Communication The purpose of this study was to investigate the invention in the "One World" addresses of Wendell Lewis Willkie. Selected for analysis were twenty-four addresses on the issue of internationalism delivered by Willkie between the years 1940-1944. The methodology utilized throughout the study was Aristotelian. An analysis of the events, which shaped Willkie as a speaker and an analysis of internationalism as an issue were undertaken prior to an analyzation of the addresses. The study was closed with an appendix of the twenty-four addresses. The conclusions found by this study were: (1) Wendell Willkie possessed an extensive speech background and was particularly well trained in debate;(2) the Willkie addresses were concentrated on the specific themes of military, po1itica1, and economic internationalism; (3) Willkie's speeches were traditionally Aristotelianin design as he used ethical, emotional, and logical proofs as his forms of persuasion; (4) Willkie used ethical proof sparingly throughout the addresses although the appeal was used, to some degree, in every address; (5) Willkie significantly used emotional proof in all addresses as he appealed to pride in freedom, pride in country, humanitarianism, and hope; (6) Willkie predominantly used logical proof in his addresses as he constantly used the refutative and demonstrative enthymemes; (7) Willkie was a proficient speaker and statesman whose speeches were balanced with all elements of the inventive process. 1972 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1555931250428296 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1555931250428296 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
