Abstract
This paper explains that Malcolm X was one of the most awe-inspiring orators of the twentieth century. Using his oratory skills, Malcolm X gave a speech called "Prospects for Freedom in 1965", with the goal of educating the Caucasian audience about the plight of the Afro-American while serving as an almost rallying-cry to prepare his fellow Afro-American brothers and sisters for the harsh realities of the upcoming year. The paper describes the plethora of rhetorical devices used by Malcolm X in this speech, such as rhetorical questions, repetitions, colloquialistic expressions, logos, pathos and ethos.

From the Paper
"Yet another example of Malcolm's desire to effectively communicate with his audience is in the form of his use of repetition, which can be defined as "the repeated use of the same word or word pattern".("Repetition") Throughout the entire discourse, many themes, motifs and words reappear so that he can stress and emphasize the certain themes and ideas. For example, within the introductory paragraphs, Malcolm constantly expresses "it's my [his] third time here" (X 147). This is an attempt to force the fact that he is a competent and experienced speaker."

Abstract
This paper explains that, following in the footsteps of Barack Obama who gave an eloquent and effective speech during Howard University's Convocation Day, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick delivered a wondrous and thought provoking keynote speech in 2008 at Howard University's Charter Day. The paper then explains the use of rhetorical devices in this address, such as colloquialistic expressions, humor, pathos, repetition, ethos, metaphors and euphemisms. The paper concludes that the speech of the second African-American governor ever elected, Deval Patrick, profoundly affected the Howard institution.

From the Paper
"A major rhetorical device that was used in this address was one of colloquialistic expressions which are can be "used in or characteristic of familiar and informal conversation'. In lieu of boring the audience citing historical precedent and preaching the sanctity and integrity of the institution of Howard University, an esteemed and highly regarded intellectual stood center-stage and spoke from the heart as he educated about the audience about education. Instead of opting to bedazzle the crowd with such intellectual and academic words of grandeur, he spoke in every day terminology."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the emotion expressions exhibited by others can serve as abundant sources of information, indicating whether those people intend to harm, evade, or befriend the perceiver. The writer looks at research in which participants were made aware of an infectious threat, after which they reported the extent to which they saw specific emotions of disgust. The writer notes that results showed that inducing a disease avoidance motivation did not lead participants to see more disgust in target faces. Across all motivation conditions, however, women saw marginally more disgust in faces than did men. The writer concludes that further research should be conducted to better understand the cause of gender differences between chronic disease worries and a heightened vigilance for expressions of disgust.

From the Paper
" The independent variable being manipulated was the type of threat that was made salient, which consisted of 3 levels: an infectious threat, a non-contagious physical threat, and no threat. They were manipulated between subjects. After watching the clip, participants were shown photographs of people with neutral facial expressions. The extent to which individuals identified neutral or ambiguous emotion expressions as a) disgust and b) anger were the two dependent variables involved in the study, and they were measured on an ordinal scale. Participants were asked to identify the expression they thought the person was making, and could respond to each face by saying they saw no emotion, identifying the emotion as disgust, or identifying the emotion as anger. The fact that they identified disgust, for example, suggests that the expression showed more disgust than neutral, making ordinal scaling appropriate. The two dependent variables were measured for each level of the independent variable. The answer to the experiment's key question, that priming participants with an infectious threat would lead them to over perceive disgust expressions in faces, was found in an analysis of the main effects of the independent variable."

Abstract
This paper is a research report on an experiment in whether facial expression influences emotions, following the view of many that research supports the idea of the facial feedback hypothesis that holds that making a facial expression can alter the individual's subjective feelings in the direction of that feeling represented by the facial expression. It examines how some believe that making such a facial expression can actually cause the related emotion, while others hold that it can only intensify that emotion that is already felt.

From the Paper
"Research has long been conducted on the connection between expressive behavior and the emotion experienced, much of it based on facial expressions and what they really mean. This research considers some of what has been developed in the literature regarding this topic and then tests the connection between facial expressions and emotions experienced, serving as a test of the facial feedback hypothesis that holds that making a facial expression can alter the individual's subjective feelings in the direction of that feeling represented by the facial expression. In simpler terms, if you smile, you begin to feel happier. Some believe that making such a facial expression can actually cause the related emotion, while others hold that it can only intensify that emotion that is already felt."

Abstract
The author of this paper defines humanities as a group of academic disciplines that study the expression of human beings while making sense of the human experience. This paper explores how the different fields of humanities provide a way for individuals to study the expressions of humankind. From art to literature, academics have studied works in these areas to gain a better understanding and appreciation for the diversity of values and cultures represented.

From the Paper
"In the humanities field of art, current developments in politics, socioeconomics, and technology are represented. Throughout history, art has been an expression of the humankind experience and the values of society at that time. For example, Diego Rivera was a Mexican muralist painter during the 20th Century. When commissioned by the Rockefellers to paint a mural at the Rockefeller Center in New York in 1933 during the Great Depression, Rivera presented a mural of Lenin leading a demonstration of workers amidst a sea of red banners. The murals clear political statement resulted in the mural being destroyed by the Rockefellers. Earlier, Rivera had painted a mural for Henry Ford in Detroit that depicted factory workers in a plant."

Abstract
The paper discusses the uses of language and words, and provides examples of how even among speakers of the same language, misunderstandings can occur. The paper points out how slang words and cultural idioms can confuse a person who has gained fluency in a language but has a different mother tongue. The paper then looks at the effects of tone, body language and facial expressions on our communication.

From the Paper
"Communication is an intrinsic component for the survival of a species. Animals of all classes have methods of communicating with one another from the limited croaks of a bullfrog to the specific sonar signals of dolphins. The complexity of an animal is directly related to the level of communication they exhibit. Chimpanzees can exhibit and react to a plethora of signals and emotions and although they have no vocal abilities to form words, they can be taught to use signs to transfer emotions and desires and are able to interpret commands and facial cues from the humans training them. It comes as no surprise then, that as humans, we have created the most complex forms of communication--language."

Abstract
This paper describes different methods employed by animals to communicate with one another, providing examples of signs and facial cues. It goes on to discuss the most complex form of communication, which is language and the differences in its structure around the world. The paper also discusses the use of slang and body language and how the inability to recognize and read facial expressions results in social maladaptation and stunted communication skills.

From the Paper
"Language is our primary form of communication among one another and is so crucial and unique to us, that it arose independently in every part of the world, resulting in the spread of languages that differ in alphabetical unit and grammatical structure around the world. From the Indoasianic languages to the Latin-based, from Slavic languages to Germanic and every combination in between, we use language to express emotion, relay information and influence others daily. Although language may have risen out of the basic need to relay information pertaining to survival, it has evolved into a complex web of idioms, phrases, words and even sounds that connote the entire range of human emotion, deliver information of all types and is able to influence and impact entire civilizations simply through words and the meanings they contain."
