Some EASY clarification
E - an original example sentence using the word, including a
context clue which illustrates the meaning (you can't say: I am
bombastic. This gives no clue as to the words meaning)
A - an antonym if possible; if not, then a logical contrasted idea
(what the word is not)

3. S - a synonym or simplified definition (in your own words that
you understand; do not use a word you don’t know to define a
word you don’t know!)
Y - your personal connection to the word's meaning using prior
knowledge and experience of your world
(this is not a sentence, just 1-3 nouns or phrases that help you
connect to the new word's meaning)
Think of tone as one of three possible scales:
Positive (+): ranging from a little bit + to very +
Negative (-): ranging from a little bit - to very -
Neutral (objective; no emotion; factual)

The State of California should Legalize Prostitution

4. Project #2, Part 2
Sarah Flute
Speech 6, Sect 1234
November 24, 2015
According to the 2012 New California Report, in 2011,
California had:
590,000 Human Papillomavirus Infections
250,000 Trichamaniasis Infections
180,000 Cases of Chlamydia
2,900 HIV Infections
We need to do something about this problem.
In this presentation I will:
Define the current harms to the status quo
Explore the causes of the problem
Present a plan of action
Examine how this plan will alleviate the harms
Explore additional benefits to making prostitution legal
Therefore, the State of California should legalize prostitution
There are two major reasons why keeping prostitution illegal
hurts the status quo:
1
It hurts the health of Californians

5. 2
It wastes resources
Harm 1:
Keeping prostitution illegal hurts the health of Californians.
According to the August 1, 2012 New York Times, over half off
all sexually transmitted diseases are originally passed through
the act of prostitution.
Prostitutes don’t have access to quality healthcare.
Harm 2:
Keeping prostitution illegal is a drain on resources.
Prostitutes clog Emergency Rooms and clinics
The February 2013 Mother Jones notes that police resources are
wasted
Arrests of prostitutes and customers clogs jails and slows down
the justice system

6. The Causes
We are dealing with a structural inherency
Current laws no longer deter the behavior
Prostitution can’t be regulated because of its illegal nature
A Plan of Action
Agent: The State of California
Mandates:
1. Congress will pass a bill that legalizes prostitution.
2. Zoning laws will be created to ensure that prostitution
does not occur within city limits or a 5 mile radius of
schools, churches or designated residential zones.
3. A Workers Union will be created.
a. Prostitutes must be a member of the union and be
granted a license through the union.
b. Workers must pay union dues.
c. A company sponsored healthcare plan will be made
available for workers.
d. The union will provide condoms and the use of
condoms is mandatory for sexual intercourse.
e .Prostitutes must pay state and federal taxes.
4. Each prostitute must be tested for all pertinent sexually
transmitted diseases every 45 days.
5. If a prostitute tests positive for a STD, he or she must
have 2 consecutive tests with negative results before
returning to work.
Enforcement: Fines will be levied for both workers and

7. brothels.
First offense: Worker: $2500; Brothel: $5000
Second offense: Worker $5000 and 30 day suspension;
Brothel $10,000
Third offense: Worker: $5000 and license is revoked;
Brothel $20,000 and license revoked for 30 days.
Funding and Staffing: Normal means. If funding is needed to
pay for inspectors, etc., it will be taken from the tax revenue
collected.
Timeline: Immediately
Solvency
Harm 1: We protect the health of Californians
Progressive.org notes on November 4, 2010 that mandatory
testing decrease transmission rates
Mandated condom usage saves lives
Access to healthcare increases treatment options
Harm 2: We stop wasting resources
Reduce strain on ER’s and Clinics
Reduces cost for police
Reduces jail/prison overcrowding
Reduces strain on justice system
In addition to solving the harms, the plan also has several
additional benefits
Zoning Laws decreases prostitution from occurring in
residential areas

8. Increase control of Human Trafficking
Collecting Taxes will Boost the Economy
Please consider protecting the health of Californians and
protecting our resources
Legalize prostitution!

Belonging
“ten teeth past human” (2)
The idea of belonging is represented in this image in a couple of
ways. First, Arnold refers to his extra teeth as making him
something other than human. So he is a freak, an odd ball,
different, and do does not belong. Also, this image is of a fish
that has many extra teeth. These teeth are not only extra, they
seem unnecessary and even harmful to the existence of the fish
(how does it close its mouth, or eat, or defend itself)? Finally,
the fish is alone in this image. This represents the feeling of

10. isolation, which is opposite of belonging.
