Audience demographics are an important piece of information to know when constructing a speech. Having had multiple classes, I have knowledge as to who I will be speaking to. My class consists of eighteen people who are roughly 18-20 years of age and one professor. Beings that this class is science related, most of the students enrolled are pursuing a degree in health care with a few exceptions of undecided majors. Background information for each person is limited because my personal interactions with each student has been minimal. From my observations, I have concluded that most of us probably come from the Midwest with a few from the coast or a different country. With that being said, we all came to Augustana to get a college education and …show more content…
With that information, I think I will tell a story that the audience can relate to themselves about how every May my allergies get so bad that I have a hard time opening my eyes because they are so swollen and I sneeze what seems to be a hundred times a day. I will try to keep my vocabulary and language usage at an understandable level that the students can follow along. For example, instead of saying cetirizine hydrochloride I will use Zyrtec. Keeping things concise will help engage my audience the best I can. I will not go into detail about how Zyrtec used to be a prescribed drug and not that long ago was allowed to be used over the counter. Instead I will briefly discuss the topic and move on. Visual aids will be helpful is attracting the attention and help further explain the concepts that I will be addressing like a picture of the chemical make-up, what possible symptoms Zyrtec treats, and a short time-line of the evolution of the drug. Aside from all of this, I will try to keep my tone and speed consistent to not distract from the point that I will be explaining. Hopefully this will be enough to alter the audience’s thoughts about a boring …show more content…
The podium provides a set place where I will stand, but I will have to make sure not to be rigid but instead appear natural is my posture. I plan to achieve this by keeping my arms gently folded on the podium. The projection screen is in the corner of the room along with the side wall, so for clarification I may have to walk over and actually point rather than using a laser because I do not feel comfortable in my ability to accurately point with that tool. Everyone should be able to a have a visual sight line from their seat to the podium, but my main obstacle will be over competing with the fan in the back of the room that gives off a very loud noise. I will have to project my voice outside of my comfort zone in order to ensure that everyone can clearly understand what I am saying. With this clear thought out process I should be able to engage the audience and keep their attention while remaining
Some examples of demographic characteristics are age, gender, cultural diversity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Make sure you know the general age group of the audience you will be speaking to so you aren’t talking to a group of young kids as if they are adults and vice versa. Whether you have an audience of both males and females, or just one or the other, make sure you are using good illustrations and examples to better fit the different gender groups and you aren’t using sexist language. It is essential that you are aware of your audience’s diverse backgrounds because one thing you say could easily offend someone’s race or ethnicity. Lastly, you must be very careful when referring to the topic of religion.
Demographics: My audience will consist of males and females who are young adults that attend Michigan State University. Also, my audience will consist of many ethnicities and nationalities. My speech will be affected by the audience demographics because I will be discussing a topic that has to do with a history the audience did not experience and will not be able to relate to as easily. Since my demographics are different than the demographics of my audience I will deliver this speech in hopes that it will expand the audiences knowledge and understanding about why affirmative action is still used today.
For Mattel, the demographic most often used is children, ages 0-15. Mattel is a toy manufacturer, providing toys and games for children. The demographic ages 2-6 is a good range because these ages provide a lot of the toys related to playing, but also to toys based on movies, television, and education. For this demographic I would first look at the birth rates in the overall global market to identify if the number of children is expanding or contracting. Looking at a five year trend, 2013-2018, the trend will most likely continue its downward movement.
Marshall County Schools are located in Marshall County, Alabama. The county is surrounded by Madison and Jackson Counties to the north, Morgan County to the west, Cullman, Blount, and Etowah Counties to the south, and DeKalb County to the east. The majority of the schools are found in heavily populated rural areas. Marshall County is unique due to the fact that there are four city school districts in addition to the Marshall County School System. This poses a challenge concerning funding within the county. This is due to the fact that the city school systems are located in four of the largest cities within the county and compose approximately 90% of the tax base revenue for the county. Our county school system is made up of primarily rural communities that lack a viable tax base. This combined with the fact the Marshall County has such a high poverty rate in general (currently slightly above 81%) has left the county school system with little in regards to a local feasible and workable revenue source.
I ensured whilst I made my presentation that I spoke clearly and steadily. I have a tendency to talk quickly so I paid particular attention to controlling the speed of my voice. I also ensured I maintained eye contact with my audience and tried not to focus just on one individual.
I must say that I do not think that the ad or the style of the ad targeted the baby boomer population adequately. First the message "slice of life" is a little alarming because most people at that age are very sensitive when it comes remarks or messages that say anything about their life especially when it seems to take from life most people want their whole life. You do not want to confuse them in any way. Baby boomers do trust print more than online advertising or anything they see on T.V. "76% of adults age 55 or older are newspaper readers. The Rest and relax, your time has come!" is also a bad message because they did not show enough credentials and options to say such a thing, you have to earn the buyers trust first and should avoid statements
I am teaching U.S. History at Merrillville High School. Though having one or two students who are on the college-bound trek, the classes are the general trek of courses. In my classes, African-Americans make up the largest portion of the population at 60% while Hispanics are second with 18% and whites are 13.8%. Correspondingly, according to city-data.com, the student body broadly reflects the demographics of Merrillville. This, in contrast, is markedly different from the demographics where I attended high school; La Porte High School. In the La Porte School system, whites are the majority at 79% followed by Hispanics at 12% then, African-Americans at 2.8%. Similarly, the demographics of the La Porte are also reflected in the
In this paper, we analysed the target audience, big and small differences, content, and ways to improve the annual report. The Hershey Company’s Annual Report and 10K have many differences and few similarities, where each document is written to communicate financial statement disclosures to its intended audience.
Intended Audience: My Ideal audience for this speech is primarily anyone of voting age and working in Missouri, with a little extra emphasis on anyone that is part of a collective bargaining unit.
To gain sufficient depth and representative results of the UK infancy population, this research will utilise a sample size of 5,000 infants. Additionally, five analyse sites geographically across the UK will be used for the outcome measure testing, and theses site will be located in London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Newcastle, and Glasgow. The research will be recorded at these sites during the 2-year period. Mother will be recruited as healthy women and no medical history, categorized by age boundaries of 27 to 32 years old. Since the women who aged above 35 years old would have a greater risk of general maternal health problems such as high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, which can contribute to complications for both mother and infant. Infants are singleton healthy based on full term, which is 32-42week, weighing ≥2.5 kg at birth, to avoid to disperse the amount of breast milk in case of twin or triplets.
We are on target this week. Leslie has completed the problem statement, Merari has completed the Target Demographics/Population, and Dwayna is on schedule to have her slide on the impact of the Problem completed this week. Our communication this week has been outstanding. We had several email conversations as well as our scheduled Skype conversation Thursday evening. We have worked well together to ensure our presentation would reflect a common theme. At this point in time I do not foresee any issues that will prevent us from successfully completing our team
The study included data from 6,800 participants who had a mean age of 29. On average 61 % of households were headed by men. Only about 3.9 % of participants in this study were smokers. The majority of participants were not employed and the majority reported that their highest level of education was up to the secondary level. Most participant residences were in urban areas where houses are mostly made of concrete with zinc roofs and cement or tiled flooring. 68 % of participants report using bottled water as their main source of drinking water. This still leaves 32% of the population drinking water from sources that are likely contaminated. Most participants reporting having electricity, but only about 60 % have refrigeration in their homes and only about half of the participants reported having a toilet with a piped sewer system in their home.
Chapter 3 Assignment: Demographics of My Leisure: A Self-study Much has been written in regards to the important of leisure down through years. Leisure means free-time, relaxed state of mind, and recreation activities, such as art music, sports, etc. In fact, leisure activities help build cells and natural pathways of our mental health and aid in our growth as human beings. Leisure provides the individual an opportunity to find balance in life so that they are in control of how to their time, which is a very important consideration.
In public speaking of any form to a diverse group of individuals, my main consideration as the speaker is my concentration on the audience that I am speaking to. In starting an effective presentation,
When an arts organisation is balancing their artistic, financial and social objectives, the organisation is also thinking about engaging and targeting a specific audience for whom these objectives will suit. To do this, several approaches to audience development will be taken in order to help the organisation meet their overall aims.
