Abstract

This study examines Joe Biden's speech delivered during his visit to a Steamfitters training facility in Virginia by using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This research aims to analyze the substance of Biden's speech in the economic sector by examining the text and sociocultural context, using qualitative research methodology by applying Norman Fairclough's framework of critical discourse analysis. Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) comprises three fundamental components: texts, discourse practices, and sociocultural practices. By using this theory, it is clear that Biden's diction includes specific word categorization through modality, repetition, and the use of first-person singular pronouns to show his full authority and power and to criticize Congressional Republicans. In addition, Biden's speech also served as a political speech and strategic means to rally citizens' support in the United States.

Abstract

This research discusses the impact of the 9/11 tragedy on Muslims in America, especially Arab-American Muslims. The two major characters as an Arab-American Muslim get bad behavior from the surrounding community who have already given bad prejudice against them. This is clear because the perpetrators of the 9/11 tragedy were Arab terrorists who acted in the name of Islam for their actions. This qualitative study uses it as a methodological framework to explore whether there is resistance from Muslims who receive bad treatment from society. The data and evidence that has been collected comes from the novel Once in a Promised Land, as well as from studies that intersect with the topic of this research. Edward Said's Orientalism Theory is used to reveal orientalist prejudice against Arab-Americans by engaging with Postcolonial Studies. The novel challenges orientalist prejudice by showing Islamic values through its major character. This resulted in findings which revealed that the bad prejudice about Islam caused by the 9/11 tragedy was countered by good character traits. Hence, the findings show that although the two major characters get a lot of prejudice and bad behavior from the surrounding community, this novel depicts them as opponents of oriental prejudice by showing the nature of Muslims which reflects the Islamic Values.
