"In the remaking of the American dream" (in)equality in the presidential announcement speeches of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders

Tutkielman tavoitteena on tunnistaa miten nykyinen Yhdysvaltain presidentti, Donald John Trump ja senaattori Bernard “Bernie” Sanders ilmaisivat puheissaan tasa-arvoa ja epätasa-arvoa toimenpideratkaisuehdotuksissaan kun he asettuivat ehdolle presidentinvaaleihin vuonna 2015. Tarkastelen myös hei...

description Tutkielman tavoitteena on tunnistaa miten nykyinen Yhdysvaltain presidentti, Donald John Trump ja senaattori Bernard “Bernie” Sanders ilmaisivat puheissaan tasa-arvoa ja epätasa-arvoa toimenpideratkaisuehdotuksissaan kun he asettuivat ehdolle presidentinvaaleihin vuonna 2015. Tarkastelen myös heidän amerikkalaisia unelmiaan ja keskityn erityisesti heidän unelmiensa tasa-arvo-ominaisuuteen, mahdollisuuksien tasa-arvoon, jota vertaan vaihtoehtoiseen lopputulosten tasa-arvoon. Analysoin puheet laadullisen tutkimusmetodin, sisällönanalyysin avulla ja yhdistän tulokset Göran Therbornin tasa-arvon ja epätasa-arvon mekanismeihin. Tämän jälkeen vertaan mekanismeja elämänehtojen ja resurssien eriarvoisuuteen sekä eksistentiaaliseen eriarvoisuuteen. Mahdollisuuksien ja lopputulosten tasa-/epätasa-arvot sisältyvät resurssien eriarvoisuuteen. Tutkimuksen tulos on, että vaikka ehdokkailla on samankaltaisiakin ratkaisuehdotuksia, käyttää Sanders enemmän tasa-arvon mekanismeja kuin Trump, mihin vaikuttavat heidän erilaiset lähestymistapansa retoriikassa ja politiikassa. Sisällönanalyysin lisäksi Trumpin puheesta muodostuu kaksi päänarratiivia, jotka ovat pätevyyden ja epäpätevyyden narratiivit. On ensiarvoisen tärkeää saada lisää tietoa ehdokkaiden taustamotiiveista, asenteista ja arvoista. Kun ne tehdään läpinäkyviksi, on helpompaa osallistua politiikan tekoon äänestäjänä. Avainsanat: amerikkalainen unelma, mahdollisuuksien tasa-arvo, lopputulosten tasa- arvo, elämänehtojen eriarvoisuus, eksistentiaalinen eriarvoisuus, resurssien eriarvoisuus The aim of the following thesis is to identify how the incumbent President of the United States, Donald John Trump and Senator Bernard “Bernie” Sanders expressed (in)equality through their policy solutions in the presidential announcement speeches in 2015. I also assess their American dreams and concentrate particularly on the equality feature of the dream, namely equality of opportunity and contrast it with an alternative, equality of results. I analyze the speeches with a qualitative method, a content analysis which I merge with Göran Therborn’s mechanisms of (in)equality. Then I compare the mechanisms to vital, existential and resource inequality. Resource inequality includes the features of (in)equality of results and opportunity. The result of the research is that even though the candidates suggest also similar solutions, uses Sanders more often the mechanisms of equality than Trump due to the different approaches in rhetoric and politics. Trump’s speech also produces two main narratives of competence and incompetence. It is imperative to receive more information of the deeper motives, attitudes and values of the political speeches. Once they become transparent, it is easier to take a position as a voter. Keywords: the American dream, equality of opportunity, equality of results, vital inequality, existential inequality, resource inequality
