Delphi Girls Two Delphi girls, Abigail Williams (13) and Liberty German (14), were kidnapped and killed while hiking near Monon High Bridge. “About 2100 or more children are reported missing every day, that is equal to a child being reported every 41 seconds” (Child Abduction Facts). How did the abduction of the two girls happen, how long after they were missing did they find them and where? Did they ever find out who did it? The investigation has been a long process starting with their disappearance Monday, February 13, 2017. “They were both dropped off around an old bridge which is over Deer Creek.

    This week’s reflection is on a book titled Girls Like Us and it is authored by Rachel Lloyd. The cover also says “fighting for a world where girls not for sale”. After reading that title I had a feeling this book was going to be about girls being prostituted at a young age and after reading prologue I sadly realized I was right in my prediction.

  • How Did Brianna Goes Missing?

    Many people go missing in a day, although you might not realize it because you are not aware of your surroundings. How many people actually go missing in a day? In the United States every 40 seconds a child go missing, that makes about 800,000 children a year. This number of children missing is outrageous and we need to do something about it. This is the case of Brianna Maitland, a seventeen year old girl who went missing in 2004. I believe that Brianna was kidnapped but other theories include that she ran away by herself and that she was killed by known drug dealers in her area.

    The African American male community and colorism aren’t as affected by the judgement and abused as that of a women. Our community of African Americans are supposed to live in harmony because of everything that we have been through, For example, slavery, voting, etc... The African American male community to judge women on their skin shade, their looks, and their personality has my interiors aching. It has always been the male's job to raise a family by supplying the money to put food on the table not whether they're being mistreated by a shade of color. A woman is the one that is being put down by their shade of color and judged by how black they are compared to the rest of the world. It’s supposed to be the male's job to help the women out, but they’re the ones that judge and ridicule them the most.

  • Lisa Delpit: A Conceptual Analysis

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    Upon doing research, I have also read a few great pieces of literature that share some insight on successful literacy development and parental involvement aiding in that success. Lisa Delpit is an extraordinary author and educationalist who offers so much insight into the school systems and shares what works and does not work. I have had the pleasure of reading a few of her texts, but the one that fit this thesis best in her book called "Multiplication is for White People: Raising Expectations for Other People's Children". In chapter 3 of this book, Delpit discusses how learning does not just take place at school, but also does at home. At home learning is just as important as it is when it is being used in classrooms. Delpit (2013) states, "I have never presented myself as a reading researcher, only as a teacher who has "taught" reading. Yet, the more I explore research on reading, the more I realize that I understand our limited knowledge of what actually transpires during the learning-to-read process" (p. 60). Delpit is stating that many teachers and even parents only go by the book on

    After the devastating shark attack which resulted in Bethany losing her left arm, she developed new insights into life. This included having an extremely positive attitude to the challenges that laid ahead of her and becoming far more resilient than what everyone expected. The experience was tragic, but it provided much inspiration for Bethany. In an interview with Courageous Women Magazine conducted just one month after the incident, she states, "My pure love and enjoyment for surfing is what keeps me going! It’s much more than a career; it’s a moving art, a lifestyle; it’s my talent and a place of rest for me. I’m blessed to be able to surf." This clearly shows her passion for this sport and it demonstrates to us that even through rough times, our motivations and passions can override hardships. It was also about her courage - her inner strength that helped her accomplish the goal of getting back into the water.

  • Material Girl Case Study

    Whilst various studies illustrate that genetic vulnerabilities can be the origin of developing eating disorders, Bordo claims that the act of pursuing femininity is a cultural problem. Culture is seen as the “trigger” and “smoking gun” towards body image problems women suffer from nowadays. Some examples of cultural images that contribute to body image issues include the Barbie doll, which presents an unrealistic beauty standard for the body. For example, the waist-hip ratio of the Barbie doll is 0.56 (waist circumference is 56% of hip measurement), however the average woman’s value is 0.80. Additionally, the legs of Barbie are 50% longer than the measurement of her arms, where the measurement for an average woman would be 20%, with a 16-inch girth (Golgowski, 2013). Further, other cultural images are presented from the fashion industry, where models that are displayed weigh 107 pounds and are 5 foot 10 inches tall, whereas the average American woman weighs 143 pounds and are 5 foot 4 inches tall (Bordo, 2013). This disparity in measurements underline the unrealistic and unattainable body image the culture represents, however serves as a source
