Madam Speaker, Vice President Biden, members of Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow Americans, our Constitution declares that from time to time the president shall give to Congress information about the state of our union. For 220 years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty. They've done so during periods of prosperity and tranquility, and they've done so in the midst of war and depression, at moments of great strife and great struggle.

Between America and other European nations, stereotypes and misrepresentations have ultimately plagued the continent of Africa. To every side there is often another story, yet unfortunately for the many countries of Africa, they are ultimately victimized and suffer through further oppression. According to Curtis Keim’s book Mistaking Africa, Keim suggests that Africa is essentially under the public microscope, it tends to be scrutinized, and compared to European nations and America. Keim elaborates on human natures need to group people, places, and things, which creates the theory of superiority or dominance over races, cultures, and even religions.

Africa is considered one of the poorest and filthiest continents in the world. Bu that is not true, that it is the single story of Africa. A single story is what Chimamanda from “ The dangers of a single story ” considers to be what people are shown over and over and that is what they think is true. For example, if CNN showed everyone in Africa struggling for food that would be the single story of how some people may think everyone is in Africa. But, some other Africans could be watching the news report on their new flat screen TV. Africans take offense of how everyone thinks that it is a horrible country and it is not their fault, it is the media's job to fix it.

“I don’t belong here.” Lucy cried. “What is my purpose?” A few months earlier, Lucy is a very gifted girl. She has red rough hair, light blue eyes, and a big beautiful smile. Lucy is always sent from home to home because her parents died in a car crash when she was 5. She’s always getting bullied for how she dresses. Lucy has one thing to keep her calm, and that is art. Lucy loves art. She feels that it helps her express her emotions. The only person she can go to is Mrs.Ronald (the art teacher). Mrs.Ronald gives Lucy extra supplies so she can paint. Lucy never told anyone about the kids bullying her. They’ll always say, “Lucy is a loser!” The funny part is that they try to make random things rhyme. Some days Lucy wonders what it will be

In today’s age of political frenzy and backward logic, it can be very difficult to remain positive or optimistic about the future of our country. Wow, only one year of Donald Trump’s first term and already he was brought so much havoc to his citizens. Our president is making decisions that are destroying lives, but it isn't an election year. We can't do anything to stop this right? WRONG!

It’s my way or the highway is an idiom developed in the 1970s, and the sentiment that it represents is certainly not unique to the Millennials. Judge Judy, we respect your opinion, but you need to realise one thing. It is hypocritical for you, and likeminded traditionalists, to criticise Millennials for “having only one view” if, in the future, we attempt to stray from the predetermined paths of earlier generations. We, the millennials, would prefer to take a different highway to you, and yes it will be our way because we know it’s the best path to take. If that translates into my way is the only way then so be it.

Ten bodies stood in the town center, surrounded by tears of joy and grief. The Council took their seats, some looking forlorn, others ecstatic.

The future is an exponential function with the variable x in the exponent place. That variable can be anywhere from one to infinity. It was only around thirty years ago when the first smartphone was introduced. Nowadays smartphones are as common as clothes. If you do not have a smartphone it means there is something wrong with your life. It was only between one-hundred to two-hundred years ago that black men and women were considered slaves for life to serve the white men and women. It may seem like a long time ago, but in terms of history, it is not. In the future, the dominant values that will define us will be our achievements, efficiency, and scientific developments.

We get there because we lose ourselves in people and things. We give away ourselves to people that don't deserve us. When we think we're good and on land a tidal wave hits us out of nowhere but you saw it coming.

I am planning to persuade my audience to support to change the presidential election system in the U.S during my persuasive speech. In my opinion, the presidential election is the most important election in our country since it elects the leader for at least 4 years. I think it is extremely important to make sure the election system is fair and can represent the majority of our country. However, the election system that we are using right now can not always represent the majority. It does not assure victory to the person whom majority of Americans favor, and many presidential candidates in the history who received more popular votes, lost the election. Therefore, I think it is important to help my audience to learn about the pros and cons of our current election system, and let them realize that it is the time to change it.

The worst tragedy within the world, in my opinion, is the death of a child. At fourteen years old, one of my best friends’ brother died of a bad heart at age fifteen. The amount of pain I saw within the eyes of my friend’s parents was dramatic. I had and still have the upmost sympathy for them, wishing no one has to ever go through that type of pain. Being a small city boy from Iowa, that death is about as tragic as any event has gotten me. But, as searching for a topic on social justice, I learned that twenty-one thousand children died each day on average according to UNICEF in the year 2013. That means that thousands of parents go through the horrible pain that my friends parents did, but the difference is that these kids are dying of poverty stricken crises. What I mean by poverty stricken crises is death of starvation, or by a disease that is curable but not treated. Poverty is an inescapable idea in the world. All throughout history there has been poverty. That does not mean, however, that there is nothing a person of privilege can do. In the present world, eighty percent of the population earns less than ten dollars a DAY, according to the World Bank Development Indicators. Just handing money to the poor will not help the problem of poverty. What may help more effectively is getting people on their feet through education and development programs to better whole societies that want help. I have chosen the topic of poverty on a global scale due to the amount of
