First Woodstock Informative Speech
I remember it like it was yesterday. Standing in the middle of millions of people, jamming to great music, and freezing as the temperature got colder. When Jimi Hendrix came out to play the National Anthem; some people loved it yet, some people were not. During that song people separated by their opinions. You have the people who love rock, who loved Jimi Hendrix, and the people who admired everything he did. Then, you have the people who think distorting the National Anthem was wrong and shouldn't be aloud. That was how the first Woodstock Festival started. We were in a place called White Lake, New York on a 600-acre dairy farm. People crowded miles around to hear the amazing musicians play loud rock. Everyone felt cold with blankets wrapped

    The Stonewall Riots In Isay's Ted Talk

    I felt personally impacted by Isay’s Ted Talk because I have also gone through the difficult journey of acceptance of a loved one’s differences. As a member of the LGBT community, the Stonewall riots are a particularly interesting historical event for myself and the rest of my community. The fact that Isay was able to draw inspiration from the Stonewall riots is very inspirational to me. I absolutely adore the idea of Story Corps because I believe that it has to power to unite people who would otherwise not be informed about a perspective, other than their own. Transcribing human history is of the utmost importance if we wish for civilization to persist. However, Isay is adding a nuance to the traditional historical archives, and that is the…

    Mile Stone Informative Speech

    What is a mile stone? Well, in olden days, a mile stone was a sign on the road to mark the distance to a place, actually made of stone. However, today we speak of mile stones as events marking a significant change or stage in development: an achievement, watershed event or benchmark. For example, Sam Wilson is celebrating 30 years of employment with Kemira this month. Congratulations Sam, that is quite an achievement.…

    Standing Rock Persuasive Speech

    Hey Xoe, please talk to your following about Standing Rock. More people need to know about what’s happening, because it’s horrible. It seems as though our native people are losing once again. Police are tormenting them on their land. I’m not sure if you know about what is happening, but I feel like it’s important to know, or to educate as many people as possible on the subject. A short summary of this situation would be that there is a an oil pipeline being put through the Standing Rock reservation in North and South Dakota. If you didn’t know oil pipelines have high rates of leaking which would cause the Native Americans living there not be able to use the natural water sources such a lake and rivers. The pipes also will most likely exploded,…

    Rocky Horror Picture Show Speech

    We reside in a city notoriously known for its insane nightlife, so growing up here in Las Vegas has not always been the most enjoyable experience due to the numerous age restrictions downtown with little to no options for genuine fun other than your basic mall or movie trip, thus leaving every kid yearning to be 21 in order to have a bit of freedom.

A kooky tradition that has been around in here in Las Vegas for 14 years and known to the world for the past 42, that has brought unity and self expression to its audiences you too can be a part of.…

    In John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, the author shifts from a powerful tone to an instructive tone by setting an example for other countries, inspiring the younger generations of Americans, and instructing his fellow Americans. Kennedy shows a powerful and tone when he says “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any for to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Kennedy also shows a powerful tone to America’s young people when he states, “We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans- born in in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage- and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.” Kennedy then shifts his tone to instructive when he advices his citizens to “ask not what America will do for you- ask what you can do for your country.” Kennedy shifts from a powerful tone to an instructive tone in his inaugural address by setting an example for other countries, inspiring the younger generations of Americans, and by instructing his fellow Americans.…

    How Woodstock Changed American Culture

    To some, Woodstock was one of the biggest rock concerts ever, but to many others it was a huge historical event that changed America and its views on the Vietnam War forever. Woodstock was one of the biggest anti-Vietnam War movement to ever exist, it also marked the beginning of the Vietnam War as well. The concert was originally supposed to be held in a town named Woodstock, New York on Max Yasgur's 600 acre area, but was transferred to Bethel, New York because there was not enough room for the crowd expected(Pendercast 862). People were influenced to come because it was a concert that featured a lineup of the biggest and best names in the business at the time(NA "Where Have All The War Songs Gone? 1). The slogan decided on for Woodstock…

    How Did American Counterculture Influenced American Culture

    Woodstock was a gathering of all the now called “hippies” who were the icons of American counterculture. This group of people believed that they could change the world that was rooted in hatred, war, and greed, by focusing on loving each other. The culture that the Woodstock Youth was rejecting was that of their parents, which included radical segregation and support of the Vietnam War. This was an example of counterculture because in 1969, 50% of the nation supported the Vietnam War. The rock and roll was played at the festival was also a symbol of the overpowering counterculture and served as the engine for cultural and social reform movements like these. Rock and roll is also seen as an expression of the youth revolt against conformity and adulthood.…

    Jimmy Carter Informative Speech

    “Best part about being a former President is you do what you want to and if you don’t want to do something, you don’t have to.” Those were the words of former President, Jimmy Carter as he told a story of a young boy who told his father that he wanted to be a “former President.” Mr. Carter and his wife arrived at Grand Rapids Community College to speak for the Diversity Lecture Series to help welcome the 100th birthday of the institution. I personally had the privilege of attending this momentous occasion thanks to one of my professors. This event was really my first opportunity to listen and watch an American politician outside of the scripted big stage.…

    Woodstock Symbolism

    The chaos, however, of the ending of the festival, made it continue on an extra day. It was known as three (or four) days of peace and music. The people that went to Woodstock would probably describe themselves as hippies, flower children, and aquarians. The event although did not exactly speak on behalf of the young American’s musical or political views during the 1960’s, it did, however, represent them in the sense of freedom and idealism. Critics do say that although it does speak for the young Americans well, it shows what was wrong with the 60s. With the excessive use of drugs, decrease of sexual morals, and a widespread deterioration of respect for authority.…
