Ice Caps Speeches

Women are considered second-class citizens when compared to men who dominate positions of power in the United States. From a political standpoint, there is a common misconception that women are unable or unfit to serve in public office. Regardless of gender, every voting American possesses the potential to assert themselves and participate in our democracy. The outcome of the U.S. 2016 presidential election demonstrates how women are still negatively viewed and discriminated against by gender bias. As evidence of this, in the United States Congress, women hold just 84 (19.3%) of the 435 House of Representative seats, with only 20 women (20%) in the United States Senate (Rutgers, 2016). This is a startling statistic considering that women possess the same rights as men to run for political office and represent one-half of the U.S. population.

No other threat to the human race is more imminent than the threats that are Global Warming and Climate change. Global Warming and Climate Change are ruining the planet and will eventually kill the entire human species along with every other species on earth if they are not stopped. For years, lawmakers in our country have been trying to get bills passed and have succeeded but it is not enough as the climate changes and causes natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornados that displace millions of people per year. Global warming is increasing the average temperature on the earth, which in turn impacts biodiversity and the climactic changes. Global Warming and Climate Change will continue to ravage the planet today, tomorrow, and every day after that if the human race does not come together, not only as a country, but as a planet.

The world’s climate is changing, and the effects of it will not only affect the inhabitants and the planet, but also humans. Everyone usually only pays attention to the weather on a weekly or even a monthly basis. However, humans don’t pay attention to the changes that they are causing. Very few people actually accept that they are the ones who are causing it and that they are also the ones that can help with the issue. It is time to take action on this problem that will only continue to cause horrible consequences and the only way to do that is having humans change their ways. Even starting with the smallest way can have a dramatic change if everyone is doing it.

On the second morning, I followed my basic interest in the legislative process and ran for the assembly. Within it, I found a match for my passion for the area of health, joined Health and Human Services Committee, and was elected chairwoman of the committee. Despite my inexperience, I found that I had much to say. I debated fervently with my peers to pass bills I believed would improve current circumstances, learned to listen and incorporate opinions of others to produce a balanced outcome, and fully exercised my power to vote. At party platform meetings I went up in front of approximately 250 people and expressed my opinions on issues debated, my previous fears of inadequacy blown away and replaced by a passionate heart ready to work. Sure, I still lacked the speaking skills and expansive political knowledge that many of the girls there possessed. But I realized what it truly meant to dedicate myself for those I care about. Girls State showed me that I had a voice, regardless of its volume. And the fact that there are others in the world who are willing to work with me to achieve the same goals I am encouraged me to pursue my goals with even more

Many women have faced difficult paths to get elected into office whether they are Hispanic, African American, or White. Even if they had all the qualities or they were overqualified they failed based on their gender, race, or lack of confidence in themselves.

Imagine your hometown underwater; the places you once hoped to show your grandchildren lost completely and swept away into an abyss. It doesn’t sound great, does it? Unfortunately, this could very well become reality. Maybe not during this generation, but eventually. Climate change is a severe issue that affects us all. Icecaps are melting, sea levels are rising, and many Americans are either unaware of the issue or have listened to major politicians dismissing the issue without much knowledge of it.

Many people doubted women’s abilities to take care of the same issues that men handled. Nonetheless, over time, women have been able to spread awareness about their deserved rights; they have “established strong lobbying groups, won legislative and judicial victories, survived the defeat of the ERA, changed public attitudes about the equality of women, and helped overcome some of the gender imbalance in elective and appointive public office” (Women, 1961-present). Although equal rights have not been fully granted, women accomplished many feats in the past ninety years. Females have gained access to holding public office, with many of them reaching high positions. Women still must work to gain equal rights, but they have come a long way in terms of political

From women’s suffrage activists to female Presidential candidates, America has accomplished a lot on its road to political equality. Forty years ago, electing a woman to hold the office of the President of the United States was an unachievable ideal. This concept was considered too far-fetched. And yet, as a nation, we know that this ideal is now a conceivable reality.

With the rise of calamitous news regarding extremists groups taking over certain states, countries threatening to go to war, and viruses spreading throughout the world; the outlook of humanity does not look good. In addition to these dire headlines is the matter of climate change, which, unfortunately, is not as alarming to the public eye. Nonetheless, climate change is a pressing matter as it will impact every facet of society from economy to even human survival. Perhaps the general public find climate change as a vapid subject because of its nature to react belatedly to human activity, and how it is often represented with numbers, graphs, and projections; things that are not compelling to those that do not understand its importance. Even

Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to help reduce climate change that is causing severe weather by trying to help combat vampire electric devices in our homes.

“It is past time for women to take their rightful place, side by side with men, in the rooms where the fates of peoples, where children’s and grandchildren’s fates, are decided.” (Clinton) Hillary Clinton has been a driving force in the continuous fight for women’s rights. She leads by example, she became the first women to run for president, holding the seat for speaker of the house. Mrs. Clinton speaks out for women on freedom of choice, education, fair wages, and many more past, current, and future issues. For over 170 years women have been suppressed by men and the laws in which they created. Women have continually and successfully battled for the rights they deserve including equal opportunities in politics,

There is an issue on this planet that will define this generation. The issue is climate change. Global warming. A world on the collapse as our oceans are acidified, our air polluted, our forests disappearing, and human rights issues getting worse. It seems that people are not aware of how big climate change actually is. It’s not something that only takes place on the ice caps or in the forests on the far corners of the world. This is an issue that happens here, and now. It’s real. It’s happening.

Attention Getting Device: On November 21, 2017 NASA published an article on the issue of global climate change which quoted this, ''NASA tool link port-city seal levels to regional ice melts''. NASA has been working to minimize the effect of global climate change and recently it has developed 'NASA tools'. This particular tool links changes in sea level of around 293 global port cities. Most specifically, the tool links changes seen in vulnerable regions, such as Greenland and the Antarctic Peninsula, where ice lands are melting rapidly. Such development will allow coastal planners to be aware and prepare for rising seas level for years to come.

In an age of rapid global changes from our own country and beyond, there remains societal, socio-economic upheaval and political uncertainty while war and poverty continues. What our generation is now responsible for is how to reverse or at least slow down the impact of these self destructive enemies. Some may assume that our demise is in a nuclear war holocaust in appearing sooner that a natural, climate change end of man. It is easy to see how the economy in certain regions of the world is in danger of collapse. Drought and natural disasters seem to have taken precedence as these kinds of assaults attack the world in a non-discriminatory fashion. It is easy to become overwhelmed and begins to question what our next decade is going to be like; that is if tomorrow still appears. In this paper, a coordinated policy

There are many scientists who argue that if you have a clean work space and a healthy environment you will be really productive. Now think about how important this fact could be when thinking about our earth. We live in a world with wonderful life and curiosity. However, by the way we treat it, you wouldn’t think so. We create so much waste to give to the earth, our climate has changed and the repercussions are disastrous. With no change in sight, one of science’s greatest minds, Stephen Hawking, has recently stated that he believes that human life on Earth only has an expectancy of 1,000 more years(Dodgson). Efforts are needed across the globe to hold each other responsible to try to fix the massive amounts of climate change we have created, but where exactly do we start? The United States has a moral responsibility to both lead the discussion and make the most changes. Not only as the country with the largest carbon footprint footprint per person, but also as a power player in world politics, the US needs to keep in consideration other countries’ experiences when discussing climate change and make an effort to make possible decisions with positive outcomes.
