Nearly everything we read and hear is an argument. Speeches are special kinds of arguments and should be analyzed as such. Listeners should keep in mind the context of the situation involving the delivery and the audience-but a keen observer should also pay close attention to the elements of argument within the text. This assignment requires students to look for those elements.
"Since rhetoric is the art of effective communication, its principles can be applied to many facets of everyday life" (Lamb 109). It's through this lesson that students are allowed to see how politicians and leaders manipulate and influence their audiences using specific rhetorical devices in a manner that's so effective that the speeches are revered even today. It's important that we keep showing our students how powerful language can be when it's carefully crafted and arranged.

Martin Luther King, Jr. uses an appeal to pathos in his “I Have a Dream” speech through his historical allusion to Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation: “Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.” This is particularly effective for his audience of people sympathetic to the cause of African American men and women who would have been especially moved by this particular reference since it had such a significant impact on the lives of African Americans.
Students explore the ways that powerful and passionate words communicate the concepts of freedom, justice, discrimination, and the American Dream in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
While drafting a literary analysis essay (or another type of argument) of their own, students work in pairs to investigate advice for writing conclusions and to analyze conclusions of sample essays. They then draft two conclusions for their essay, select one, and reflect on what they have learned through the process.
Useful for a wide variety of reading and writing activities, this outlining tool allows students to organize up to five levels of information.

No, jd vance didn’t fuck a couch. but saying he did is free speech. here’s why..
Consolidated News Photos via Shutterstock
Republican presidential nominee JD Vance
He certainly didn’t couch his words.
Last night, Democratic vice presidential pick and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz came to FIRE’s hometown of Philadelphia to campaign with presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
“And I got to tell you, I can’t wait to debate the guy — that is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up,” Walz told the crowd . “See what I did there?”
Walz was referencing a now-deleted X post that has morphed from fringe joke into mainstream political consciousness .
X user @rickrudescalves posted on July 15: “can’t say for sure but he might be the first vp pick to have admitted in a ny times bestseller to fucking an Inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions (vance, hillbilly elegy, pp. 179-181).”
I read “Hillbilly Elegy.” I definitely would’ve remembered that.
There’s no truth to the statement . And the X user who tweeted it acknowledged the post was a joke and deleted it about a week later — after it took off.
First, some definitions.
Misinformation is simply false or inaccurate information. Nothing more, nothing less. Disinformation is false or misleading information peddled deliberately to deceive . The two get confused, but both are protected by the First Amendment, and for good reason. And political jokes — well, we’ll get to that.
Political disinformation is nothing new. Thomas Jefferson was Native American ? Lincoln had a top secret plan to make a new “American race” via interracial sex? Michelle Obama has a penis ? People have been claiming wild falsehoods about the political classes for millenia. (Someday, archaeologists will surely find some ancient graffiti alleging that Julius Caesar is a Muslim and INELIGIBLE to lead.)
It’s up to Americans to weigh evidence for themselves and make up their own minds. If false claims weren’t protected by free speech, we’d have to trust the government to decide the truth for us. That’s exactly why the First Amendment gives wide latitude even to lies, misinformation, and disinformation. Check out our handy explainer on misinformation and disinformation to learn more.
If we sacrifice comedy to save innocent voters from the horrors of misinformation, we’ll lose a lot more than killer SNL skits.
If you think it's bad for government bureaucrats to decide whether claims in the rough and tumble of political debate are true (and worthy of protection) or false (and worthy of punishment), just wait until you add in comedy.
The brouhaha ignores an important part of our national discourse: the ability to joke. 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house. That was Tina Fey . And studies show that 7 in 10 Americans believed it! But if we sacrifice comedy to save innocent voters from the horrors of misinformation, we’ll lose a lot more than killer SNL skits.
The First Amendment rightly protects satire and parody. In 1983, Hustler magazine parodied Jerry Falwell, a nationally known minister and public commentator, in an ad for Campari featuring Falwell recalling a sexual experience with his mother in an outhouse. The cartoon even included a disclaimer that it is an “ad parody not to be taken seriously.” Falwell was awarded $150,000 in damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress before the case was unanimously overturned by the Supreme Court in 1987.
Like much of First Amendment law, not exactly. Some forms of lying aren’t protected speech, including:
As my colleague Angel Eduardo says in his post on lying and the First Amendment , “Like any deviation from the presumption that speech is protected, these exceptions to the rule are limited, narrowly defined, and place the burden on the government to justify.”
In a free society, there’s only one solution to fight misinformation and disinformation — and that’s an informed citizenry who can separate fact from fiction without the heavy hand of government regulation.
Listen, FIRE isn’t playing the role of a fact-checker in this election. There are lots of other folks with the resources and mandate to do that. But when political disinformation explodes into the national conversation and you have questions about free speech and disinformation — FIRE has your back .
Whether or not it’s gyrating on top of an unsuspecting loveseat.
FIRE’s award-winning Newsdesk covers the free speech news you need to stay informed.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her meteoric rise as the successor to President Joe Biden, 81, as the Democratic presidential candidate in the Nov. 5 election is the most significant seismic shift in presidential politics in recent history.
As she gears up to secure the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago this August, we examine some of Harris’ most significant accomplishments and policy initiatives.
More: Biden drops out of 2024 presidential race: What to know as America looks to election
In response to immigration concerns, Harris’ call to action was the public-private partnership Central America Forward (CAF). The idea behind CAF is to support the creation of local jobs and other measures in order to slow the flow of mass migration.
CAF has generated more than $5.2 billion since its launch in 2021, and its partners include more than 50 companies and organizations that have committed to supporting economic growth in the Central America region. The entities represent the financial services, textiles, apparel, agriculture, technology, telecommunications, nonprofit sectors, and others, according to the White House.
Harris was at the forefront of the administration’s pursuit to enshrine voting rights protection throughout the U.S. according to White House transcripts . She pushed for Congress to pass the John R Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act , which would’ve extended the protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and required federal approval for some local election law changes.
In 2021, the bill did not receive the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster, preventing the start of debate on the Senate floor where Harris would have cast the deciding vote in the evenly split chamber.
Harris visited a Planned Parenthood clinic on March 14, a historic first for any president or vice president while in office, according to previous reporting by USA TODAY.
Walking through the clinic in Minnesota, the vice president spoke with staff members and health care providers as part of her nationwide “Fight for Reproductive Freedoms” tour earlier this year.
In September 2023, Biden established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to reduce gun violence, overseen by Vice President Harris, as announced by the White House.
The Office of Gun Violence Prevention builds upon actions taken by the Biden-Harris administration to end gun violence, which include the signing of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
Heralded by the White House as the most impactful gun violence prevention measure in almost three decades, the now law bars individuals under the age of 21 from buying firearms, grants the Justice Department additional powers to prosecute gun traffickers, provides mental health services in schools to assist youth affected by gun violence trauma and grief and funds community-based violence intervention programs.
In her previous role as U.S. Senator for California, Harris introduced the Maternal CARE Act and the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act , which would direct multi-agency efforts to improve maternal health, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups, veterans, and other vulnerable populations as well as maternal health issues related to COVID-19.
The vice president’s prior work on maternal and infant health care was a key component of the Build Back Better Act , passed in 2022. The legislation expands access to maternal care and makes new investments to drive down mortality and morbidity rates.
In 2023, Harris and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo traveled to Kenosha, Wisconsin to celebrate the announcement of new electronics equipment production made possible by the Biden-Harris Administration’s “ Investing in America ” agenda and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law requires the use of American-made materials and products for federally funded infrastructure projects, with the goal of bringing hundreds of new jobs to the U.S. The law also notably includes a historic $65 billion investment to expand affordable and reliable high-speed Internet access in communities across the U.S.
“Our investments in broadband infrastructure are creating jobs in Wisconsin and across the nation and increasing access to reliable, high-speed internet so everyone in America has the tools they need to thrive in the 21st century,” said Harris.
In 2021, President Biden declared Juneteenth a federal holiday. Often referred to as the “Second Independence Day,” it commemorates June 19, 1865, the day when 2,000 Union troops reached Galveston, Texas, to announce that enslaved African Americans were freed by executive order two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, according to the National Museum of African American History and Culture .
“As a United States Senator, I was proud to co-sponsor a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday,” said Harris during the Juneteenth concert at the White House. “This [day], we will hold a national day of action on voting. And I call on all the leaders here to please join us in helping more Americans register to vote.”

3 marketing lessons from the paris 2024 olympics.
Paris Olympics 2024.
The Summer Olympic Games in Paris is in full swing, and there is no shortage of inspiring stories and international controversy. The history of the games goes back around 3,000 years—held every four summers in honour of the Greek god Zeus. But modern companies can gain valuable lessons from the competition despite its ancient origins. The Paris Olympics reflects the unique hopes, dreams and challenges of the 206 territories that make up our diverse, imperfect and beautiful world.
The Olympic ceremony launched with extravagance and controversy. The ceremony featured performances from Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and a torch-bearing Snoop Dogg. But it was a scene featuring drag queens, a transgender model and a semi-naked blue man that sparked international outrage. Critics viewed the performance as a parody of Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper”. Catholics and other religious groups called the show demeaning, disgusting and disrespectful. The Vatican said it was saddened by the Paris opening ceremony and the Organizing Committee apologised . The contrasting reaction to the opening ceremony highlights growing cultural polarization: accelerated and amplified by social media algorithms.
Most marketing goes unnoticed. If your marketing goes unseen, everything else is academic. In the words of Oscar Wilde: “There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” Brands are drowning in a sea of sameness. For marketing to be effective, it needs to evoke an emotional response. A positive emotion is ideal, but any emotion is better than apathy. Now, that doesn’t mean being controversial for the sake of controversy. Getting noticed can be as simple as making a stand, choosing a common enemy or telling a story. The Beijing (2008) and London (2012) Olympic opening ceremonies are still talked about today because they made people feel something. What would your brand’s opening ceremony look and feel like?
Historically, the Olympics could only be viewed through a handful of official TV broadcasters that secured the licensing rights. But in 2024, the most exciting and eccentric coverage is happening on TikTok. Fans are getting direct access to life in the Olympic Village from their favourite athletes. The spontaneous nature of the content makes it more human, relatable and engaging than the official programming from NBC Universal, BBC or Eurosport.
Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen aka Muffin Man has become one of the breakout stars of the games, not for swimming but for his obsession with chocolate muffins from the Olympic Village cafeteria. He has generated more than 100 million views documenting his love affair with the baked good. The democratization of media has a the unfolding of several unexpected subplots. From Turkey’s nonchalant marksman turned meme, Yusuf Dikec who won silver in the air pistol competition wearing casual clothing. To “Aunty” Ni , the 61-year-old grandmother who won her first game in the women’s table tennis. And Stephen Nedoroscik aka pommel horse guy who charmed the internet with his Rubik’s cube, prescription glasses and commitment to the niche apparatus. The lesson for marketers is simple, don’t just focus on tentpole moments and big celebrity names. Your message will get lost. A better strategy is to tap into niches where you can find immense passion and energy. Going niche is the best way to achieve mainstream appeal.

The emergence of China is an untold Olympic story. In the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, the USA won a whopping 44 Gold Olympic medals, in contrast to China’s 16 Gold medals. The Beijing Olympics announced China as an economic, political and sporting superpower on the international stage. China finished the Beijing 2008 Olympics ranked first with 48 gold medals. What is perhaps less documented is China’s strategic plan since the 1980s to become an Olympic heavyweight. The masterplan began with a shortlist of sports with the highest potential for a gold medal. Before expanding to medal-rich sports where China traditionally had limited representation. This was known as Project 119 —named after the number of gold medals available in the events—which included track and field, swimming and water sports. Finally, since 2008, China has targeted more internationally popular sports.
China invested in 3,000 state-run sports schools and more than 400,000 students were enrolled in sports schools in 2005 ahead of the 2008 Olympics. It combined centralized investment and grassroots development to identify, develop and train the best talent in the country. Unlike China’s long-term vision and investment, many companies operate under the tyranny of quarterly results. If China made decisions for the next Summer Olympic Games rather than future generations, its results would be vastly different.
The lack of time, space and vision for the future prevents companies from imagining a future that is different to the current reality. Today’s priorities don’t have to detract from future opportunities if brands adopt a core, expand and explore model.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical need for robust and equitable public health systems in Canada that address the population’s diverse needs. One of the most glaring issues during the pandemic was the lack of standardized definitions and consistent data collection methods regarding ethnicity and race within the health system. This gap was particularly evident in the discrepancies between federal and provincial systems.
During the pandemic, timely and accurate data on COVID-19 infectivity rates among different ethnic and racialized groups were insufficient. This hindered efforts to identify hotspots and effectively prioritize increased opportunities for testing and vaccinations.
The absence of such data reflects a broader issue: the need for structured and formalized data collection practices for public health purposes that do not depend on provincial priorities.
Currently, data collection varies across regions. Public health systems often do not collect self-reported ethnicity and race in a standardized and safe manner. They may not have digitized vaccine records, and often lack access to comprehensive health-care system data.
To be prepared for future epidemics, these gaps in the public health system must be addressed. As physicians and research experts we suggest the following “prescription,” which includes a three-pronged strategy.
First, provincial governments and public health organizations should begin routine collection of key demographic characteristics , including ethnicity and race, to identify hotspots — communities that have a higher caseload — of preventable infectious diseases. These data are essential for guiding evidence-based decision-making and improving public health responses.
At the federal level, the Disaggregated Data Action Plan (DDAP) aims to improve data collection from diverse populations and enable intersectional assessments considering sex/gender, ethnicity and race, and socioeconomic status. Collaboration between Statistics Canada, provincial and territorial governments is crucial to address data gaps, uncover health inequity, and inform policy and research priorities.
The federal government set an example with DDAP, and during the pandemic, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) worked closely with provincial and territorial colleagues, academics and research funders. During the COVID-19 pandemic PHAC strengthened its connection with communities, including facilitating by regular meetings with faith-based leaders, which exemplified the importance of ongoing community alliances.
Provincial and municipal data collection is necessary because public health responses are administered provincially. Localized data helps to address specific community needs. This was seen in Toronto’s neighbourhood-specific studies during the pandemic, which informed the deployment of mobile vaccine clinics .
In addition to quantitative data, qualitative data from the pandemic provides valuable lessons for public health officials. It’s crucial to highlight the experiences of essential workers who, lacking sick pay or worksite testing, continued to work even when symptomatic.

Another example is the neglect of higher-risk communities in prioritizing testing centres and early vaccine roll-out. This type of qualitative data helps paint accurate pictures of how inequities shaped transmission of the virus, to combat stereotypes and misinformation in public discussion about viral transmission, and helps ensure that the narrative does not falsely suggest these communities disregarded public health advice and continued to gather.
Second, community engagement and trust-building with marginalized groups is essential and should precede data collection. These can be identified in each region using census-level information, which includes information on type of housing, socioeconomic factors, age, and immigration and racialized status. During the COVID-19 pandemic , ethnic-specific research provided valuable insights into vaccine hesitancy and helped counter stigmatization narratives.
However, delays in engaging ethnically diverse communities in research were common, often due to the lengthy process of securing funding and ethics board approvals.
Vaccine hesitancy in marginalized communities was influenced by several factors: mistrust of the rapid vaccine development process, historical experiences of racism, and concerns about long-term side effects.
Health service providers, including public health officials, must foster ongoing dialogue with these communities about matters of population health — including healthy active living, healthy babies and mothers, and routine childhood vaccination. Building relationships with on-the-ground grassroots organizations, settlement agencies and faith-based groups plays a vital role in these conversations, helping to dispel misinformation and building trust .
The third requirement is effective communication of culturally tailored information delivered in a language concordant with a community’s needs. In the pandemic, physicians and public health officials’ communication through mainstream media were consistently included as trusted sources of information among specific ethnic and race groups.
Furthermore, providing information regarding COVID-19 testing and vaccination availability in multiple languages, and delivery of services by people who looked like them was crucial in research studies of Black , South Asian , racialized and Indigenous communities. Linguistic and cultural matching between health-care workers, researchers and community members strengthens trust, while poorly translated health messaging begins to erode it.
The lessons learned from COVID-19 should prompt all levels of government to enhance co-ordination to deliver public health and respond efficiently and effectively for future outbreaks. Pandemic preparedness requires continuous community engagement and trust-building, which are prerequisites for effective data collection and public health response strategies.
Unfortunately, the recent measles outbreak in southwestern Ontario reiterated the urgent need for rapid information sharing and dialogue with affected communities. The lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic should inform public health officials at all levels of government to work together in order to act swiftly and decisively in similar scenarios.
The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that a one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate for addressing health inequities. A targeted, community-informed strategy is essential to improve public health responses to ensure equity for all Canadians. Moving forward, we must prioritize the collection and use of disaggregated data, build strong community partnerships, and ensure our public health systems are prepared to meet the needs of our entire population.
