Dr. Sharon Jean-Phillipe

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). The speakers volume was just right he spoke high enough for the back of the room could here, and the speech was easy to understand. 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.

The affect of environmental issues occur everyday and in particular deforestation is becoming a highly ranked subject. From animals to the human race, the alacrity of trees that are cut down affects every individual in a variety of ways. Not only do people need to help the planet but they need to help themselves and further generations to come, such as children and grandchildren because these natural resources that are being taken away from society are as well shaping the future. For comprehensible reasons, forests use to make up the world, until man made creatures started to destroy and destruct the most important supply to human kind which are trees. Trees are crucial to every living entity for the reason of providing oxygen to all.

He also choose to use repetition in his speech which really helped him embed a strong clear message in the people's head. Some of the short phrase he kept repeating are:

The Copper Basin of southeastern Tennessee is an area that is climatically unique with a rich history rooted in copper mining. It is thought that man is responsible for the total destruction of the environment over this large area, but it is mostly contributed to the exclusive location. The Copper Basin was susceptible to negative environmental effects due to its topographical, geological, climatic, edaphic, and meteorological location. However, the copper mining had a transformative effect on the surrounding lands that of which are still recovering.

Diseases have been categorized as under a derogatory and lamentable category. However, Dr.Sharon Moalem and Jonathan Prince approach diseases from a different view in their scientific book Survival of the Sickest . They discuss that if diseases weren 't helpful, shouldn 't they have been eliminated through natural selection or shouldn 't humans have developed resistance to them through the use of evolution? Moalem and Prince answer the questions by going back in time and analyzing the uses of diseases, and come across surprises that may help humans in the future as they may have in the past. Though Moalem and Prince discussed many diseases in their book Survival of the Sickest, three diseases really stood out.

During the speech, I was also a good speaker in many ways. I had a good voice projection, my hand moment was consistent, I was always facing the audience and held eye contact, and had facial expressions to emphasize the importance of a topic. Right off the bat when I was explaining my citation saying According to the U.S Census Bureau “there are alone 5.7% Asian’s in the United States,” I was pointing my hands to make sure everyone was paying attention to the numbers. Another thing I did well during the speech was, that I kept eye contact with everyone during the speech

The author Julia Butterfly Hill book is a personal reference of the adversity she overcame when faced with saving a part of nature, a part of what defines her, a piece of something she would never let go of. In this novel the author gives biographical evidence of not only her love of saving the redwood trees. The story begins in December of 1996, in the town of Stafford, California. There was a mudslide which was catastrophic and buried seven homes. The removal of the redwood trees was what she states to be a cause and effect of this disaster because they absorb the moisture that causes erosion. She was up against the Maxxam

For my out of class speech, I went to hear Daisy Hernandez speak. Daisy Hernandez had an interview with a student about her life, her most recent book, and her upcoming book, after that she had a question and answer section with the audience. Three things Daisy Hernandez did well were she had examples to show she was an expert prepared for the question and answer section, and used different tones and pitches throughout. Three things she could improve on were her uses of quite a few vocal fillers, show her book when she was talking about it, and slow down her pace when answering her questions. The first part of the speech was an interview with Daisy Hernandez about her most recent book which was a memoir.

Sharon Olds writes extensively on family and relationships, addressing the many roles of the woman: mother, daughter, and lover – roles and experiences that she addresses candidly in a relatable and near-confessional manner through defamiliarization, candid description, and imagery. Readers take these simple examples to heart, visualizing and understanding each scenario Olds describes, ultimately able to relate. Assuming the narrator of the poems included in Part III of her 1983 collection of poems within The Dead and the Living is Olds’ own voice, readers are able to trace her personal transformation from someone with a troubled childhood to a strong mother for her own children, specifically in how she aligns her personal development with

The article mentions that the yellow cedar trees have been declining and provides three reasons to support. However the professor turn it down and provides its joustificatios to refuses each of the auther's opinion.

I took a public speaking class at NAU; however, I merely enrolled in this course because it was a requirement and I failed to fully embrace the meaning of the concept. This capstone, on the other hand, has accomplished in convincing me of the true power in communication. Professor Stroh arranged for several guest speakers, each with their own unique communication style, to address our class. I admired the abilities of each speaker and acquiring their skillset is a primary goal I have for the future. For example, Paul Melcher spoke eloquently, his lecture was well-structured, and he did not rely on notes for support. Consequently, I will strive to incorporate his strengths as a speaker in my effort to establish a dialogue with

In my third paper I would like to briefly talk about the historical and cultural context of the book, “The Island of Dr. Moreau” by H.G.Wells. The book was written in 1896 as a science fiction novel, but let’s look at some of the aspects of the book and apply it to today’s standards in the USA. As it turns out, the book actually influenced the start of several animal rights groups in Europe shortly after its release. Also, Wells had a firm belief that some of the things that happened in the book were entirely possible and that maybe one day in the future we would see these exact experiments happen.

It entails clear and persuasive articulation as well as engaging with the audience “it’s no good just standing and yakking away” (Horne, 2001, p.100). Hawke, at his best, was a polished, boastful and brilliant speaker. Fraser possessed a firm and ordered presentation which suggested he meant business, but he had a dry tone. Menzies was a gifted orator with some commentators suggesting he was one of Australia’s greatest speakers. He had a presence at the podium and quick wit which enabled him to respond quickly to interjections (Horne, 2001, p. 105).

Great leaders understand a speech has more significance than simply communicating a message. Leaders, like Queen Elizabeth I, appreciate the careful selection of words within a speech can greatly impact its audience. Furthermore, word choice has to clearly convey to its audience the purpose of the speech. Queen Elizabeth I 1588 Tilbury speech’s purpose was to move the troops into action, to elevate morale and to communicate her undying support and commitment. Accordingly, to deliver this message of significant importance, many speakers will use a multitude of techniques. Usually using vocal techniques such as raising their voice to emphasize each point, slowly increasing the volume of their pitch to stir emotion or simply shouting throughout

One of the most significant concerns that have existed in the ecosystem for decades now is the issue of pollution. Pollution in itself is the destruction of the normal concentration and manifestation of factors such as water, soil, air and others in the ecosystem. This destruction largely arises from the human activities that often lead to misbalance, increased wastes concentration and improper positioning of the necessary and unnecessary additions to the environment. This often leads to the destruction of biodiversity, which is an important balance to the whole cycle of living organisms in that they support each other for their co-existence. If at all the number of animals reduce in the world to a very small number then a threat is posed to the living organisms since it will translate to it having to reduce also (Turner 2014).
