Civic action score

                                 What Civic Action Taught Me About Power                                Reflections After Watching Eric Liu’s TED Talk “Understanding Power” A few days ago, I became deeply involved in a civic action project that left me enthusiastic, humbled, and—surprisingly—reflecting deeply on the nature of power. Not the dramatic and flashy power we associate with national politics , but the everyday power Eric Liu talks about in his TED Talk “Understanding Power”: the silent power, the hidden power, the power we underestimate because we perceive it as too subtle or slow to matter. When I first stepped into my civic-action project, I thought I was simply trying to make a positive change in my community. I didn't realize that the real journey would be about understanding power—how it works, who has it, an...

presentation thoughts

these presentations Each presentation talked about so many things going on in the world right now. that not many of us were thinking about my presentation talked about the economic system how we have composed how many other countries are suffering right now and how we are polluting the world. while the other ones talked about medical needs But not only that there is also other things that they talked about. we can help for the planet for the people that not many people put in the effort for which is really sad because if you have time off of work or or even if you're not doing as many things throughout the day if you have time to donate some kind of food if you have some time to go to compost take some of your food that you don't eat so that we can help the planet. It might seem like little things but those little things can make a big impact to the world and not only that you will feel amazing after doing that.  For example Group one talked about Send Jude and how they have be...

Public Speaking Personal Reflection - Noel Calero

 P ublic Speaking Personal Reflection                                                                                               Noel Calero Doing my first presentation in the class was exciting but at the same time scary. Ever since the beginning, I've felt somewhat frightened about speaking out loud during class even though that's the main point of it. Naturally, I felt very nervous after knowing the instructions to the presentation and that I would have to definitely be speaking to the class. Although it was only through zoom, it felt as if I was standing right in front of the students in a physical classroom. But somehow still managed to gather the courage.             Public speaking has never been comfortable for...

The Power of Public Speaking - Maia Marabotto

The Power of Public Speaking Maia Marabotto     Public Speaking is one of the most valuable skills we can develop. It's not just about standing in front of an audience and delivering a memorized set of lines. It goes much more deeper than that.  It's about learning to connect with other human beings, to express an idea clearly, to inspire confidence, and to influence others in a way that makes life easier and more meaningful. In fact, when we look at history, many of the most transformative figures, leaders, activists, and teachers achieved their impact not only through their ideas but through their ability to express them persuasively. Communication is what opened doors for them, and it's the same tool that can open doors for us.      At first, classes in public speaking might feel like an "extra", something outside our direct field of study. For example, a business student might think, " I'm here to study finance, why should I care about presenting i...
