American Red Cross Speech Outline

“Nothing endures, not a tree, not love, not even death by violence” (Knowles 14). John Knowles famous quote in his work A Separate Peace does more than leave a lasting memory. Set in the New England preparatory school Devon, the novel focuses primarily on the relationship between Gene and Phineas. Knowles uses foreshadowing, especially in the first chapters to answer questions about the relationship Gene and Finny have. Those moments answer questions about their bond that are left hanging at the end of the novel.

2.3 million people are currently incarcerated in the U.S. justice system. All of them, regardless of their offense, have been put behind bars to serve some amount of time. Trapped in small rooms with sharp corners and dull paint, they watch a lone flickering light in their cell as a meager source of entertainment. Thousands behind black rusted bars and enclosed bland courtyards, blithering about, only occasionally forced to do self-supporting such as laundry and cooking. The typical orange jumpsuits contrast with the muted walls and unvaried routine. These troublesome convicts stumbling around due to their poor decisions are similar to leeches on a host. Being sustained by the tax dollars of others while exchanging nothing in return to the

I visited the Arkansas Art Museum on October 20, 2015. The title of the exhibit was called, “Dos Mujeres,” otherwise known in English as Two Women. This artwork was created by Diego Rivera who was from Mexico. This was a piece of art that portrays cubism and was huge; 77 ¾ x 63 ½ to be exact. The painting had one women on the left, sitting down with a book in her and and the other on the right standing up. This artwork was created in 1914 and the medium was oil on canvas. The name of the gallery was called the Winthrop Rockefeller Gallery. This gallery was located towards the back of the museum. I didn’t know which exhibit to choose because there were a variety of beautiful pieces but I chose this one because it was one of my favorites. The

The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified on July 28, 1868. The amendment granted citizenship to everyone who was born or naturalized in the United States, which included former slaves and African Americans who were freed after the Civil War. Also, the amendment allowed African Americans to be treated equally as all other citizens. However, the Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws, and the result of the Plessy v. Ferguson case took away these rights that were guaranteed to African Americans.

Before we look at the different Social/Psychological Determinants of Health it is important firstly to define what a social determinant of health is. According to the World Health Organization (2017) “The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age.” These conditions are as a result of a wide range of factors that are ultimately governed by the way in which money, power and specific resources are shared at different levels including those at global, national and local levels. We have all been a part of and will experience different social determinants of health throughout our lives but it is the standard at which we experience these determinants that will ultimately lead onto them affecting our health or ultimately leaving us unaffected.

On Sunday afternoon, boy scouts in Seward’s Troop 256 gathered at the St. John Lutheran Church to honor eight members’ induction to Eagle Scout. Also present were six members of the troop’s class of 1967, which reunited to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary as Eagle Scouts.

Individuals lay the foundation of America. The Founding Fathers of this unique nation broke their allegiance with Great Britain to create an improved governing body. They desired an individual-centered authority as opposed to Britain’s monarchy, which ruled with tyranny. These Founding Fathers experienced a neglectful democratic monarchy that cared little about the ethical treatment of its people. The domineering actions of Britain challenged these historic individuals to form a new cultural identity. This new American identity opposes injustice. Justice stands as an important moral and political concept. A prominent component of justice is liberty, which frees society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's lifestyle. Another

A teacher’s son, clad in black and carrying two 9mm pistols rampaged through a Connecticut elementary school, killing 20 small children and six adults, a tragedy President Obama said had “broken the hearts of America” (Williams).” Many people believe that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was planned because of the odd demeanor of the parents or victim, Emilie Parker, the medical personnel who were turned away from the scene, why care flight helicopters were never requested, and questions concerning the validity of the medical examiner. This tragic event was not at all planned because all of these questions can be reasonably answered.

When we think of ‘donating’ we usually associate the word with money and we sometimes make excuses on why we can’t donate. But, we need to realize that there are so many things, some even more valuable than money that we can donate like, our time, items we no longer need, and our blood. I believe that donating blood can have a huge impact on someone’s life and it is something we should all consider doing. Receiving blood can be even more valuable than money for some people. Before donating we just need to consider the place we are donating to.

Managing a disaster starts with the first stage which is the prevention phase. The demographics of local area need to be identified by trending the vulnerable groups so that extra attention and care can be provided. The general public, healthcare professions and other volunteers need education on strategies in the case of a catastrophe occurring in the community even before it happens. During this stage, the community nurse can hand out information pamphlets to local

Have you ever been caught in a natural disaster, losing your home, place to work, or even a friend or family member? Today there is the Red Cross and other organizations to help people survive these events, but what would you do without them? Clarissa “Clara” Barton is a hero because she founded the red cross in the U.S., helped and risked her life in the Civil War, and served as a symbol for women’s rights and support for the oppressed.

After returning to the U. S., Barton wrote to the Red Cross officials in Switzerland and began working towards founding the American Red Cross. For the first twenty years of its existence the American Red Cross, led by Clara Barton, devoted most of its efforts to disaster relief. They aided victims of fires, assisted flood victims, helped the survivors of a dam break, and even organized assistance for Russians suffering from famine. In 1893, Barton’s Red Cross group worked for almost a year helping the mostly African-American survivors on the Sea Islands of South Carolina reestablish their economy. One could go on forever listing Barton’s accomplishments with the American Red Cross which is why she is so fondly remembered for founding it and running it in its beginning

They have diverse ways of providing the care any family needs by the House, Family Room, or Care Mobile. This charity is value orientated making sure to make each location “a home away from home”.

Towards the end of the 1960’s, many of The Temptations’ songs had a political theme.
