1. Describe at least two ways Stalin uses logical fallacies or other forms of faulty
argumentation. Back up your claims with evidence from his speech.
This party called for restoring Germany's military power and consolidating all
German-speaking people into a single country, even though this would violate the
terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
2. Why might Stalin's audience have believed him in spite of the weaknesses in his
argument? Explain your answer.
Two ways, Stalin heavily corrupted the media. Every news that the media told the
people was constructed to favor Stalin so he looks like a very capable leader. He
was known to ruthlessly murdered those who opposed him. So no one even dared to
give contradicting opinions about him.
3. Define panic-monger and describe its connotations. How does Stalin's use of the
word affect his tone? How does the meaning of the word change with each
repetition?
A panic-monger is a man who spreads frenzy and Stalin's utilization of the term
makes all the more an unfriendly tone, even against his own particular individuals.
The significance of the word changes each time by winding up increasingly
threatening in light of the fact that he begins by saying there's no space for freeze
mongers, at that point goes ahead to connect them with spies and the foe, at that
point, at last, goes ahead to state they'll go on trial for spreading alarm.
4. Identify the primary point Stalin makes in his speech, as well as at least one
supporting point.
the Soviet Union must unite and fight against the German invaders to protect their
homeland and their way of life. Stalin considered the political and economic system
under his rule to be Marxism–Leninism, which he considered the only legitimate
successor of Marxism and Leninism. The historiography of Stalin is diverse, with
many different aspects of continuity and discontinuity between the regimes Stalin
and Lenin proposed.
5. Which of Stalin's pathos appeals are designed to produce positive emotions in the
audience, and which are designed to evoke negative emotions? Explain how both
types of pathos appeals work together to make Stalin's speech persuasive.
Some of Stalin’s pathos appeals that are designed to produce positive emotions in
the audience include pointing out Germany’s flaws and shortcomings. The negative
pathos include what Germany sets out to do to the Soviet Union. Both forms of
pathos work together to persuade the audience by making Soviet citizens want to
act against Germany, because Germany was already set out against the soviet
union.
6. Describe how Stalin uses pathos in his arguments to manipulate his audience.
He uses pathos in his speech to appeal to the audience with a more ethical
approach in his wording and what the next plan of action for them is in this war.
