Essays on Speech

Introduction

In times of civil strife, leaders of nations, of religious groups, or military forces have addressed the public in such authoritative way through their powerful speeches. In some remarkable cases, their words served as catalysts to action and a result of it; reform (Crespo 2007). My research will be based on specific rhetoric devices used in wartime speeches, and one speech from the Pope.
This research topic is very significant in that it tries to bring out clearly the role of the war speeches; how they have been used in the past and the resultant reactions that followed. In

In Act IV, Scene III, on October 25, 1415, at the Battle of Agincourt, the English were enormously outnumbered by the French. King Henry V delivered a motivating and inspiring speech to his frightened soldiers. The war happened on October 25 that was a St. Crispin’s Day and King Henry’s speech became famous St. Crispin’s speech. His speech contrasts powerfully in its dignity and virility with the bragging frivolousness of the French nobility.
King Henry says that they should be happy that there are going to be honored for their participation in the battle. He further

In his relationship with Socrates, has Alcibiades been made into a true lover; that is, is Alcibiades now a philosopher. To answer this, love must be defined philosophically or otherwise.
Socrates, in his speech, says that love is a feeling for some object. Love is a desire for an object. Eros is the Greek god of love. The Roman god of love is called Cupid. In his speech, Cupid says that love is a feeling for beautiful things. Socrates philosophically says ‘love’ is not good or beautiful’. He goes on and says that if it were the contrary, then

Non-verbal communication is usually used in order to express power as well as status. It is also used in order to convey a wide variety of emotions and feelings such as love, anger, and compassion. It is an on-going process in the human person and is part of every human endeavor. True enough, nonverbal communication enhances verbal communication in any case of human interaction. Through gestures of the hands and the head, a single statement become the most striking in any speech or confrontation.

The First Amendment is perhaps the most well-known among Americans. It guarantees us all the right to free speech. It also guarantees that nobody, state official or otherwise, will stand in the way of our freedom of press, as stated by Thomas J. Curry in his book “The First Freedoms: Church and State in America and the Passage of the First Amendment” (2005). It can be argued that Nancy Jamison was exercising both of her rights protected under the First Amendment of the United States on the night that she posted these terrorist threats (2005). To prosecute her for

Free speech codes and harassment policies happen to be adopted by many Oughout. Colleges and universities so that they can stop racist, sexist, or other kinds of offensive language. The rationale is that racial along with other offensive slurs are chaotic verbal assaults that restrict students’ rights. Many city liberties activists, students, higher education faculty, and administrators fear that such codes violate Primary Amendment rights. Who decides what exactly offensive language is and what exactly is not? Should “hate speech”possibly be protected, or can it result in violence? Are there limits to free speech only greater good and

These two speeches are the most memorable speeches given. They might seem different but as I read through the two speeches they sounded similar, despite the fact that they were given two thousand years apart. The similarities are featured in length, content and in the situations whereby the two speeches are given. In Pericles' speech appreciation of the ancestors, the people who died for the country, the survivors, and their families served as the purpose for his speech. The speech also reminded the readers and the listeners of the benefits of having democracy as well as the goodness of

In George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, Eliza Doolittle is initially nothing but a poor girl selling flowers on the street. Due to her incidental presence of Higgins and his bravado in discussing his abilities with Colonel Pickering, Eliza is swept up into a world that she would have been unable to touch without the help of Henry Higgins. Eliza speaks with a Cockney accent, making her incapable of breaking into the more refined world that she dreams of; Higgins takes her in and transforms her into a completely different woman. The transformation is that Eliza goes through not on

When I was in high school, I attended a conference on environmental sustainability with renowned activists and speakers from all over the world. While walking over to the room where Jane Goodall, my most revered personal idol, was to speak, I saw her and her manager out of the corner of my eye, walking towards me. I was already secretly hoping to meet her because I am a big fan of her work and inspirational message of peace and what I received on that fateful day, was unimaginably better than what I had ever dreamed of.
Upon crossing paths

The constitution remains emphatic on the need of freedom of speech in a democratic environment. Citizens need the right information to enable them perform their civic duty. The freedom of expression promotes individual self-realization and remains essential in the search for truth (Laraia, 2009). People’s freedom of speech enables them to participate in shaping the public affairs of a country. Failure to provide this right of freedom of speech a free society can fall in a retrogressive regime. Curtailing the freedom of speech can negate them the opportunity of making their contribution in the society.
Prior restraint suggests

It is approximated that more than 200000 people gathered at Washington on March 28 1963 at the Lincoln memorial. In this place, Martin Luther delivered an emotional speech I have dream which focused on the injustices of discrimination and segregation of African American in the society. By the use of the artificial proofs such as ethos, Lagos and pathos, he was in a position to tell people whose eyes were close by the color of the skin that all people are equal and color of the skin should not divide people (Bade 612). By use of these styles, he

Introduction

United States of America gained their independence from Great Britain in June 4 1776. This was a great accomplishment for the people of United States because now they could rule themselves. For most people they were happy but for the black people who were still slaves did not see this independence. This was still being experienced 75 years later after they had gained independence. Fredrick Douglass who was an abolitionist movement leader claimed this injustice on a speech he made at Rochester, New York in 1852 a day, which was after the Independence Day (Asante). In the speech, he

Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, I Have a Dream

Introduction;
The famous speech of Martin Luther King is widely known for its rhetorical appeals exploited by the speaker to grasp the attention of the audience and provoking their thoughts and feelings. In the referred speech Martin Luther King invested huge effort to stir the awakening urge under the political and social influence of the time in the year1963. Martine Luther King writes and spoke the speech himself. Thus, the focus on logos, pathos and ethos with the use of symbolism, imagery and diction was duly justified to cast a hold on the audience. In the context of referred

Rhetoric includes factors that must be taken into account at the moment of writing. While many people think of “rhetorical” as when someone “asked a question that they already knew the answer to”, that is just the common, vulgar usage of the word, which I shared. Nevertheless, this word implies many other aspects of effective writing that should be taken into account.
While reading through the Online Writing Lab—Purdue for Rhetorical Situations, I modified several things I thought I already knew or understood. For example, the site says that “rhetoric” can be used to imply a persuasive speech,

While searching for the proper presentation, I came across a TED video of social psychologist Emily Balcetis. There were a great variety of presentations to analyze, but I came up with the idea that it would be interesting to investigate the speech of a person who explores the perception of others. Her works focus mainly on the image that our mind creates according to our personal biases.
She sounds absolutely confident and presents herself as a truly knowledgeable and devoted specialist. Moreover, she gives her own examples which help to create personal atmosphere. With regards to this, she managed

The following delivery analysis is of a TED talk presented by Brene Brown, a researcher whose main focus has been on shame and vulnerability. In the talk she discusses the findings of the qualitative research she carried out on vulnerability. She found that although vulnerability is uncomfortable, it is absolutely necessary for human connection, creativity, joy, happiness, innovative thinking etc. and that the research participants she defined as ‘wholehearted,’ were far more accepting of feeling vulnerable than other participants who struggled with vulnerability. Her talk was engaging for a number of reasons which I will now discuss.
Brene initiated

Successful of a presentation is determined not only by its contents, but the way it is delivered, merely effective body language, facial expression and eye contact, as well as vocal strategies. The Victory Speech by Barack Obama that he made after winning elections in 2008 represents a fusion of all elements, crucial for the delivery of a quality speech. While giving the speech, Barack Obama maintains a balanced position. Sometimes allowing himself leaning forward while speaking, he avoids leaning on one foot that may be perceived as the lack of confidence or doubts. From the tempo of speaking and

The article chosen to analyze this assignment, “Castro Thanks U.S. in Speech But Reaffirms Communism” relates greatly to the course concepts in media and politics. This topic is newsworthy as it covers a topic that is of interest to the American public. The New York Times has been labeled as a “liberal” newspaper.
President Raul Castro is portrayed in the article as the victor in this highly contentious event. The political power narrative is framed by Castro who included favored guests, such as Elian Gonzalez (at the center of the battle of Cuban exiles and Havana in 2000) as

The study of Jonestown is one that is scary as well as intriguing. Learning about the movement of such a group of people to follow one person is extremely interesting and it is one that is never truly observed on this scale very often. This paper looks at the movie Jonestown as well as the theories which have been taught in class. I look to apply these theories to the movie over the next few pages. The psychological idea that will take most of my time is that of conformity, this idea is one that is obvious when discussing

United States v Williams, 553 U.S. 285 (2008)

A Secret Service agent engaged the defendant in an internet chat room after the latter posted a teasing message that hinted involvement of child pornography. The defendant also attached an uplink that showed children in sexually explicit poses. His house was searched revealing hard drives with images of children in sexually explicit conduct. He was charged with pandering under §2252(A)(a)(3)(B) and child pornography under §2252(A)(a)(5)(B) and convicted by the federal court, but the Court of Appeals reversed the conviction of the first crime

Speech critique
President’s Obama speech on immigration was translated on November 20th, 2014 and addressed extremely important issues which concern almost every single person living in America today. Even though the first part of it is rather informative, tells about immigration, provides statistics and announces actions which will be taken by the President in the nearest future, the whole speech is rather persuasive because it makes the audience change their attitude towards people from other countries who live in America and look at immigration problems through another perspective.
In the introductory part of his speech the speaker provides

Dear graduates, parents, faculties and friends, it gives me great pleasure to stand before you and deliver this commencement speech. Being a part of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, has been a privilege that I will not forget that easily.

During the course of my stay here, I have learnt a lot from my friends who are from different cultural and social backgrounds. It’s been a fascinating journey, and I’

Communication is the passage of information from a sender to a receiver in a manner that is coherent to both. For communication to be complete, the receiver must give a feedback showing acknowledgement and understanding of the information communicated. In human communications, language is an important aspect of passing information from one person to the other. This leads to development of the language game concept. Various theories have tried to explain the language game.
Language game is drawn from a philosophical view that the language use can be through the way it is simply used to portray an action

Thesis statement

Learning various languages expands the boundaries for people and provides the different opportunities to cross-cultural dialogue, business development and employment. About 60% of the World population speak more than one language. Acquiring correct and intellible pronunciation, according to general observation, is one of the hardest tasks for all language learners.
Most of the additional language learners develop an accent, that allows other people to distinguish non-native speaker and to make suggestions about her origin and native language. Presence of an accent commonly does not change intelligibility of the speech (perceived phonological constancy, Mulak et al., 2013), that is proved

The speech I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King given on August 28, 1963 is one of the best speeches of effectiveness. The speech is a good example of emphasizing expressions by restating at the start of the sentences. Martin’s speech as an effective communicator delivers the context with outstanding and crystal focus. He understands the audience by customizing the presentation to engross the audience into his speech. Communication cannot be considered effective till the audience is engaged. Martin was completely passionate about the subject he was addressing, and the audience knew the objective of his speech

INTRODUCTION

Hate speech is the free and unrestricted expression towards individuals based on their status in society, race, sex or physical appearance that is belligerent and dehumanizing to the victim and usually leads to their isolation from their immediate community. Hate speech takes many forms, but one thing that cuts across the board, is that it’s directed towards minority groups that have different characteristics to the dominant group and is fuelled by peer pressure (Gould 13). Institutions of higher learning have been plagued by numerous cases of hate speech which have led to violence and hatred among the students

“It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate”. Such was the opening assertion of the United States Supreme Court in deciding the landmark case of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, decided in 1969. What followed in the constitutional history of what came to be known as “school speech” involves a number of cases that have essentially followed Tinker’s holding, only modifying its nuances and contemplating the ever-changing concern of the state over the welfare of its students and their

Single subject research has always posed some significant challenges to researcher s and scientists working in the field of experimental psychology. The fact remains that unlike popular opinion, single subject research can have statistical validity and can provide the necessary tools to provide usable data during many experiments(Kratochwill, 1978). Horner et al., (2005) provided some useful insights on how to assess the quality of a single subject research

Do Women In The U.S. Still Strongly Struggle In Ascending To Leadership Regarding Corporate And Governmental Institutions?
Over the history of civilization, leadership still poses great challenges. Also, the concept of leadership sparks intense debates across the globe. The underrepresentation of women in influential positions of power has given rise to uncountable commissions, conferences, committees and awareness campaigns. The numerous centers of leadership set up seem to be tackling the problem. However, the solution remains to be a tall order to make. Studies conducted previously give frustrating facts on poor representation of women in leadership tasks. Legislation to remedy
