Smanga's Conversation

Decent Essays
Can everyone sit down, please?
This is important.

- Go ahead.
- It 's about the baby.

Me, having a baby.

You 've made yourself clear.

We can 't keep having this conversation.

I 've decided to do it.

- I 'll have Smanga 's child.
- Oh!

- Excellent decision, my baby.
- Now you 're thinking, my girl.

Looks like I won 't be returning home just yet after all.

But I have conditions.

Anything.

Speak, and we 'll make it happen.

I can 't sleep with Smanga.

- What are you saying now?
- It 'll have to be IVF.

What is that?

What are you talking about now?

Artificial insemination.

No, no, no...

- Not before we settle business.
- Sure.

You know that...

if you need help, we 're here.

Actually, I need men.
Tough men.

The most ruthless

Perhaps it 's time I spoke to Smanga.

Xoli...

Right.

- It 's not good to get drunk.
- Drinking relaxes you...

but you can 't get too relaxed.

Always be alert.

Always listen.

And how do you show someone you 're listening?

- You repeat what they said.
- But as a question.

Try it.

- Try what?
- Repeating what I said, but as a question.

- What did you say?
- If you want to be one of us, pay attention.

So, if I want to hang out with you guys,
I have to pay attention?

- Yes!
- Good!

You have to show that you 're interested.
People like it when you let them talk.

- That doesn 't mean they like you.
- Why wouldn 't they?

- Unless you give them a reason not to.
- Like making a bad first impression.

That 's why the way you walk into a room is so important.

Posture, grooming, grace...

All essential.
And confidence is key.

And you definitely need to brush up on current affairs.

Girls who look good, but are ignorant, are considered bimbos.

And we do not hang out with bimbos at all.

So if everything goes according to plan...

construction on the road leading to JM Eco City will start soon.

- To Eco City!
- Eco City!

Thank you, sir. My man.

My man, good to see you.

Hey, hey,

One way I make sure of is that I keep u to date with my birth control. My current birth control method is the Depo-Provera shot, to illustrate; Depo-Provera is a shot of hormone/ progestin that keep the eggs from leaving the ovaries and also makes the mucus thicker to keep the sperm from getting to the eggs.

    “Unspeakable Conversations” by Harriet McBryde Johnson and “An Animal's Place” by Michael Pollan are both amazing stories about life and death. With the question, to what extent is it possible to define what makes a “good life” for humans and other animals, it’s difficult to find the right answer if there is one. There is no doubt that animals don’t have rights in the traditional sense, or in any other sense. Should we live with the same concept for humans born with mental illnesses? Singer’s arguments are strong but though some illnesses may lead to a person being stuck in a vegetable state of mind, we must understand that anything is possible in this day and time.…

    World State, I hesitantly greet you. Transported from the past, I was welcomed with new scientific discoveries and societal ideas, but these innovations trouble me greatly. Although I whole-heartily support the motto "Community, Identity, Stability," your methods of achieving such a worthy motto are cynical. Yes, this includes Bokanovsky’s Process, a horrific scientific method that takes one fertilized egg and aggressively forces it to divide into ninety-six identical buds. The future children and citizens of your nation are dumped into alcohol, bombarded with harsh X-rays for eight minutes, and expected to survive such fatal procedures while being kept in incubators.…

    This year has been my first year participating in Global Girls and I can, without hesitation, say that several of the conversations held during the meetings have been some of the most honest, crisp discussions I have taken a part in. My personal belief in the great significance of these kinds of conversations is one of the driving factors for my interest in being co head of Global Girls. If selected as co-head, I will really focus on creating more of these organic conversations that speak about the core of an issue. The importance of brisk, articulate conversations was really emphasized to me during my participation in the Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC) in December of last year. I was chosen, along with four other Brearey girls, to go to this conference in Atlanta, Georgia and I had the privilege of engaging in conversations with teenagers from around the country about different social…

    Film Analysis: Baby Mama 1. Introduction Michael McCullers film “Baby Mama” is based on the idea of infertility and surrogacy. This film was produced in 2008 by Micheal McCullers. Overall, I thought this film was an excellent film because it was comical and kept the audience engaged. However, from a sociological perspective this film left out a lot of important aspects of surrogacy such as the many people who endure endless amounts of boundaries when it comes to infertility treatments which resulted in a lack of realistic component to the film.…
