Discussions have their importance among new audiences to witness. These discussions and speeches often give a representation of certain topics that may be unfamiliar for some audiences. It’s vital to inform groups of people of situations that are happening around the world. Also, the way that these valuable discussions are delivered may allow for a better understanding from the audience. The speakers can lead groups of people to be more informed about certain situations occurring. Personally, for my speeches in class I had to make good use of specific techniques to get the most engagement from my audience. These techniques could seem ambiguous until they’re applied in the speech. Preparing tactics and outlines for a speech has …show more content…
This brings about an opportunity for the audience to have empathy to the speaker(Beebe 192). Similarly, the speaker Earnest in the video “Bringing world class healthcare to the poorest”, mentioned a personal reference about living in America with advanced health care, but most people don’t have that option in other countries(Earnest 1). This personal reference will illustrate a real life situation of an individual living in a developing nation. This can bring about better understanding about the struggles of other people. Both speakers used personal references that further aided the situations occurring. However, Sunitha used a personal life occurrence that appeals to the audience more emotionally. Earnest used more of an analogy that could happen to certain groups of people. The effectiveness of each reference would depend on each audience member since everyone could react differently. At the same time, Sunitha may get more attention from the audience with her use of emotional appeal. The effectiveness of each speaker and their techniques could be debated. It’s vital to use such techniques when trying to get the most impact to an audience. Second of all, a vital component of a speech would be the use of persuasive techniques. These tactics can go along way for any speech to reach the audience in a more meaningful way. Persuading the audience will allow for better engagement. For instance, the book
Overall, "Communicating for Change" is a book that should be recommended for anyone seeking to improve their communication skills. Whether you're a long-time public speaker or someone who simply wants to communicate more effectively in everyday life, Stanley's insights offer valuable guidance and inspiration. After reading this book, I feel equipped with a better understanding of how to craft sermons or any other public speaking I
An effective speaker carefully considers the audience when preparing a speech. Ask yourself these questions:
Effective speakers engage audiences with provocative ideas that extend beyond the time in which the speech is delivered.
What does it take to prepare a successful speech? There are many factors to take into account when becoming an effective speaker. First, I need to make sure that I am audience-centered. This means that I will need to “keep the audience foremost in mind at every step of speech preparation and presentation.” This means that I need to take into consideration the demographic and situational factors. Demographic audience analysis is when I focus the audience’s demographic factors such as age and gender. For example, when doing a presentation in a classroom setting, I will need to adjust my speech to make it less formal and more humourous because the audience is students who are in their late teens. This will help gain the interest of my classmates. When a politician does a speech for their party, they need to take into consideration that the age of the citizens, the different religions, sexual orientations, and people’s different cultural and racial background. Their presentation will be quite formal for people to take them seriously. When
Sex trafficking is essentially systemic rape for profit. Force, fraud and coercion are used to control the victim’s behavior which may secure the appearance of consent to please the buyer (or john). Behind every transaction is violence or the threat of violence (Axtell par. 4). Just a decade ago, only a third of the countries studied by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had legislation against human trafficking. (Darker Side, par.1) Women, children, and even men are taken from their homes, and off of the streets and are brought into a life that is almost impossible to get out of. This life is not one of choice, it is in most times by force. UNODC estimates that the total international human trafficking is a
The way a speaker communicates to his audience is everything to becoming a great speaker. If you cannot portray your message in a way that makes sense to people, then you have failed at communication. Throughout history, influential speakers have used different methods of speaking to gather their audience on board with them. The audience has to remain interested at all times to fully grasp what you are trying to say or do. Once you lose the audience then you are wasting time standing in front of them speaking. Two major individuals in our world’s history grasped the concept of speaking among a large audience very well. John F. Kennedy (JFK), who became the 35th president of the United States, did not become president just by standing in front of a crowd, he used his abilities to speak to influence the people to vote for him. Adolf Hitler, who became well-known for reasons very frowned upon, won his audience over by the way he spoke to them. Although they have two different styles of speaking, the two became great leaders. Although Adolf Hitler left behind an evil legacy, I still believe he was a better speaker than JFK.
The speech has to be important and interesting, so people can learn something about it. Sometimes people will believe in my speech because their values or beliefs, and my audience is young people that might be interested on my topic. In addition, I can explain why vegan diets are bad for professional athletes, so the audience will be interested because
Throughout history, speeches have been made to motivate, inspire, educate, and inform. People such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and even Adolph Hitler have made speeches that have changed thousands of people’s views, made a country believe that every member of one religion is responsible for all their problems, or unite a nation under one shared dream. Speeches are extremely powerful tools, and the importance of them are vastly underestimated. Speeches are so powerful that they can change a whole nation’s view in just a few short minutes. The speaker must connect to the audience on a personal and emotional level in order to attain the goal that they set forth for the speech.
An acceptable and memorable speech deliverance is dependent on the orator’s ability to communicate key ideas through the usage of rhetorical devices in order to present and achieve their message or key idea. Malala Yousafzai’s speech, addressed towards all nations, strives to engage the audience through the usage of direct quotations, anaphora and evidence, to highlight and stand up for human rights and education. Likewise, Barack Obama’s speech against Gun Violence/Gun Control addresses every single person in the United States, and globally, to support his fight at ending mass shootings, largely through the use of direct quotations, anaphora and evidence.
What is the purpose of a speech? To try to get information out to an audience. How can you get information out, if you can not get the audience's attention? Being able to understand how and why connecting to the audience is an important factor to giving a good speech. When keeping your audience in mind during a speech, it is important to know about your audience, to adapt to your audience during the speech, and to relate to your audience in order to keep the audience intrigued the whole time.
I want to talk about a girl named Danielle. She likes swimming, SpongeBob, Mexican food, writing poetry, getting her nails painted, and Harry Potter books. Sometimes she’s moody; but mostly she is open and eager to be loved. When she smiles, huge dimples crease her chubby face and they are capable of melting hearts. She’s much like any other 11-year-old girl in America, except for one critical difference. Over the past year of her life, she has been trafficked up and down the East Coast by a 29-year-old pimp; and sold nightly on Craigslist to adult men who ignore her dimples and baby fat and purchase her for sex. Sadly, Danielle is one of many faceless victims who are all over the world (Lloyd 1). In order to end this modern day slave trade known as sex trafficking we must educate ourselves on the topic and actively get involved in the efforts to end trafficking.
On the news, or on the radio, or in the newspaper we sometimes hear horrible news, like the death of 20 children and 6 adults, in Sandy Hook Elementary School, for example. The news of a man killing so many innocent people are hard to believe in or even imagine. However, what if I say that around 30 millions of people around the world are dying too. They are not dying from bullets, but their bodies and souls are dying from oppression of other humans because these people are in slavery. Modern slavery, just like any other slavery throughout our history, kills dreams, hopes, potentials, and lives of millions of people. Today, there are many different kinds of slavery. One of them is sex trafficking, which is a profitable business to people
My heart aches for women who endured sex trafficking. After college, I long to join the World Race, an 11-month humanitarian missions trip. Afterwards, I intend to obtain my Masters and intern with an international organization that helps women out of sex trafficking. My desire and motive is to help those women get back on their feet and teach them confidence, that they are priceless, worthy, and that they have purpose! I would like to start a non-profit that concentrates on improving women in their spiritual life, to become their best self, and be successful members of their society. When I was younger, I had dreams to change the world. At first I felt that to be studying nebulas, but I realized my change for the world is people.
Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) in the United States is a topic that is not mentioned very often and many Americans are unaware of how serious of a problem we have with DMST right here in our very own country. I was unaware of the seriousness of sex trafficking until recently when our church had a guest speaker who was a victim. She started being groomed at the age of four for use in sex trafficking. Her father who is a Baptist preacher and her mother was a school teacher are the people that started prepping her for sex trafficking. As a society we need to be more informed and aware of the seriousness of DMST so that we protect our younger generation from this crime.
Human Trafficking has become the modern day slavery; endangering millions if innocent humans. What is human trafficking? Well human trafficking or sex trafficking is when someone is illegally moving people from one country to another; it’s typically known for forced labor or forced sexual exploitation. Many victims are tricked into thinking that they are getting a better job offer, better living environment or even tricked into thinking they will be moved safely to a better country. This illegal industry is making a fortune, over $32 billion yearly, and is spreading all over the world. Now many people aren’t aware of the major threat and that is because people aren’t aware of what’s going on. For example, many of the students in my English class were unaware of what human trafficking was. During the class we had the opportunity to read Sold written by Patricia McCormick, and it opened up all of our eyes. It gave us the perspective of what the slaves had to deal with. With the book and the recent movies, like Taken, have opened up the eyes of society and see how dangerous and common human trafficking is.
