ReplyDeleteIn Hillary Clinton’s speech on Women's Rights at the U.N. 4th World Conference, 1995, Hillary Clinton repeats the following phrase: “It is a violation of human rights when…” Hillary uses this phrase to start off many of her sentences during the middle of this speech, this form of repetition being known as Anaphora. Her use of repetition here is to drive in the fact that there are so many forms of unjust being applied to women worldwide. Hillary uses this repetition to show that there are too many examples of women being violated. Not only that, but if we look past the phrase being repeated, we see many appeals to pathos in these sentences. An example is this line here: It is a violation of human rights when young girls are brutalized by the painful and degrading practice of genital mutilation.” This sentence appeals to pathos, seeing as how it would invoke the feeling of sympathy from the audience towards these people that Hillary talks about, seeing as Hillary Clinton uses the words “Young Girls” and “Brutalized.. Painful… Degrading…” in the same sentence. These words and Hillary’s repetition imply that women are suffering from violation of their rights, no matter their age, and women need these rights for America to achieve true freedom.
In her speech at the United Nations Conference, Beijing, 1995, Hillary Clinton the first lady of the United States of America, delivers an empathetic and knowledgeable oration in support of her argument of advocating for equal women’s rights across the world. She establishes her credibility when she uses the anecdotal recollections of traveling the world and the experiencing the perseverance of several women. She remarks, “I have met women in South Africa who helped lead the struggle to end the apartheid” and “I have met doctor is Belarus and Ukraine who are fighting to keep children alive”. Her anaphora of “I have met” as a first-hand experience serves the purpose of magnifying her ability to be empathetic. Not only does this phrase suggest her extensive research on the issue but also the time and effort she has devoted to observing women around the world. As a woman, she is witnessing other women overcome struggle and her reflection is powerful and impassioned and thus will make the audiences, particularly women, feel a sense of pride and respect. The women in the audience of the United Nations are not just from the United States and thus speaking about women from around the world instead of speaking about her country alone, makes the speech engaging and persuasive. She concludes her speech with the concept that all women face their own struggles on their own levels and that it is their struggles that unites them. A shared problem that she refers to as “our’s and the world’s” deserves “a call for action” and that we “must move beyond recognition” to bring about viable solutions for the prosperity of future generations to come.
ReplyDeleteThroughout hillary clinton's speech addressing the 4th world convention she uses the phrase “we are focusing world attention on issues that matter most in our lives -- the lives of women and their families”. By saying the “lives of women and their families” she makes what she is about to discuss relevant not just to the women of the world. By repeatedly saying this she drives the point that she is not just advocating for the rights of women and their families but all people. This also appeals to ethos because at one point in time most of americans have had a traditional family and could have seen a time when their mother or family member was being mistreated. This help hillarys point because it turns her one sided argument into something a more general population is able to understand and support. By using the specific phrase “issues that matter most” it implies that this is not just some quick on and done convention it is something that is going to be influcal for generations to come further supporting her cause and rallying people behind her. Overall her use of addressing a more general audience that just women through repetition helps further her argument and advocating for the rights of women around the world.
ReplyDeleteIn 1995 Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Beijing at the United National Conference where she talked about equal right for everyone. Clintons position as First Lady, was a position that represented knowledge and gained certain respect from some of the audience, as she was representing women and their lack of rights. In her speech Clinton begins by talking about human rights and how the treatment of women in this society go against these rights. She emphasises this when she repeated the words “It is a violation of human rights”. These words imply that the privileges created for all people, in many cases exclude women. She emphasises this when she used these words in sentences such as “It is a violation of human rights when a leading cause of death worldwide among women ages 14 to 44 is the violence they are subjected to in their own homes by their own relatives.” This bring to attention multiple thing, fist being the word choice “leading” which indicates the gravity of the situation, the importance of what she is saying, which in this case is the large number of people who are being affected by these lack of rights. In the quote she also uses the word “homes” and “relatives” this not only shared a certain setting and group, but insinuates that women are being hurt in a place they should feel comfortable and by people they should trust. Ultimately Clinton uses repetition to explain the issue of how women are not receiving equal rights, then uses the context of the words she repeated to imply the importance and magnitude of the situation and who’s affected.
ReplyDeleteOn December 5th, 1995 Hillary Clinton delivered a speech at the United Nations fourth world conference in Beijing, China. In her speech, she addresses the current suppression of women rights and deeply emphasizes the need and the impact of giving women rights on creating a successful future for all. Hilary repeatedly mentions the word “ freedom” in order to acknowledge that women who can’t participate in exercising their rights aren’t experiencing any power or the right to control their own life. She asserts “ Freedom means the right of people to assemble...it means respecting the views of those who may disagree… It means not taking citizens away from their loved ones and jailing them.” By using the word “ It means”at the beginning of each sentence Hilary establishes an anaphora that works by making the audience notice that by stripping away the human rights of women further disintegrates every aspect of freedom that women should get in this society. In this phrase, she also points out the larger definition of “ freedom” in order to push women and those who have the freedom to feel the need to go against those who continue to push women away from the shadow of freedom and rights. Therefore she is putting guilt into the eyes of those who continue to exclude women from these rights and that is pathos. She then moves onto the repetition of “ as long as “ to demonstrate how women are continuously being treated as not equal to men. The words "women are fed last, overworked, subjected to violence “ all create an emotional appeal of hurtful for the women because many are working their hardest to promote the future of the young ones and are receiving no rights as a return. As a woman, Hillary also develops ethos by developing a connection with all of the other women across the world who have dealt with these issues. Towards the end of the speech, she says “ We… build that common ground” in order to unify her audience to work together to give women the rights they deserve and ultimately create a better future for the United States.
ReplyDeleteIn her 1995 speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing China, first lady Hillary Clinton, repeats the words “human rights” grounded in vivid imagery and powerful diction to evoke a sense of shock into the audience and reveal that currently, women's rights are being violated and ignored. She evokes shock into her audience when she states, “It is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into the slavery of prostitution for human greed.” By associating the ideas of slavery and prostitution with greed, Clinton makes known that such acts are injustices, and are not being recognized as violations to women and their rights. She develops a disturbed tone, continuing to evoke feelings of shock and disgust through vivid imagery when she says, “It is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set on fire, and burned to death because their marriage dowries deemed too small.” The use of the word “death” and images of burning and ‘fire,” grounded within the repetition of “it is a violation of human rights,” exemplify the horrific ways in which women are treated for things as little as failing to please their husbands during marriage. Clinton reaffirms that these actions must be recognized, affirming that the recognition of women's rights as human rights is the only way to better the lives of all women and their families when she repeats, “Let it be that human rights are women's rights,” followed by, “if we want freedom and democracy to thrive and endure.” Thus, Clinton's repetition of “human rights,” grounded in powerful surrounding diction, horrific imagery, and aligned with democracy nearing the end of her speech, work to convey that such a path can only be achieved once women's rights are seen and applied as equal human rights.

ReplyDeleteIn September of 1995, First lady Hillary Clinton delivers a speech at the United Nations World Conference in Beijing. Clinton enforces Women's rights to be human rights and advocates for further action from her universal audience. To make this point clear, she utilizes repetition alongside establishing an appeal to Pathos. For instance, Clinton exemplifies the challenges women experience quite frequently across many countries. She contends, “They are watching their children succumb to malnutrition… They are being denied the right to school… They are being forced into prostitution”. In other words, women are treated with such deficient means, that they entirely counter those of men. By repeating the phrase “they are”, Clinton is able to emphasize the harsh measures women are put through in their daily lives. By highlighting these concepts, Clinton evokes a sense of sympathy from her audience that essentially drives her intent of further urge for Women’s rights. As she proceeds, Clinton uses further repetition when she heightens, “It is a violation of humans rights when women are doused with gasoline… It is a violation of humans rights when young girls are brutalized by the practice of gender mutilation…”. Through the repetition of “It is a violation of humans rights", Clinton stresses the invasion of human rights within women that consist of harm to the extreme extent of their physical state to greater emphasize the complications women undergo. This additionally establishes her appeal to Pathos as her audience gains pity for all women around the world. Through Clinton’s combination of repetition and demonstration of Pathos, she is able to illustrate the operation women are set to deal with. This essentially empowers the audience to gain compassion for women, thus developing advocating for a proper set of Women's rights universally.
ReplyDeleteOn September 5th 1995, Hillary Clinton delivered her speech on the issues of women’s rights at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on women at Beijing, China. In her speech, Clinton highlights that “women’s rights are human rights” and mentions how it was effectively violated due to the inequality and abuse women have experienced. Throughout her speech, Clinton establishes pathos when she includes repetition of the phrase “It is a violation of human rights when..” and is included in the text, “It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being sterilized against their will.” This repeated phrase emphasizes the different scenarios and examples that affected human rights for all women. In selecting the words “denied” and “forced” to describe the unjust and inequality women face in their lives, the writer communicates how they have no control over their life over serious situations they have to follow that are “against their will”. It also appeals to the audience with an emotion of feeling sympathetic as Clinton reveals the realities of pain and struggles and the unjust system women had to live under, allowing them to realize that it’s time to fight for women’s rights as everyone should have “human rights”. The repetition of the word “violation” implies that there is a continuation of scenarios where women and girls had been mistreated with their rights just because they’re women, which shouldn’t be the case. Ultimately, the use of repetition and appeals to pathos effectively draws attention to the audience as it persuades them to fight in achieving equality for women’s rights.
ReplyDeleteIn her speech in 1995, Women’s Rights are Human Rights, at the U.N. 4th World Conference on Women, Hillary Clinton shines light on the purpose and importance of women acknowledgement and women’s rights. The purpose of Clinton’s speech on women’s rights was to reveal the injustices brought on women throughout the world. Clinton delivered her message by repeating the words, “women”, “rights” and gave examples on women from different walks of life to develop a sense of of unity amongst the audience. These methods Clinton uses in her speech evokes the message that women should be treated with respect and valued because their rights are humans rights. In other words, these injustices women face is a united issue amongst all people. According to Clinton, “Women are most often the ones whose human rights are violated / If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, let it be that human rights are women's right and women's rights are humans rights once and for all.” (Clinton, 1995) Hillary Clinton creates a shared purpose between the audience and her message with the application of repetition with the words, human and women rights, and that all people (humans) should feel the need to support women’s rights because women are “mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders” and play a significant role in our community. Clinton being a women and using these examples of women in the community makes her relatable and credible to the audience. Clinton also states, “It is a violation of human rights when women…” (Clinton, 1995) Hillary Clinton repeats the phrase listed throughout the middle of the speech, “violation of human rights”, to narrow down the injustices occurring in society, following this phrase, Clinton includes the noun “women” to connect the previous idea of humans rights being women's rights. Clinton recognizes the separation between the two in society but unites them to prove her point that women’s rights are human rights. Repeating this in her speech defines what women’s rights actually are and they are the rights for all people because women are significant to the lives of everyone.
ReplyDeleteIn the 1990’s China was accused of Milpitas human rights violations, specifically against women. Former First Lady Hillary Clinton delivered a speech in 1995 at the United Nations conference addressing the issue of women’s rights throughout the world. She repeats the phrase “It is a violation of human rights when” in reference to the poor treatment of women. She states “it is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set on fire and burned to death” and “it is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into slavery.” This phrase is intended to evoke feelings of shock and outrage. The images paint a negative picture of the way in which women are treated throughout the world. She then shifts to associating “women’s rights” with “human rights” to establish a common purpose between herself and the audience. Clinton uses repetition to emphasize the horrible treatment toward women and call for universal change.
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton, Former First lady and politician delivers a speech at the Women Plenary Session at the Model U.N in 1995. Clinton allows repetition to establish the shameful tone throughout various examples of crisis that diminish the power of women to persuade her audience that women’s rights should be recognized.Clinton asserts “It is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into slavery of prostitution…. It is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline… are deemed too small.”(Clinton,1995) The word ‘violation’ implies mistreatment to an extreme level which communicates the tone of shame and discontent. Clinton selects multiple words that carry the same repetitive tone throughout her examples. By using such powerful diction and imagery Clinton is able to persuade her audience that women rights are not respected on various accounts. Clinton references “women are doused with gasoline”(Clinton,1995) the horrid image that Clinton paints allows the audience to have an emotional response to the argument and take on an biased. The word “doused” leaves a dramatic affect for the audience reinforcing the shameful feeling of disrespected women all around the globe. Clinton appeals to pathos on prolific amounts through her imagery and diction, she further embeds in her speech the phrase “my country”. By classifying the audience as women and referring to the country as hers she is able to connect all women as one. Clinton uses multiple methods of development to build repetitive feelings of shame for the damaged human rights that women are granted all around the globe. Clinton uses repetition to reinforce the feeling invoked upon the audience to allude to the crisis that is women’s rights.
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton in her speech as First Lady at the U.N. 4th World Conference of Women Plenary in Beijing,China on September 5th, 1995 discussed the suppression of women’s rights and how women’s rights should be treated as human rights and therefore making a positive change all around the world. In order to make her speech effective Clinton used repetition, specifically anaphora, to emphasize her point and bring attention to the fact that women’s rights should be treated as human rights by beginning her sentences with the same phrase. She repeats the phrase “It is a violation of human rights when…”, in order to emphasize the inhumane ways that women are treated such as being sold into slavery, burned to the stake, being raped, and genital mutilation. The word “violation” implies that it is wrong for anyone to be treated like this and it is a form of injustice, she is implying that just because women and girls are being treated like this it is still wrong and goes against human rights. Clinton also demonstrates her appeal to logos because she is stating facts about how women are being treated in China, and how it is unjustified that women are being treated like this. This is effective in her speech because she brings up the injustices being faced in order to call for change.
ReplyDeleteOn September 5th in 1995, Hillary Clinton delivered a speech during the UN’s fourth world conference on Women Plenary session. She talked about the inequality that women face in different countries all around the world. At many points she uses repetition to do so, but the most effective way she uses it is when she repeats the phrase “it is a violation of human rights”. The purpose of this is to illustrate the miss treatment of women because she follows this phrase with “when doused with gasoline” and “when individual women are raped in their own communities”. The term “doused with gasoline” is very provoking to the audiences pathos because it makes them imagine the situation that is being described and how truly awful it is. “Doused” is used to show the extreme that some communities will go to when degraded the rights as women by killing them for no good reason. Then she discusses the issue of rape which is present in every country on Earth. The nation has a past history of treating women as less equal to men, which has led to the gender inequality that we face today. Clinton explains that the raping of women is used as a tactic of war to punish an enemy country and that women are used as objects to be made the inferior gender. Clinton uses repetition of the term “it is a violation of human rights” to convey a serious, yet extremely angry tone towards the topic of mistreatment of women all around the world. The purpose of Clinton’s speech was the enrage her female audience to a point where they realize that they cannot go on living like this, and that they need to come together to create change.
ReplyDeleteIn Hillary Clinton’s speech refuting the 4th United Nations Conferences in Beijing China in 1995, she speaks upon her numerous encounters with problems that society has faced throughout her role as the First Lady of the United States. With provoking repetition she evokes hope within her audience and allows them view the fundamental idea of the greatness she will bring in the near future. Throughout the middle of her speech Hillary clearly states these encounters as a list beginning with “I have met”. This sentence starter serves the purpose to bring out the significance of how these various encounters are just a few of the many actions that are being taken in the world, by women to stand for Women’s rights. Her remarks of other women shine a light towards her audience, in a showing them how they could take a stand as well for this issue in society. Towards the end of the speech she repeatedly lists out many errors this society has done as a whole, beginning her sentences with “it is a violation”. She is also evoking emotion by listing out violations of how women and girls are being treated. Using imagery to describe how women are being treated, she generates fear informing us of the dangers but also creates a sort of rebellion as she stands to fight against these issues. As she uses repetition and imagery to evoke emotion in her speech she demonstrates how problematic Women’s rights really is.

ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton at the U.N 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session uses repetition and juxtaposition in order to evoke the passionate tone to advocate for the women’s equality across the world. She spoke in front of many powerful women at the conference wearing a pink jacket to illustrate the feminine and eliteness. She repeats the noun “I” in the first page in order to appeal to ethos. She is describing what she can do and her credibility of her power. She has a huge influence to the people who can bring justice to those innocent women who aren’t being treated equal. She also repeats “I have met” which demonstrates her experience as a First Lady. This appeals to ethos because she has enough knowledge to help them. Clinton juxtaposes the condition of those women and potential of being a better world. “Girls and women are valued less, fed less, fed last, overworked, underpaid, not schooled, not subjected to violence in and outside their homes” and “potential of human family to create a peaceful, prosperous world will not be realized.” This emphasizes her message of how necessary it is to give women equality because it will improve our the human kind.
On September 5th, 1995, First Lady Hilary Rodham Clinton delivered a speech at a United Nations Conference for Human Rights in China, arguing for improvement in the lives of women and young girls and for women’s rights to be human rights that give them opportunities to succeed in society. To make this point clear, she uses repetition in the quote “What we are learning around the world is that if women are healthy and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish. And when families flourish, communities and nations do as well” to stress to her audience the idea that everyone relies on women in society and it is not fair for them because men don’t contribute as much as them. The repetition of the words “families will flourish” seems to present one side of the story of life, the appealing side, but then when Clinton reveals that this happens as a result of women, she suggests that women don’t have breaks and deserve to be treated more fairly and not be used for their work. At this point, Clinton appeals to pathos when invoking a factual but questioning tone through the phrase “what we are learning around the world” since she explains to her audience, the outcomes of the things women do for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIn her 1995 speech at the U.N. World Conference in China, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed issues surrounding women’s rights. The repeated phrase “It is a violation of human rights” emphasizes that when women lack rights, it infringes human rights. The anaphora is used in order to exaggerate her message that women’s rights and human rights are the same. This appeals to logos because it is logical that fighting for human rights means fighting for women's rights since women are human beings and deserve all the same rights as men. The phrase “their families will flourish” is also repeated to imply the effect of women gaining more rights. Clinton repeats this throughout her speech. She uses a demanding tone when she repeats the phrase in order to convince her audience that women need more rights. This also helps establish ethos in Clinton’s speech because she provides a lot of context on her experience working with women and families. Ultimately, Clinton uses repetition in her speech to establish logos and ethos in order to send the message that women need more rights.
ReplyDeleteIn 1995, Clinton delivered a speech on human rights. Throughout her speech, Clinton uses repetition to emphasize the political, economic, and social factors that prevent women from having the same opportunities as other men and women. Clinton repeats the words “it is a violation of human rights” to support her argument by implying that “it is a violation” to women when their human rights are not given to them. Clinton continues using repetition when she repeats “common” in a phrase to unite her audience and herself. When Clinton says the phrase, “We share a common future, and we are here to find common ground…”, she appeals to Pathos by using “common ground” to expresses her goals with achieving women rights, and expects everyone to be on the same page.
ReplyDeleteA speech given from executives are generally about an alarming topic. The topic can and will usually have a solution that involves assistance from the audience. In this case, Hillary Clinton, the first lady of the United States at the time, delivered a speech about women’s rights in the world in 1995. Clinton gave this speech in Beijing at the United Nations World Conference. Clinton wants the world to understand women’s rights and how they are human rights, as well as advocating for proper women's rights, to be portrayed equal. Clinton utilizes repetition to portray emotion and credibility. The use of repetition ultimately appeals to pathos and ethos, the phrases and words she uses are strong, which evokes different emotions. Clinton uses an example to show the outcome if women were allowed to be involved in society, as she states, “If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish” (Clinton, 2). The repetition of the phrase, “if women” and “will flourish” shows what the outcome would be for women if they were allowed to enter society and be treated as equal to their partners. This ultimately evokes an emotion of happiness because it allows people to imagine what society would look like when women enter, which at the time, women were revoked of their rights simply because they were women. Furthermore, Clinton reiterates her claim by stating, “It is a violation of human rights when…(Clinton 4)”. The repetition of this phrase is used because Clinton wants to remind the audience of how rights are violated, and what a violation is. She wants to enforce the definition of a violation of rights by constantly repeating the phrase so the audience understands. Thus appealing to her credibility, she comprehends what is being said and is well aware of what a violation is, her job by repeating the phrase, was to ensure the understanding of the audience. By using repetition, Clinton clearly makes her argument by appealing to the emotions of the audience and her own credibility. This technique ultimately made her arguments clear and precise.

ReplyDeleteIn her speech about the UN 4th World Conference on Women Plenary Session, Hillary Clinton uses the phrase “It is a Violation” to imply the crimes against women that still exist in the world today. She brings up various topics by using repetition with the phrase “it is a violation” such as domestic violence, rape, death, war, and the topic of abortion/sterilization. One example being her statement on female slavery and prostitution, she says “It is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into the slavery of prostitution for human greed -- and the kinds of reasons that are used to justify this practice should no longer be tolerated” (Clinton, 1995). Her use of it is a violation before anything else shows how the main point is how it violates human rights. Because of this, Hillary Clinton’s use of repetition was able to drill in her idea of violating human rights. Another example of this repetition was not much later when Clinton brought up abortion and sterilization. She stated “It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being sterilized against their will.” (Clinton 1995). Abortion is an extremely sensitive subject. Because she brought it up there could have been a surplus of supporters who are against sterilization and forced abortion. Therefore, she was able to use repetition to bring up sensitive subjects and make her argument seem even more credible and sincere.
On December 5th, 1995 Hillary Clinton delivered her speech at the fourth world conference in Beijing, China. In her speech, Hillary Clinton advocates for women's rights and she emphasizes why men and women must be treated equally in order to create a successful future. Throughout her speech Hillary Clinton repeats the phrase “It is a violation of human rights when….” This is a form of repetition that Clinton uses throughout her speech, she repeated this line to explain how women are heavily mistreated in the United States. The specific word “violation” being repeated in several lines in the middle of her speech, implies the amount of unjust being applied to women worldwide. Furthermore, her use of repetition along with other certain words and phrases lead to her appeal to pathos. For example, “it is a violation of human rights when young girls are being brutalized…” The words “young girls” and “brutalized” appeals to pathos because it evokes emotion from specifically parents, these specific words are used in order to create a sense of awareness. Finally, Hillary Clinton uses specific word choice and repetition in her speech to inform Americans that for this country to move in a positive direction there must be equal rights given to both both men and women.
ReplyDeleteIn her speech on Women’s rights, Hillary Clinton uses repetition and diction to appeal to pathos in order to send the message that women deserve equal rights compared to men. Throughout her speech she continues to say “We” to create a sense of unity putting all women in one group as she addresses Americans. This sense of unity allows women to relate to her making them want to hear her and what she has to say. This allows Hillary Clinton to appeal to pathos as American women begin to feel included making them want to continue listening. She also repeats the phrase “every family” to continue this sense of unity as she includes everyone in her speech since there are women in every family. Hillary uses these words to show everyone that it relates to all of them proving its importance. Hillary also repeats the phrase “It is a violation of human rights when” in one section of her speech to emphasize what is happening to women and why it matters. The word “violation” emphasizes women’s right to privileges as citizens and as human beings. Overall Hillary Clinton uses repetition to convey the message that women’s rights are important and that they deserve equal rights.
ReplyDeleteHillary Clinton’s speech given at the annual United Nations World Conference on Women in 1995 was meant to empower women and make them realize their worth, rights, and individuality. It was wildly successful, inspiring women on a global scale and furthering the worldwide movement of women’s rights. One of the various ways that Clinton inspired her audience was with repetition of certain powerful words/phrases. For example, she repeats the phrase “it is a violation of human rights” followed by multiple examples of women being oppressed all over the world. The inclusion of such powerful examples directly following the very strong repetition serves to enhance not only her argument as a whole but also the repetition itself. One of the purposes of repetition talked about in class in unifying people via the repetition of shared beliefs. The aforementioned repetition unifies everyone who can relate to the examples that followed it. From abuse and rape to financial inequality, Clinton’s use of repetition coupled with examples serves to unify the audience and enhancer her argument.
ReplyDeleteIn a speech at the 4th World Conference on Women Plenary, First Lady Hillary Clinton reaffirmed her position on the controversy. Clinton argued that in current society there is still great inequality specifically, women are being blatantly discriminated against. She repeats the phrase “it is a violation of human rights” to emphasize the abuse the women have constantly been subjected to. By saying “a violation of human rights” she successfully categorizes women with the rest of the population implying that that since men aren’t forced to live through these obvious brutalities. The term “human rights” suggests that women are being stripped of fundamental rights. This works to evoke a sense of compassion as citizen will realize the unjust imbalance between genders that society has constructed. Clinton uses the repetition of this phrase to call for change as discrimination restrains the “the potential of the human family to create a peaceful, prosperous world will not be realized.” With the frequent and various inequalities in the world, Clinton identifies the problem in society and uses it to build a argument directed to her audience pleading for support for her clause.
ReplyDeleteIn Hillary Clinton's speech at the U.N. conference in Beijing, China in 1995, Clinton utilizes repetition with the phrase “if women are...will flourish”, in order to show the significance of women’s rights on the rest of the world. With the repetition of this phrase, Clinton is able to show that when women are flourishing and treated fairly, it positively impacts the rest of society as well. In the repetition of this phrase, the words “if” and “will” indicates a cause and effect, by saying that if women are given more opportunity, it will in effect have a positive impact not only on women, but also society as a whole. One example she uses the connection of the mother to a family, saying several times that when women treated fairly and are “equal partners in society”, the “family will flourish”. She makes her final connection by saying that when the family is flourishing, communities and nations flourish as well. Ultimately, Hillary Clinton uses repetition and cause and effect to appeal to the logos of the audience as they see how women's rights directly affects society as a whole
