The Bully Pulpit, Presidential Speeches, and the Shaping of Public Policy
Issue framing is the way that people, especially politicians, get other people to view a particular problem or issue. By framing the issue in a particular way, the goal is to get people to think about the issue, to believe that an action is required and, most importantly, to believe that a particular action (the one being proposed by the framer) is the right one. The use of language and imagery is an essential part of issue framing and has been an integral part of the presidency since our nation’s founding, but it has become particularly important since Theodore Roosevelt began to take his message directly to the people. This work examines a selected speech delivered by every president from Roosevelt through Barack Obama to show how language has been instrumental in directing policy. Each chapter will examine the situation or background for the problem, include a transcript of the speech the president delivered, and conclude with an analysis of the speech in terms of the particular frame that the speech utilized and the eventual outcome, or policy direction, inspired by the speech.
Buffy in the Classroom
This book combines the academic and practical aspects of teaching by exploring the ways in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer is taught, internationally, through both interdisciplinary and discipline-based approaches. Essays describe how Buffy can be used to explain--and encourage further discussion of--television's narrative complexity, archetypal characters, morality, feminism, identity, ethics, non-verbal communication, film production, media and culture, censorship, and Shakespeare, among other topics.
Jason Edwards
Excerpt from Jason Edwards: An Average Man There was a phrase which very completely defined the character of Walter Reeves. He was level-headed. He faced the street, hideous with mud, and tumultuous with the war of belated business, with a laughing face and steady brown eyes, though the city impressed him more than he expected it to do. Fresh from college in interior New England town, where life moved quietly - this rush of men and teams over greasy, black cobble-stones deafened and bewildered him. He stood a little while in the mouth of the depot, a gloomy, castellated structure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www....
