Framing Device of Typecasting with Inclusiveness --- President Biden makes several references to the greatness of America and this is a form of typecasting with a positive intention.

It is similar to the reference President Obama made in his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize.

This section in President Biden’s speech is particularly effective. He frames this section, and of course much of the speech, with the inclusive use of the pronoun “we”.

He begins, “we have come out stronger”, and continues with multiple references to the inclusive “we”. It is a positive reference and an effective use of typecasting as a framing device
