Theodore Roosevelt

In the "Man with the Muckrake", Roosevelt appeals to the journalists of withdrawing themselves from the position of a muckraker by connecting the action of publicizing a false image about someone to stealing. Roosevelt's use of diction conveys the immoral act the muckrakers are committing collectively. "The eighth commandment reads, 'Thou shalt not steal.' It does not read, 'Thou shalt not steal from the rich man.' It does not read, 'Thou shalt not steal from the poor man.' It reads simply and…

In 1910, the 26th president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt gave his speech Citizenship In A Republic to the University of Sorbonne in Paris, France (Ziegler). At the time, he went on a tour in Europe to deliver his Nobel peace prize speech and put forward the doctrine of new nationalism. France, however, had just had a flood and was suffering through devastation it had left. That is where the kairos come in. The purpose of the speech was to spread his belief that success of a nation…

1. Battle of San Juan Hill • The Battle of San Juan Hill is issued on July 1, 1898. It is one of the biggest battle ever to be known. This took place in Cuba, where Lt. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt leads his “Rough Riders” to San Juan Heights to help fire weapons and end the Spanish American War. Cuba is then freed and the U.S. rewards Puerto Rico and Guam. This incident made my top number one event because I feel that our kids will take hold of an idea about Latin America’s history and understand…

The country then turn to Franklin Roosevelt for relief to the Great Depression. President Roosevelt was remembered for making the Great Depression easier to bear by creating a series of New Deal.

Roosevelt. The situation during his presidency was somewhat different, though. This was not a time of economic growth for anyone in the United States. This was a time of unprecedented economic depression. When Roosevelt was elected in 1932, one out of every four Americans was unemployed (Tindall and Shi, p. 1100). He was burdened with the responsibility of…

105 years ago President Theodore Roosevelt spoke at the Sorbonne in the Grand Amphitheater at the University of Paris (Leadership Now - Leading Blog), the most studied center of learning in the country of Europe. Here he emphasized his belief that success rests on the quality of work and character a person is willing to apply to a problem or situation. What I would consider to be the most well-known component of this speech, expresses the standard by which Roosevelt judged himself and others.…

The United States was trying to accomplish something that would change the world of travel. What they were trying to achieve had been attempted in 1880 by France, but they failed due to various circumstances like diseases and bankruptcy. However, the U.S. was determined to create this innovating canal that would cut through Panama. This canal would connect the Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, making traveling much quicker. This would also make trading with Asia become a lot more accessible,…

For the past two decades, we have had presidents who have fallen miserably in the same status quo, following the same guidelines from presidents of previous elections. This is where Bernie Sanders steps in to show his uniqueness and to change the tide in the presidential election of 2016. This unique candidate is the type of person who will approach issues in a different manner. He has stayed devoted to many of his own aspects that other presidents or candidates have not throughout their…

America swiftly increased its industrial power becoming self- sufficient; thus, the idea of the progressivism movement was formulated by widespread activism, who was concerned and rose the question of political leaders, culture, and economy of the United States. American citizens relied on the “government to perform the securing of external defense, the maintenance of internal order, and the provision of an honest currency but none transpired.” (Johnson, 2007, Pg. 557) Did the progressive…
