As a whole, I do not believe that this was my best speech, but there were parts of this speech that I believe that I did better on than the last speech. Like B.B. King I love to learn and hope that in my next speech I will notice new areas of growth in my speaking ability. My reflection begins with eye contact and body movement, moving on to the use of voice, and ending with the organization of the speech. Opening with delivery, the thing that stuck out the most was that my eye contact was poor…

Now Tutu rise to fame was when he became the first black person to be appointed to the Anglican Dean of Johannesburg in 1975. In this new position that he had, he was able to really speak his mind on anything that he really wanted to. Him speaking out to racism and other things got him a Nobel Peace Prize in 1984. So, with all these things in mind I this makes him a credible source to…

infrastructure, and many of the homes are makeshift. The slums of Dharavi did not emerge until the late 19th century. Before then the city was nothing more than a swamp used by fisherman. Around the late 19th century the swamp was filled, making room for new people to move in, and they did. People from all over India migrated to Dharavi creating a diverse population. Similar to the favelas of Brazil there is no formal infrastructure in most parts of Dharavi. However rather than going without…

A new genre of movies seems to have taken over the box office in the past couple of years. Romance Dramedies are a smashing hit because they can incorporate most things we Americans strive for or experience daily into one movie. Romance, laughter, a journey, some hardships, and connecting. A film released in 2015 defined as a romance dramedy, yet the directors decided to push the boundaries and make it bigger than a typical romance comedy. This movie was quickly glossed over and thrown to the…

takes a village to raise a child” as well as “keep the piece”. With these beliefs, not only will the new generation coming up be able to take care of the traditions, culture and be able to continue a legacy but it will also teach them how to not be evil or live with envy in their life. Due to the way that the South African culture creates their interpersonal relationships and how they raise the new generations we are able to see the history that is passed…

In the play, Our Town, there are numerous characters which have their own unique personalities and meet different fates. The character that stuck out to me was Joe Crowell, Jr. He is the town’s paperboy and is a star student. The stage manager then informs the audience of his death. Joe in the future will be killed in France during World War I. This character stuck out to me because of how I could relate to the characters monotonous daily routine as a paperboy. In my own life, I have a daily…

the Favelas by making them look nicer. What it did was it created more amenities near Favelas like stores and parks and connected Favelas to the other parts of town with roads. This made it so a person in a Favela could travel across town to go to work. This open the job opportunities for people in Favelas because they could travel across town. This had multiple effects because it helped grow the economy because of the influx of workers, but it also lead to a lot of worker exploitation where…

From 1675-1676, the New England region was consumed by an abnormally large amount of conflict and tension. A specific battle took place between the Puritans and the Native American Indians, and it became known as King Philip’s War. It was one of the most bloody and violent encounters that has ever transpired in American history. The war has been analyzed and studied by historians for decades, which still have not been able to conclude if the battle was significant or what the legacy was. People…

The location of the school and isolation of the city is a demonstration of the country’s segregation. In the city, the rich white areas were almost absent, the focus resting on the poor shanty towns and crime-ridden neighborhoods inhabited by black residents. Also, there was not any real interaction between the blacks and the whites (Fitzgerald 2011). These conditions made Paton realize the racial discrimination throughout the nation as a whole…
