Within the first few minutes of Karen Morris entering the lecture hall I knew her presentation would be interesting, and one that would be hard not to pay attention to. I thought she picked a great topic to present on, I found the stories of the different cases incredibly interesting, and even humorous at some points. I felt that she kept everyone's attention throughout the presentation by the way she presented the information, she was not only loud but you could tell she wanted to be there and wanted to share these cases with us.
She began by introducing herself and telling us about traffic lawns and not to text and drive, as well as explained the consequences of doing it, which I thought was a good way to start out and to catch everyone's attention. She then moved on giving us brief synopsis of many different court cases, explaining laws that sparked some discussion. The first court case that brought on a discussion was one related to copyrights. Two people owned a restaurant that eventually closed, the owners parted ways and opened up two different restaurants on their own. One of the previous restaurant owners wrote all

A little boy was swimming and playing in very shallow waters at a beach area, under his parental supervision. An alligator appeared biting and dragging the little boy under water practically drowning him, he didn't die but was seriously injured. There were signs around the beach area saying “no swimming”, however there were no signs warning people of alligators. The boy’s family is suing Disney saying they didn't take proper precautions by just having a sign saying no swimming. Disney has workers who patrol these waters, and alert someone if there are alligators to have them removed. Disney has now put up signs saying there are alligators along with a fence around the area. The case is still in progress and is being debated over whether disney took proper
A strategy that she uses is asking questions. She states “What would the legal effects of the equal rights amendment really be? The equal rights amendment would govern only the relationship between the state and its citizens” this gives you a reason to see that she knows what she’s talking about. By asking questions she gets the people thinking and answering them provides the audience with of what will happen if they did this. Meanwhile it gives a reason for the people to understand why she
Shirley Chisholm's speech is effective because of her use of logical flow of ideas, persuasive techniques, credible sources, and counter-arguments.
Her transition into her conclusion was not obvious, and it did not reiterate any of the main ideas from the body. Her closing sentence “We should be getting adults to start thinking more like children”, is an ironic and powerful statement. It would have closed the speech very well, if she had slowed down when she was speaking it. It sounded like she was going to tell us more, because of the way she said the last sentence. Because of this, there was a slight awkward pause between her ending and the audiences clapping. Despite the weird ending, I could tell the audience really enjoyed her speech. It was memorable because of the way she delivered her information, her use of visual aids, and it’s relativity to the audience. I feel the primary message was not only to inform about how children think, but also to encourage adults to be more open minded, imaginative, and creative. In other words, be more like a
Professor Faden is a film/media teacher at Bucknell University in Lewisburg Pennsylvania. He received his PhD. while in Florida. Now in addition to teaching he makes some films and writes papers on film and media. When doing these things he would have to have a good understanding of copyright laws so as not to break them when creating works. Faden demonstrates this knowledge when making the “A Fair(y) Use Tale”, by not committing copyright infringement on Disney Studios.
Academically, Ms. Wilson has stood out as a student that values her education. Her hard work and dedication to assist others in need
From a communication and speech analysis stand point Ms. Alexander kept her self poised, keep her tone of voice smooth and inflecting when she needed to drive certain points home. She kept the audience engaged by moving around telling personal anecdotes that related to her topic to allow the persuasiveness of her speech to drive home about the problem of the criminal justice system and race as a whole. Her first point that really captivates and hooks you in within a matter of minutes of listening to the speech is when she says, “ People of color are the main ones incarcerated…Put in cages and treated worse than animals.” Right their she captivates and audience that otherwise believe she's crazy talking about race in the criminal justice system. Ms. Alexander managed to captivate and all WHITE audience on a topic that most had already made up there minds on. Her speech was effective in that all statistics about her topic she
If, and only if, these elements are met, the plaintiff, in this case Ms. Lee, can effectively argue her case and potentially win this case. Conversely, if Disney is able to prove that her accusations fall short of the requirements for a breach of contract suit, Disney will be able to successfully defend against the suit.
Liz definitely needed to plan ahead for her presentation to the Hudson Valley Business Association. Her speech made her lack of knowledge obvious to all the business leaders present at the meeting and may have exposed the weaknesses to her competition. On the other hand, after returning to her office Liz did handle the criticism very well, she was open, honest and direct with her coworker in discussing the issues with her speech.
When she started the speech, she fumbled over her attention getter, but I would place fault upon being an English learner rather than being unprepared. Her opening line and credibility led her well onto her main point of recycling. I feel as though her preview was not so much a preview as it was an awkward transitional piece into her first main point.
Cahona gave a very informative presentation she introduces herself by talking about herself when she was a young child and explaining why she is doing what she is doing, she then goes onto gave informative information on the homeless people in the USA and finally ending by giving statistics. She uses a various ways of captivating the audience by making her voice higher, harder and a bit faster for example when she says
(3) Even in cases where a plaintiff is partially at fault, his culpability is not equivalent to that of a defendant. The plaintiff 's negligence relates only to a lack of due care for his own safety while the defendant 's negligence relates to a lack of due care for the safety of others; the latter is tortious, but the former is not.
She explained how important the 1991 crime victims bill of rights truly is. This was a murder case. This law allowed for there to be pictures of the victims in the courtroom. By doing this there gave a face to the murder which heavily influenced the jury's decision making when
Disney claims that the clip of John Smith being saved by Pocahontas is “responsible, accurate, and respectful.” I believe that the clip is not historically correct and that Disney's claim is wrong. There are many reasons why I believe this.
EuroDisney had a disastrous first year in Paris, France. There were many reasons that contributed to the horrible start. I am going to discuss six reasons why I think EuroDisney had such a hard time adjusting in Europe.
The Walt Disney Company is one of the largest media and entertainment corporations in the world. Disney is able to create sustainable profits due to its heterogeneity, inimitability, co-specialization and immense foresight. During the late twentieth century, Michael Eisner founded and gave a rebirth to Walt Disney Company. Eisner revitalize TV and movies, Themes Park and new businesses.
