“Can you live in that moment, as best as you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that gentlemen then you’re perfect.” Doesn't take much dose it? This speech has so much meaning and and purpose behind it.

Criticising others takes a great deal of courage, especially when this criticism could reflect upon one’s own work.

Shirley Chisholm's speech is effective because of her use of logical flow of ideas, persuasive techniques, credible sources, and counter-arguments.

Once again his overall posture and confident level was excellent. The speaker shows passion for the subject he is speaking on from the hand movements when he speaks on poverty and domestic abuse as being trivial (a means to an end).

When given a speech a speaker should consider his audience in the wording of his speech, is he giving a speech to children for educational purposes or a group of college students, this is call no one left behind so the entire audience is on track.

In the TEDx Talk “The Magic of Not Giving a F***”, Sarah Knight guides the audience through her journey to living a carefree life where she is happy because as the title says she doesn’t “give a f***”. She does this by doing what she would prefer to do with her time and money, if there is an option to do so. She tells the audience her experiences and later goes on to teach and guide the audience through the process of not “giving a f***” or say no to things they don’t want to do in a polite and honest manner so that they too can live a carefree life like her if they so desire it. In a brief analysis of the different modes of persuasion, ethos, pathos, and logos her speech was very interesting and had many strong points; however, there were points throughout the speech that really did detract from the overall quality of the speech and potentially the affected the experience of the listeners as well.

However, the speech flipped an interesting emotional switch when she said that she was very anxious about giving the speech. She implied that she wasn’t sure what to say to a group of talented women. I don’t exactly understand her thought when it came to this part, because what would be the point of telling the audience that you’re anxious.

Barbara Bush gave a speech unlike any other, a speech to an audience that had gone as far as to protest her even coming to speak to the point where her husband the President of the United States had to stand up for her (Eidenmuller). A speech that combined the use of Aristotle's Ethos, Pathos, and Logos in such a manner that each aspect grew the next. As one aspect developed in her speech it boosted the other up as well, allowing her to come from behind and present the True American Dream - the individual's personal dream. To an audience that despite her individual accomplishments looked down on her because of her Title First Lady.

From a communication and speech analysis stand point Ms. Alexander kept her self poised, keep her tone of voice smooth and inflecting when she needed to drive certain points home. She kept the audience engaged by moving around telling personal anecdotes that related to her topic to allow the persuasiveness of her speech to drive home about the problem of the criminal justice system and race as a whole. Her first point that really captivates and hooks you in within a matter of minutes of listening to the speech is when she says, “ People of color are the main ones incarcerated…Put in cages and treated worse than animals.” Right their she captivates and audience that otherwise believe she's crazy talking about race in the criminal justice system.

Every speaker was humble even though they have this amazing world changing technology. If they went up there and were prideful there would be this disconnect and your message wouldn’t be heard. Danielle has this high up position and has tons of experience but states she still has more to learn. It put her and the audience on the same level.

Throughout the speech, the speaker used nonverbal communication many of times. To begin, he was constantly using his hands as he spoke to place emphasis on what he was saying and draw the listener in. Further, his entire body moved as he spoke which shows the listener that he is interested and engaged in what he is speaking about. Finally, as stated above, direct eye contact was not lacking in this speech which gives the listener the feeling that not only is the speaker interested in what he is talking about but that they should listen to him because he is powerful and knowledgeable in this area. Overall, nonverbal communication was of quality but I would

Communication is a process that allows us to construct identities based on the interpretation and intention of speech acts. Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, spent most her life identified by her master identity as a cis-white-male and until a few years ago she adopted the interactional identity of a transgender female. In this paper, I will demonstrate how various forms of speech acts build, remain and/or change the master and interactional identity of Caitlyn Jenner as well as her relationships to others. To do so I will explain how Caitlyn Jenner seeks advice from her close family member Scott Disick to help her understand the variety of speech acts coming from both her private and public life: ranging from Scott who demonstrate face redress and accept her based on her new interaction identity as a female, while also dealing with the face threats that come from those (particularly males) who only see her as her previous master identity as a male.
