Jesus discusses the notion of being a city on a hill. In Winthrop 's speech he tells his shipmates that they will to be a “city on a hill”. Many major politicians have referenced the “city on a hill” speech such a former presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Kennedy’s speech and Reagan’s farewell address use Winthrop’s “City upon a Hill” speech differently. Kennedy uses the speech in a positive way because he is about to enter the office for his presidency and therefore he doesn’t know…

The early 1980s was a time of change and innovation throughout the United States. Technological advances and cultural changes allowed the average American to experience a new way of life, that they had never had the opportunity to experience before. During the 1980s many new inventions changed the world forever, including the personal computer and the Space Shuttle. During this time there were also many spectacular moments in sports history, including the miraculous U.S. hockey team from 1980…

In 1986, Reagan took violent action to win a battle in his war against terrorism. Reagan started serving his presidential term. The United States had been struggling with foreign nations, such as Libya, specifically relations with Muammar Gaddafi (El-Gadhafi, Quadaffi, Qadhafi). Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator first came to power in 1969. Over the past few decades, the United States tried to solve conflicts with Libya diplomatically (SOURCE). Once Reagan was elected, he tried to continue the…

“Ronald Reagan owned the first eight years of the 1980’s. He set the national agenda, defined most of the terms of the national dialogue, and dominated what passed for national political debate… he had more pervasive impact on the country than anyone since Franklin D. Roosevelt” (Reagan 1). So when Reagan began supporting the Contras during the Nicaraguan Civil War it was a major political topic. The civil war in Nicaragua became a personal mission for Reagan. Reagan saw the Contras as freedom…

For the comparative visual analysis of 1980s artwork assignment, I decided to investigate Gran Fury’s “Silence = Death” and “Women Don’t Get AIDS” looking at art and theatre’s social and political activism and its impact on society. The 1980s were very critical for the AIDS epidemic and there were constantly new discoveries. However, thousands of people were dying due to the lack of accurate information being presented to the public and the slow development of medicine was detrimental to finding…

It is the duty of the president to address the a nation in shock when disaster strikes. The president must explain the situation, express personal sorrow, and address how to fix the situation. It is imperative to do this as the president is the head of the country and the figure which citizens of the country base their own beliefs off of. One of the most effective tools presidents use when discussing disaster is an appeal to emotion, or in terms of Aristotle, pathos. After watching Reagan’s…

After a tragic loss for the United States of America, Thatcher reconciled the nation with her appeal to patriotism in a dire time, both politically and emotionally. At this time of great loss and tragedy following the death of a beloved president, Ronald Reagan, Thatcher used his accomplishments in life to reconcile those of the United States. Along with reconciling them, she indirectly urges, that we find our lost values that Reagan and the country possessed at the time of his presidency.…

In 1948, within NSC 10/2, George Kenna surmised that covert actions are “planned and conducted that any U.S. government responsibility for them is not evident to unauthorized persons and that if uncovered the U.S. Government can plausibly disclaim any responsibility for them” (Johnson 2007). This statement entrenched a high standard for future covert operations to strive to remain clandestine, which is a seemingly improbable feat to achieve. Indeed, most covert operations have the intention to…

Ronald Reagan's most famous address is undoubtedly the “Tear Down This Wall” speech. In his oration, Reagan used bias to support his argument. Reagan tailored his speech towards his intended audience. His audience was filled by Western Europeans who agreed with him and Eastern Europeans who did not. President Reagan included facts to support his position. First he said, quoting George Marshall, “Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger poverty, desperation…

the definition of post-truth clearly by referring to Ronald Reagan who is the 40th President of the United States “In 1986 Ronald Reagan insisted that his administration did not trade weapons for hostages with Iran, before having to admit a few months later that: “My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.” This is a good example of post-truth that shows how is used and who use. Ronald Reagan, the 40th President of the United States…
