The “Good Man” would be a major thought of the Roman rhetoricians because this man will be of the elite that is making the laws of Rome. Judicial ways of rhetoric are major for the Romans. The civic aspect plays in because it is seen as a duty for those of the elite class. Justice and morality were the basis of a community according to Cicero. This shows that they are heavy hitters in the rhetoric of the Romans.

In my culture, some of the major themes that rhetoric discusses is doing the right things and having the qualities of a moral person. The reiteration of the aspects should possess are shown in Irish pieces and there is a punishment in the Irish tales if a person slips into immorality.

The ideas are alike because both Roman and Irish rhetoric believe that people should have morals and find justice. The difference is that in Irish rhetoric these principles can be seen in the Irish stories but for the Romans the good qualities can be shown by how one uses them in the arena of law.

Understanding how rhetorical traditions are alike and different is a major part of reaching the decolonization that is class is working to accomplish.
