...In class, we have been studying arguments and methods by reading four different speeches. We read “Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth; “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr.; “Remarks to the Convocation of the Church of God in Christ” by William J. Clinton; and “Remarks to NAACP” by Barack Obama. All of these speeches were dealing with the issue of racial injustice and how to fix this problem. Out of all these speeches, Sojourner Truth has the speech with the strongest argument because of her claims, reasoning and evidence, and use of methods. Sojourner Truth’s argument is based on what men were saying at a women’s rights conference she was attending. When she gave this speech, she stood up and gave it uninvited. First, she claims that one of the men said that “women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches…” on lines 4-5. She gives a counterclaim saying “Nobody ever helps me into carriages...And ain’t I a woman?” on lines 5-6. Next, she states that intellect has nothing to do with women’s rights, “What’s that...

...Sojourner Truth believed that women could do just as much as men. In the Ain’t I a Woman speech, Truth tries to prove that women are equal to men, and can do the things that men can do. Truth uses rhetorical strategies to appeal to her audience at the women’s right convention in 1851. One of the rhetorical strategies that Ms. Truth uses to appeal to her audience was conduplicatio. For example, in the second paragraph, she begins with, “And Ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man…And Ain’t I a woman?” and she repeats this throughout her speech about four times; she repeats this to emphasis her point. Her point that she is trying to make is that women can do what men can do. As a result, Truth is able to connect with...

Government initiatives give emphasis on prosecution but it is a globally chained crime where prosecute real offender is tough. Rather prevention is the possible measure to stop trafficking. It is the only pre-trafficking measure which may help a young girl or child not to be victim of trafficking. NGOs are the only actor at grass root level working for prevention so it is necessary to see- actually what they are doing and has any change took place. .

...disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal beliefs and values. Unfortunately, it has often been difficult for me to remain outwardly firm and confident in a town where most people think alike and reject exceptions. Whenever I have expressed my position as a pro-life advocate, peers have badgered, accused, and ridiculed me for simply believing in something that they scorn. Despite all the pressure, I never waive red from my belief, yet I became frustrated and began to lose the courage to publicly express my opinion on this controversial topic. To gain some insight and reassurance for myself, I attended the New Jersey Right to Life Convention in the spring of 1995. This experience uplifted me and offered great inspiration and enlightenment. At the convention I received an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from wonderful people who advocate the very principles I believe in. This convention was so inspiring that the next day in school I was able to relate my experience to one of my biggest opponents on the subject. Also, the abundant information available at the convention enabled me to defend my position on abortion more effectively. Attending this convention accomplished two things. It proved my commitment to my belief, in that I took the initiative to strengthen and support my opinion, refusing to give up or lose heart. Unlike many others, I was eager and willing to gain new knowledge so I may successfully...

Strategic management activities transform the static plan into a system that provides strategic performance feedback to decision making and enables the plan to evolve and grow as requirements and other circumstances change (Dess, Gregory G., G.T.
