On August 19, 1992, a woman named Mary Fisher spoke on a rather sensitive topic in an attempt to change the world. In an address to the Republican National Convention, Fisher lectured on a subject close to her heart, HIV and AIDS. Mary Fisher is an artist, author, and of course political activist. She contracted HIV from her second husband and has since been on a mission to educate people about prevention of the disease and the treatment of people that have HIV or AIDS. Fisher was speaking at the convention in Houston, Texas in an attempt to get people to take action. Fisher wanted people to be informed about the diseases and have a genuine care about those infected. I found her speech exceedingly compelling as well as an exceptional display

On August 19, 1992 in Houston, Texas people gathered to hear Mary Fisher give her speech “A Whisper of Aids” at the Republican National Convention. The purpose of her speech was to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS and to make people speak up about it, “I asked the Republican Party to lift the shroud of silence to an end” (1). Fisher’s audience was anyone who would and could make a difference. Anyone who would speak up and not be silent on this issue. Someone who would bring awareness of HIV and AIDS. Her father once said “They came after the Jews, and I was not a Jew, so, I did not protest. They came after the trade unionists, and I was not a trade unionists, so, I did not protest. Then they came after the Roman Catholics, and I was not a

Individuals look at a home has a place of shelter and a place of refuge after a long day. In Marilyn Dumont case, her home is more than just a home. It’s a sense of serenity. The poem is about a mother who is faced with a huge loss of her child. The loss that happens in the poem are some that individuals in that situation would not want to face alone. Coping with such a tragedy in her case would be through her child carrying in his or her life through the land that the speaker holds so close to her. In the poem “Not just a Platform for my Dance”, Marilyn Dumont uses landscape and nature as a coping method to help find serenity.

Rachel Botsman’s theory of collaborative consumption is made up of different systems that interact within the different social systems of social work individually and simultaneously. The idea of collaborative consumption is a way for individuals to swap, barter, rent, and purchase items from the convenience of their home or while on the go (2010). From a micro system, Botsman is referring to the individuals who are actively participating in collaborative consumption. By bringing individuals together on a micro level in order to share resources, Botsman’s theory demonstrates how people can work together. Whereas, from a mezzo system Botsman’s theory works to bring any small group together under some common ground. An example of a mezzo system

“… the Negro stepped on his foot in the store. When he, McCarty, shove the Negro off his foot, the Negro struck him a blow in the forehead and knocked him down.

Clarence Hervey supposes himself to be a Renaissance man, when in authenticity, he is nothing more than a charlatan. In this passage from her novel Belinda, Maria Edgeworth develops the many characters of Mr. Hervey through generalized language, references to Mr. Hervey’s inconstancy and Mr. Hervey’s ironic and hypocritical fears of Belinda.

The year was 1991 when Mary Fisher tested positive for HIV. Fisher is the daughter of Max Fisher, a powerful and wealthy republican. She isn 't the normal face of AIDS, and in 1992 she spoke out of her disease at the Republican National Convention. Fisher 's speech, A Whisper of AIDS, is considered one of the top speeches of the 20th century. When Fisher gave her speech, she spoke to a crowd that didn 't believe AIDS was going to affect their lives. When listening and reading the speech, one must take into context the time period, during the 90s testing positive for HIV/AIDS meant death. At the time there were no treatments to help prolong those

In this paper, I’m going to discuss the argument that the famous American anthropologist, Ruth Benedict, has put forth regarding ‘ethical relativism’. Ethical relativism is the theory that holds that morality is relative to the norms and values of one's culture or society. That is, whether an action is classified as right or wrong depends on the moral norms of the society in which it is practiced. The same action may be morally right in one society but be morally wrong in another. For the ethical relativist, there are no universal moral standards -- standards that can be universally applied to

Instead of holding on to all 3,000 issued stock options, Ms. Jameson could keep a portion of the stock options and trade some in the market. Keeping some Telstar stock options would help keep her tied to the company without making her feel that she is bound to the company for the next five years or that she is facing enormous risk of losing her bonus altogether. By doing this, Ms. Jameson would provide herself with the opportunity to make investments outside of Telstar, and thus, better diversify her

Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World is a fictional book, written by Jennifer Armstrong. It tells the true and extraordinary tale of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Sir Ernest Shackleton 1914-17. All of the men worked extremely hard to get back home alive, but three men stood out the most. Those three men are: Sir Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, and Tom Crean. These men were definitely the most essential to the entire expedition, and took part in almost every single task executed.

Louise Mallard is Kate Chopin short story's protagonist. As noted earlier, Louise has a heart trouble during the time when her friends are to break her husband's death news to her. She reacts to the news despite her heart condition with a flood of grief. She quickly retreats to her room which indicates repressiveness which she is accustomed to. She briefly feels guilt out of experiencing joy at the freedom which is brought by the death of her husband. She is later faced with some complex mix of love and resentment emotions which are elicited by the thoughts of Brently's tenderness with absolute control of her life from her husband. She ultimately welcomes her independence which she has newly found and then takes on the newly self-possessed individual's life. This essay will emphasize my argument on how the story shows some aspect of mental change in character, and I will identify where this starts in the character, what happens to cause the change, what the change is, and the consequences of this change for the character.

You only live once. This is scarcely realized and truly understood by people living without any life threatening moments, those who do have come to realize on something the rest of us can only dream of. While he is not a previously published world-wide famous author, something happened to Dax Herman causing him to express his regrets in the form of a poem. He writes about a young boy, full of hopes and aspirations. The boy wants to travel the world. However as time goes on and as the boy grows to become a man, the possibility of fulfilling all of his childhood dreams vanishes as reality dawns on him and he is no longer free of life and responsibility. In his work, Herman writes about the importance of following one’s dreams through his use

This letter is written to discuss the popular upcoming rendition of Twelfth Night. All of the casting is done except for the role of Viola. Thus, it is an honour to recommend Gillian Watson for this part. It would be greatly appreciated, if she could audition for the part of Viola in order to demonstrate her abilities. She is an exceptionally talented and powerful actor and furthermore, is conscientious. She has greatly studied the play and knows it like the back of her hand, especially Viola’s part. Therefore, Gillian would be an ideal choice to play Viola because she easily recognizes Viola’s subtle temperament that other actors do not, such as her selflessness, cleverness, and resourcefulness.
