Marie Colvin Pros And Cons
If I can get the chance to sit down and talk with anybody in the world, I will choose Marie Colvin. Marie’s single-eyed appearance has been a signboard of journalism and she was one of the greatest war-correspondents in the US. However, her over 30 year career was ended by a rocket projectile in Syria in 2012.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Colvin Unlike other journalist, she chose to stay with the refugees so as to actually experience their life rather than living in the hotel safely and reporting news just by strolling around the ruins. Over a long period, Marie Colvin became a word that means bravery and courage. But after she passed away, I start to be curious and wonder a simple question. Has this fearless woman ever been afraid?

    Thanks Babe Ruth for creating a quote that best describes Melinda Hardwick's work ethic. Just today, I took Melinda two out of the norm accounts that needed unusual title corrections. Melinda immediately took ownership of both accounts with no complaint. She is using her knowledge base and customer service skills to work with the customers and DMVs to get the titles corrected. Thanks Melinda for never giving up on the "crazy" accounts.…

    She worked in field hospitals at battles such as the battle of Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Charleston, and many more. “I always tried . . . to succor the wounded until medical aid and supplies could come up—I could run the risk; it made no difference to anyone if I were shot or taken prisoner.”-Clara Barton, in her memoirs. At the battle of Antietam, Clara had been working in the midst of fighting and a bullet went through her sleeve on her dress and killed the man she was treating.

    Odysseus In The Odyssey: A Character Analysis

    Malala Yousafzai said, “We were scared, but our fear was not as strong as our courage.” To some people, courage is seen in everyday acts of bravery. When a person does what seems to be a brave act during a calamity, without proper training, it is not bravery. It. Is. Courage. Courage is doing something that is dangerous and noble, but not irrational. It should also make you a better person, or the world a better place.…

    Why Do Heroes Aren T Brave

    Heroes aren’t brave because they have no fear, but because they are willing to overcome that fear. The denotation of courage is ‘the ability to do something that frightens one.’ A hero doesn’t display courage if he isn’t fearful of his circumstances or the actions he must take. The triumph over fear, overcoming something hard, dangerous, or frightening, is what shows bravery. Willingly going against fear-no matter how big it is-to rescue, save, or bring justice, is heroic. The former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” A cowardice may seem to have the simple way out, being subject to backing out and not having to face difficult situations, however, the act of bravery bears more fruit in character. While a coward reaps nothing more than a failure mentality, a hero-someone brave- overcomes fear and grows a mentality of endurance. After shying away from trials, a coward sees that he can’t do strenuous work (or won’t) and doesn’t try again, but a brave man sees that he can overcome hard things and is encouraged to jump over more hurdles.…

    Equal Rights For Women Analysis

    Chisholm stated that women are subject to demeaning experiences no matter where they are. For example, when a woman walks into an office for an interview, “the first questions she will be asked is, ‘Do you type?’” This is demeaning because this makes women think that they cannot achieve greater things in life even if they want to. Another example of this is that the “unspoken assumption is that women are different” and too emotional. When women find out about these things, it puts them down. Although it puts them down, Chisholm was there to bring their spirit back up again. Chisholm also brought up a point about how women are “submitted to oppression and even cooperated with it.” This should not be the case because women should always feel as though they can do what they want when they want to do it. They should not accept that men think that they are not equal even though they are. Women need to fight for what they believe in and not give in to others thought and beliefs. The women have to stand up to the people who think they are not worthy enough to be equal to men. Even if they are standing up to the women that are submitting to the fact that men think they are not equal, it is worth it. This would make them even more brave because they would be standing up to their own. By standing up to their own, they are showing everyone, especially the women, that others opinions do not matter to them, they have their own opinions. She is saying stand up to anyone who thinks that you are not capable of doing what you know you can do. Although bravery is present in realistic situations, bravery is also present in fictional characters in literary works. An example of one of these literary works is the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.…

    Fear: Courage Is Powered By Fear

    Fear exists in everyone. No one lives without fear. Being fearless is not required to be courageous, one has to overcome fears in order to possess courage. Risks are involved when overcoming fears and going against the norm. Risks come in different types, risking life, risking reputations, risking limb. The greatest risk “is not taking any risk” (Mark Zuckerberg). A person must have courage to endure each particular risk. A person who is not courageous enough to take risks will “accomplish nothing in life” (Muhammad Ali). Courage happens anytime, anywhere, and any day. Courage is experienced by all; no matter how young, old, wise, or foolish. The effect of courage may not be positive, however, the outcome is remembered. The rewards have the potential to be great, but so do the…
