Developed by Girls Incorporated, Project Bold was constructed to help girls and young women learn important skills and strategies that could help lead to safer lives within their homes, relationships, and communities (Girls Inc. Project Bold, 2015). Through the aid of a three step program development system, researchers within Girls Incorporated developed a theory of change surrounding violence that girls and young women experience, gathered data to support the proposed theory of change, and from that theory, created a logic model and measurement strategy that became known as Project Bold (Project Overview,

The wave of feminism has remained an undisclosed matter to America’s patriarch society, but over the years it has gradually emerged and is being exploited in mainstream Hollywood films. Two films that validate the feminist movement in an effective approach are Fast Times at Ridgemont High and John Tucker Must Die. Both films elaborate on the feminist methodology revealed in a high school setting surrounded by macho teenage boys and sexually frustrated adolescent girls. The two films are directed by two eminent female directors. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which is directed by Amy Heckerling, is a 1982 Hollywood film that gives insight on feminist discourse, but not subjecting or altering the mainstream patriarchy narrative structure.
Grant proposal A was about implementing an expansion to ABC’s Alternative Breaks program to send groups of students to various communities around the country. Overall, I felt this grant was well written. This grant proposal is straight to the point, but gives enough information within most areas where clarification in not necessary. This grant proposal falls under the community service, and civic engagement categories. Although this grant proposal is for an expansion of preexisting program, I can see why they want to expand the program. The program is helps bring awareness to social problems, promotes physical activity, and helps entice people to engage in their communities. I feel that this expansion program would benefit communities,
It is estimated that 39,511 women and 410 men will die of breast cancer this year alone. There will be 229,160 new cases of breast cancer in men and women this year. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women. My great grandmother who I look up to and is the strongest person I know, is a two time Breast cancer survivor and she believes that the organization Susan G Komen has made a huge impact on breast cancer in women. In this speech I want to pay tribute to and recognize all the wonderful things Susan G Komen has done in the research and cure for breast cancer. I will start off by talking about how the organization was founded. Next I will discuss all the great things Susan G Komen has done in the fight against breast

$4,428,000. This is the average amount female basketball players earn compared to male basketball players who earn an average of $4,500,000. Now, that is only one sport, there are many other sports where the pay ratio is drastically different between the two. For example golf, females earn $811,000 less than males, tennis, 54% less and soccer, $177,831 less. Neither male nor female college athletes should be paid, because of pressure, good grades, and scholarships.
A pink ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness for women. Their first appearance occurred in 1979 when a wife, whose husband has been taken to Iran started to tie yellow ribbons around the trees in her front yard, her dream was to see her husband come home again. The second appearance occurred 11 years later when an AID activist looked at the yellow ribbons that represented the soldiers fighting in the war, he turned the ribbons bright red representing blood. In 1990, the first breast cancer survivor launched a campaign named ‘Komen for the Cure’. They launched a race and all the survivors wore printed black and white buttons, the design was an abstract female runner outlined in a pink ribbon. Later that year, the program developed and the
Slave Narratives give a somewhat accurate description of slavery, because they tell of slavery from a primary source, but those who lived long enough to tell their stories often weren’t subjected to the cruel conditions most slaves were, and the interviews may have been skewed to convey the story that a white southerner wanted to convey. Not all slaves were educated to write about their experiences so there isn’t a full picture.
Breast cancer is the second leading cancer killer among women, after lung cancer (Breast Cancer , 2014). Cancer is a word that puts fear in many people, especially if they have family members who have either died or survived the disease. No one wants to hear that he or she has been diagnosed with any disease, especially cancer. Many women do not take breast cancer serious until they are diagnosed. Sadly, once diagnosed with this epidemic, a person’s life is altered forever. Breast cancer does not discriminate and can happen to anyone at any age. To prevent this disease, one must take the necessary precautions to lower the risk factors. In fact, there are several local and national events to remind people of breast cancer’s existence. Many
In The Color Purple, Alice Walker illustrates the lives of a female African American before the Civil Rights Movement. A novel that describes female empowerment, The Color Purple demonstrates the domestic violence women faced in the South. Walker tells the story through Celie, a young African American girl who faces constant hardships until she stands up for herself with the help of her closest friends – other women undergoing the same difficulties. Even though men controlled females in the South, the author emphasizes the strength of female empowerment because females struggled to survive during this time.
The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation marks its 20th anniversary with its retro-styled Pink Caravan this year.
