Analysis Of Nicholas Kristof 's Lecture On September 14th, 2015 Evening

When looking back at history, people try to explain how the world developed into what it is today in comparison to how it began. Although a variety of concepts are discussed regarding this topic, usually people tend to argue without using an economic or entrepreneurial approach. What I mean here is that people focus a lot on the idea of slavery or the history of empires, which seems to disrupt the truth of what actually developed the modern world. Therefore, in the article, “Liberty and Dignity Explain the Modern World”, it discusses how people have to comprehend the changes in people’s thought processes regarding things like innovation, which as a result will allow for a more in depth look at the development of the world.

In my opinion, Mr. Kristof’s tone is inappropriate for this issue. Although I do agree with the author, in my opinion taking a serious tone would go further in conveying his view. Many individuals take this topic close to heart and would not appreciate the light hatred jokes. I personally already believed that hunting animals to balance out the ecosystem and should be a modern practice. Some specific statements in the article did stick out at me; one example of the statements was when Kristof stated that the human killed the predator but did not take over the role of hunter. One implicit assumption Kristof makes in this article is when he sais it is estimated that one hundred fifty people a year in car crashes. I agree with Kristof if

Peter Singer's persuasive essay strips us bare of our selfish wants as he equates our tendency to accumulate all the stuff we don’t need with ignoring the plight of drowning children and, as such, being responsible for the death of those children. We are, Singer convincingly argues, products of our fortunate “social capital”; therefore, we have an obligation to those who do not have a social capital.

From the streets of New York, to the mud homes in South Africa, poverty is a problem the world has been facing since the beginning. We see people pushing buggies full of items from their past lives, or we see children on the television struggling to survive due to the lack of food or clean water in their country. Yet, only a handful of us actually defend these children in a world that heavily depends on the idea that people should take care of themselves, rather than worrying about others. The world of poverty can be treated instead of neglected if we set aside that selfish-capitalistic mindset and use our time and money for our useless wants, to fulfil someone else’s specific needs so that the future generations of children don’t have to suffer in horrible living conditions. Singer, the author of this essay, prevails the idea of ethos, pathos, and logos during each explanation as well as showing his readers the idea that we as humans should do the greater good and live up to our ethical moral obligations in the society that we live in.

From a close look at the current situation in the world - globalization is drawing more and more countries, and on the other hand, more and more are getting further from each other in terms of life level. In the story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" Ursula LeGuin reminds her readers that walking away from a problem is not a solution of it. Omelas’ well-being in some supernatural way is associated with the life of one child, who is caring a lonely existence in a dark basement. However, citizens of this city did not dare to change lives or try to come to the child with a gentle word. Otherwise, the happiness for the whole city would be over. At the same time, all the people of the city knew this child. The author raises many humanitarian questions that will influence the civilization’s future survival: will people do something about a problem or keep walking away and enjoy their happiness for someone’s suffering?

That said, Kristof already had the help of the article being about children. This alone already had the gears of emotion churning within the audience. Nevertheless, to drive his point home he writes using diction that entices an intense emotional response: “Most wrenching of all are the parent who think it’s best if a child stays illiterate, because then the family may be able to claim a disability check each month.” Wow! The audience feels this. The word wrenching makes the reader feel an immense amount of anger. Additionally, they pity the children who are being used as tools by their parent. Moreover, Kristof brings to light that the people of the United States “talk more about poverty in Africa” than they do here at home. He is not against fighting poverty in Africa, but he is just simply saying that the United States must take care of its own as well. The average reader will ask themselves, “When was the last time I saw something about reducing poverty here at home?” Many of them will not be able to recall. The audience will react to this realization and probably shake their heads in disappointment. But there is one quote in the article that really seals the deal on the pathos side of things, the last few sentences of the article. Kristof writes, “There’s time to transform their [the unborn twins] lives, and they – and millions like them – should be a national priority. They’re too small to fail.” Kristof

In 13 economical and clearly written chapters that rely mainly on secondary accounts and published documenta-ry collections along with some archival sources, Daigler covers the key specifc topics of the intelligence war in the broad areas of espionage, covert action, and coun-terintelligence: the Boston Mechanics spy ring and the British penetration agent in its midst, Benjamin Church; martyr-spy Nathan Hale; France’s sub rosa provision of essential military aid; Benjamin Franklin’s propaganda and other covert activities as “chief of Paris Station”; George Washington’s intuitive grasp of the intelligence business and his clever use of deception and disinforma-tion to choose the right moment to strike at while keep-ing away from the always stronger

The issue of homelessness and beggars has been a problem within many countries for hundreds of years. There has been countless proposals and methods for dealing with and solving this matter, but it never works entirely. Some countries have come up with multiple ways to help them with governmental assistance, private organizations, churches or even support groups. However, to see a drastic change in homelessness or any issue, requires a drastic change in the way that is handled. In today’s society, when a child is born unto parents who cannot support them, the Child Protection Services will likely take them to an orphanage where they will in hopes have a better future. However, there are some in other time periods who would suggest something

the past the goal has yet to be met. The author also recognizes that child welfare

Soldner began her TED Talk by using ethos as a form of persuasion with the audience. She does this by describing walking into the World Food Program building in Rome, Italy as a confident Ph.D. student, armed with a prototype tool developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In her description of this event, she is able to connect with the audience and build rapport by using a style of speech and tone that includes a mix of humor, humility, and a clear understanding of logistics optimization. Soldner’s story allowed her to use ethos with the audience in a subtle but entertaining way. Soldner used her story to highlight her experience and understanding of the needs of humanitarian organizations, and the value

What is thought to be “conventional” wisdom, is also usually thought as they key to success in economic and social issues. However, in the book the idea of incentives, and collecting and interpreting data are said to be extremely important. With incentives, whether they be money, guaranteed

Change occurs rapidly and sometimes it seems that change is the only constant. The world experiences transformation everyday, and in most cases, for the better. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee describes the beginning of a change in the mindset of common people in America during the 20th century that has greatly benefited the whole nation. Also, with the newly legalised gay marriage in the United States, our society is becoming a more equitable and fairer place for all. Lastly, with the establishment of competitions and awards such as the Google Science Fair, the power and innovation of the young are being realised and harnessed for the betterment of the world.

In “The Singer Solution to World Poverty,” Peter Singer urges all Americans to donate any money not being used for sustenance to help children overseas. When I read this article in my AP Language and Composition class last year, I realized the duty I had as a privileged individual, to help these underserved communities. However, this was not something my friends and I could engage in-- we were all broke and didn’t even have jobs, not to mention the harrowing expense of future college tuitions haunting our dreams. But this didn’t mean we couldn’t help save children’s lives. I found three other colleagues who shared my goal of helping kids globally and we collaborated to co-found our high school’s own UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund) club.

Craig Kielburger is a social activist, who mainly focuses on humanitarian and children’s rights. Craig Kielburger mainly focuses on options for the poor and vulnerable children by creating organizations and publishing books and columns to advocate against child labor. Craig Kielburger was born in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada in 1982 and when he was twelve years old, Craig was inspired to create ‘Kids Can Free the Children’ which later became ‘Free the Children’. Craig was inspired to become involved as an activist for children’s rights when he heard on the news about the death of Iqbal Masih, a young Pakistani boy who was murdered for his work on the freedom and rights of child laborers because this tore Kielburger apart and it made it realize that no one was standing up for the poor child laborers.Therefore, Kielburger demonstrated a response to long-term

In the article “Low-Wage Workers Are Finding Poverty Harder to Escape,” Greenhouse (2014) pointed out that worker who is older and more educated are making low wages. In recent years it has become a high poverty rate and that because of the strength low-wage work on the state and also convert demographics and other factors. The spread of low-wage jobs to the high rate of poverty has contributed there are some graduates do not find jobs suitable to their testimony. Also, he mentions that students who want to get new job by high school face problems when employment due to the evolution of machinery. He also said that there are many to display instead of paying study costs paid to treat children who suffer from diseases and health problems.
