The Day I Have A Talk

This conference was held in 2005, only a few years after the demise of the Soviet Union; America was the most important superpower, so her speech was highly anticipated. Clinton successful demonstrated her disapproval for the treatment of women around the world, stating later that the purpose was in part to stand up against the Chinese government for their lack of “human rights, and women’s rights.” (Carlson, 2012) The speech is recognized for illuminating problems women face all over the world; one of the purposes of the speech was to inform about what has been happening, and she met that goal. “Clinton’s speech laid

As I begin to recollect past experiences and events growing up, Thanksgiving is the holiday that appears most meaningful. I choose to illuminate Thanksgiving because this is a time when family and friends would forget their worries and differences and collectively came together at grandmother’s house to partake of the Gullah dishes. Furthermore, it serves as a vehicle in stimulating family health and wellbeing, while passing on the identity of the family throughout generations. As I reminiscence, I can recall the air was bursting with love, hugs, laugher and kisses; a sight to behold. Grandmother’s house was small but no one seemed to care as it was inviting. Every area of the house was utilized from the kitchen to the narrow stairway that lead upstairs to the bedrooms. Children were outside playing working up an appetite although there was a chill in the air often going unnoticed, still we were bundled in our hats, coats and mittens. This was not a formal affair but we were all neatly dressed. The house was filled with distinct smells that was heavenly. Steam came from the kitchen as finishing touches were placed on meals. Watching my aunts sweat trying to maneuver in a tight kitchen hoping to avoid bumping into one another was hilarious, but I paid close attention for one day that would be me

Thanksgiving Holiday means so much to me. I love to celebrate that extended weekend with my family. On the eve of the big day, my cousins and I meet at an elder’s house and then the festivities began. This shared feast started in 1621 with the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians sharing a harvest feast ("Thanksgiving," 2016). A portion of the food can be prepared the day before. We decide who would handle what task and when it time clean up the second generation, always try to make the third generation do it. We then continue to cook and clean and reminisce of our past year. Sometimes we would bring up our childhood pranks and stories of family members that passed and present. On the day of Thanksgiving we finish cooking,

The Columbia Missouri Stake President Harvey James was the keynote speaker. He opened the conference and said, “Things we feel certain about may be different from others perspective.” He reassured the crowd of over one-hundred women that they are not alone and there “is opposition in all things.”

opening speech spoke volume to the undervalued and underpaid roles women were once subjugated to.

Throughout the readings, a major theme that kept reoccurring was the idea of gender inequality. Gender inequality is an issue that is still happening today, but it’s now

Before the event started and we all were being seated, I was wondering how exactly this was going to work. ‘Is this a conference?’ and ‘Am I going to be extremely bored?’ were the first questions to come to mind. I came to the conclusion that any mandatory event has a strong possibility of being boring—and this event probably wasn’t any different. I had already decided to dwell upon my existence when the first woman, Emily Mitchell, took the stage. Once she began to read from her novel, I was a little surprised. Being a freshmen in college, it’s hard for me to be entertained by people reading to me, but this felt different. I listen to Mitchell’s words and, for some reason, felt emotional. She describe a situation, in which her sister had gotten hit by her boyfriend and she decided not to tell anyone. Her sister gave numerous excuses, such as being in the same friend group with the guy and not wanting to be a social outcast. On top of that, she also didn’t want her parents to stop her from seeing him. While she was reading, I became slightly

After that Thanksgiving, my character changed, and people began to notice. I was less stressed, and my positivity began to radiate onto others around me. And when they asked me how I did it, this is how I typically responded: when I am on the verge of worrying about my responsibilities, I think about how privileged I am to live the life I have been given. In the midst of the moments when my troubles become overwhelming, I think of all the other problems I could be facing, but I’m not. The fact is, there is always someone who has it worse off than I do. This has driven my personal emphasis on positivity, tranquility, and global charity. That year, I gave thanks for that Thanksgiving Night for helping me become who I am

She touched on the statistics that 1-10 husbands beat their wives, they have no safe house to escape too and there weren’t many faculties for abused women to go to, to seek help. She started the movement on ‘violence against women’ in BC. At some point in the video they mentioned as a female we are told we should not there we are free to walk around the streets thinking we have the freedom/choice to be treated equally in our career and dear to speak out on an issue. But as women, it is important not to be blinded and to take a stand not only for us to for the equality of other women of our

The speaker whom the group has chosen for their event is Sara Blakely whom is represented by Speakers.com.. Ms. Blakely is the creator and founder of SPANX.

When creating the powerpoint, we knew as a group that the five women and their stories were crucial towards the point we would ultimately be making, that women have vital roles in improving the economic and political

I'm going to start this presentation off with a story. This story is about a girl named Karla. You see Karla didn't live an ideal life. Karla had been sexually abused by a relative since she was just five years old. When Karla was about twelve years old, she was waiting around a subway station for her friends. An older man approached her and began connecting with her, telling her that he had also been abused as a child. Shortly after, Karla agreed to take a trip with the man. They planned on going to a nearby town, and little did Karla know, she would be making the worst mistake of her life. This amazing man had soon become her worst enemy. As a twelve year old, this man had forced her to have sex with up to thirty men a day, seven days a week, for four years straight. For those of you who didn't do the math, yes, she was essentially raped a total of 43,200 times. In an interview Karla revealed that the men would laugh at her because she was crying. That she had to close her eyes so that she wouldn't see what they were doing to her, so that she wouldn't feel anything.

The day had come. Over the past two weeks, Miss Brooks prepared a presentation and a speech. It was impressive, in her opinion, but she still had one more thing she needed to do. The minute she got to work, she peered into the ladies’ bathroom. There were too many people there. She ran up two flights to a less used

Starting at a very young age, Marc and Craig Kielburger had a very strong reaction to child labour issues around the world. Due to their ........ has grown into 3 organizations working together to end child labour.

May 5, 2015, was the day my whole life changed forever. It was the day I finally figured out what I was meant to do. The patients, the atmosphere, and the people touched my heart in ways I never knew possible. Just having the ability to work with them made me feel as though I did the most important thing in the world. St. Jude impacted my life as a child and choosing to volunteer at one of their events and give back was one of the smartest decisions I have ever done. At that moment I knew my calling in life was to work with those kids and help them receive the same opportunities I have had in life.
