Craig Kielburger's Speech Analysis

No matter what a person’s race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation is, everyone should enjoy equality. In the speech Speech Upon the Removal of Confederate Monuments by Mitch Landrieu, the Mayor of New Orleans, the removal of the Confederate monuments in New Orleans is discussed. The speech emphasises the fact that the Confederacy was wrong pertaining to their treatment of African Americans, and instead of teaching history, the Confederate monuments convey an image of inequality and violence. Mitch Landrieu argues for the deconstruction of historic Confederate monuments through his allusions to past historic events to contrast the modern shift of equality, so he can call the people to action to deconstruct the monuments. Through the

Alexander H. Stephen, in the ‘Cornerstone Speech’, firmly stated that, the Confederacy was basically on racial inequality and slavery. He clearly outlined the existing differences between the new nation and the American United States. Stephen made it clear that, the Confederacy of the cornerstone was not primarily of chattel slavery, but the black people subordination benefited the white people. Thus, he tied slavery to race. Confederacy was the origin of the era of apartheid in South Africa. Stephen made declarations that the new government was founded on the great truth , that the negro was not equal on the side of the white people and that, slavery which was to be a subordination to the white race which was superior, was a normal and a natural condition. Stephen criticized the claims of the northern that, African enslavement was a law violation nature and that it was a wrong principle, morally, politically and socially. He clearly put across that his new government had an idea which was exactly different from the northern claims. He argued that, it was a kind of insanity to believe that the Negro will be equal between the white and black people and also that, enslaving the blacks was wrong. He made predictions that, the Confederate constitution has settled all the questions relating to the African slavery which existed among the white people. Stephen’s arguments led to the outbreak of the civil war in 1865 (The Teaching AmericanHistory.org, 2017).

Cornel West spoke at Texas A&M University-Commerce as a guest speaker on September 28th in order to discuss why race matters in 2016. He talked about different subjects including race in politics, social justice, social economics, police accountability, and prominent social justice warriors. Filling the shoes of Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. West kindly educated the students and faculty by discussing the current racial justice movement, what the movement stands for, and what they intend to do. The insight that Dr. West offered helped me better understand the difficulties of racial tension, and what we can do to stop both racial and social injustice. What I found particularly interesting about his speech was the way that he captivated the audience.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County. Kentucky. He comes from a family that was neither wealthy of well recognized. Despite this, he had a longing for knowledge and worked very hard to be successful in his studies. His determination led him to become a self-trained lawyer who worked for the Illinois court circuit. Many people that worked around him witnessed his determination and capacity for hard work. Lincoln became a respected member of the Illinois legal circuit and his reputation gained him the nickname “Honest Abe.” As a lawyer, Lincoln developed the ability to thick quickly and debate on public issues, which encouraged him to begin his life in politics. In the year 1847, Lincoln

While living in the South, Richard refuses to accept the racial stereotypes imposed on him as a black man. He tries to fight for himself to create his own identity until realizing that his only hope was to leave the South. On his high school graduation, Richard shows his strong heart by reading his own speech, rather than reading the speech written for him by the principal. He remembers, “On the night of graduation I was nervous and tense; I rose and faced the audience and my speech rolled out. When my voice stopped there was some applause. I did not care if they liked it or not; I was through” (Wright 211). Richard refuses to accept white people talking for him, as the principal had tried to, and speaks up for himself. Rather than conforming

In Ronald Reagan’s speech, “remarks at the Brandenburg Gate” the 40th President Reagan discusses the positive qualities and aspects of the democratic system of government in America at the time. Reagan also challenges the Soviet Union as well as their communism and calls for Berlin to unify once again. Attempting to spread the ideology to those in Berlin, as well as the world, and convince the people there should have been a transition from Communism to Democracy, Reagan takes advantage of multiple appeals as well as an inspirational and hopeful tone. Reagan also made many very smart, conscious decisions regarding not only his appeals but also his choices of delivery, historical context, use of language, and timing, and audience. Utilizing these aspects allowed Reagan to give one of the most memorable and effective speeches in history.

On October 28th, 2015, Lone Star College of Kingwood hosted an event called the human library. It was held on campus for students who were interested to participate. The human library was created for students to gain knowledge of obstacles individuals experienced in life, such as living in the south as a black woman in the 1950’s, being homeless, and being a religion that is frowned upon in society. The purpose of the event is to teach students about other cultures, social classes, and hardship. The speakers inform our generation their own personal experience rather than information in a text book.

Child labor has been an issue we Americans have tolerated with for an extended period of time; longer than we should have. At the time of Kelley presenting her speech, July 22 1905, she stated we had “two million children under the age of sixteen years” who were part of the working class. This statistic illustrates our dire need to decrease and stop the use of children as workers in dangerous places like factories. Kelley states these children are as young as “six and seven” to “sixteen;” which only helps emphasize her point that young children, our futures, do not need to be put in these situations. She helps proves this throughout ter speech by appealing to our emotional, and logical aspects and then also establishing and presenting her credibility.

Kelley wants to pass child labor laws to improve the lives of working children; in doing so she goes into detail describing the horrors children face while working. To emphasize her argument Kelley uses facts, appeals to emotions and syntax to prove to the NAWSA that child labor is awful and there must be laws in place to protect them.

Big businesses fed into this belief, for the reason that they did not want to lose their cheap labor. Yet, others believed that many of these families had little to no choice who they would send off to work since poverty rates were so high. They believed that numerous amounts of these young children were forced into the workforce all to help their families make ends meet. So The National Child Labor Committee hired Lewis Hine to capture the horrible truth of child labor. He took on this dangerous task, one that if the owners of these businesses found his true identity could end his life. He took hundreds of photos and captured the sorrow, the tiredness, and the loss of innocence all in these photoś. He portrayed them in something sorrowful, yet beautiful. He put his life on the line to uncover the truth, going in disguise, standing outside workplaces, talking with these children, and simply observing at times. He took pride in his work. He believed that he would make a difference, and make a difference he did. Lewis Hine’s work grabbed the hearts of many and helped sway public opinion on child

Imagine trying to show the Nation what a candidate was doing wrong in a time of war and having to be responsible if I was to go wrong. In 1964, Ronald Reagan gave the “A Time for A Choosing” speech which was aired on television all over the United States. Reagan wanted to discuss what was going on with the presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. During this time many rumors about Goldwater were spread around the U.S. Most were about how Barry was planning to “re-segregate” America if he was elected as president(). Future President, Ronald Reagan, gave the speech “A Time for A Choosing” because he wanted to show America what was going on in Vietnam, how he could help with it and what Goldwater was doing that was hurting America.

Since the early 19th century child labor has always been socially accepted and tolerated. Often times it was enforced by parents in order to sustain a way of living for families, but at the turn of the century the Industrial Revolution only made it more apparent that forcing children to perform manual labor would be considered unethical. In fact, thee issue of child labor has never been extensively researched or viewed as detrimental until recently. However, this issue of child labor isn’t just a violation of ethics, or as the author of Child Labor In Human Rights Law and Policy Perspective, Burns H. Weston, states, “it is undeniable and indisputable that child labor is a human rights problem, with increasing recognition all over the world

During the summer, the freshman class all read Hill’s book, “Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on The Vulnerable from Ferguson to Flint and Beyond.” In the book, many thought-provoking events that are a part of America’s history were discussed.

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

Change before you're forced to change- Roger Goodell. Many things need to change in this world, and one of them is child labor. Child labor in india is described as children working when they are below the age of 14, this includes light work and also hazardous work. Child labor violates children's human rights as in UDHR article 5 and 26. ”The root cause of child labor is extreme poverty which forces the parents to employ their children for some extra money for daily living.” as The National Center for Biotechnology Information said the cause of child labor is poverty, lack of education and lack of government actions. As what the NCBI said child labour is caused by parents think that having children equals to more money. Child labor is one of the example of the breach of the children's human rights, as it violates the right of education, development and health care of the children. Child labor happens all over the world but 61% are in Asia, 32% in Africa and 7% in Latin America. As most Asian countries are undeveloped or developing countries, they still have many parents that exploit their child for money. Child labor needs to be stopped as it exploits children in inhumane way and strips away from their basic rights.
