JFK
THE "CAMELOT" PESIDENCY OF JOHN F. KENNEDY

The Camelot Years:

The years in which John F. Kennedy served as President of the United States (1961-1963) are often referred to as the "Camelot Years," due to his efforts to move the country forward and his image as a youthful, vigorous and confident leader, not to mention the presence of his eloquent and sophisticated wife, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. These "Camelot years" were also highlighted by Kennedy's inaugural address in 1961 in which he summoned all Americans to shoulder "the burden of a long twilight struggle. . . against the common enemies of man -- poverty, disease and war itself" (Schlesinger, 1965, p. 56).

Kennedy's Accomplishments:

During these years, Kennedy accomplished much which helped to invigorate the country and bring together all Americans for a common cause. Kennedy took office in the midst of a recession and his first objective was to promote economic recovery which was…...

JFK Inaugural Speech
It was a very cold day on January 20th, 1961, when John Fitzgerald Kennedy took the oath of office, was sworn in as the new president, and delivered a rousing speech to a shivering audience and to a television audience worldwide. The young president was forceful, quite eloquent and used phrases that have become iconic in the American experience. This paper reviews and critiques the speck.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy -- His Inaugural Speech

After being sworn in by Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Earl Warren, Kennedy got everyone's immediate attention when he removed the partisanship from the issue. Kennedy in effect tossed out a gesture of peace to the Republicans. This is not a victory of a party he said; it is a victory for democracy. It is an end and a beginning, he said, meaning an end to the GOP leadership and a beginning of Kenney's democratic…...

During the military service, it gradually becomes apparent that even though the things that you learn mainly refer to the military life, they can also be adapted so that they can be of assistance in the civil one. Consequent to the military service, one is basically prepared to achieve in basically any domain. One can actually claim that the military service brings an advantage to someone's future carrier outside the military.

A military person is more able to understand responsibilities and it is one's nature to set goals according to which to act. Critical thinking skills are a strong attribute for one that has gone through the military service, as the respective persons can think and act quickly, in order to make full use of a situation.

inthrop's "City upon a Hill"
John inthrop's "Model of Christian Charity" impacted not only the Massachusetts Bay Colony settlers but also the history of America by laying a Calvinist foundation of thought for future geopolitical movements. inthrop's motivational sermon highlighted the specialness of the new American settlers, challenging them to be the model of Christian charity for the rest of the world -- yet inthrop's interpretation of charity was different from the traditional Roman Catholic concept, which had held sway over Europe for more than a millennium. inthrop and his people were a "new light" -- a new set of "chosen people" with a "new sense" of religious concepts and practices. And it is this new approach that formed the backbone of the American way of life. This paper will discuss the how and why inthrop's "city upon a hill" left such a lasting impact on America.

576). He proved to be an astute campaigner for the nomination in 1960, particularly in his use of television, most notably in a decisive debate against Republican challenger Richard M. Nixon. Kennedy selected Lyndon B. Johnson from Texas as his running mate, an old-style politician and majority leader of the senate. Despite the tremendous differences of personality between the two men, Kennedy knew he needed to win the South, and also wished to diffuse the influence the Texas politician had amongst his senate colleagues. Kennedy won by fewer than 120,000 votes out of nearly 70 million votes cast in the entire country. Some Protestant Democrats were still leery of the papal influence upon a Catholic president (Brauer 1984, p. 578).

Rhetorical Situation Analysis: 1963 West Berlin SpeechIntroductionKennedy delivered the position of the democratic West in the 1963 Berlin Speech that challenged the world to stand with the US against the USSR in what had become the Cold War. The speech, composed in parts by Kennedy and members of his administration, represented the Democratic Party and its values of American idealism at a time when nuclear war with Russia had already become a serious threat. As an artifact, the 1963 speech says a lot about the collective West and what the US elite thought to be the most important issues of the day.

JFK's Leadership
As that of any successful leader, Kennedy's leadership style is a complex combination of different qualities and characteristics. This paper will analyze several of them, as well as the leadership profile overall, with the purpose of understanding what made Kennedy an effective leader and whether this was indeed the case.

Hald-Mortensen (2007) looks at three different areas where Kennedy excelled and that contributed to making Kennedy an effective leader: vision, decision making and delegation. He points out, first of all, that Kennedy had vision, something essential for an effective leader. In practical terms, vision meant that he knew where the U.S. should end up in the future and molded his policy accordingly.

One such example of a clear vision for Kennedy was the space program and the Moon Project. The space program involved not only the vision that competition for the outer space would be the next area of dispute with…...

Various versions of the conspiracy theories link the purported involvement of Giancana with Castro, Giancana with the CIA, and Oswald to one or the other, or to both. Finally, other conspiracy theories even linked then Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson to the assassination plot, at least in terms of having been made aware of the operation in advance if not necessarily as a co-conspirator (Galanor,

1998).

Several specific individuals later emerged, providing information of their claimed involvement in the assassination conspiracy, including James Files and David Morales

(Benson, 1998). Files was linked to both the CIA after working as a former covert military operative in Laos as well as to organized crime through his association with Charles Nicoletti, a Mafia hitman operating in the Illinois area. Files specifically claimed to have been recruited by Nicoletti to act as a backup shooter positioned in the vicinity of the grassy knoll and that he fired…...

American President John F. Kennedy's handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis played an important role in averting nuclear war between the Soviets and Americans. hile critics (often rightly) accuse Kennedy of making mistakes, including creating the conditions for the crisis in his mismanagement of the Bay of Pigs, his overall performance during the crisis was helpful. Kennedy's choice to avoid a military attack on Cuba was especially important, as was his decision to negotiate diplomatically with Soviet President Nikita Khrushchev.
JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was sparked by American president John F. Kennedy's discovery that the Soviet Union had nuclear missiles in nearby communist Cuba. President Kennedy learned of the buildup of nuclear weapons, which included the installation of offensive nuclear missiles, on October 16th, 1962. At that date, the Soviet Union's nuclear missiles in Cuba were just 90 miles from U.S. territory, and the…...

President Kennedy also used Aristotle's logic or logos to convince people to fight against public enemy such as poverty. JFK also used metaphor and the most famous sentence delivered after metaphor was "asks not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." (Nicholas, 2001 P. 283). The phrase was to appeal and persuade American people to devote their energy to the building of their country as well as cherishing their country as a nation. While the speech was specifically focus on American public, it was also adapted to global people in general. His speech was rhetoric in nature because the speech was a unique for of public speech ever made by any U.S. president.
