Color Blindness: A Speech Analysis
Wow Sierra, you did an awesome job with this assignment. I also rarely get involved with politics and I was impressed by this speech. Diversity was addressed during this speech and is something that America is working towards equality among its people. I noticed that you also used colorblindness in your post and we do need to note that colorblindness will not do anything to help the people of color in our nation.

    Mike Moore Quotes For Critical Thinking

    First I would like to say thank you for offering us this opportunity to receive extra credit because if you did not I would have missed out on a great opportunity. I believe this was one of the best speakers that I have heard here at Western Michigan University. I enjoyed the simple fact that Mike Moore offered a question and answer which allowed audience members to ask him questions. I liked the fact that Mike Moore is a democrat and he also hates Donald Trump and George Bush. Before Michael began to speak they had interesting quotes from him playing on a PowerPoint. The quote that stood out to me the most is, “I was raised to think we are all brothers and sisters no matter what race creed or color.” That quote stood out to me because I overheard students saying, all those people who are going to see Mike Moore are crazy because he is racist.” That is so not true.…

    Political Speech: A More Perfect Union By Barack Obama

    The political speech “A More Perfect Union” presented in Philadelphia by Barack Obama, discusses the issue of race as it has played a major role historically in the United States. He addresses the Reverend Wright argument and touches upon his own experiences as a black man. Obama’s objective was to persuade Americans to eliminate racial division for the good of all Americans. To obtain the interest of the audience, his speech consisted of rhetorical strategies. These strategies were emotional, ethical, and logical fallacies.…

    Convocation Martin Luther King Jr

    Attending the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Convocation, I realized that it was my first time attending an event aimed at diversity since being on campus. I think that it was a good way to reintroduce myself to this issue and how the Otterbein campus is taking steps towards working to a more accepting stance. The only problem I had with the event was the way the speaker classified American families into four categories: Bigoted, Color-blind, Patronizing, and Racially Educated. I think that her description of people wanting to help others in need as being patronizing is a little off. While there may be those who are patronizing, I think that there are many who are actually wanting to help those in need. It sounded like the speaker was making…

    In The Deaf World

    In the Deaf world, the people who are Deaf, deaf, hard-of-hearing, and orals have many defined of each term to identify what they are. They once thought that they are part of the Deaf Culture in which they would think that where they belong. But, according to James Woodward (1972), uses the lowercase deaf when it referring to the audiological condition of not hearing, and the uppercase Deaf when referring to a particular group of deaf people who share a language of American Sign Language and a culture. In contrast, hard-of-hearing people raised in ASL would be accepted as Deaf, while non-signing oral deaf people would not (Bragg, 2001, P.326). The deaf community has it owns value, culture, and language of deaf people who share certain characteristics and their own identity as a group.…

    Great Speach Essay

    But before we look at these rhetorical devices employed in the speech in more detail, a brief summary of the discourse may be helpful. It can be divided into two parts. In the first part King depicts the racial injustice in America and calls for action using several themed paragraphs. The second half conveys King’s hope for a better future where there will be equality between the citizens of America regardless to the color of their skin. This part contains the thesis of the speech: “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”“ The address finishes with an emotionally rich and competently improvised paragraph themed around freedom.…

    Color Blindness And Systemic Discrimination In Society

    Color blindness or also referred to as race blindness is the exclusion of race in the assessment of a human being. Color blindness is a new concept that strives to mineralize racial discrimination. Our society has strived to find a state of colorblindness but has yet to succeed. Past discriminations have hindered the progress of colorblindness in society. Due to racism in the past many hurdles were created for minorities to overcome in the present. Hurdles such as poverty and negative stereotypes. These hurdles in turn have made it hard for our society to truly become color blind. The racism from the past has made our society unable to truly practice colorblindness because it has caused individual, institutional, and systemic discrimination in the present.…

    Deaf Person Analysis

    It was quite depressing to watch the film to be honest, but was definitely a wonderful movie and was able to what children of deaf parents may go through. I may not understand what the girl in the movie went through completely, but it was really profound and made me sad. The scene that made me sad the most was when they went to undertaker to by a coffin for her dead brother. She was on grief that her brother died in such a young age, but she did not have time to think about it or be sad and stay in her room, but she needed to translate their parents saying they did not have enough money to buy a good coffin for him, or an undertaker saying “what kind of people are you?” to her own parents, when she was only 10 years old. It made me think of the frustration both the deaf parents and the hearing children go through. Children like Margaret would feel like they are the only way that their parents can connect to the hearing world; they hear through their children and they speak through them. It is a huge responsibility and they may feel like they live for their parents. But at the same time, I can definitely feel the frustration that the parents go through. They need bring their children everywhere they go and make sure they understand everything when they talk to hearing people. The story about the car dealer that he deceived Margaret ’s father and took money from him made me really sad mad angry. Of course it is just a movie, but to think that this may have happened to someone in old days made me really sad. I grew up in Japan, but my father…

    Colorblindness In The Workplace

    I used to envy the “colorblindness” which some liberal, enlightened, white people were supposed to possess . . . But I no longer believe that “colorblindness”—if it even exists -—- is the opposite of racism; I think it is, in this world, a form of naiveté and mere stupidity. It implies that I would look at a black woman and see her as white, thus engaging in white solipsism to the utter erasure of her particular reality.…
