Unit 3 New genre ( Audience)

Thank you all for being here for today’s important discussion, for continuing to demonstrate
your commitment to the present issue. We’ve discussed at length the importance of
responding to the specific needs of girls and girls in humanitarian crises and also the dire
circumstances many Latina women and girls find themselves within the USA. We’ve
stressed the importance of not only meeting these needs but also ensuring that we’re
grounding our support and interventions in strategies that build their resilience and empower
them-to make just and equal societies and intuitions.And yet a way to try this effect
continues to be our common challenge.We all know that refugee female-headed
households not sharing resources with other households are those most susceptible to
insecurity.We all know that gender-based violence and violence against women continues to destroy
the lives of girls and girls across the region, and prolonged displacement will deepen and
exacerbate this.We all know that women’s rates of empowerment amongst the refugee
community remain woefully low.
Today, I shall speak on behalf of countless voiceless Latina women that are left in despair
thanks to illegal immigration status.Abusive and controlling men are continuously exploiting
and blackmailing them. Our Latina girls face domestic abuse. But they do not report their
cases because of the fear of being deported.Violence Against Women Act(VAWA) could be
a significant institution to assist refugees to cope with violence. Today we shall raise their
voice,we shall uncover the molested rights of our Latina sisters. We acknowledge that
there’s lots of labor that has been put by VAWA because it was signed into office by
respected president William Jefferson Clinton and it proved to be the largest source of
refuge for girls that suffer from any kind of violence. in keeping with research, it’s been
known that between the years 2005 and 2007 almost 1,116,000 people have received
violence.
VAWA has proved a focus in guarding the rights of refugees and helping them to place an
end to the continued issue of abuse against women.I examine a girl named Costa, she said
that her boyfriend exploited her by restricting her freedom by blackmailing her with police as
she was an undocumented immigrant. This issue also highlights the oppressed women
refugees.
Today I’m here to aware all those Latina women who are tormented by this trouble.You
guys don’t have to panic, you guys don’t have to feel helpless, you guys don’t have to feel
oppressed because VAWA has given you guys the proper to petition against abusive
husbands,boyfriends,or anyone else. The spots like Dallas,la,Denver,Houston and urban
centers where Latino communities have grown up to 44% and domestic abuse has dropped
to 16%. We are here to empower and strengthen you guys whose voice has not been raised
appropriately.I assure you that you simply guys are visiting to get your rights to guard your
dignity,pride,and faith.
Moreover, a replacement law has been implemented referred to as FD4,which mandated
that every one of the local officials must report detaining requests and if not could face
serious fines and prosecution. We don’t seem to be inquisitive about somebody’s
immigration status,we are only interested in providing the right to our Latina community, and
that we will.
The wail of the immigrant Latina Women exploited in agony has been heard and you guys
don’t seem to be alone, we are with you, and that we are visiting to fight for you. The hour
requires that you just guys should bear in mind the fact that you just have gotten rights and
you’ll benefit yourself by them. We are raising our voice to allow you guys to be powerful and
know that you just can evolve too. We are raising our voices to form awareness for our
unsanctioned Latina women and allow them to know that we feel their pain and allow them
to know that there’s someone who is fighting for them to protect their integrity.You guys may
find respite within the aid that VAWA should offer violence is violence, regardless of the
immigration status of someone. Everyone has the proper to induce support from the officials
and government if their life is being threatened and violated. you ought to not be scared to
hunt help because the rules and regulations are made to guard you to not harm you.
There are plenty of successful Latina women and if we empower this community then it can
sway allow them to play an important role within the country. We cannot allow anybody to
suppress justified human rights.
I want to make sure our Latina women who are suffering and that we shall try our maximum reiugees.

I want to make sure our Latina women who are suffering and that we shall try our maximum
to secure their genuine rights. Don’t fear anyone who is assaulting your rights instead you
must raise your voice and let the suppressors face the results. Our country is thought for
Justice and equality and that we shall not allow anybody to attack the sovereignty of the
country. Nobody is above the law and everybody is guaranteed to follow it. we’d like to make
sure that we are raising the tide of everyone, not only refugees but also of these living within
the communities generously hosting them. Many of those communities also are challenged
by structural gender inequalities, and only until we also address these within the institutions
and organizations that serve refugees,can we observe our commitments to handle gender
inequalities within the refugee populations.
We need an accountability framework that ensures that we all live up to the world
commitments that we’ve made-in particular a number of those I just listed that were made
at the planet Humanitarian Summit-as detailed within the Grand Bargain. We should
measure our success not just in whether needs are met,but also whether through meeting
those needs we’ve also empowered those we are serving and worked to make sure equality
between men and women.
In the end, I want to say that we are here to help our Latina women refugees community. We
are and we will succeed in our efforts. Thank You!

Artist statement.

Motivation is all that matters when it comes to beginning or embarking upon a journey in pursuit of perfection. My journey started with seeing the imperfection of the world. The topic I choose to take up was mental health and its possible cure because I felt that mental health is a major problem and it needed a lot of work. Motivated by the hopes of the people, both suffering from mental illness and the ones who know people suffering from mental illness, to get cured, I took up the responsibility of research and found that meditation can be the most effective way to deal with mental health. The second problem I had to go through was the delivery of my discovery to my intended audience, how was I supposed to let people know about all the wonderful things I discovered? Well, I thought that throughout history, poetry and songs were the fastest medium of spreading information. I thought of writing a song, but reality struck my dream down (i.e, I can’t sing) so I thought that poetry would be the best medium of delivery. While doing research on poetry I had received a notification alerting me that one of my peers had commented on my project proposal. After reading it, his comments made a deep impact on my decision. He stated that New York is a firm for hip-hop and rap so why not write rap lyrics. This made perfect sense as most of the people dealing with anxiety tend to be in their teens or twenties and this particular age group is heavily influenced by pop culture. My decision radically transformed from producing a calm and serene piece of poetry to producing a rather rough and crude and raw version of the poem and tag it as a rap. I also found out that most of the rappers do not have lyrics that rhyme but their lyrics sound good because their music or their soundtrack is amazing. This was another challenge to me, now I had to figure out a particular type of music pattern and merge it with my lyrics which sounds easy but is not. I needed to produce my own music and to do that I had to learn how to get technical (learn to operate the softwares that allow music production). Then I had to refer other artists’ work to come up with an exceptional piece of lyrics that would catch the attention of my audience and make sense at the same time. I had to integrate instructions on how to meditate through a rap song which sounds absurd, but this is the only sane approach that would deliver this particular information to the public mass. If we take time to look at the influential rappers of the past, individuals such as Tupac and B.I.G. or Eazy-E, they brought their own experience and expressed it in a raw manner through their work, they combined emotion and rhythm which is why their music had so much impact. I plan to do something similar; I may not be able to achieve their level of supremacy, but my intention is clear and dedicated to the benefit of others.

Discussion Forum ( Unit 3, 250 words)

When I started my research work about the afterlife topic, at the end of unit 2, I thought my audience would be at fist my classmates and every human being. I considered such a big audience since life and death concerns everybody, and I thought it would appeal to everyone. I felt an introduction to major religions and their teaching of the afterlife would be perfect for my vast audience.
So far, so good, until in Unit 3, I used a different genre that addressed the afterlife question from a different perspective. This material provided more scientific and medical data. When I read the Ben Brumfield CNN article “Afterlife feels even more real than real researchers say,” it was an eyeopener for me. I never before heard of the Near-Death Experience, even more interesting what happens to the human brain during this state, and what stories people who had this tell. This material shed a lot of light on me and helped me answer many questions that I had before about the afterlife.
Therefore I decided to narrow my research down and now aim more at a more specific audience. Since my genre is more rational, scientific, and medical, it should appeal more to the category of people who are possibly non-believers, agnostics, or atheists. This task, I already try to fulfill in unit 3. The afterlife question’s research project was a tremendous academic writing experience that helped me think differently now of death. I hope this will help people at death differently.
