Formal Speech My speech is intended to sensitize our schools’ community about the importance of identifying strange characters and unusual activities within the institution. The audience will consist of the staff and students in my school. Their interest in the topic is for them to find out how they can prevent and deal with hazardous situations that may occur within the institution. I will introduce myself, clearly state what the speech is about and why I think everyone needs to be keen on adhering to the teaching it conveys. I will have researched previous instances where other institutions of learning have experienced a gross violation of their tranquility.

Plato used the desired unattainable beauty, which is beyond the form of body and face to describe how, when coupled with imitation and inspiration, gives a perfect kind of divine aesthetic. Karl Barth made an extensive contribution to the discipline of theology aesthetics. He explained how the church builds on new forms of aesthetics in the twentieth century to commission its work. David Bell, an influential contemporary art scholar, is bringing a unique perspective into art by advocating for aesthetic engagement. This is an approach of introducing aesthetics to an early childhood learning for both learning art comprehensively as well as developing advanced techniques of learning at an early age.

The ‘Antis’ movement was primarily entrenched in the need to parade the feebleness of the women fraternity beyond their old-style roles, widespread partialities and the fear of change. According to most of the anti-suffragism arguments, the women’s suffrage movement strongly prompted deep-seated feminism eventually undermining the traditional social order and gender roles3.
