state where the return of a favor in form of a gift seemed nothing more than a mere repayment. The donor neither considered the value of ...

As the French were undoubtedly part of the Allied forces fighting against the Russian invasion of the Ottoman Empire, their perspective ...

The article is a discourse on criminal justice, assessing the role of the bourgeois intellectuals who have in time over assigned contradicting explanations to criminal justice and prescribed prejudiced proposals on the role and extent of punishment of petty offenders. The paper covers the role of the political economy in influencing the views of these intellectuals, and the interplay between politics and the world view of these realists. It also looks at the investment made in criminal justice and the role of law enforcement in protecting the middle class from crimes and victimization resulting from such inter-class prejudice.
