Persuasive Essay On Oprah Winfrey

For years, poverty and race have been issues that our society has long since talked about, and efforts to find solutions to these topics are being heavily discussed. These issues have been revealed and talked about by millions of people, but how these problems are presented to the public can affect how individuals handle the information at hand. Authors frame their work to achieve the most effective reaction from their targeted audience, which can result in structural differences between articles that are written for general and expert audiences.

November 8th 2016 is when our next presidential election will take place. Many of us are wondering who we should vote for, the Democratic Party leader Hillary Clinton or the Republican Party leader Donald Trump. Hillary’s email scandal makes her untrustworthy and Donald Trump’s ignorant nature make it extremely difficult to choose a candidate, to choose between a lesser of two evils. We could vote third party, try to make sure no party gets a majority and hope the electoral colleges votes for that third party, but no third-party candidate has won the presidential election ever, all the way back to the first president George Washington in 1789. It would take many people to make it happen now.

The issue of Donald Trump versus Hilary Clinton is an issue of facing two evils but having to choose a lesser evil. In reality though, Donald Trump would be a better president as compared to Hilary Clinton. He is a straight forward candidate, rich, older, and some may view him as being even wiser. He fits in well with the American system of big money politics since he is a popular billionaire who flies around in his helicopter without hiding his wealth and voters in recent past have said that they love nature of telling it how it is and they also respect his ballsy nature. This is in direct contrast with his opponent Hilary Clinton, who is good at hiding her wealth, riches, and beliefs. The Clinton’s are estimated to have a fortune in excess of 100 million dollars and some people like to portray Hilary as a liberal hope, including a number of activists and academics titled “feminists for Clinton” but reality is that "she is a significantly dangerous white feminist woman"

Ellen James doesn't allow the tragic accident that happen to her when she was young affect her daily life even though she is practically handicapped from it. She doesn't agree with the women who cut their own tongues off in “honor” of her bravery to continue on in life. I do not blame Ellen for not agreeing and standing with those women. Ellen would rather be viewed as a normal human being rather than be seen and treated as a victim of a terrible crime. I do believe she was right to write that opinion article, needless to say she needed to let those women who mutated themselves and those idolized her down easy. She just wanted to feel normal and go on with her life. She did not want to be constantly reminded by others of her traumatizing past.

The 2016 United States Presidential election brought out the worst in people, hope turned into fear and the American citizens were divided on who would ease their fear. The Republican candidate, Donald Trump, an outsider to politics, his outspoken nature only helped his campaign. Just when the people thought he could not say or do anything worse, he would defy the odds and top his previous offensive comment with something even more offensive. The Democrat candidate, Hillary Clinton, has been active in politics for the past few decades, her roles in government include Senator and Speaker of the House. While many times previous experience would help a candidate, this only hurt her and eventually led to her demise. This election will go down in

There were 884 million doctor’s visits in the US alone in 2014, another 125 million counting hospital visits. It is clear that society trusts the doctors and nurses that it employs to uphold high standards to carry on with the task of saving lives. Our society doesn’t blink an eye and puts all its faith into doctors without question. Society assumes that all doctors are good and ignores the potential of an immoral doctor. A study conducted by the NCBI showed that 90% of all medical students have witnessed an unethical medical practice performed by the doctors that society had trusted. This means that if you had any doctor’s visits in the last few years, most likely you were a victim of an unethical practice. This is the situation that Henrietta Lacks faced at John Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s. Rebecca Skloot details the accounts of mistreatment and abuse that followed Henrietta Lacks in her novel The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta Lacks was an African American mother seeking cancer treatment at John Hopkins Hospitals, who ended up to be one of the biggest medical discoveries at the time. Doctors at the hospital discovered the power of her cells and in doing so abused and misuse Henrietta Lacks in the process, which ultimately led to her death. Although Henrietta Lack’s cells proved to beneficial to millions of people, the misconduct performed by the doctors is uncalled for and violates the oath that every doctor had sworn to. There is no

I believe HIllary Clinton is the only one who can provide the leadership Americans need. So, I will explain why to vote for Hillary Clinton and not some other candidate.

With the presidential election right around the corner, many Americans insist on not voting. They see the choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as a choice between the lesser of two evils. They feel as if both presidential candidates are untrustworthy and an adverse depiction of the country. It seems to be a very difficult decision facing the American people today. But as American citizens with the right to vote, everyone should utilize this privilege. After all, the future of the country is determined by it. In Hillary Clinton’s DNC speech, she attempts to persuade the American people that she is capable of becoming the next president.

Poverty is a social problem that affects everyone on an economic, political and social level. The problem of human suffering is one that we must combat strategically on many levels. According to the United Nations, “in 2015 more than one billion people around the world live in a state of poverty, lacking the basic goods food, clothing, and shelter that humans need to survive” (“Poverty”). There are a great number of areas that keep individuals poor, such as lack of resources, inadequate income, lack of education, language barriers and the high cost of child care. Being able to work and provide basic necessities is our basic human right and we should not be deprived of these basic human rights that individuals need in order to live satisfying lives. The government has the responsibility of helping individuals in need with the economic assistance to feed, clothe, house, educate, provide health care and decent wages for every individual. They should ensure that individuals have access to resources that will help them build a better future. There are several ways that we can work together to strategically find solutions to end inequality among the poor individuals in our society.
