KENNEDY, JOHN F. “INAUGURATION ADDRESS

The "Inauguration Address" is a public address by John F Kennedy during his

inauguration as the president of the United States on the 20

of January, 1961. In the speech, he

announced that the US would pay any price, bear any burden, support their allies, oppose any

enemy, and meet any hardship to make sure that liberty survives and succeeds. In his speech,

Kennedy outlined what his course would be during his reign. He also mentioned the vision he

had for America and the rest of the world and urged the citizens to join him in the course.

the states to the allying nation. He offers a safe haven free of war and urges that they not use

forearms even though they have and need them. He claims that if all nations unite and work

together peacefully, we can fight our common enemy as humanity, which is poverty, tyranny,

disease, and war.

poor nations and offered to support them (Meagher, 2018). An opposing side is mentioned when

Kennedy says that to those who choose to be their adversaries, they are offered a request that

both sides seek peace before the destruction of humanity happens after offering others an appeal.

The speech applied the Rogerian method of argumentation. In the Rogerian argumentative
