In today’s society, women’s right to vote is indisputable, but in the late eighteen hundreds, it was the complete opposite. Susan Brownwell Anthony, a pioneer progresser of women’s suffrage, lead the National American Woman Suffrage Association. In her speech, On Women’s Right to Vote, Anthony advocates that women, who are also citizens, deserve to vote and not be punished for practicing a Constitutional right. She writes this speech to justify her reason for voting, and to persuade others to permit women to vote.…
She is the national symbol of dignity and strength, and the pioneer of civil rights. I would be honored to meet the honorable Rosa Parks who sparked a civil rights movement thus changing the lives of many. During her time, racial segregation was at its peak. The blacks did not have rights, moreover a black woman. It began with a bus seat.…
Voting Legislation President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s address to a Joint Session of Congress on Voting Legislation on March 15th 1965 sought to change the hearts and minds of it’s audiences by creating a connection between himself and all other Americans trough appealing to their patriotism, religious beliefs, and desire to become a greater nation. President Johnson’s Address persuades the audience to unanimously endorse his Voting Rights Act. His Address was given to Congress about a week after the events in Selma, Alabama that later became known as “Bloody Sunday” because of its violent nature. On March 7th ,1965 an estimated 525 to 600 civil rights activists marched southeast out of Selma, Alabama intending to reach Alabama’s state capital…
Susan B. Anthony was a suffragist and a pioneer for women’s rights. She was a founder of Daughters of Temperance, Women’s Loyal League and The National Women’s Suffrage Association. Anthony delivers a Stump Speech on voting rights in all 29 postal districts of Monroe County, New York in 1872, after being convicted of voting illegally in the 1872 presidential election. During her speech, she focuses on the equal voting rights for women at the ballot just as men have. The purpose of the speech was to gain more suffragist to her cause, in hopes of getting a law passed for women’s right to vote legally within the United States.…
In the stories Don’t Give Up The Fight and Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote have a common theme and that is Courage because they both have been brave enough to stand up for what is right. In Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote she had courage to stand up infront of many of people and wanted to state that woman can do anything that men can do. In Don’t Give Up The Fight Ava had courage to stand up in front the boys in her track team to show them that a girl is as powerful and talented as a boy can be. Even though the two stories both show courage, the characters both handle the problem a different way. In Susan B Anthony Dares to Vote spoke in front of the judge when she went to jail.…
Matt, Wow! These are certainly some elaborate ideas on what could be done to market Constitution Day, however, how many of these players would care? Do you not think that the person’s speech about Constitution Day would fall on deaf ears? If you were standing out there as one of those players, what were your thoughts be during this speech?…
In America, citizens are given the right to vote and elect officials into office. At the age of eighteen, young adults are allowed to register to vote and take part in elections. Not all citizens participate and decide to vote. When Americans decide to exclude themselves from voting, they initially are negatively impacting society. Thomas Patterson takes his stance on this when he wrote “The Vanishing Voter”.…
The Voting Rights Act relates to the 13th documentary in so many different ways. We are shown in this documentary all of the curl act that has been done recently to African Americans. By seeing different images of unfair treatment towards minorities and the thoughts that candidates of the 2016 presidential election have to say about minorities, shows why it is important for all people to vote. There has been a recent change in the voting rights for citizens who live in Southern states that have recently had historical discrimination against minorities. Voters were not informed of the requirements for voting as well as the changes that were made to the polling sites.…
My question is drawn from the Aristotle’s Rhetoric, Pages 1-15. The quote that inspired my question was, “In a political debate, the man who is forming a judgement is making a decision about his own vital interests.” This quote made me think about the people I know who have risen above themselves and who seek to help others. People who volunteer frequently, donate large percentages of their paychecks, and people who always hold the door open for others are the people who come to mind. Obviously, these people have their own self-interests as well, but they also spend a noticeable amount of their time helping others and looking out for our society as well.…
As stated by Silva Rhetoricae, +“Rhetoric is the study of effective speaking and writing (discourse), and the art of persuasion and many other things”. There are many types of rhetorical devices such as: pathos, logos, ethos, hyperbole, simile, repetition, and et cetera. Rhetoric is used to persuade, to motivate, and to call things to action. The Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage (text one) uses several rhetorical devices compared to “Chapter 14” from The Jungle (text two). The passage, What is Rhetoric?…
Sixteen year olds pay taxes, drive, and are allowed to drop out of school, so why can’t they vote also? Voting age in the United States is currently eighteen years old, although teenagers younger than that are still required to do many things that are controlled by how people vote on the ballots. I believe that the voting age should be lowered to sixteen years of age. If the voting age were lowered, it would allow schools to encourage voting, and even educate students about the process before they go to the polls.…
Voter Suppression is alleged to be a strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising the right to vote. In the past, intimidation has been a factor of voter suppression since the Jim Crow laws. The Republican National Committee came under fire in the early 1980s when it sponsored the creation of the group called National Ballot Security Task Force to patrol polling stations in every vote fraud. On 1920, the 19th amendment to the constitution was ratified, enfranchising all American women and declaring for the first time that they, like men, deserve all the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. Intimidation, violence, and racial discrimination in state voting laws, an amount of three…
Compulsory Voting Believe it or not, fifty-seven and a half percent of Americans voted in the 2012 presidential election. That is a little over half of all Americans that are eligible to vote; so many ask, what about the other half? The top three reasons people do not vote is because they are too busy and have a conflicting schedule, illness or disability, or simply because they lack interest. Voting is important, after all the end result is the leader of the United States or maybe even your local government. Compulsory voting, also known as mandatory voting, is a system in which voters are required to register to vote and to go to their polling place or vote on election day.…
