Power and Influence:
How Ronald Reagan used Power and Influence to change America
by: Rachel Schumpert
Ronald Reagan was arguably one of the best Presidents that America has ever seen. He used his power and influence to bring back conservative republican ideas into the White House. Part of what made Reagan such an influential president, was his ability to speak to the people of America. In almost every single public speaking class, you will probably view one of the many addresses that Reagan made to the people about various crisis' that took place while he was in office. He had a way of communicating with the people that made them feel comfortable, and at ease. He strategically used his power and position as leader of the free world, to make sure that during the Cold War, America trusted him and believed in his ideas and strategies. Through Reagan's direction, the Cold War finally came to an end, and many people believe that he was to thank for that. In fact, Reagan influenced the people so positively on Republican ideals, that America elected to keep a Republican in office from 1980, when Reagan was inaugurated, to 1992 when Bill Clinton took office, George Bush being elected after Reagan. To this day, Republicans running for president use a personal comparison to Reagan to win voters over. Ronald Reagan was an excellent example of how a leader can use his power to effectively solve problems and inspire his followers. Ronald Reagan will always be remembered as the president who turned this country around by using a relateable, grandfather-like approach to leadership.
