Understanding the Rule of Three in Social Commentary
In many social movements, speakers often repeat key phrases three times to emphasize urgency and importance. For example, a speaker might declare, 'We need change now. We need action now. We need justice now.' This pattern draws attention and reinforces the message, making it more memorable for the audience. The Rule of Three is a powerful device used to create rhythm and emphasis in speech and writing, especially when addressing critical social issues such as inequality, climate change, and human rights.
