Bernie Sanders, a ‘people's
man’ they say. He has single handedly taken the political field
by storm with his over whelming support from the working class. Bernie has used
the five rhetoric canons to help make him rise to success. I will use this blog
to show just how effective the five rhetoric canons can be through the example
of Bernie's political run so far.
Invention:
Bernie Sanders noticed the many issues that our government has with the future
of our generation. One of the main issues is in regard to the cost of college
education in America. Bernie has spent much of his time focused on this issue,
because several people in America are severely in debt due to student loans. I
believe this was a good tactic for Bernie to have, because many people disagree
with how much students pay for their education. Another issue that Bernie has
focused on, is increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. I agree with Bernie
on this issue, because of the fact that no one working 40 hours a week should
ever be in poverty. These are just two examples of what Bernie has decided he
wants to focus his campaign on. So simply put, Bernie has seen the issues with America’s
future for their youth and has given a plan to fix them. Now it's time for him
to arrange his campaign.
Arrangement: As a political candidate,
Bernie needs the support of the American people. The most efficient way to gain
this support is to arrange an emotional campaign. What speaks to the American
public is showing examples of what is going on. So in turn, Bernie will have
college students standing around him while giving a speech with the total of
their debt written on a piece of paper on their chest. This simple arrangement
shows what college students feel like. We feel like a number. Every single day
the constant looming college debt is hanging over us. To us we feel like a
failure, because we weren't fortunate enough to afford college. Bernie's
arrangement of how he will deliver to the American people has a great impact to
the people who follow him and believe in what he says.
Style: This part
of the five cannons is simple. Much like what I stated previously, Bernie is
riding on the emotional impact he is leaving on American citizens. His style is
so perfect it quickly explains why his rise of popularity among the people has
been so quick recently. Bernie has been able to establish an emotional
connection with American people, and they are respecting him because of it. Since
arrangement and style complement each other so well, I will just move on to the
memory part of the five canons.
Memory: Bernie's
campaign, regardless of results, will leave a huge impact on the history of our
government. Bernie is the person who is completely different to the political
figures that we have had recently. Bernie has shown he is for the people and no
other candidate in this race for election has proven themselves to do so. Many
people would agree that Bernie is the first candidate since Roosevelt that has cared
for what is best for the people. Bernie is creating a political run that will
outlast his time, because of the movement it is making. Today's youth will
stand tall and proud in years to come knowing that there is at least one
political figure who cares about them.
Deliver: The
campaign of Bernie Sanders has been highly effective so far. The inclusion of
the working class into his campaign was the best thing he could have done. Like
I said, regardless of outcome, Bernie has created a social movement to make our
government be for us not against us. Another reason to why Bernie's campaign
has had so much of a success is because of who he is running against. Hilary Clinton
has gotten the reputation of being the paid off candidate. She is funded by big
banks and huge insurance companies. Which helps makes Bernie’s
appearance seem wholesome compared to Hilary’s track record. So even if Bernie does
not make it to the White House, at least this political season will be full of
excitement and wonder as to who will be the next President.
