Rhetorical Analysis of FDR’s “First Inaugural Address” In a time of great fear, especially from a depression that had gripped the nation, many people were not sure where their next meal would come from, or even when it would come. Most of the Nation had lost a lot of trust in their governments’ abilities to lead and care for them, and were very hesitant to trust new leadership. It was in these conditions that a new leader was found, one that would lead the United Sates through its’ greatest test.
Presidents use rhetoric to persuade U.S. security and advance national interests. Former President Bush used increasingly strong language after the September 11, 2001 attacks to create a war-like aporia. And that Former President Bush’s rhetoric set the limits of discursive definition that created the parameters of thought regarding the issue of terrorism. Whereby, using venture constitutionalism to promote U.S. security and to advance national interests. Jeffrey Tulis (1996) makes claim that Former President Woodrow Wilson transformed the presidency and the government by advocating an executive that governed by persuasion and popular leadership.
Red Scare panic and hysteria began in 1919-1920’s after WWI. Thanks to the Red Scare, the American public became paranoid and suspicious of everyone from Communist Russian. In some cases, neighbors would report neighbors as being Communist spies just because they did not like their neighbor. The modern day terrorism The anti-Muslim panic and hysteria arose after terrorists came to the United States as normal immigrants and used the American education system to train themselves to be aircraft pilots and got support money from those already in the United Sates began with the attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon. Both are the reactions of the American public to acts of war.
Throughout this article, President Donald Trump and the Republicans support the ban for the eastern Muslim refugees and non-United States citizens’ multiple visas. The author, Ismail Einashe, influences the reader to believe the ban is cruel and appeals to the readers’ emotions in the article, “For Dual Nationals, Trump’s Muslim Ban Is a Curse”. The statement, “The Trump ban has unfairly targeted people like me”, is a liberal bias because it makes you feel and believe the information before the writer states the evidence or support. Ismail comments that he was also born in Somalia and feels threatened by Trump’s ban. Ismail also includes his own personal bias, so this is another area where the writer has persuaded the reader to believe the
This shows how manipulative Trump is, and that he will do anything to get his way. Even if it means exploiting other races and using serious subjects to scare people into voting for him. Unfortunately for us this worked out very well and many fearful americans joined his following for change. Ironically it is his decisions now that he is in office that are making people feel unsafe. President Trump and Kim Jong Un have been exchanging threats of conflict for a while now.
Fear is an embedded gene that all living things possess. Fear, for many societal, has becomes the stepping stone to lay the pathway for each generation. Both attacks on Americans were unexpected and uncalled for. A collection of a few men took control of an entire country and everything that it was found on. Fear and hatred by a few of a multitude drove mass suspicion and paranoia across a nation.

People assume that because someone is Islam or Muslim that they must be a terrorist, and they become weary of them to protect themselves. These situations demonstrate how permitting self-preservation to lead to hysteria causes destruction and hurt throughout the community. If not fixed, these situations will lead the destruction of the world. The theme of hysteria and self-preservation is evident throughout The Crucible and in real life.
When George W. Bush delivered his “Freedom at War with Fear” speech at the Congress on Sept 20th, 2001, America has just suffered from the single deadliest terrorist attack on US soil. Apart from the intention of establishing himself as a capable leader in times of crisis, Bush’s speech dealt primarily with how terrorism has trampled the very core of American values and how America should respond accordingly. Knowing that Americans were already raged about being attacked on their homeland (“our grief has turned to anger”) and the fact that many demanded actions (“and anger to resolution”), Bush’s general purposes was “strengthening commitment”; more specifically, to strengthen citizens’ and congressmen’s commitment to a long-term war on terror “until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated”. Throughout his speech, Bush extensively used common knowledge – universal beliefs and values shared by people of different cultural and religious background1 – to support his argument. He mentioned freedom, a value held highly by most Americans, thirteen times during the speech.
This course of action similarly enhances tension between idealistic Muslims who continue to stay devoted to their religion, and hence find a means to project that through radicalized courses of actions. The product of conflict is danger to entirety of the group involved, and hence it is best to find sympathy and solidarity between the oppressed and
As claimed by Dr. Martin Luther King, hatred, prejudice, and violence are mainly provoked by the idea of fear. The substantial reason of agreement towards this is obvious. The human by nature reacts negatively towards anything in their life that causes mental or physical harm. This quote is relevant to several key historical figures and events throughout world history, and still could and probably will apply in the future. Depression, tyranny, and hypocrisy are all major downfalls from our past as a community and as individuals.
In the past few years, the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq, more commonly known as ISIS, has been slowly creeping into the minds of the public, whether it be on social media or on the news. The notorious terrorist group calls itself an Islamic Caliphate and, as time passes, gains greater control of the Middle East. Bombings, beheadings, and massacres have built up the Islamic State’s notorious reputation. With every public execution, growing numbers of people start to associate all Muslims with extremist groups such as ISIS. While the Islamic State bases its principles on core Islamic values, its harsh and unorthodox interpretation of the Qur’an as a political system rather than as theological basis for daily life not only misrepresents conventional
Islamophobia in America On September 11th 2001 the World Trade Centers fell and the world was never the same. Americans were in shock and with the help of the media word spread like wildfire that the suspects were radical muslim terrorists. In no time Americans had a common enemy and chaos ensued. Muslims nationwide become targets of violent hate crimes and discrimination.
ISIS is a scourge upon the earth that must be dealt with, the world has sat idle for too long. In order to ensure a future for our children, ISIS must be stopped. The threat posed by ISIS is neither abstract nor confined to Iraq. Recently ISIS has grown more threatening, they have attacked paris, destroyed cities in the middle east, and sending threats to all major civilizations. Obama has been caught flat-footed by the rapid advance of ISIS extremists and is scrambling to reconcile conflicting objectives.
CNN states that, “A Duke University study found more terrorism suspects and perpetrators were brought to the attention of law enforcement by members of the Muslim-American community than were discovered through U.S. government investigations. And a Pew survey found that roughly half of U.S. Muslims say their religious leaders aren 't speaking out enough against Islamic extremism” (Yan). Many Americans have the misconception that most Muslims are bad and want to harm those who don’t believe in what they believe in. These facts from the surveys and studies would ease Americans’ minds by showing that the Muslim faith is trying to speak out against these attacks. This would show the good that Muslims are doing and will continue to do in the
