Debatable Topic: conscientious objectors of military service

All Korean men are obliged to serve in the Army once in their lives. However, there are people who reject their military service because of their "conscience", or religious beliefs.
One example of this is the religious group "여호와의 증인", or roughly translated, "The Witnesses of Jehovah". This group is a Christian religious group, and many of their members have rejected military service because of their religious beliefs.
Currently, this is illegal in Korea. People of this group who have rejected military service have been taken to court and sentenced to prison. Exemption or alternatives for the military service is allowed for those mentally/physically unable. However, this is not allowed to those who are mentally/physically capable, just because their beliefs say so.
The Supreme Court of Korea has stated that "The Christian's decision not to serve in the army because of their beliefs is subject to punishment according to military service law. Their decision based on their conscience, in this instance, is not protected by the Constitution's Right to Conscience."

5 rhetoric devices, alliteration etc.

Alliteration: Repetition of a particular sound at the first syllables of several words or phrases. An example from the speech “I have a dream” is; ‘symbolic shadow we stand today, signed ….’ The sound ‘s’ is repeated throughout the sentence at the first syllables of words. By using alliteration, the author probably meant to catch the listener’s attention.

Allusion: To put it in a overly simple way, allusion is ‘reference.’ When writing, if one refers to other stories, texts, events directly or indirectly, one is using allusion. Several examples can be found in King Jr’s speech. He refers to documents such as the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bible. By using allusion, he probably meant to call upon famous texts to back up his reasoning. He used texts from the Declaration of Independence to emphasize that all men were guaranteed ‘unalienable rights of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness’.

Anaphora: If one repeats the same words at the beginnings of a number of sentences, one is using anaphora. In his speech, King Jr keeps saying phrases such as “I have a dream,” “Let freedom ring,” at the beginnings of a series of sentences. By using this, he creates a emphasis on the sentences where the anaphora is used. Since the same phrases are repeated, it catches one’s ears quite easily. In this particular speech, King Jr speaks so that the repeated phrases seem to be at the beginning and at the end of sentences, not just at the beginning, so the emphasis is stronger.

Ethos: Ethos is persuasiveness which comes from the speaker’s character itself. In this case, King Jr is a preacher. This characteristic makes Martin Luther King Jr seem more morally mature than your average black American. Regardless of the speech, this is one characteristic which in itself makes King Jr more persuasive, and is making up a large part of his ethos. The thousands of people gathered to listen to his speech prove that he is a respected person, with lots of ethos.

Pathos: Pathos is a method of persuading. When using pathos, one tries to persuade one’s audience by emotionally appealing to them. King tries to stir the audience’s emotions by speaking of discriminations done to the black people, for example signs saying “Whites Only.” The rhetoric devices mentioned above, alliteration, allegory, and anaphora also have the effect of making the pathos more effective. The repeated phrase “I have a dream,” is an example of an anaphora which is effectively enhancing the pathos of Martin Luther King Jr.
