This ‘#Nasty women’ poem was written by a teenager from Tennessee in 2016 and her name is Nina Mariah Donavan. Later in 2017 a women named Ashely Judd performed this poem at the women’s March in Washington DC, USA. 
The issue that was being marched for was women’s rights, misogyny, sexual harassment/ assault. 
Their main argument in this poem was how women in the US are treated very poorly to the point where they aren’t being paid the same wage as a man. This poem was also filled with points about how black women are then payed less than white women, and then Hispanic women are payed even less. It also had great points regarding to men still being influenced by the nazis of the past. 

My personal view on this large topic is very strong, I couldn’t agree more with what was said In this poem. They talked about racism and the presence of modern day nazis, as well as sexual assault and harassment, and these are all topics that I have strong views on. The poem was written so well that it could incorporated many different points. I have been to a women’s March before but it’s sad to think that nothing has really changed in the last three years or so, as these points are still valid today. 

This poem was already a engaging piece to read, but Ashely Judd made it that more captivating. She emphasised her words and made them loud and distinguished. This was pathos in another form as she made the audience feel empowered. She also had her facts right, so that meaning she used logos. And in a way she used ethos as well as she brought up great women in power. And when having all three persuasive devices used in a speech makes it that more persuasive to the audience. ]]> 2021-10-17 21:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822547525 Spencer - Michael O'Loughlin : We are bending towards justice https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822551965 Michael O'Loughlin: 'We are bending towards justice', Indigeonous Round, 2017

This powerful speech was written and spoken by Emma Watson at the United nations headquarters back in 2014. She spoke thoroughly on the topic of feminism and gender equality. Her main argument was that women didn’t have the same rights that a man has and I 100% agree. But she also talked about breaking gender stereotypes. Emma Watson stated and I quote, ‘I am from Britain, and I think it is right I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should be able to make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men. But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to see these rights.’ These rights are considered human rights and the fact that most women cannot have these is disappointing and unacceptable.

This speech was given at the United Nations in 2018 by John Franklin. He spoke about how people with Down syndrome should be valued and treated with the same love and respect as everyone else. That they need to be educated and sometimes, helped. 
John Franklin's main point was that a life with Down syndrome can be as exciting as any other.

I completely agree with John Franklin on this topic. We should never be looking at anyone and seeing them as a 'birth defect', whether they have Down syndrome or not. It is a small price to pay that we provide the assistance, education and support needed to help someone with Down syndrome have a life of exciting opportunities.

This speech was very engaging and persuasive. The first phrase immediately catches the audiences attention.
'I am a man. See me as a human being, not a birth defect'. Pathos is used here. It is very sad that someone would be called a 'birth defect'. This phrase makes the audience empathetic towards John Franklin and also engages them. 
Because John Franklin is speaking from his own experiences and talking abut his life, the audience trusts him. This speech therefore uses logos.]]> 2021-10-17 22:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822565143 Angus - Bruce Springsteen AngusPattullo https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822567848 This speech was spoke in Perth. Bruce Springsteen in fifty seconds managed to talk about five different equalities and human rights differences in our world. For example, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, wage equality, gender equality, and immigration rights. Although Bruce Springsteen did have a great message in supporting people, he did not have much of a contention. In my opinion Bruce Springsteen was great because he managed to support so many communities in only fifty seconds which is truly amazing. ]]> 2021-10-17 22:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822567848 patrick-barack Obama, selma march 2015 patrickcooks863 https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822571224 the original selma march was in 1965, and they protested for black americans to have the right to vote. Obama's speech was for the 50th anniversary of the selma marches. he spoke about racial equality and how his hero, john lewis (a rights activist) had woken up one morning 50 years ago and made his way to brown chapel. heroics were not on his mind.  A day like this was not on his mind.  Young folks with bedrolls and backpacks were milling about.  Veterans of the movement trained newcomers in the tactics of non-violence -- the right way to protect yourself when attacked.  A doctor described what tear gas does to the body, while marchers scribbled down instructions for contacting their loved ones.  The air was thick with doubt, anticipation and fear.  And they comforted themselves with the final verse of the final hymn they sung:

no matter what may be the test, god will take care of you; lean weary against his breast, god will take care of you.

It was not a clash of armies, but a clash of wills; a contest to determine the true meaning of America.  And because of men and women like John Lewis, Joseph Lowery, Hosea Williams, Amelia Boynton, Diane Nash, Ralph Abernathy, C.T. Vivian, Andrew Young, Fred Shuttlesworth, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and so many others, the idea of a just America and a fair America, an inclusive America, and a generous America -- that idea ultimately triumphed.

This 15-year-old made a poem, which talked about the double standards of American citizens when it comes to gun laws and stereotypes. He spoke passionately about how a white man can hold a gun in public and be called a patriot, but if a black man does the same, they're considered a threat.

I think that Samuel is completely right when it comes to the racism is America when it comes to guns, and think that these double standards should be stopped

Angela Davis spoke about many issues in her speech, but the main two themes were justice and equality for everyone and also resistance to things like heteropatriarchy and the dying of cultures rising again. I think what inspired this speech was trump being voted as president because she said "the next 1,459 days of the Trump administration will be 1,459 days of resistance".Her main argument was that justice and equality are needed, people need to be equal, climate action is needed and that we need to resist Those who still defend the supremacy of white male hetero-patriarchy and we need to defend our vulnerable populations. My view on this topic was that everything she said i agreed with, this speech was made recently after trump was elected and she said things that kind of connected to trump.]]> 2021-10-17 22:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822586452 Bili-Lawrence O'Donnell: 'The original sin of this country is that we invaders shot and murdered our way across the land killing every Native American that we could', The Last Word, 'Dakota' - 2016 https://padlet.com/tesslegge88/clatq0l2ptpp/wish/1822588965 https://speakola.com/ideas/lawrence-odonnell-last-word-dakota-2016

24 August 2016, The Last Word, NBC nightly news show, USA

In this speech Lawrence O’Donnell argues in support of native Americans. He states that Germany after World War 2 was treated better then native Americans.  He states how recent the invasion of America was and how the native Americans were pushed off their land and murdered simply because the native Americans were on the land that they wanted to live on. When they stopped murdering the native Americans, they treated them poorly by violating all treaties. In this speech he talks about a pipeline being built from North Dakota to Illinois, where hundreds of people are gathering and camping in protest, the leaders being native Americans. He states how ironic and cruel it would be if the Judge allows the pipeline construction, leaving the native Americans to be arrested on there own land.

I completely agree with what Lawrence O'Donnell is saying. The passion and effort in his voice is truly inspiring. I agree because the Standing Rock Sioux reservation is sacred land for native Americans who have already had so much taken away from them.

The speaker is Viola Davidson she said this speech at Variety's Power of Women. The topic was hunger and the grow she has joined. Her main argument was that she was hungry as a child, living for meal to meal. Never know when the next meal would come. she was talking about how she would do anything for food. She stole, she would look for food in bins and made friends with kid who got three meals a day for food. I think that this is a big issue everywhere around the would. Many people can't get food. They endure hunger on a daily basses. It needs to be eradicated. She keep them listening to her with her emotional words. She mainly used pathos, ethos in her speech tell them how bad it is and what she went thorough. She used logos and them end listing off facts and statistics.
