Similarities Between Carville And Mary Matlin

Mary MacKillop was born in Fitzroy, Melbourne on January the 15th 1842. She was the first child to Alexander MacKillop and Flora MacDonald. Mary was one child out of 8 and spent most of her childhood years looking after and acting like a second mother to her siblings. The MacKillop family were quite poor so at the young age of 14, Mary got herself a job as a governess and as teacher at a Portland school. All the money Mary earned went towards her families everyday living. While working as a governess, Mary met Father Julian Tension Woods. By the time Mary had reached the age of 15 she had decided that she wanted to be a nun. She also wanted to devote her life to the poor and less fortunate. So upon meeting Father Julian Tension Woods she

Student Union Address at BSU’s 3rd annual Black Faculty, Staff, and Student Mixer. This years theme is “The Resurgence of College Activism: 1960 vs. 2016” With the current racial climate in the United States, we chose a theme that can incorporate not only student activism on campus, but in their general community as well. The distinguished student that is chosen will be tasked with conducting a ten to twenty minute address in front of the their peers and faculty/staff on campus regarding either A) Answering the questions “How can the black student community

Briefly summarize the content of the lecture and the highlights of the Q&A session (if any)

We all have been in a bad situation yet very few of us would go as far as to label themselves as suffering. To suffer is to experience or be subjected to something bad or unpleasant. In the cases of Mary Rowlandson and Olaudah Equiano they both had to endure watching those near them grasped by the cold hands of death. Unlike Equiano, Mary was subjected to a form of suffering that created conflicts within herself concerning her predicament and her god. Equiano on the other hand was placed in isolation with those around him choosing to commit suicide,thus leading him to the edge of depression.

One thing that I do not feel like I learned that much about was how “ordinary people” can make a difference. We heard from researchers, journalists, doctors, and many other people who weren’t directly involved in government but I don’t feel also it was expressly addressed how we can participate in this process as students or young adults. Overall, I am very glad I took this class and think it has broadened my understanding of our government and has supplemented my education for the Bridging Disciplines Program. This course fit in well with my certificate in Social Inequality, Health and Policy and will help me in the

Overcoming adversity can be very difficult and overwhelming, but having someone to turn to during these difficult times makes it a lot easier. Mary Rowlandson, William Bradford, and Olaudah Equiano, went through many hardships. During the miserable journeys that Mary Rowlandson and William Bradford went through they relied heavily on God. When they needed comfort or guidance they prayed to God in hopes of getting answers. In Plymouth Plantation, William Bradford believed that something happened because it pleased God. When John Howland was thrown overboard during a fierce storm, he caught hold of the topsail and was able to get pulled back onto the ship. It pleased God that his life was saved.

I think all of the topics discussed were relevant to the real issues that the state of Massachusetts as a whole is afflicted with. I was particularly interested in the discussion about Colorado. I never realized the implications that legalizing marijuana could cause on our state. The police officer explained to us that although there were legal smoke shops where people could purchase marijuana, a black market it for still exists. Legalizing marijuana did not seem to be the solution Colorado had hoped it would be, in fact is has just created more problems. There are more drug cartels from Mexico, and other countries, setting up shop in Colorado, and they are not only illegally growing and distributing pot, both other narcotics as well. I also found what the police officer said about recreational use interesting. I never really thought of it being harmful, but what he shared with us really opened my eyes up to potential threats it posed. One thing that came to mind was about all the edibles offered in these shops. A lot of the marijuana edibles were offered as candies and treats. These edibles are targeting young children who don’t even know what marijuana is. This made me think about the possibility of a young child getting their hands on these edibles, innocently thinking it is just a package of gummy bears. Potential situations life these really changed my perspective on the matter. I found a lot of the topics discussed at the meeting to be beneficial. I wasn’t really sure what I would take from the meeting on a personal level, but I felt I learned a lot. I also really liked the little pouches used for medication disposal. I think using more products like that would help reduce medications getting into the wrong

Otherwise, there seemed to be no significant or obvious distinction amongst members. The attitudinal makeup of the audience was either neutral or positive, as Davis and his work are most known for being lighthearted and joyful. Mr. Davis undoubtedly considered these elements when he planned his lecture, as a large portion of it was centered around the nostalgic feeling the Garfield comics give to the crowd (C3). Regarding the introduction used during the lecture, I felt that it was more than effective in its explanation of Davis by showing what he is primarily known for, what the audience was about to witness, and by creating a favorable atmosphere for the lecture. To gain the audience’s attention, a video demonstrating Mr. Davis’s history and accomplishments was played before he began his lecture. Overall, I thought that it was a moderately effective introduction because it reinforced the interest of the audience, displayed the significance Davis has to the illustration business, and presented his credibility as well-known illustrator. For example, I thought it was interesting that the administrator jokingly announced Davis as a man too important to be talking a public lecture. On the other hand, however, I also thought that the introduction was somewhat ineffective in that it never overviewed what was going to be talked about in the rest of the lecture (C4).

In 1882, Mary Hall had applied for admittance in order to practice law. Most women's career choices and expectations of work were not as fulfilling as those of men. So once this boundary breaking news was told, it was a sensation. Little did Mary know that she would help establish the right for women to practice law in Connecticut and be a role model to so many people. Mary studied law for four years with an attorney in Hartford who was well respected and assisted her to get admittance by the Connecticut Supreme Court.  Shortly after she began to study with the attorney, Hall was named “Commissioner of the Superior Court of Marlborough”, but she then went on and persevered to be able to practice law. Once connecticut's Supreme Court reviewed

“The Vitamin D and Birth Outcomes in Pregnancy” and the presenter was Kristen A Sawka. This topic was one I would have never thought about before attending the Denman. The student explained her research in a non-scientific way so that I could better understand the information that was being presented to me. That was one part of the Denman that I enjoyed because you didn’t have to be an expert on

I really clicked with the last speaker, Reverend Jae Quinlan. I am not sure if it is because we are soul sisters from a past life, or because we share the same name, but I adored her persona. Upon reflection, I wasn’t too sure what the overall message of her speech was. I really enjoyed her different perspective on religion, and engaging with a feminist pastor was refreshingly different. In the essay entitled “Religion” in Critical Terms for the Study of Gender, Regina Schwartz discusses the evolution of religious belief, highlighting that “the wide range of meanings of religion has tended to be more productive than confusing for religions, affording opportunities for change within cultural formations that would otherwise be stable and conservative”, making these rigid belief systems

Many live have been affected by the enthusiasm of these two courageous missionaries: Hudson Taylor and Mary Slessor. These two missionaries changed how things were in the countries they had stayed in. People looked up to these two missionaries. Thy had a strong impact on a lot of people.

I thought the first speech “Gut explosion and funnel cakes,” by Amanda Erck was executed with real class. I particularly like how she used an embarrassing story and turned it around into a positive. I thought she built up ethos perfectly by explaining her disease. She really drew me in explaining what Celiac Disease was and what kinds thing she can and cannot eat. Amanda was able to stress big points by using humor. The line that stuck out to me, in particular, was when she started talking about carnival food. She said that a “small crumb of a crouton would make her insides like the worst part of a Hurr-a-whurl ride.” I thought that was a great use of figurative language, giving the audience a clear visual.

Preparing for the background speech was hard due to all of the criteria that needed to be followed. I had never previously had to give a presentation on a topic while giving both sides of the debate. Usually the assignment requires one topic to be chosen, and giving information on both sides of the argument without being bias. This proved to be difficult for multiple reasons, the first part being was the time. It was hard to make the slides and putting information on it knowing about the time restraints. One thing that I worried about was not being able to get my point across in the allotted time. The assignment in general was a little confusing because I didn’t know what I was supposed to focus on. Since we did not know the order we would be going in there was no way to tailor my slides appropriately. So I had to give background, while also giving two sides on the debate given to defund Planned Parenthood.

The talk was quite interesting and liked how Mr Jackson used the key words we used in class like Kick the bucket and six under feet. On which six feet under came from the history about Aboriginals stealing something six feet underground from dead bodies. He talking about a woman who wanted to plan a funeral and the son got furious then a week later the father dies which it was sad. I was impressed when he talked about how people would want their ceremonies to be like whether they want a tribute video or a church funeral. Another talk that I was impressed about was when he told us about a man’s daughter who died at 17 and that the family planned the funeral and a tribute for her daughter as she was in the basketball and cheerleading team. I
