Answer 17

The following statement by U.S. President Richard Nixon is an example of using _____.


I want to talk to you for a moment about civil rights, equal rights for all our citizens: why must we vigorously defend them? First, because it is right and just. And second, because we cannot compete successfully with Communism if we fail to utilize completely the minds and energies of all of our citizens. And third, the whole world is watching us. When we fail to grant equality to all, that makes news, bad news for America, all over the world. Now the record shows that there has been more progress in civil rights in the past eight years than in the preceding 80 years, because this administration has insisted on making progress, and I want to continue it and speed up that progress. I want to help build a better America for all Americans.
