Amelia Earhart

"Please know I am quite aware of the hazards, I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others."


Amelia Earhart is simply a courageous women who fought to prove that women are capable of accomplishing their dreams just as much as men are. At an early age Amelia had the dream of becoming a pilot and was determined to live it. Amelia was a strong woman who challenged conventional women behavior in order to pursue being a pilot. She worked hard as a nurses aid to earn money to buy her first plane. Through her continuous determination, Amelia's pilot career took off soaring as she began to set and break many records. At the age of 40, she was ready for a monumental, and final, challenge. She wanted to be the first woman to fly around the world. Even though she never completed her mission, Amelia Earhart proved to the world that women are strong and can have their own dreams. She became an icon for women and will always be remembered for her courage, vision, and groundbreaking achievements, both in aviation and for women. 

Debate Round 2

This style of debating was much more effective than the first time. Everyone had the chance to voice their opinion and listen to the opposing views. Also the class seemed more prepared and ready to speak their mind. I enjoyed listening to all the debates because everyone came out swinging especially the religious debate. I was glad to see no blood shed on that one. Religion is a very touchy subject and debating on it is very hard since people take it personally. I do believe that the opposing side of religion was a little disrespectful and did more bashing then trying to prove it to be fiction. I don't think the point of this assignment was to claim God of being a "bitch". Other than that, I enjoyed these debates and the interesting views of my classmates.
