Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Along with grammar and logic or dialectic, rhetoric is one of the three ancient arts of discourse. Rhetoric normally explains the three arts of using language as a means to persuade (logos, pathos, and ethos), as well as the five canons of Rhetoric: memory, invention, delivery, style, and arrangement. From ancient Greece to the late 19th Century, it was a central part of Western education, filling the need to train public speakers and writers to move audiences to action with arguments. The very act of defining has itself been a central part of rhetoric, appearing among Aristotle's Topics. The word is derived from the Greek ῥητορικός (rhētorikós), "oratorical", from ῥήτωρ (rhḗtōr), "public speaker", related to ῥημα (rhêma), "that which is said or spoken, word, saying", and ultimately derived from the verb ἐρῶ (erô), "to speak, say". In its broadest sense, rhetoric concerns human discourse. Rhetoric as a civic artThroughout European history, rhetoric has concerned itself with persuasion in public and political settings such as assemblies and courts. Because of its associations with democratic institutions, rhetoric is commonly said to flourish in open and democratic societies with rights of free speech, free assembly, and political enfranchisement for some portion of the population.

GNU Free Documentation License Is it coincidence or wisdom that gave the Democrats a victory to match their negative rhetoric for 30 years? Q. Young people here will not know that since Reagan, Democratic leaders have pretty much used the same rhetoric and hyperbole at election time. The economy is bad, only the rich get richer, opportunity is less than in the past, and, we need to restore our image abroad. Mondale ran against Reagan saying the same stuff in 1984. Young people are too young to know, and, I suspect, that the banking crisis made the tired old rhetoric seem new and fresh to them. What do you think about this? Asked by nononsense - Tue Feb 10 08:44:46 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. No. Republicans have been clinging to Reagan mysticism for two decades of failure. It would seem the Democratic Party is learning from its failures albeit slowly. Republicans cannot even admit they are wrong and have always been wrong.
