Purpose:
To persuade my classmates that law enforcement officials should be required to use body cameras at all times.
I. Introduction
Teaser: Discussion of Michael Brown incident.
Thesis: Law enforcement officials should be required to wear body cameras.
Preview Statement: In this speech, I will first discuss the problems that arise from the lack of a video record of police-civilian interactions; second, discuss how that problem is caused by a lack of accountability; and, third, argue body cameras will alleviate this problem.
Transition: Before examining why cameras are so important, let’s look at the problems that arise when cameras are not present.
II. Body
a. Main Point 1: The problems due to a lack of video evidence are significant.
Decreases credibility of witnesses.

b. Main Point 2: Resistance to the accountability of wearing body cameras is great.
Resistance from police unions.
Resistance from governmental bodies.
Transition: Despite this resistance, there are things we can do to reduce this problem.

Federal level
Local level
Personal level

III. Conclusion
Restate Main Points: Serious problems arise when video evidence is not available, resistance to such accountability is great, however, we can take steps to solve this problem.

Imagine a world where the color of your skin dictates your opportunities, your access to resources, even your very safety. This isn’t a dystopian novel; it’s the lived reality for millions grappling with the pervasive effects of systemic racism. While individual acts of racism – like a racial slur, discriminatory hiring practices, or even violence – are undeniably harmful and must be addressed, researchers and social commentators argue that it’s the invisible systems of oppression, deeply woven into the fabric of society, that demand our urgent attention (Feagin, 2010). These systems, often disguised within seemingly neutral policies and institutions, perpetuate racial inequality in ways that are often subtle and difficult to detect, yet have a profound impact on the lives of marginalized groups.
Think of it like this: racism is like a virus, and systemic racism is the pandemic.  We can treat individual symptoms – addressing a hateful comment here, a biased policy there – but until we address the underlying disease, true healing and lasting change remain elusive. Sociologist Joe Feagin, in his powerful book “Racist America: Roots, Current Realities, and Future Reparations,” shines a light on this very issue. He argues that systemic racism isn’t about isolated incidents; it’s about a system rigged to benefit some while actively disadvantaging others based solely on race (Feagin, 2010). 
Imagine a society where your race unfairly determines your access to quality education, affordable healthcare, or even fair treatment by the justice system. This is the stark reality Feagin (2010) paints, meticulously tracing the historical roots of systemic racism from slavery and Jim Crow to the present day. He provides compelling evidence of how these historical injustices continue to shape contemporary society, manifesting in issues like mass incarceration, wealth disparities, and healthcare inequities. He doesn’t just expose the problem; he challenges us to confront the uncomfortable truth that “racist beliefs and stereotypes are often unconsciously ingrained in our societal norms and individual biases” (Feagin, 2010, p. 23). These biases, often implicit and unintentional, seep into our institutions and interactions, perpetuating a cycle of disadvantage for people of color. Feagin’s work is a call to action, urging us to acknowledge the deeply entrenched nature of systemic racism and to actively dismantle these systems of oppression brick by painful brick.

the last minute to begin this assignmentCofer asserts, “Mixed cultural signals have perpetuated stereotypes–for example, that
of the Hispanic woman as the ‘Hot Tamale’ or sexual firebrand. It is a one-
dimensional view that the media have found easy to promote. In their special
vocabulary, advertisers have designated ‘sizzling’ and ‘smoldering’ as the adjectives of
choice for describing not only the foods but also the women of Latin America.” Is
this claim — that the media promotes stereotypes—still applicable today? In an essay,
analyze the stereotypical similarities or differences between Latin American women
and another marginalized ethnic group, such as African Americans, Asians, Middle
Easterners, senior citizens, etc.) Be certain to include at least three similarities or
differences.

Thank you so much! let me know if you have any questions!

What do you think about Carver’s style? The story is almost entirely dialogue, so it isn’t necessarily easy to see where things start to go wrong. What do you think of the characters, Wayne and Caroline? Their dinner out is supposed to be the “first of the extravagances they had planned.” Do you think they made it to the other things they’d planned? What sort of man is Wayne? What sort of job do you imagine he does? What about Caroline, what seems to be going on with her? 
Inés is cooking dinner as we come into García’s story and Inés’s thoughts are interspersed with the preparations she is making. There is a sort of indirect quality to the story. What do you think of this style, compared to Carver’s more direct style? Read carefully the cooking moments, are they symbolic at all? What do you think of Richard? Why do you think he doesn’t appear in the story except in Inés’s thoughts? What do you think of Inés?
Do either of these stories’ couples have a good future ahead of them? Explain.
Think about how different these two approaches are, and yet look at how they write about similar feelings: discontent, feeling trapped or unable to alter a downward spiral.
