Speech By Monika Lewinsky The Price Of Shame
There could be many different social repercussions that come from public shame, some might be positive but most have a negative impact on the person. A clear example of a negative reproduction is in the speech by Monika Lewinsky The Price of Shame. In the twenty-two minute talk, Monika clearly described the negative affects of public shame and how it can affect your social lives. A very important quote that she said was " I was then swept up into the eye of a political, legal and media maelstrom like we never had seen before... this scandal was brought to you by the digital revolution" (02:44). Another quote she said was " This rush to judgement, enabled by technology, led to mobs of virtual stone-throwers" (04:14). These quotes both show how

    Moreover, sometimes people think that Shamming is good or that it is a perfect way to teach someone a lesson is because it gives them the power to do the right thing in public where all their followers are paying attention. Some other reasons that enable people to shame others on social media are that Shamming helps spread awareness on issues, it throws light on ignorance and wrong views, voice of people is heard who are usually unheard and most importantly it helps reduce imbalance of…

    I am impressed by Sojourner Truth’s wisdom and the bravery it took to speak those words, at such a tumultuous time. As a woman; particularly, a Black woman, I felt a sense of pride as I read this speech. I don’t think I could be prouder, if I were one of Sojourner’s descendants. For all I know, I may very well be, as 13 of her children were sold into slavery.…

    On November 13, 1993, Bill Clinton argues how Martin Luther King fought for the African-American community’s rights, but they are using it in the wrong way. Bill Clinton wanted all of the crime that was being committed to stop in the community of Memphis. Martin Luther King fought for their freedom, but not for the freedom to commit crime. Bill Clinton was trying to persuade the African-Americans to try and change the community for better, so the government’s changes can work for both the government and the community. For example, Bill Clinton implies, “We’re doing our best, but I do not believe we can repair the basic fabric of society until people who are willing to work have work.” He was showing how indignant…

    The way from shame to wholeheartedness goes through vulnerability.

    Lately, the top story in the news day after day, months after months have been about William Jefferson Clinton, also known as Bill. Who could blame them, there is nothing better than a story out of the ordinary, especially one with presidential status. For the past months he has been the most talked about figure, being the essential topic for news, talk shows, late night comedy and even going as far as the big screen. Talk about 'Primary Colors' and 'Wag the Dog.' What has gotten to me the most however, were the constant flow of Republicans, along with a few Democrats, who just want to say how shocked and embarrassed they are along with the people of the United States.<br><br>The president had not just become the most talked about figure, but also one history had ever seen, so far that is, breaking the record and becoming a topic of conversation and debate 'twenty-four seven.' The people, who I think were most affected by this crisis and feel very sad for, are the Republicans, since they had lost severe amount of sleep over the president's bedroom crisis. They had to perform their republican duties by shocking our brains with the president's affair with Monica Lewinsky. <br><br>We had to ignore the rest of the world news and its issues while they plough through the valley of lies, abuse of power and something they called high crimes and misdemeanors. <br><br>At first we listen and listen and listen but eventually got bored. Not a whole lot of people felt comfortable smelling someone dirty laundry which was aired for a very, very long time. <br><br>I personally got tired of this never ending story a very long time ago, since I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Clinton. I love the guy and no I am not talking romantically. I love Mr. Clinton as a teacher and most importantly as a role model. There is a story behind how Mr. Clinton earned my respect, which had nothing to do with his cute looks, but rather his character.<br><br>From what I've seen, he is a…

    Speech on Corruption

    • 334 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Greetings and good-after noon to all of you. My speech today will address the topiccorruption and especially political corruption. Everything in this era revolves around the decisionsmade by powerful people in society, particularly governmental people and politicians and many of them resort to misuse power for personal gains such as money, luxuries or even more power. Thismeans that corruption could make you gain a lot but it also means that you deprive certain people of a lot. This is why in certain countries, we see a gap that is widening between the poor and the richand certain economies are falling, as in the united states economy. Corruption only leads to thedestruction of a persons morals and ethics and would increase peoples hatred towards that person. Asignificant example on political corruption is when our countries in the middle east- throughcorrupted people- facilitated the way for the occupational troops to invade Iraq and when theyignored the cries for help by Palestinians in Gaza and other cities. It is time for people to start paying attention to these issues and understand that we must fight corruption to end these miserableissues upon our people. It is therefore that corrupted people must suffer the consequences incurred by their actions and should be punished according to the Islamic system. But what if the peoplewithin the system are also corrupted? Then I believe that change comes from within us if we arewilling to step up to these people and by taking initiatives, sacrifices and perhaps try to influence people and future generations to put pressure in the face of corruption. One of the ways of applying pressure and drawing attention to this case was shown by a reporter a few days ago who threw a pair of shoes at the united states president. Although I liked the idea but other methods such asdemonstrations are proved to be effective methods and as I've stated earlier, its all about takingsacrifices and initiatives towards these…
