How can one person, whom most people have never met, influence the lives of people in the world today in such positive ways? Oprah Winfrey has been able to persuade and inspire many people around the world today because she has simply believed in herself and the good of the people. Oprah once said, “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life because you become what you believe” (Lowe 170). The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Angel Network, and Oprah’s Book Club have been some of the most indoctrinating pieces of work by Oprah. Moreover, these creations have been the ultimate techniques Oprah has used to reach out to the people of the world. Oprah Winfrey, one of the most influential, dynamic, and powerful women of today’s

Both authors of, “In Cold Blood” and Season one of “Serial”, Truman Capote and Sarah Koenig, present true murder cases. However while both are murder cases the way they present their research is different. These two authors’ have some similarities for example they way the approached the murder and how close they became with the people in the murders. Therefore both Truman Capote and Sarah Koenig have similarities and differences in their stories.

One of the most influential and inspirational women of all time was Rosa Parks. By one action she helped change the lives of a majority of African Americans and more importantly society as a whole. Rosa Parks sparked the attention of America when she refused to settle for the black (lower class)standards. Not only did she help change the lives for many African Americans but she helped equality for all men and women in the United States. By one brave women our world will be forever thankful.

The pair that I have chosen is Agelina E. Grimké and Sojourner Truth. These two women are strong for standing up for what they believe in. Even though they came from different backgrounds of life, they fought for the same equal rights and freedom.

She knew her family was never safe where they lived. She was a brilliant young girl, she understood more than most adults. Even though she wasn’t the richest or the best dressing girl in town, her heart for everyone

Throughout history, there have been many people that have made an impact on the world today. Many of these individuals are well known while others are not spoken of as much. There is one person whom I think stands out the most for women. That person would be Sojourner Truth. During the year of 1797 Sojourner Truth was an African American woman who lived during the nineteenth century. Sojourner Truth was born Isabella Baumfree to the proud parents, James and Elizabeth Baumfree; she was born in a town called Esopus, NY. She died November 26, 1883 at the age of eight six at her home in Battle Creek, Michigan, leaving behind her five children. Unfortunately Truth was born into slavery; she was constantly traded between slave owners. Truth was later freed from slavery where she was forced to leave behind her husband, Thomas, and four of their children due to slavery. Over the many years that Truth was in slavery she was treated cruel and harsh. Although Truth faced many obstacles, that did not stop her. Truth worked really hard to make a huge difference in the world today. Sojourner Truth is known by many because she fought for the civil rights of others, and she used her knowledge to help inspire other slaves and women.

The women who we all think so highly of did not have a great starting out. Born on January 26, 1892 in Atlanta, Texas in a one-room, dirt-floored cabin to her parents, George and Susan, who were illiterate and children of slaves. Attempting to turn their

Although Florence Nightingale had dedicated her life to influence the way the world viewed nursing and Catherine McAuley changed the role of women in the Catholic church, they both made a tremendous impact on the society. Florence Nightingale and Catherine McAuley were both strong-minded and committed women that wanted to help the people that were dying around them; they share the same compassion, concern, and love for people. Florence and Catherine share not only somewhat similar personality traits, but also shared similar backgrounds. They both came from a privileged upbringing, refused marriages, and dedicated their lives for a purpose. Through their dedication, they became known as social reformers, especially in improving the role of

From a broad point of view, S. Truett Cathy and Christopher McCandless are extremely different people. Cathy was raised in the poor suburbs of Atlanta, whereas McCandless was raised in a wealthy home in Virginia. McCandless went into the Alaskan wilderness to forget his past life and also changes his name, whereas Cathy wanted to make a name for himself in the world. Cathy started with nothing and successfully gained everything imaginable, whereas McCandless had everything that anyone could hope for, but he gives it all away. Some people argue that with a narrow point of view, Cathy and McCandless share some ideal elements. S. Truett Cathy and Christopher McCandless embody the essentials of the American ideal through their belief on the importance

Mrs. Frankie Muse Freeman is the most inspiring person of 1964, because she changed the world when people were racially discriminating and when it was not common for women to be in positions of power; this was in a time that it was acceptable. Mrs. Freeman worked really hard in life to be a good person and do what’s right to fix these problems. She made the community better a lot like her parents, working many jobs including co-counseling in the NAACP. In addition, President Johnson asked her to be on the new U.S. civil rights commision. Even as she got older she still never quit helping others however, when she was still pretty young she opened her own law practice.

Furthermore, women went from being submissive to being influential. Women have changed the world. We have some of the most powerful and influential women, who have contribute to shaping our society, for example, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey. For instance, Oprah uses TV to help the lives of many Americans; her book club attracts millions of readers and because she is a benevolent billionaire, she gives a lot of money to charity. Oprah also built an all girls school in South Africa to give the underprivileged girls in South Africa a chance to purse a higher education. Oprah Winfrey’s Leadership Academy for Girls indicates that, “when you're

In today’s day and age one of the most influential women and people is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has had a big impact on today’s society and played a huge role in advancing it. Oprah Winfrey is a talk show host, producer, actress and philanthropist who are widely respected around the world. By becoming one of the biggest names in talk show history Oprah has paved the way for others and became one of the more popular women in talk show history. Her willingness to help others and to be sure others are guided in positive light shows how much passion she has to see the greater good in others. Oprah’s biggest role comes from helping to pursue the advancement of young women and girls. Oprah has taken the time to see to it that young women are out of poverty and opening up a brand new school for underprivileged females to see to it that they have the same opportunity that children in America and other parts of the world have. Being that African- Americans, let alone women were not seen as marketable, Oprah helped to change this dynamic early in her career by using her platform in communication to open doors for other people. Winfrey’s work over a number of years is the single most evident reason why she has been able to be successful in the field of mass communication. Oprah is one of the most influential women of our time because of how well she is able to contribute to the human rights of women and advancing them in today’s society.
