“Not what you say, it’s what people hear”

What’s behind winning campaign slogans and career-ending political blunders?

Why do some speeches and advertising campaigns resonate and endure while others are so quickly forgotten?

The answers lie in the way words are used to influence and motivate, the way they connect thought and emotion.

In his speeches, based on his New York Times bestselling book “Words that Work,” Dr. Frank Luntz not only raises the curtain on the art effective language, but also offers priceless insight on how to find and use the right words to get what you want out of life.

Luntz’s engaging, interactive and humorous presentation shows you how to transform simple ideas into an effective language arsenal for the war of perception we all wage each and every day.

JFK Inaugural Address

The inauguration of John F. Kennedy as the 35th President of the United States was held on January 20, 1961 (51 years ago)The inauguration of John F. Kennedy as the 35th President of the United States was held on January 20, 1961. The inauguration marked the commencement of the term of John F. Kennedy as President (which lasted until his assassination two years, ten months, and two days later on November 22, 1963) and Lyndon B. Johnson as Vice President.

In his campaign, Kennedy promised to “get the country moving again,” a new ideal that comforted many Americans because they found a sense of hope and optimism[neutrality is disputed]. In 1960, Kennedy gained the Democratic Party’s nomination for President and millions watched his televised debates with Richard M. Nixon, the Republican candidate[citation needed]. Kennedy won by a narrow margin in the popular vote and became the youngest man elected President and the first Roman Catholic President. His inaugural address encompassed the major themes of his campaign and his short presidency, which was ended on November 22, 1963 by an assassin’s bullet.[2]

Questions for Discussion (p. 281/ p. 301) #2. Thoreau writes, “We do not ride on the

railroad; it rides upon us” (para. 2).

Consider an electronic device (such as a notebook computer, a cell phone, a PDA, or an mp3 player). What would Thoreau say about it? Has this device helped to simplify our lives, or has it had a negative impact on them?
