“As we explore persuasion, we can divide the persuasive communication into three parts: the communicator, the message, and the audience. First, we will deal with what characteristics of persuaders make people more likely to be persuaded. Next, we will think about characteristics of the message that lead people to change.

1. Briefly explain the five choices speakers can make. How do these elements determine a speech’s success or failure?
Though primarily a model for sermons, with minor alterations, Stanley’s technique can serve effectively as a template for persuasive speeches in general. Stanley’s method, designated the “ME, WE, GOD, YOU, WE” method, begins with the speaker establishing a rapport with the audience (Stanley, 120). In order for the speaker to convey his or her message with the greatest impact, he or she must first gain the trust of the audience. Stanley, as a pastor, achieves this by admitting an area of struggle in his own life, cultivating the assumption that the majority will relate, creating common ground and introducing the topic of the speech simultaneously. Next, the speaker explicitly relates his or her experience to the experience of the audience, which reinforces their trust of the individual. Having universalized the problem and created an attitude of anticipation with the audience, the speaker can now introduce the solution through the text. With the context already established, the speaker need not dive too deeply into the text, just relate enough to elaborate on in the next phase. In the “YOU” phase, it is the responsibility of the speaker to answer the questions of “so what?” and “what now?” The speaker, having introduced the solution, must now explain it to the audience, in a way that relates to their experience. This is done in order to ensure
Speeches have been an effective way for someone to share their thoughts and opinions about topics for years. Have they continued to be successful due to changes in the way that they are given, or is it because modern-day orators have continued to use some of the same speech techniques? To determine the answer, a comparison of an old political speech to a contemporary political speech would be required.

The speech I am analyzing was given by Jon Bowers, a UPS driving and delivery trainer, in Atlanta Georgia in July 2017. Bowers was giving a motivational speech on why we should aim for perfection and not fear failure. He was giving this speech to an audience of listeners at a TED convention. The audience appears to be composed of a wide variety of age groups from multiple different backgrounds. The audience likely already had interest in the subject matter as they chose to attend speech knowing what it was about. The audience is rather large and likely contains several hundred people. The target audience is unclear as the topic is so broad that it can apply to basically anyone.
