Agreeing with Clint Smith's Ideas

Clint Smith gives a motivational speech in his TED Talk. In hisspeech, he starts by quoting the phrase of Martin Luther KingJunior in 1968; \"We will not remember the words of our enemies butthe silence of our friends.\" I believe in this phrase. Silence isour greatest enemy, and we need to counter this significant vice,for it will consume and defeat us without us knowing. The enemywill expose and beat us in darkness since it is an invisible enemy.The speech is focused on the Civil Rights Movements, students, andthe general population. The speaker acknowledges that the adverseconsequences of silence are shown in the general population throughdiscrimination and violence. I agree with Smith's notifications.Nike is an example of a company where women are harassed (HarvardBusiness Review, 2018). The media is supposed to inform the societyabout women's harassment. Working in an organization with a toxicculture will restrict openness (Harvard Business Review, 2018).When the victims of harassment are in silence, the media'sexistence will be ineffective since these affected women are theirprimary sources of information. \"One reason people do not speak upis the significant risk of doing so\" (Harvard Business Review,2018).

Some of the risks are marginalization or losing a job (HarvardBusiness Review, 2018). The victims of rape, for instance, fear tobe labeled outcasts since some cultures regard them as impure. Toescape a perceived adverse outcome, they chose to remain silent forthe rest of their lives. There is no need to be quiet.Democratization is all about expression. As mentioned in Clint'sspeech, the Civil Rights Movement acts as the mouthpiece of victimsof discrimination. But before reaching out to the advocates ofjustice, in case you are discriminated against because of yourcolor or gender, you need to reflect your thoughts. Silence issomething that you hold in your chest, and you fear of letting itgo. The moment of intimacy will help in understanding what you wantin life. Preparation to make a positive impact in society starts byspeaking out on discrimination forms. The speaker asserts thatpeople are interested in saying what others want to hear. They hidethe truth from them. When they notice something wrong, they choseto remain silent, provided they are not directly affected by thesituation. This is a recipe for discrimination. I agree with suchassertions, and the said persons accommodate and initiate thebystander effect.

The bystander effect exhibit assumption (Harvard BusinessReview, 2018). The speaker told himself that he was not anyone'sconscious because he needed to figure out his own. This is anassumption, and he tries to cushion this by reflecting on theproposed suggestions to his students. He advises his children tofirst understand themselves by forming a personal bond with God. Iagree that prayer is a powerful tool and is the source ofmotivation. In prayer, at least you will know that there is someonewho will listen and get you out of the problem. Prayers need to besupplemented with prayers. I have come across the phrase, \"Godhelps those themselves and love your neighbor as you loveyourself.\" So, whenever you observe that another person is introuble, please do not assume that she is in a position to solvethe problem. Freedom of speech and expression guides an ordinarycitizen. Whenever victimized, consider helping yourself by speakingout. Can anyone tell me in this what is this and what points Ishould take to make a summary of this paper? please help me.
