• W83099145 abstract "On night of August 15, 1996; as he accepted his party's nomination for President of United States, Robert Dole took an expansive view of impending election. friends, he said, presidential campaign is more than a contest of candidates. It is a measurement of who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.(1) By saying this, Dole tacitly assumed a burden every major party candidate for president has shouldered since television arrived to carry his words to a mass audience. Stated most succinctly, each nominee has been expected to articulate a captivating vision of nation's past and destiny. Every Democratic and Republican candidate since 1960 has included in his acceptance speech an allusion to such a vision.(2) The rhetorical challenge facing newly nominated candidate is formidable; as party's standard bearer, he must represent and, in conjunction with recently adopted platform, define latest manifestation of party's ideology. Secondly, he must rally party faithful--the delegates in convention hall and partisans watching at home--and enlist their support for campaign ahead. Finally, and most urgently, nominee is compelled to gain support of independent voters and targeted groups, with a view toward building a winning coalition in November.(3) Given daunting complexity of task, it might appear that no single concept or image could suffice as a thematic basis for vision to be proffered by acceptance speaker. In fact, such a theme does exist, and practically every political rhetor has recourse to it at one time or another. This ubiquitous idea is enduring myth of American Dream. The purpose of this article is to examine latest expression of this potent and pervasive symbol of national identity. With Dole's Sail Diego speech as a focus, I shall attempt to discover shape and character of American Dream as it appears in folklore of modern Republican party. My goal is to shed light on ideology of both major political parties in United States, while charting evolution of a significant rhetorical genre, nomination acceptance address. As a working hypothesis to be tested by this study, I suggest that mythology of American Dream still retains its efficacy as a motivational force in political dialogue of nation. The American Dream as a Force in National Consciousness America has been a land of dreams, writes Daniel J. Boorstin. A land where aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true.(4) These aspirations spoken of by Boorstin converge on a national scale to form simple conviction that it is possible, by working hard in America, for anyone to build a good life. The assumptions underlying this credo have been subjected to thorough analysis and exhaustive critique by political theorists, sociologists, journalists, interpreters of popular culture, and historians representing a wide range of specializations.(5) The function of this article does not entail a comprehensive review of these writings and their conclusions. It is sufficient to posit that American Dream is not a propaganda device created by political persuaders; it has been, from inception of American republic, the centerpiece of a national ideology about which Americans share a large degree of consensus.(6) Flowing from this consensus is proposition that society will prosper to degree that individual citizens are left free to pursue their own private dreams. The institutions of governance spawned by this ideology include provisions for freedom of speech, personal and civil rights, a free market economy, and rule of law.(7) Although simplistic interpretations of American Dream have sometimes reduced it to an urge to make money and live a comfortable life, a larger vision has always been at work. …" @default.
