New draft, same paragraph ?

Leaders of every nationality and every generation have used extravagant language to voice their opinions. Leaders use the art of rhetoric to inspire and to unify their people to common goals or ideas. While powerful rhetoric can bring together a nation, it can also tear it apart. As stated by Adolf Hitler, “Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise”. This statement, even though uttered by a tyrant, has every ounce of truth. It explains how the use of language, for good or bad, for unity or division, for peace or war, can be used in both the real world and stories, for example, Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Rhetoric plays a vital role in the events of the play Julius Caesar and the world.
