...Emma Watson vs. Malala Yousafzai I am going to compare two very important speeches, in my opinion. Emma Watson’s was on the HeForShe Campaign and Malala Yousafzai’s promoting education for girls. Bothe speeches were delivered at the United Nations headquarters in New York. Emma Watson, at the age of 24, launched a campaign called “HeForShe” on September 20, 2014. She is the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and she was cohosting this event when she gave the speech. She is a famous British actress and has been advocating for gender equality. Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban for going to school, and on July 12, 2013, at the age of 16, she delivered a speech promoting education for girls. She has become a champion for the rights of children everywhere to be educated. Emma Watson began her speech by addressing “Your Excellences, UN Secretary General, President of the General Assembly, Executive Director of UN Women, and distinguished guests.” (Normaljean2, 2014) As for Malala she began her speech, not only this one but every other one she did, “In the name of God, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful. Honorable UN Secretary General Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Respected President General Assembly Vuk Jeremic, Honorable UN envoy for Global education Mr. Gordon Brown, Respected elders and my dear brothers and sisters.” (A World at School, 2014) Both were very respectful. I believe that the first challenge a speaker faces is to establish their credibility to speak...

...Emma Watson: Wizard and Hero Women work equally as hard as men do and full-time working women earn 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, a salary gap of 20 percent(IWPR). Watson was born on April 15, 1990. When she was nine years old, she became a household name when she was cast in the Harry Potter series. Emma only auditioned for the Hermione part because her friends did and thought it would "be a laugh." She has starred in all eight of the Harry Potter movies and has gone to do great roles in other movies. Even though Emma Watson became a world-famous actress, she did not let that get in the way of her education. Watson went to Brown University in 2009, while she was still playing her role as Hermione Granger. She took a year off to act in several movies, but she eventually received her bachelor's degree in English Literature. Emma Watson may be known to most people as Hermione Granger but she also should be known as...

If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop. If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are--we can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about. It's about freedom."

...The word feminism is defined as the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. The word feminism has a negative connotation in today's society, but many activists are working to fight this stigma. In order to persuade the nation towards gender equality, Emma Watson delivered her “Gender Equality is Your Issue too” speech to the country to promote her launch of the HeforShe campaign. The first way Watson achieves her purposes is by using pathos to appeal to the nations emotions. Watson discusses growing up and being a victim of gender inequality; “When at 14 I started being sexualized by certain elements of the press” (Watson). She does this to appeal to the public's emotions. Doing this, she is persuading the audience...

...Kevin Kondrad Professor Kroesche English 102 Section 1025 March 9th, 2015 Analysis and Evaluation: Emma Watson Address Emma Watson is an aspiring leader for the feminist community with no signs of slowing down. All Watson wants is for men to believe in the definition of feminism and that one day men and women will truly be seen as equal counterparts politically, economically, and socially. Although her intent is well-meant; her movement “HeForShe”, along with her address was flawed in many ways. Watson starts off her address by saying “We want to end gender inequality-and to do that we need everyone to be involved.” (Warren) but from there on she only talks about men. Watson patronizes men; unable to see the full spectrum of consequences that come with change, and the illogical statistics and statements that she presents, consequently these flaws have opened the doors to numerous media backlashes. The invitation to men “How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation? Men-I would like to take this opportunity to extend your formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue too.” (Warren) was patronizing to men as if being formally invited on a magnific stage such as the United Nations headquarters was just the thing us men were waiting for. Mia McKenzie reinforces my idea with her sarcastic remarks “It’s not because of the prevalence of misogyny the entire world over. It’s just that no one’s asked...

...JOHN B. WATSON (1878-1958) “Father of Behaviorism” Brenda Anyanwu Paul D. Camp Community College Mrs. Jean Farmer Psychology 201 Abstract Based on a quote from John B. Watson, “Psychology as the behaviorist views it is a purely objective experimental branch of natural science. Its theoretical goal is the prediction and control of behavior. Introspection forms no essential part of its methods, nor is the scientific value of its data dependent upon the readiness with which they lend themselves to interpretation in terms of consciousness. The behaviorist, in his efforts to get a unitary scheme of animal response, recognizes no dividing line between man and brute. The behavior of man, with all of its refinement and complexity, forms only a part of the behaviorist’s total scheme of investigation. (Classics in the History of Psychology) Although, I might not somewhat agree with his theory, Mr. Watson holds some truth about his view on his theory. What you are about to read is about his life and what lead him to his theory on behaviorism. Brenda Anyanwu Mrs. Jean Farmer Psychology 52A November 3, 2010 Project Assignment John Broadus Watson (1878-1958) “Father of Behaviorism” During the year of 1878, John B. Watson was born to parents Pickens and Emma Watson, he was their fourth child. Growing upon a farm in a small town of Travelers Rest, South Carolina the family was poor. Most of the family wealth had been too lost during the civil war. John’s parent...

...Like mentioned above, men have been told to restrict the amount of emotion they show that could be considered to make them weak. Two of these emotions are sadness and shyness. When they are then faced with a crying woman or child, many times men do not know how to react. This is different than how a female would react. A woman would comfort the crying person and try their best to console them. This is because of their motherly instinct and because they grew up embracing that kind of emotion. Not only are women hurt and held back because of gender roles in society, but men are too. Women and men both are in need of equality. For women, this comes in the form of feminism. Feminism is a loaded word. People tend to associate it with Planned Parenthood...

...way women viewed their standing at that time. Many women became activists because of these conventions, leading to the rise of women’s rights. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. She graduated from the Geneva college in New York in 1849. She later opened her own infirmary on New York of women and children in need. Elizabeth Blackwell was a strong influence on the path to women’s rights in the U.S. and was even seen as a role model. In 1851, Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Susan B. Anthony, which began a life-long partnership based off voting, economic, and legal rights for women. They created another women’s rights convention in Akron, Ohio, where a woman named Sojourner Truth gave a speech named “Ain’t I a Woman?” It later became extremely famous. Because of their partnership, they were able to better present themselves to the women in the population of the U.S. and were able to easily spread the need for women’s rights across the country. The American Equal Rights Association was created in 1866 by women’s rights and antislavery advocates and Congress passed the 14th amendment, defining U.S. citizens as male. The amendment was later ratified. Black males were given the right to vote due to the creation of the 15th amendment in 1869. After this, the National Women Suffrage Association formed along with the American Women Suffrage Association, splitting the movement in two. During this, Wyoming grants voting rights to...

...‘REEL WOMEN’ 75% of blockbuster crews are male, how severe is sexism in the film industry? This 20 minute long documentary is based on women’s careers in the film industry, how they may be underrepresented, why this inequality persists and how this may have increased throughout the years. Actresses and women from around the world are calling out sexism in the film industry. “Is there a lack of material and great stories for women to work with?” These questions will be answered through a compilation of archive footage and interviews with female students to understand how younger women aspiring in strong career paths feel about it – and also women that are already in the industry who experience the inequality first hand. This leads to my first contributor which will introduce narrative and to give the audience a strong storyline to follow: Carla Lacey is 46. She has recently graduated from Manchester University and wants to excel in her dream of becoming a successful screenwriter. She grew up always wanting to be a singer but suffered with heavy bipolar, restricting her from following her dreams. Carla wrote poems and two novels which are published in books and on the internet – with this not being good enough for her she researched into screenwriting and now aspires to work with many other female screenwriters in the industry. She is passionate about the empowerment of women and wants more material for women to work with in the industry as she feels there isn’t enough...

...What makes a great speech? A great speech requires passion, emotion, and a firm belief on what’s being said. Anyone can make a speech, but creating a difference through your words, through your body language and through your emotions is what makes it great.

But I’m not going to talk about them. Rather than a passive speaker a more aggressive speaker. Malcolm X. A former minister for the nation of Islam and a black rights activist.

...‘Ideologies have become irrelevant to the discussion of politics since the collapse of the communism in East Europe.’(Fukuyama francis,1989) I disagree with this statement in a large extent. Overview Fukuyama published the idea of ‘end of ideology’, which became a controversial issue in 1989. No doubt, fascism and communism had both lost their appeal after the collapse of the communism in east Europe. In the postwar period, the three ideologies-liberalism, socialism and conservation –came to accept the common goal of capitalism. ( Lee, 1990) However, it does not mean that capitalism is a triumph of the world. Jacques mentions that there are many types of Marxism. For instance, orthodox Marxism is produced by the unique history tradition. Therefore, when one specific communism is collapsed, it does not mean that the communism is collapsed. In fact, there still are states that pursue other types of communism. People reflect and become interested in Marxist if capitalism cannot bring them into utopian era. There is no way to say that ideologies are becoming irrelevant to the discussion of politics. Also, All human are political thinkers. We all have difficult thoughts and diverse perceptions when the things happen around us. Modern ideologies such as feminism and ecologism are witnessed. From the observations and judgments, we can find out our own belief of what our world is and what we ought to be. ‘equality , ’rights’ ,’freedom’ ,’justice’ are the expression...

...just as we appeared to have it all, a fresh flood of feminists has started to represent us as dim-witted, unable to survive a bad date, let alone negotiate a pay rise. Withal, they are running out on what was best about the feminist tradition: solidarity with the sisterhood and the freedom of every woman to do as she pleased. Feminism 5.0 entails unreservedly ambushing of other women over, erm, important issues such as bikini waxing, wearing stilettos and mini-skirts. Valenti writes, ‘It is childbirth that turns you from a girl into a woman’ (causing me to snort involuntarily) and ‘Feminism will only prevail when a woman goes up to collect the Oscar for Best Actress in shoes that aren’t killing her’. The revolution shall be broadcasted, ‘Emma Stone receives Oscar in sandals’. If this is branded as feminism, then feminism is extinct. The pettiness of the fights ‘feminists’ pick is the unshaken proof of its collapse. What began as a real crusade against real prejudice has transformed into a ritual of fruitless attention seeking. I was born in 1999, in India, but was fortunate to grow up in foreign lands across Asia and Europe. It was also undoubtedly clear that women ruled: with a female Danish Prime Minister (Helle Thorning-Schmidt) and a queen on the throne of Britain. I look to these real feminist icons as real proof that I can get wherever I want in life, provided I groom my brain and give it my all. Feminists in the West, if they had any sense, would stop groaning and whining...

...school student’s perspective on feminism? In this research study, students were told to scale from 1-10 if social media, celebrities, or the internet manipulated or altered their view on this lifestyle (1-did not alter/manipulate perspective, 10- strongly altered/manipulated perspective). This survey question was often answered in two ways; the factors had a positive or negative impact altering the viewpoints of the students. Ex Positive: “Many celebrities such as Emma Watson highlight the importance of feminism and what can be done to achieve feminist objectives (9)”. Ex Negative:“The media has manipulated feminism from the equality of male and female rights to its current man hating ideology, and that they are always the victim in any situation (9)”. The results made it clear that students believe these factors have significantly impacted their perspective on feminism. An MSNBC news article stated statistics about social media impacting the feminist movement (Chittal, 2015). For example, after Emma Watson’s He For She Speech, there was approximately 300,000 feminist conversations on the social media platform, Twitter (Chittal, 2015). Social media is powerful as it influences and engages others towards new ideas and beliefs. This secondary source demonstrated how social media has positively impacted this movement. The data collected, and the new article both acknowledged how celebrities, social media, and the internet altered people’s views on feminism in one way or another. Many students...
