Emma Watson HeForShe Speech at the United Nations

Emma Watson Delivers Game-Changing Speech on Feminism for the U.N. Earlier this summer, fresh from college graduation, Emma Watson, was named a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. Though the ripples of her involvement over the past few months can be seen online (crashing the U.N. Web site, using Twitter to denounce a sexist politician in Turkey or respond to the gender politics of the recent celebrity nude photo hack), Watson’s power in person is an entirely different matter. The actress gave an impassioned speech on feminism and gender at the U.N. headquarters in New York this weekend to launch the “HeForShe” campaign which aims to galvanize one billion men and boys as advocates for ending the inequalities that women and girls face globally. Watson’s speech, which was met with a thunderous standing ovation, not only called for action from male allies, but clarified a persistent misconception about feminism in general. I decided I was a feminist and this seemed uncomplicated to me. You might be thinking who is this Harry Potter girl?

untitled M-kampanj mot rödgröna får kritik "The End of ungdomsjobb", "Boom! Där rök försvaret" och "R.I.P. Rut". Stockholmsmoderaternas nya valaffischer går till hårt angrepp mot de rödgröna — en kampanj som kritiseras för att skruva upp tonläget rejält. – Det här är "negative campaigning" — att man inte talar om sin egen politik utan bara om vad motståndaren vill göra, säger professor Bengt Johansson som forskar om politisk kommunikation. Inför valet 2010 täcktes KD-ledaren Göran Hägglunds ansikte av stämpeln "helsjukt". Stockholmsmoderaternas valaffischer, som sätts upp i huvudstaden, går till angrepp mot oppositionens politik med budskap som "Ajöken nio nya tunnelbanestationer" och "140 000 nya bostäder kan hälsa hem". – Vi vill skapa uppmärksamhet och få en klarhet i var de rödgröna partierna står i dessa frågor, säger Stockholmsmoderaternas kommunikationschef Elisabeth Somp, som slår ifrån sig kritiken. – Att lyfta en fråga tycker jag inte är negative campaigning. PR-konsult Patrik Westander anser att tonen har hårdnat.

The Trouble With Bright Girls Successful women know only too well that in any male-dominated profession, we often find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. We are routinely underestimated, underutilized, and even underpaid. Studies show that women need to perform at extraordinarily high levels, just to appear moderately competent compared to our male coworkers. But in my experience, smart and talented women rarely realize that one of the toughest hurdles they'll have to overcome to be successful lies within. Chances are good that if you are a successful professional today, you were a pretty bright fifth grade girl. She found that bright girls, when given something to learn that was particularly foreign or complex, were quick to give up--and the higher the girls' IQ, the more likely they were to throw in the towel. Why does this happen? How do girls and boys develop these different views? Boys, on the other hand, are a handful.

Academy Awards Acceptance Speeches | Margaret Herrick Library | Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Breaking is Not So Bad When it Comes to Engineering We asked leaders in the engineering field to share with us why and how they fell in love with engineering. Here's what Michelle had to say. I love engineering because... it lets me build solutions to help solve some of the world’s biggest issues such as how to provide clean water or how to make renewable energy. The one thing that people don't know about engineering is... it's not all about wearing hard hats. Some engineering is very delicate and carried out in special, clean-room labs. The moment that I knew that engineering was my "perfect fit" was... when I found out that as a failure engineer, I was allowed to break things and never put them back together! I think more kids would get excited about engineering... to remember that you can engineer with food, too. What do you do? About Michelle Michelle is a passionate researcher and teacher with a love of science and engineering. #FortheLoveofEngineering Series

Timbuktus tal - ord för ord I dag höll Fem i tolv-rörelsen sin årliga manifestation i Sveriges riksdag. Men när rapartisten Timbuktu tog emot pris närvarande inte talmannen Per Westerberg (M). – Som talman undviker Per Westerberg att närvara vid prisutdelningar som kan uppfattas som kontroversiella, säger hans pressekreterare Samira Zayane. Då höll han känslofyllda talet. "Jag tog med med mig en sak i dag som jag bara brukar ha med mig när jag lämnar Sverige, och det har jag inte gjort nu, för jag kom med en väldigt kort taxifärd. Jag tog med mig detta här (visar upp sitt pass). Det brukar jag bara ha, som sagt, när jag ska lämna Sverige för att påminna alla ställen jag kommer till, och var jag kommer ifrån. Det här betyder väldigt mycket för mig, detta, den här samlingen papper. Det är inte alla som bor i Sverige, och som lever i Sverige, som har ett sådant. Jag tog med den i dag för att säga att detta är mitt bevis i varje fall, på att jag inte är någon främling. Ni behöver inte vara toleranta mot mig. Tack."

Girl Rising A collaboration with the Pearson Foundation Girl Rising provides teachers with a unique opportunity to introduce students to the issues surrounding girls' education in the developing world, and it’s transformational power. To help teachers learn about the girls’ education movement and effectively share the information with their students, the Pearson Foundation has created this standards-aligned curriculum. Using the curriculum, teachers can engage their students in meaningful, theme-based social studies, political science, math, economics, and language arts lessons by encouraging them to think about important political, cultural, historical, and geographic issues tied to educating girls — and about their role as global citizens and their responsibilities to their own communities. The curriculum addresses inquiries of global scope such as, “How do economies grow when girls are educated?” We’d love to hear from you as you work through this curriculum!

Tacktal Tal på filmgalor utmärks av gråtmildhet, tacksamhet och oro över att inte minnas alla man borde tacka. Men några har brutit normen och gjort något helt annat. Julia Roberts bröt ut i gapskratt Emma Thompson parafraserade Jane Austen När Emma Thompson fick en Golden Globe för en roll i filmatiseringen av boken Förnuft och känsla av Jane Austen så läste hon upp en text om arbetet med filmen, skriven i författarens stil. Kjell Bergqvist tackade sig själv Kjell Bergqvist fick en Guldbagge för 2009 års bästa manliga biroll rollen som Jonny i filmen Bröllopsfotografen 2010. Selma Lagerlöf frågar sin far Här läser Thyra Freding, föreståndare på Mårbacka, det tacktal Selma Lagerlöf höll när hon fick Nobelpriset 1909.

Fly It Forward: Women Pilots Introduce Girls To Aviation By Giving Them Their First Flight Experience In late 2009, airline transport rated pilot Mireille Goyer was searching for events celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first female pilot license earned worldwide by Raymonde de Laroche on March 8, 1910. To her dismay, she found none. Determined to not let this important milestone for women pilots go unrecognized, Mireille launched Fly It Forward™, a global campaign designed to honor the pioneers by inspiring the next generation of women aviators. “I thought that the female pioneers that opened doors for all of us would be disappointed to see our lack of progress (0% to barely 6% in 100 years) and that the best way to celebrate them was to have a positive impact on female population growth, thus the idea to encourage pilots to pay specific attention to introducing girls to flying,” Mireille told Runway Girl Network, an innovative, airline passenger experience news site founded by aviation journalist Mary Kirby that highlights the work and accomplishments of women in aviation.

Politiska tal Politiker ska vinna väljare och ena rörelsen. Några av de allra skarpaste talarna finns förstås därför inom politiken. Här hör du några av dem. Julia Gillards brandtal om sexism och hyckleri Australiens premiärminister Julia Gillard tryckte till oppositionsledaren Tony Abbott om sexism och blev en riktig snackis i såväl sociala medier som i internationella nyhetsmedier. På bara en vecka var klippet uppe i 1,8 miljoner tittningarpå Youtube. "Den största segern vinner man i motståndarnas hjärta" Under sitt tal till kongressen som just valt honom till partiledare den 1 oktober 1969, hyllar Socialdemokraternas Olof Palmeden avgående partiledaren Tage Erlander. "Vägen går genom våra allra kärleksfullaste kritiker" "Någon sa att det här var en otacksam uppgift..." 1970 blev Gösta Bohmanny partiledare för Moderata samlingspartiet efter Yngve Holmbergsom avsatts. ”En människa kan mördas, men inte idéer” Två framstående politiker har mördats i Sverige i modern tid.

Now you could talk about her speech(gestures, content of her speech). You can talk about details that can influence people's beliefs. by misslansonneur May 7

Your comment: This is Emma Watson's speech at the UN conference. She is talking about sex equality and why she considers herself as a feminist. This speech is very famous because at the time when it was made it was rare to talk about these inequalities.


Yes, this has changed a lot over the years. by misslansonneur May 7
