Writing a speech is easy. Telling someone about a speech you have to give is easy. Practicing your speech is easy. Giving a speech is not. Through my public speaking class I learned a lot about the art of giving speeches, creating a logical outline of my speech, and a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of my public speaking ability. My overall strengths as a speaker are that I can maintain eye contact with an audience and can convey the passion I have for certain topics to my audience. My overall

Malcolm X emphasizes the importance of voting as a solution to ending discrimination against African Americans.

But by this time many women were beginning to demand their equal say in the running of the country, many women had wealth and careers and yet they could not vote, they felt they were being repressed.

For example, the First Amendment protects the right of free speech to ensure that people who hold unpopular views have just as much freedom to express those views as do people who tend to agree with the majority. The United States Constitution, therefore, was intended to protect the individual rights of Americans
While it is true that the people’s votes count, it is also true that government is affected by what the people vote for and so it continues in an endless circle (aspect #1).

In this regard, there are similarities with the conservative stance. Valuing the sanctity of free speech, Republicans typically value the ability to freely voice their opinions, just like Democrats.
