“Make America Great Again” is Trumps campaign logo. It is very powerful and is what everyone in this nation wants. We want to be great again. So I think it covers all five characteristics of images including synthetic, believable, vivid and concrete, simplified, and ambiguous. Trump constructed this logo to serve as a purpose. It serves to get people’s attention as well as get them on board with him. This logo also presents a powerful mental picture that is believable. America can be great again with some changes that Trump can make. This logo represents relief to our nation. It is something that we all want. I don’t think that this logo can get anymore simpler, it is straight to the point, “Make America Great Again”.

Very successful and had evaluation reports thousands of reports saying how great the university was. He exhibits denial saying it is political thing, judge who is unfair. He appeals to central processing dimensions, he provides evidence of why the judge it being unfair. (The case should have been closed since the person suing was dismissed and had evidence that she thought the school was great) He thinks the judge is upset because his is of the Mexican culture and Trump wants to build a wall so in return he is treating Trump unfair. It is almost like he is punishing Trump for who is and what he stands for. Trump has writing of those and tapes of many attendants of his University that explain how good the school is. Trump even has proof that the person who is suing says good and beautiful things about the University. Once this evidence was presented the person suing was dismissed by judge and Trump says he should have dismissed the whole case so it is unfair. Since the person who was suing had been dismissed there was no point in having the case. Trump said he could have settled the case but chose not too because it was the precedent, basically he knows he is right. So this proof that Trump was doing nothing wrong and will fight to prove what he knows is right. This shows his good character to the audience and proves that he would not just flaunt and spend his money to get out of

    The case mentioned is about Chick-Fil-A CEO, Dan T. Cathy, and his statements made about the definition of marriage. I do believe this was a bad decision by him as a leader. In today's world, you are typically guilty by association. Therefore, by the leader of the Chick-Fil-A making the statements about marriage, it looks bad across all sectors of Chick Fil-A. I understand he was using his rights of free speech, but he should have been more careful with what he was voicing to the public.…

    Slogans are a type of vague sentence or statement that are typically used to convey a opinion or a goal. Due to the vagueness, they are not meant to be meaningless, rather they are typically easy to agree with but can later be found to be objectionable. Take for example Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, we could replace the word "great" with "guess" and we would have a more accurate statement.…

    The Lost Cause was a southern ideology that was created after The Union Army defeated the South in the Civil War. During Reconstruction in 1877, the establishment of ladies' memorial associations created Confederate cemeteries, and introduced the first Confederate monument, while the Lost Cause later became more focused on the military aspect rather than the original idea of honoring those that fought (Cox, 2008) Also, there controversy surrounding the “Lost Cause” mentality because Southerners maintained that the war was about the rights of states and fighting against the control of the federal government, not slavery, furthermore Southerners felt defeated after the war and knew that they had been outnumbered, had less, weapons, and less technology (Cox, 2008).

    In his article “Lost in America,” Douglas McGray focuses heavily on the problem of isolationism and a lack of worldwide perspectives in the U.S. education system in order to prove that changes in the education of young Americans must be made. “Lost in America” was issued by Foreign Policy magazine in 2006, which reveals that McGray’s audience includes American legislators involved in the elaboration of American curriculum policies. In order to support his argument for this audience of policy makers and legislators, McGray builds credibility through the use of anecdotes that surprise and shock his audience, hyperboles to overemphasize his points, and a well-elaborated call to action to encourage his intended audience. McGray effectively employs…

    Elements of pathos in this image include the use of large text, irony and a color scheme that any American would recognize and associate with. The color scheme and the image of the world in a pair of hands plays a major role in the effectiveness of the visual argument. The image with the world in a pair of hands makes the audience feel a sense of obligation to partake in the abolition of modern slavery. The use of the text “Land of the Free...and the Home of the Slaves” is a play on words. Furthermore, the use of the American flag in the center of the world that is in black and white labels America as the protector of the earth but we are not in fact doing our job. Finally, the distinct blue line along with the white and red text brings a sense of patriotism.…

    This is America “This is America, speak English.” It is sad to say that I am not the only person who has had this said to them. It has been more than once that I have had concerned American citizens interrupt my Spanish conversations with my mother or friends just to tell me to speak English. I never get furious at comments like those. Although they are upsetting, I would never think of lashing out and being rude back.…

    The slogan that propelled Donald Trump into his influence across the nation, “make America great again,” shows that Trump sees America has fallen downhill and has hopes to improve it. Trump wants to see this country go back to the prosperous country it once was, but he does not know how to filter his words according to most, which makes him seem frightening. Despite Clinton’s accusation about the risk of Donald Trump, his clever use of scare tactics gives voters a sense of security because of his ideas concerning immigration and terrorism. According to Molly Ball, author of “Donald Trump and the Politics of Fear,” Donald Trump uses fear to his advantage in hopes of winning the presidential election.…

    “Make America Great Again.” That is the slogan a man ran on as he somehow captured the attention and the vote of millions of American citizens. That false hope convinced the country that somehow the progression the country had made in the past eight years was not great and that we had to “take back America.” Through all the debates, interviews, conventions and campaign rallies this slogan reached so many and no one thought to ever question it. No one ever thought to ever ask the question of not how he planned to make America great again, but rather who he planned to make it great for again.…
