The Seneca orator known as Red Jacket, for the red jacket the British Awarded to him for his services as a message runner during the Revolutionary War and Benjamin Franklin both made very valid point in their speeches. The Indians had a very peaceful way of life. They had their own governing and civility system and they taught their young the way of their ancestors, never taking what “The Great Spirit” (pg 230) gave them for granted. They always welcomed strangers; giving them clothes, shelter and food without ever expecting anything in return. Even when this visitors broke their most basic of common rules like announcing their presence before entering a village. “We took pity on them, granted their request; and they sat down among us.…
Alexandra Cousteau is a filmmaker that works with National Geographic. She is recognized for being an advocate of water issues and continuing her grandfather’s work. The speech was held at WSRE Jean and Paul Amos Performance Studio and was sponsored by WSRE Public Square Speakers Series. The studio was like a movie theater with seats going all the way up with the Middle Island where the audio in camera was. The stage had a red rectangle in the middle and a podium off to the right with a big screen in the background. The general purpose of the speech was to give her background and also bring up some of the issues that are plaguing our water systems today. The speaker’s specific purpose was to inform but hopefully persuade people to take action.…

Have you ever been challenged by an experience? Have you ever changed because of this experience? Good morning to the representives of the Board of studies,.... and I wish to justify why the texts I have studied should be kept on the reading list of this module “Into the World”. “The Story of Tom Brennan” by J.C Burke and the feature article of “Sliver Linings” found in the of Sydney Morning Herald’s “The Good Weekend” both emphasise the idea that people are able to come out of difficult situations and see the world from a new perspective.…
Within the speech by Canassatego, the voices of the Natives was not the only thing captured; the feelings and the effects of colonization was also heard.…
The piece by Castillo is a personal reflection that offers a peculiar and particular point of view from one person, and that represents how people permeates their surrounding reality, in this case the Mexican Revolution. These kinds of sources are extremely valuable in order to listen to the average voices. Especially in the case of underprivileged groups, such as indigenous populations and women, sometimes this is the only opportunity to grasp intimate daily moments, practices, and customs.…
This document was titled “Nuestra Lucha Permanente por Dignidad, Independencia y Sobernía” (Our Permanent Struggle for Dignity, Independence, and Sovereignty). During September 1999, RSCC planned to show the three-part documentary La Batalla de Chile which captures the political unrest leading up to the violent counter-revolution against Chile’s peaceful socialist revolution. This film was intended to educate viewers on Chilean history and the RSCC planned to show it in three parts throughout the month. In mid-September, La Raza scheduled a presentation on “Human Rights in Latin America: An Analysis of Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet’s Case” to be presented by Professor Kathryn Sikkink. Sikkink’s presentation analyzed how the “on-going” case surrounding the Chilean dictator would influence human rights claims in international law. The cultural center also held multiple panel discussions throughout the month of September. The first, on September 13, 1999, was on the topic of “Social Conditions of Chican@/Latin@ Workers in the Americas” and was led by two professors who had conducted extensive research on the topic. Their discussion intended to provide insight into the multiple social costs of contemporary globalization needs. The second panel discussion took place on September 15 and analyzed contemporary…
The Dominican Republic of the mid 1950’s reflected on all horrible events a dictator . can bring. Dictator Rafael Trujillo worked his way up and caused his people great fear. Lord Acton once said, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” Trujillo’s abuse of power caused him to become a corrupt man. In the novel In the Time of Butterflies written by Julia Alvarez, Trujillo’s abuse of power created loss of many substantial rights for the people of the Dominican Republic including loss of freedom of speech, loss of women rights, and loss of prisoner’s rights which proved that Trujillo was a bad man.…
The speaker today is Kevin Garrett, a Christian Businessman and Entrepreneur and the President for the development of Cold Stone Creameries all around America. This lecture is about failure, and learning to succeed in the midst of failure. Mr. Garrett states that failure is required to achieve success, and I like that he talks about this, because there is a lot of failure that happens throughout life. All people fail, but only those who stand up courageously after failure can truly succeed in life. Suffering is also a part of failure, but failure does not equal suffering. Since the fall of man, people have suffered much because of the sin of man, and no one can escape this fate, even though it may be no fault of your own. While humans fall often, God can use our suffering to bring about great successes, as long as we put our faith in Christ and leave the results up to Him.…
This portrays that the generals were corrupt, powerful and influential to hide the truth that they were the ones who were responsible for the death of two singers and captivity of one singer. Overall, the writer has used some dramatic irony and created tension to keep the readers interested, therefore it brings up a lot of suspense, and also helps the readers visualize how the life used to be in Chile many years ago, when Augusto Pinochet used to rule Chile. The writer also emphasizes on how corrupt, crooked and taint the dictators and government…
Charles Martin’s poem, “Victoria’s Secret,” presents a witty dichotomy between bedroom values in Victorian times and in the present. Martin first paints for his readers a picture of women’s sexuality in the Victorian times: Women were to lie perfectly flat when their husbands were “getting it off on them” (line 2). They were even urged to imagine themselves doing something fun during the process, like buying a new hat. This humorous depiction of men’s callous disregard for women in Victorian sex is contrasted by Martin’s description of modern sex, of Victoria Secret models traipsing along in their lingerie, showing off their “fullbreasted,” “airbrushed” bodies, baring their sexuality for all to see. But through this juxtaposition of time eras and strong correlation between content and form, Martin unearths an insightful question: Are women sexually liberated? Martin masterfully employs the prosodic tools of meter, metrical substitutions, rhyme, and an implied metaphor to to guide his readers to reevaluate the veracity of our “sexual liberation.”…
Pride and stubbornness can be harmful things, and Haemon touches upon this within his speech to Creon as he attempts to dissuade his father from taking Antigone’s life. Using rhetorical devices such as tone, ethical, emotional, logical appeal, and metaphor, Haemon manages to make an impact on Creon’s eventual decision as he speaks in Antigone’s defense.…
As demonstrated in this essay, the democracy in the Chilean government broke down because of the low levels of economic development, which resulted in the inequality between social classes. This inequality led to President Salvador Allende’s attempt to reduce the power of the wealthy and to create socialized sectors of the economy. However, despite his attempts the economy continued to weaken and the resistance among Chile’s elites against Salvador Allende grew. Because of this resistance, the government’s ability to govern became crippled which resulted in a…

It’s not one race that has been not able to fit in to our society. There have been few races and people that have been not able to be treated fairly and fit in. We all are different races that belong in one colony and one world we all should be united not fighting each other trying to tear each other apart. This what I think is very similar to MlK and ‘’A quilt of a country’’ speech.…
