In August 2010, Mayor Michael Bloomberg delivered a speech about the Islamic community center set to be built near
ground zero in New York City.
Bloomberg uses classical arrangement, induction and deduction, Rogerian argument, and the Toulmin model to make his
argument. Read the speech carefully, considering which approach best helps Bloomberg construct his argument. Then,
write one paragraph (8-10 sentences) in which you discuss Bloomberg's use of this approach and analyze how it helps
convey his overall message about cultural and religious diversity in New York City.
