Media Persuasive Speeches

The effects media has on people are unknown but are becoming more evident as media is expanding. In a world of instant media, people do not realize how much non-truths they are being fed daily. Whether it be a popup article on Facebook or the current news story on the evening news, it is hard to discern fact from fiction. Media is also influencing day-to-day life whether it be on what we buy, which way to take to work, where the bad neighborhood is. Media’s goal is not to always tell the truth sometimes its goal to make the population think the way media wants them to think. The main concern In Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine and Jeff Warrick‘s Programming the Nation, is are people aware of the effects that media has on them.

For both of my predictions I'm telling you who will be in the Super Bowl as this is not a prediction. I'm right a lot in case you don't know. We're lucky to have two championship games in which both should be exciting to watch. Pittsburgh has arguably the best running back and wide receiver in the league, along with a future hall of fame quarterback in Big Ben. An explosive offense with a young defense that has come into its own over the second half of the season. New England lacks an elite receiver to stretch the field after the injury of Rob Gronkowski, and the loss of Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins show that Belichick may have been too cocky as we see the lack of a consistent pass rush. With all of that being said, New England will win this

So for those of you who don’t know about the program, it’s a program that goes around schools presenting the phrase D.A.R.E. D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. According to D.A.R.E., it teaches effective peer resistance and refusal skills so that adolescents can say “no” to drugs and their friends who may want them to use drugs (D.A.R.E. America). So basically it provides children with the information and skills they need to live a drug and violence free lives. Most people would agree that D.A.R.E. is an effective program for all ages, but studies have shown that in the long run, the D.A.R.E. program does not help prevent or reduce the use of illicit drugs in elementary, middle, or high school students.

Donald Trump and the media have had a “love hate” relationship for several months now. While Trump’s relationship with the media is unhealthy, each side equally makes use off of one another for their own advantage. In the articles “Trump vs. Trump” from the Wall Street Journal and “Trump vs. Press: Crazy, Stupid Love” from The New York Times, each outline different perspectives regarding the parallels between Trump and the media. These two explanations are presented by the use of rhetorical devices such as hyperboles, metaphors and similes, and logos.

It is the chaotic month of November, and the fate of America lies in one candidate’s hands. With the election coming to its scandalous end, the country has been a tremendous user of television, internet, newspaper, and radio. Presidential nominee, Donald Trump has not hesitated in releasing numerous shocking statements, and the reporters have not resisted their urge of publishing his words. Nevertheless, it is evident that, “By decreasing the effort necessary for journalists to gather information, politicians can garner substantially more media attention for themselves” (Niven). But, as one inspects the features of all mass media closely, a pattern of specific contents and people constantly being under the radar can be noticed. The boundless attention from viewers, reporters and advertisers bring fame, and support to candidates, whether it being for negative or positive purposes. While covering every aspect of candidates, “The mass media’s representation of campaign discourse influences whether voters have the opportunity to scrutinize the candidates’ issue priorities and policy proposals” (Hayes). High ratings, biased opinions, exaggerated news, and politically incorrect expressions are usually the type of contents drawing the society to itself. Similarly, due to his erratic and unexpected behavior, Trump has gained vast news coverage, risen to fame through social media, and gotten both honored and dishonored simultaneously throughout his candidacy.

On June 16th, 2015 Donald Trump declared he was running for office. From that day, the mainstream media has never given the President a fair opportunity. Liberals and the left-leaning media groups find ways to bash and belittle his every action. Being mistreated, Trump’s many significant accomplishments, like the rise of the stock market, are picked apart to be diminished or not reported. Saying what is on his mind, Trump has gotten the support of many Republicans, who are also exhausted by the media and the corruption of their stories along with the corruption in the government.

Today’s media has a major impact on Americans. Journalists have tremendous influence over the media. It appears that they have begun to abuse their power in order to make people believe a certain way. Overall, professional journalism is mainly a democratic force (Foster). Journalists are very biased when they are writing, and they include their own opinions instead of using facts. Journalists use their power to advance liberal politics which is breaking the professional code (Foster). Journalists also tend to put the opinions of the owner of the magazine or website into their writings. Prior to 1900, journalists were given a large amount of freedom to control the news but they used their professional judgment to decipher the difference between the facts and the opinions (Foster). Today, journalists have much less freedom than two or three decades ago (Foster). There is a professional code that the journalists have to follow and it has been changed to conform to the political requirements of the media owners (Foster). The democrats even make you think that conservatives are bigots because national news agencies actually use inaccurate information that they just find on unreliable sources in

According to the scholarly article Fake News, Misleading News, Click-Bait and the Media’s Biases written by John Stossel, two different examples include Trump claiming crime has currently increased to reach a record high and he had the greatest Electoral College vote since Reagan. No numbers or data back this information up. In fact, statistics contradict Trump’s claim of crime reaching a record high. Reports show that crime today exists as only half of the crime rate twenty-five years ago. This information proves that Trump announces false and biased information. If the President of the United States calls out news networks for reporting what he considers fake news, but he reports fake news himself, this makes him a

There are three types of persuasive speeches. There are speeches of Value, Fact, and Policy.

True information in American politics is key. The news article This is how you stop fake news on The Washington Post written by Adam J. Berinsky, is though provoking and makes the reader realize how myths can easily be perceives as the truth. The author uses a few examples of both “fake news” such as false claims made by Donald Trump and other claims about past presidents. He explains how easy it is for political information to be amended to have a different meaning. Through this, they seek to leave either a positive impact for the writer or leave a negative image on the one(s) they are against.

The media, a powerful source of information but what are the affects? While the media is seen by many as a vital source of information offered through a variety of different outlets, the theoretical underlining affects of the media demonstrates how stories from within it can influence society. The imprtance of not only recongnizing but understanding the media’s affects remains a vital priority in all forms of information today in how it is received and interpretated by different audiences. The level of effect of the media however, has been disputed heavingly, as with different forms of media such as online have developed a different affect for the mass media consumer. When regarding the level of effect the media holds, the 2016 Presidential campaign presents a prominent case study that shows a limiting affect of the mass media that

Our collective over confidence, bordering on arrogance, was directly at fault for losing the election. The time for righteous indignation, preaching, and condescension is over. Aside from being a waste of time and energy, it looks fairly elitist, and there is no room for elitism in a truly inclusive society. I'm not suggesting we should tolerate intolerance in any way; rather, we should not jump to the conclusion that a person is intolerant based purely on who they voted for in this election. We are all human and equally capable of being flawed and shortsighted at times. Instead of telling Trump supporters what their vote meant to you, ask them what it meant to them, and not in a condescending way, as that

Media has become the largest medium through which people can share different experiences throughout the globe. Many people are dependent on news coverages so that they are kept up to date on issues that are

A political issue that has greatly affected politics as well as the system of electing a president is the media. The media is a very important topic when discussing politics for a variety of reasons. The media includes television, radio, internet and social media sites such as Instagram and twitter. All of these forms of media are very influential and they reach a wide variety of the population. The amount of people that can be informed or influenced by these different forms of media is enormous. Because the media is easily accessible and highly influential it can be both beneficial and detrimental. This is important for many public figures, but it is also very important in regards to politics. Information that is broadcasted through the many different forms of media can cause a lot of issues when dealing with politics as well as many other areas. This essay defends the thesis that there are a plethora of reasons the media is a political issue that has increased in the last fifty years the three primary reasons are the amount of people that can be influenced, the type of information that can be broadcasted and lastly the effects media can have on a political campaign or major political issue.

The persuasive speech I viewed was titled “Implications of Social Networking and Text messaging”, which I immediately was drawn to which looking for a video on YouTube. It caught my attention because I use social networking and texting every day as a form of communication and wanted to know what was so detrimental to doing so. During the entirety of the speech, the speaker stayed true to the title. He talked about the negative outcomes of using too much social networking and texting but made sure to be credible with facts, and fun statistics throughout.
