Throughout this class, we have learned about every aspect of nonprofits and how they operate. This includes the day-to-day operations as well as how they forecast and plan for the future. What is interesting about nonprofits is that they show up anywhere and everywhere. In the case of this paper, nonprofits are involved in the political atmosphere, helping particular candidates fund their campaigns for presidency. As of fairly recently, they have played an extremely important role in our society…

Senator John McCain was on a tour in Vietnam when he was captured and taken by the North Vietnamese for nearly 5 ½ years as a prisoner of war (John McCain, 2008). John McCain was one of the many prisoners of war at the time but his story is brutal like many others, to this day he still suffers the effects of what was done to him physically and mentally. John McCain was not a terrorist just a soldier who was doing his job, but that didn’t matter to the North Vietnamese. Repeatedly as McCain has…

John McCain the senior senator from Arizona was one of the leading proponents supporting campaign finance reform. However, not everyone else in Washington agreed with him. He began to see how murky the waters of politics were becoming with the influence of money in the process of elections. McCain got together with Ross Feingold and drafted the McCain-Feingold Act to try to curb the corruption that was beginning to turn Washington into a free for all. Prior to this act politics and the influx of…

Election Day: the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Every four years, Americans may develop some fear for who the next President of the United States may be. Politicians tend to lie about what they plan to do just, so they can attract voters and become elected. Hopefully some Americans have faith in the President for accomplishing their goals. For instance, George W. Bush and President Barack Obama in both their first term elections, claim that they would improve America with…

This Ad was a Ted Cruz that aired in my home state of PA during the primaries. The Ad begins by claiming that President Obama was “A failure” and that Hillary Clinton is could be “worse”, It continues by introducing Ted Cruz as the right man for the job. Then come the campaign promises. Cruz claims that he will “Repeal Obamacare”, Grow jobs, and Destroy ISIS, then it transfers to the campaign slogan “jobs, freedom, security Ted Cruz”. The Cruz ad doesn’t take a shot at his Republican opponents…

Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy were both candidates and presidents at incredibly pivotal time periods in history. As such they faced a wide range of rhetorical obstacles during their candidacy and time as presidents. A rhetorical obstacle is some outside force that can limit a rhetors’ main purpose or goal. A shared obstacle faced by both candidates was that of identity. Identity becomes an obstacle when a rhetors’ audience does not share “common goals/background, beliefs, values, etc.” (1)…

that art was meant to send a message not just to people in the present, but to the children of the future. Whether it be political propaganda to give an idea of an ancient civilization’s culture or to show a fellow hunter how to ensnare an animal for food, art, whether it be through images or groups of symbols named words, was made to help man and civilization survive. Human beings cannot see into the future, it’s a thick black void that cannot be unveiled until it is already too late. The…

Bright, dramatic, and to the point, Meet the Press is meant to touch on important political happenings in a balanced perspective; it instead falls short. Meet the Press gives the idea it is offering a fair platform to the presidential candidates by inviting individuals to debate and discuss. Unfortunately the topics chosen were one sided and there was an extreme neglect to remotely include third party presidential candidates. Also the inclusion of Saturday Night Live’s skits before each…

Polls express citizens’ public opinion that government pays attention and mobilize their campaigns around these opinions.

In the following, Barack Obama´s victory speech, which was held in November 2012 after being re-elected as President of the United States of America, will be analysed. Generally, one can say that Obama sends a message of shared values and hopes by using rhetorical devices and structuring his line of arguments in a way that establishes a connection and a feeling of togetherness and involvement in his actions in the audience, for example by the usage of pronouns like “we”. Now, a closer look will…
