Final essay Analysis
Out of all 7 videos I watched today I think that I have been affected by each one. These topics are so powerfully presented and delivered that I actually started watching other videos on how to change the world. Each speech had its own specific way that is was delivered and I think the delivery of these messages are what really spark interest and motivate the audience to take action. First off, I had a few primary concerns about each video and that is how I am supposed to react.

Chris Hayes is my favorite because he uses the media as he microphone and although he is white, he acknowledges the faults in white culture along with how the media masks over it. Messages of truth like this really speak to the people. The “One girl among many” speech is effective because the video relates it to women all over the world to show it’s a global issue that needs to be dealt
