YOU WRITE THE SPEECH AND I WILL MAKE THE VIDEO Introduction to Public Speaking – Week 7 Assignment Persuasive Speech Your week 7 assignment is to build upon the momentum of last week’s informative speech. This week, you will provide a speech that has a specific persuasive appeal embedded within it. Your goal is to use principles of effective persuasive delivery to drive your audience towards action. At the conclusion of your speech, your audience should know what you’re asking them to do (e,g., adopt a new idea, cease engaging in a particular activity, continue engaging in a particular activity, avoid engaging in a certain activity, etc.). You must select a controversial topic for this speech. Remember to use principles of deliberating in good faith! Though you may speak on any controversial you wish, you must take a clear “side” and your argument should reflect a commitment to that side. Though you are not limited to the topics found here, you might find the ProCon website to be helpful starting place. In your speech, you must clearly demonstrate an understanding of the models, tactics, and strategies of persuasion. It is critical that you carefully review all course content (lectures, readings, etc.) before completing this task.
We are in an interesting age when even the Pope tweets. Our politicians, organizations, entertainers, co-workers, friends, and family will typically have some kind of social media “presence.” What do you believe are the social, political, and/or cultural implications of social media? Do you think it influences or even reflects public opinion? How persuasive are messages on social media (and under what conditions)? How has social media changed public relations? Write a post that critically reflects on social media, public opinion, and persuasion considering these questions. Be sure to offer at least one real-world example to demonstrate your point. Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to peer posts and your instructor’s post as well.

SCENARIO: You are the Chemical Stockroom Manager at A-1 Pharmaceuticals. Chemicals at A-1 are purchased and stored centrally, in the stockroom, for all departments, and then each department is individually billed for whatever it uses per quarter. It is your job to tell employees that at the first of next month the hours for the stockroom will change. This decision was made at last month’s department manager’s meeting to address longstanding complaints from stockroom users about lengthy wait times and inaccuracies in orders filled. The improved stockroom schedule should provide positive benefits for everyone involved. The weekday stockroom hours will change from 1:00-3:00 p.m. to 9:00-11:00 a.m. Most of the chemical shipments during the week arrive in the afternoon, and shifting the stockroom hours will allow staff to inventory and shelve new stock without interruption, which should improve accuracy and efficiency. However, the stockroom is still willing to fill weekday requests that arrive in the afternoon, but a 15 percent convenience fee will be added to the overall cost of the order. The stockroom will also be adding weekend hours for the first time to increase quarterly production, so beginning at the first of next month, Saturday orders will be filled between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. The stockroom will be closed Saturday afternoons and Sundays. You should send “courtesy copies” (CC:) to your fellow department managers and the President of A-1 Pharmaceuticals, Jesse Pinkman. Because the addition of weekend hours also affects the current company policy for overtime pay, you should copy in the legal counsel for A-1, Saul Goodman, as well. NOTE: Be sure to proofread your work carefully for grammar, mechanics, usage, and typos.
