I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH BY MARTIN LUTHER KING

Martin Luther King was an African American who fought for the writes of the black people and gave them hope that one day racial segregation and inequality will end in America it is a speech that I would be honoured to present to you today.

I Have a Dream speech by Martin Luther King
August 28th 1963

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This historic declaration came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.

But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of colour are concerned. Instead of honouring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquillising drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick-sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

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."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

RANK MODEL OF PERSUASION

Persuaders can choose from four strategies of action:

• Intensify their own good points.
• Intensify the weak points of their opposition.
• Downplay their own weak points
• Downplay the good points of the opposition

Tactics For Intensifying Persuaders Argument:

• Repetition: the persuader repeats his strong points continuously.
• Composition: indicates the proper composition of the speech
• Association: persuader associates with something or someone of strong reputation

Tactics For Downplaying Persuaders Argument:

• Omission: persuaders omits their errors.
• Diversion: creates diversion to distract focus on weak points of the opponents
• Confusion: creates confusion in the midst of crisis.

Commercial view and comparison to closest competitor.

Volkswagen Touareg commercial

In direct comparison to its closes rival the AUDI SUV.

-VW intensifies their strength as a powerful vehicle by repeatedly showing the SUV pulling a Boeing 747 the shot repetition highlighting its strength.

-VW associates it engine strength with that of the aircraft.

-They downplay the vehicle strength of their opposition by omitting their features from the commercial.

-They also divert our attention from other vehicles entirely

GENDER INEQUALITY

Gender inequality refers to inequality between individuals due to gender, where by one of the gender is usually favoured or undermined then the other.

Does it still exist? even today people still experience gender inequality so it is safe to say that it does exist, especially women in most of the working area they sometimes need to work twice as the male work in order to to be seen that that they have the quality and qualifications of a man and even then they will still be treated not equally than the other gender.

what is a glass ceiling? it refers to a barrier that invisibly does not allow one to develop or move to the higher stage.how can individuals break through the glass ceiling? for someone to break through it one has to work very hard to prove to people that she know what she is doing and she does it excellently. women have to look at  glass ceiling as a challenge that will lead to their success and work hard to prove that they too deserve to climb up to the ladder of success and they should always take matter of their work seriously only then will they be able to break the glass ceiling in the society.

Are there any other forms of glass ceilings that are faced by those other than women? yes there other forms of glass ceilings out there racism and other form of discrimination can be grouped as forms of glass ceilings and these kind of glass ceilings also include other genders besides from women most of these glass ceilings happen in big companies where may be a person of different kind of race than whites has to work harder to prove that he also qualifies to be where his white workmate is, this kind of glass ceilings  does not require one to be a woman in order to face it even men face these type of glass ceiling.

In my opinion gender inequality  in a world of today should be abolished because women have proved to have the same efficiency as men and that they should not be a judgement of ones efficiency on work or what they do based on gender or race they should be based on their qualifications and how well they do their work.
