Wangari Maathai Speech
In Wangari Maathai’s speech at the World Forum, she explored the idea of the mass waste of resources from the wealthy, and it is not being used efficiently if it was used wisely then the world crisis will be solved. Maathai believed that if the resources were not wasted massively, it will end poverty. As the wealthy’s riches are depleting, humans forget to address the real problems of the world. In the speech, Maathai stated that the reason there is no peace is because the world focuses on conflicts, instead of ending world crisis. The resources created competition, and this motivated the rich to be wealthier instead of learning to share, and this left the poor with no clean water, food, and medical care. World peace is not being achieved

    The role of the judge is to present the fact, formalize the event, and to organize the jury. “You may perhaps wish to hear from me exactly what is meant by those words ‘reasonable doubt’” (Sayers 3). At this point in the case, the judge is teaching the jury how to decide whether or not a person is innocent, guilty or proven not guilty. In my opinion I believe that the judge is biased. Shortly after describing the death of Philip Boyes by arsenical poison, he accuses Harriet Vane of being the murder. He says that is a fact she killed him and that the problem to solve in this case is whether or not she murdered him with intent or on accident. The judge at this point is teaching the jury about the case and what they are supposed to agree on to make the final decision whether or not Harriet…

    During the colonization of North America, the colonists created opportunities that not only benefited them, but these opportunities benefited the founding of the United States of America. The opportunities created ranged from free practice of religion by the Pilgrims to the chance of getting away from major debt within the lower class of England. The surreal amount of new resources the English had access to created opportunities in the production of goods and trade as well. Although these opportunities had some sort of gain for the Thirteen Colonies, the opportunity that created the largest benefit was the new government systems that originated in Virginia and Massachusetts. Every colony the English created had to acquiescence to a charter, a “written agreement between the colony and the king of England or Parliament.” (“The Colonial Experience”).…

    In the words of Dinesh D’Souza during a speech he delivered to the students and faculty of Liberty University’s Convocation: “…America is a country where you can be in the driver's seat of your own life in which your destiny is not given to you; it is constructed by you.” I agree with Mr. D’Souza wholeheartedly. For centuries, America has developed a reputation for being a place of refuge. America has become a sort of Haven, or a dream come true, for many. In no other part of the world can you receive the same level of freedom in all aspects of life than you can in America. This infamous “New World” offers the opportunity for a fresh start, religious freedom, and the opportunity to obtain wealth.…

    Robert Gray most definitely provokes thought and stirs emotion through an effective use of language and techniques used in his poems. One of his major messages are those connected with mans effect on the environment and our constant need to create something new and yet, forget about what we already have and where that ends up.

    Dr. King Speech

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of many accomplishments. From lighting the torch that helped changed the way we blacks and whites communicated, to sparking the civil rights movement, it's safe to say that Dr. King was well involved in helping change racism. During Dr. King's life, he had written many letters, but none were like the letter he wrote to his fellow clergymen. The letter that King wrote to his fellow clergymen was a reply to the statements made by the clergymen stating that Dr. King's actions were “unwise, and untimely”. Now according to Dr. King, he rarely ever took time to reply to negative backlash he received from others, but this particular criticism made a rather large impact in Dr. Kings life. Upon receiving the criticism, King wrote a very passionate letter stating in so many words that men in their position should have more compassion, wisdom, and positive impacts in America, instead of promoting, and condoning the negative behaviors. While writing this letter to the clergymen, King used a lot of detail, passion, and rhetoric, such as Logos, Ethos, and Pathos which I will convey in this paper. I will show examples of King's use of the rhetoric terms, as well as describe the effectiveness and importance of them.…

    Extreme global poverty is a problem that affects a large percentage of the world's population and will continue to spread until serious action is taken against it by the wealthier nations. However, the amount of obligation, if any, that countries feel they have to deal with such a problem is a main source of controversy and one of the reasons why poverty is taking so long to be reduced.…
