This woman uses creative images and her own body to illustrate her presentation.  I was interested in this particular video because of the difference between the traditional speeches. It's a creative twist that keeps the audiences attention.

Controversial Photo

When I google searched for a controversial picture, the majority of them had to do with Judiasm or Islam.  These religions are very historic and have their own sets of holy objects as well as places.  In my opinion, their culture and attitudes are the reason why they have an on going conflict. Violence is typically associated when discussing these religions. I understand their issue but I don't agree on how they handle it. Since I have no connection to either religions, I'll let them figure it out.
