Credibility

No effective speaker can just stand on a platform and simply just start talking about their topic. There is always an introduction that pulls readers into what is being said . Churchill and Goebbels both established credibility in their speech introduction for similar reason but into two distinct ways.


Churchill and Goebbels both start their speeches trying to inspire belief or trust i
n the audience. Church was the new prime minister coming in behind a very heartily supported prime minister. He also came in right in the heat and beginning for World War II when Nazis were tearing across Europe. Can someone say pressure? Goebbels had to be able to gain public approval and encourage Great Britain in this war.  Building credibility was his only option to win over the crowd. Goebbels made his speech as the war was becoming evidently serious.  Goebbels wanted this speech to build popular enthusiasm as well and convince Hitler to give him greater powers in running in the war economy. He needed to first build a slight patriotic connection before he could arouse the crowd to  with his eccentric words.


Churchill pinpoints his finished work from his task of forming a new administration.
He tell this almost like a story. He formed the war cabinet all in one single day , sending position roles to the Majesty and will take it upon himself that everyone and anyone will complete all their projects.  A president that is quick , effective and urgent. A good president he must be? That is exactly what Churchill wanted to build up in his audience. He proved the his audience that he isn't just some new guy but tells of his actions that make him well qualified and seems diligent. Goebbels in his introduction refers to the two events which he stood by his people and  with their unity was able to “ overcome the difficulties we faced in the fourth wars”. He relates with the crowd by pathos. He was “ proud to be bound to all of you radio with the last heroic fighters in Stalingrad during our powerful meeting here in the Sport Palace”. He included the audience using the word “ we” and thanking them for their all mighty support to him and Germany. He uses the intro also as a way to reach to the audiences heart. “ Singing the national anthem”, “Obligation for all of us “, the strength to survive such a disaster” ; all these clauses bring unity to the crowd as one nation. Inserting patriotism in the beginning of this speech helps Goebbels have more effect to convince the audience to fully devote to the war.

Machiavelli and Thoreau - Being the Citizens


Machiavelli and Thoreau have similar attitudes towards the general citizen and man. Both see all men as dumb and naïve while Thoreau sees the same, but just towards the “general” man.


Both Machiavelli and Thoreau see men as people that follow majority. Thoreau goes to say  “Men generally,... think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them.” Men feel as though only a great amount of people can go against “ the machine” but deliberately don't see that this has a poor outcome and chance to change for good. Also, they fail to see that to get change they must take effective action; be a “ counteraction to the machine. General men rely on a number to make government better. This strategy only leads to the government keeping and continuing to have more power . As this is Machiavelli's whole purpose for the prince , he too see citizens as dumb; who  “are always impressed by the superficial appearance of things, and by the outcome of an enterprise.” One person alone isn’t sensible enough to distinguish the appearance of being humane, sincere and truthful apart from cruel treatment, lies and harshness. But, as long as he seems humane, sincere and truthful that is exactly what he must be, right? The people are therefore handing the Prince the upper hand in power. Both Machiavelli and Thoreau believe that citizens add to the their authorities power when they follow majority.

Machiavelli and Thoreau continue to have similar thought when it comes to men and citizens Machiavelli and Thoreau both acknowledge that men are dependent on authority, but Thoreau pins point that only to the general man, while a wise man is different. A Prince wouldn’t mind being called a miser, for even though he is “loading his people with exorbitant taxes and squeezing money out of them in every way he can”, he is still a good leader. So I would imply that he too thinks men will easily obey to the prince, in the end ,  thinking he must be burdening them to get a great return in the end . The citizens once again fail to the see that the high taxes, and work they do isn't for the country’s good but rather to beneficially gain power for the prince. Thoreau would say the same for the general man because he too is bending to the governments will. But on the other hand, to Thoreau “A wise man will only be useful as a man, and will not submit to be “clay” and “stop a hole to keep the wind away”, but leave that office to his dust at least” The wise citizen will not be used for the benefit of the Government.  He will not conform to the injustices of the government, but rather leave the government to itself. The general man in Machiavelli and Thoreau's eyes don't have the confidence to be self dependent individuals while the wise man stands apart, a far from authority’s rule.
