9/11 As The Neoconservative

Decent Essays
We all agree that 9/11 definitely brought out the more militaristic side of Bush Administration, as the Neoconservatives gained increasing influence within the White House national security apparatus, and their strategy of promoting and protecting democracy across the world, and defending American hegemony and American interests started to be realized. In this review of the literature, we have seen the major contributions of significant studies and articles to the study of American political discourse, Douglas Kellner, Kim Quarantello, Debra Merskin, Cezar M. Ornatowski and Charteris-Black Jonathan are just a few of them.

    This country has come a long way due to centralization. Centralization is “the process by which the activities of an organization, particularly those regarding planning and decision-making, become concentrated within a particular location or group, keeping all of the important decision-making powers within the head office or the center of the organization” (n.d., 2016). An example of using centralization in regards to emergency is used by many agencies. Many agencies first responders used centralization to effectively execute their mission.

    The incident that occurred on September 11, 2001 has proposed many theories and ideas to what exactly happened. The video we watched introduced many different theories of the people who studied the event in depth and of some people who actually endured and experienced the event first hand. The ethos in the video are the theories and credibility given to them produced by the Italian directors or the people who studied the attack and what they think actually caused certain things that occurred during the attack. The logos in the video are the facts or reasoning in reference to what actually happened and what can be proven instead of assumed or thought to have happened. The pathos given in the video are those feelings and emotions the directors and producers want or strive you to feel during or after watching the video and while seeing their theories as to why it happened it happened or why it did not happen.…

    President Bush entered office in 2001 tasked with continuing the articulation of Reagan conservatism, an effort begun by his father before him. An orthodox innovator, George W. Bush was tasked with perpetuating the principles of Reagan under different and extraordinary circumstances (Montagne, 2005). Conceived in the wake of arguably the biggest tragedy in American history, Bush wielded expanded executive power and thus possessed and an exceptional opportunity to increase the relevancy of the conservative regime. However, administration blunders such as the 2003 Iraq invasion, ostensible inaction in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and failure to circumvent the 2008 financial crisis ultimately inhibited the Bush administration’s ability to usher in a conservative reawakening. George W. Bush’s domestic agenda, foreign policy and penchant to turn to Reagan prescriptions in novel circumstances demonstrates his classification as a president engaged in the politics of articulation.…

    In the project, the ‘Self’/’Other’ dialectic is numerously applied in different formats to discriminate between ‘West’ or ‘Americans’ and ‘Others’. US presidential speeches played a key role in biasing mindsets of American public in regard to the events of post-9/11 era. The objective of this paper was to analyze three significant US presidential speeches through applying the theoretical frameworks of imagined communities, Orientalism and moral panic. I argued how the application of some key words such as ‘civilized nation’ or ‘America’ by Bush in his speeches represented the imagined community of American population, united on ‘war on terror’. In the framework of Orientalism, I pointed out how his statements about his war policy could fit into the Orientalism theory framework, where superior ‘west’ is facing inferior ‘orient’.…
