Decoding A Political Speech

Select a political speech/declaration that has significantly influenced your political perspective and dissect it.

Political speeches can greatly sway public opinion and even change the course of history. Choose a speech that has impacted you personally and break it down – what was significant about the rhetoric used, the sentiments and values expressed, or the context in which it was delivered? Investigate how it managed to affect or articulate your political beliefs. This prompt encourages critical thinking, interpretation of language and analysis of context.
