Read the excerpt from President Kennedy's address at Rice University on the Nation's Space Effort: No man can fully grasp how fa
erik [133]

Kennedy's speech is very persuasive as it appeals to the emotions and national pride of the audience. First of all, we have to take into consideration the context in which this speech was delivered. Kennedy pronounced this words on September 12th of 1962, amidst the Cold War and only a year after the Berlin wall had been built. President Kennedy was then in a difficult position in which he had to both keep the spirits of the population up and transmit a sense of safety and control in front of the growing threat of Communism. Also, he had to demonstrate both authority and humility in order to contrast with the authoritarian methods of the communist regimes.

In order to achieve this, he used both rhetoric and evidence. Kennedy lists a set of milestones for humanity and scientific development and places the landing of an unmanned spacecraft into Venus as the latest, most recent achievements. In this way, by deciding to scale down all of the achievements of humanity to a unit of time that is easy to grasp and understand, such as 50 years, Kennedy places the United States as a small but yet important cog in the advancement of humanity and traces a line of continuity between the early pioneers who "conquered" the country and these new pioneers (both in scientific and military power) that are meant to conquer space. These choices are in line with the objective of the speech, that is to present America as a powerful yet humanistic nation in front of the enemy, who was portrayed as dictatorial and merciless.

By establishing this parallelism between those who "moved forward" in the past to conquer the country (especially in Texas, the land of Stephen Fuller Austin and the Old Three Hundred) and those who were "moving forward" at that time to conquer space, he traces a continuity between the original spirit of the nation and the current spirit that had to be maintain in order to face the "new ills (...), new ignorance, new problems, new dangers" that were a result (either direct or indirect) of the Cold War.

To sum up, Kennedy's speech succeeds at engaging an audience that is both in awe and afraid of the state of affairs of the world at that time. The space race worked as an agglutinant force to bring the nation together to admire the marvelous advancement of technology and, at the same time, served as a demonstration of power that attempted to sooth the fears of the population, who were afraid of the potential threat of the USSR.

Laura's paper argues that driver's education in schools
Gelneren [198K]

Laura's friend counterclaim is appropriate because IT IS BOTH DEFENSIBLE AND ARGUABLE.

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Driver's education in school is valuable, this is because most teens, who are just starting out to learn driving are students attending different schools in the country. Incorporating driver's education into the school curriculum system will go a long way in reducing the number of teenage automobile accidents that are recorded in the country on a yearly basis.

Previous studies have shown that teenagers and cars are usually dangerous combination; this is because, automobile accident has been recognized as the number cause of death for teenagers between the ages of 15 and 20.

Studies also show that in USA, about 13.2 millions of all drivers in the country are teenagers and an average of nine teenagers are killed everyday as a result of motor accidents.

Knowledge is power, if the knowledge of safe driving is impacted on the students in schools, it will contribute significantly to reducing the number of teenager deaths that are recorded every year.
