Group Introduction:
Some including mother Teresa who donated all her time and care to charity or Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani school girl who stood up against gender inequality and Rosa Parks who fought against racism. These women are role models to all and without them; there would be no women independence.

My speech:
How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart? ... When she starts her sentence with ‘A man once told me’. The irony of this joke is not lost as we begin a new century with the implication that women are perceived as weak and are treated appallingly by men. Women have always been the underdogs when it comes to men with the statistical fact that a women in the same job role as a man would be paid less. We’re supposed to be living in a society where gender and race shouldn’t be discriminated, but this is our reality. The visual text encourages the viewer to go and watch the film, which is advertised on the Internet because it reaches a wider variety of people as technology is becoming increasingly popular in our contemporary society. The visual text ‘Divergent’ by Neil Burger explores the reality where women are independent and hold power which positions the viewer to feel joyous, told through the use of setting, body language and technical codes.

The visual text uses setting to portray the women as powerful and independent within her reality which encourages women within our society to also gain power. We see the women standing over a modern day city to represent that she has control and power over what the city entails. The dark clouds suggest that the women can take on anything that comes her way and the Ferris wheel advocates that the women can overcome any obstacle in her path. This thrills the viewer as we see this women combat against gender inequality, compared to our contemporary society where women would never be able to hold this much power as they’re stereotyped as beautiful and brainless. However, the glimmering

    The speech I chose was on September 9, 1997 from Queen Elizabeth II after Princess Diana’s death . The speech was more of an informal speech of her willingness to open herself up to the people of England during this great tragedy. The speech was effective in giving the queen a chance to show her compassion during the mourning of Princess Diana and this softened her image to the British people. The speech was something the public would not have been familiar with. The British thought Queen Elizabeth had an estranged relationship with the princess. I didn’t see any research in this speech. I do believe it was pressure that drove the queen to a public speech.…

    Women have done amazing things, even though they are not always recognized or compensated equally that does not stop them. Running countries, (Queen Elizabeth of England ) demolishing stereotypes, and obtaining the right to vote are some of the very incredible things that women have accomplished. Kate Sheppard, Rosa Parks. Eleanor Roosevelt, and Hillary Clinton are all women who have affected the feminism movement after Rosie the Riveter. Not only did Rosie the Riveter initiate the feminist movement, but she still is changing the perception of women in American society today.…

    While women have achieved equality along with political and social independence in many ways over the past century, contemporary feminist movements continue to blossom as gender expectations and stereotypes remain deeply embedded in our culture. Today and in the past, feminist notions about the social norms that limit women's possibilities have yearned for expression and have found this through various artistic outlets. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Story of An Hour by Kate Chopin, and the 1944 Film Gaslight are three artistic works that relay feminist themes in a unique way. These three works differ in certain aspects, but all ultimately embody the same underlying theme of the oppression and liberation.…

    Good afternoon teachers and year 12 students, today I would like to share with you my experience on what I have discovered about discovery. My perception of discovery has changed overtime ever since childhood to this present. As a child, I have always thought discovery was the act of uncovering a secret or a special item, or creating a spectacular scientific invention that would amaze and inspire other people. As years passed, I have realised that discovery is something not required to be planned or have a specific aim, but rather something that can be unexpected, challenged, lost/ forgotten or questioned. It could even include self-discovery about an individual or a group that motivates them to explore information and concepts by embracing new knowledge. Through the poem “The Meatworks” composed by Robert Gray and the Novel “1984” written by George Orwell, it enabled to me to develop a further understanding of discovery.…
