...Alex Martens 09 May 2013 Dr. Graham CT 2000 Persuasive Speech Self-Evaluation For my persuasive speech, I would give myself and along with you, a “B” using the rubric you provided the class. My strongest part of my speech I believe came from the organization arrangement and speech structure. I believe the structure of my speech met the criteria needed for a superior grade on that section. The weakest part of my speech was the delivery and extemporaneous style; not so much the voice but the eye contact did not meet the criteria. My claims and source citation meet the criteria. My PowerPoint was strong and unique; I presented a picture of a possible earth like planet. I used topic as my organizational pattern for my speech. I used this organizational pattern because it is simple and it was able to keep all my research organized in a cohesive manner. My transitions and signposts met the criteria even though I do not think they were that useful in my speech. Aristotle proof “logos” was present in my speech because I gave a logical argument on my topic extraterrestrial life. My sources were very relevant in my speech; all my information I gave was research I found. I did not have much input on my own personal information or own evidence I had regarding my speech. I am not the best at giving speeches as you could tell from previous speeches, but I think my voice was better and clear than usual considering how deep it is. I obviously...

...presentations, it is always important to know who your audience is. This online class shows a person many ways on how to encounter your audience in order to analyze them before giving a presentation. In order to find out more about your audience, presentations have been conducted online and various students have showed their ability as well as their character through the Engagement Activities. The audience as person, individually, has their own unique sense and opinions about a particular topic when it comes to a point where they are to watch and listen to a specific topic that they may or may not know about. The speech that we all have to perform next week will have to be an informative speech. Initially, I have short-listed many topics when it came to performing this speech as it had to be both factual, important, and also interesting. I finally decided that I want to present my speech about “Piracy and Counterfeit Goods in Iran”. Most of us have already been affected and know already about piracy is our own country, but I want to focus in on a specific country where it has not been outlawed and the reasons to why it has not been achieved as of yet. Everyone has their own views on what could be interesting to them regarding this topic. It could be the reason that it is still allowed and the police and other forces of power are willing to let that happen in order to achieve something out it or the interest could actually cloud in the audience on to why the speaker decided to choose Iran...

The speaker was Joshua Medcalf, former Division I soccer player at Vanderbilt and Duke Universities; CEO and founder of “Train 2B Clutch,” a mental training program; and a mental conditioning coach for UNC soccer and UCLA basketball players.

The audience on the day of the speech was comprised mostly of University of the Pacific student-athletes, but there were also some coaches and younger athletes from the Stockton community....

...COGNITIVE ORGANIZATION AND IDENTITY MAINTENANCE IN MULTICULTURAL TEAMS A Discourse Analysis of Decision-Making Meetings Jolanta Aritz Robyn C. Walker University of Southern California Measuring culture is a central issue in international management research and has been traditionally accomplished using indices of cultural values. Although a number of researchers have attempted to identify measures to account for the core elements of culture, there is no consensus on those measures. This article uses an alternative method—discourse analysis—to observe what actually occurs in terms of communication practices in intercultural decision-making meetings, specifically those involving U.S.-born native English speakers and participants from East Asian countries. Previous discourse studies in this area suggest that differences in communication practices may be attributed to power differentials or language competence. Our findings suggest that the conversation style differences we observed might be attributed to intergroup identity issues instead. Keywords: intercultural communication; intercultural communication; group communication; discourse analysis; intercultural management; group decision making; communication accommodation theory In an increasingly global economy, multicultural work teams are becoming more commonplace, and fostering teamwork in multicultural teams is a growing challenge.

...destructive conflict and outcomes for CHWs. The research demonstrates the usefulness of the CAT framework to analyses of conflict in CHWs and provides fresh insights on the triggers and management strategies associated with conflict in CHWs. A topical organizational scheme will be used in this section to increase the knowledge of this theory for the reader. As you may perhaps guessed, many scholarly articles focus in the concepts of convergence and divergence when it comes to testing or supporting CAT but instead of stating one research scholarly article at the time with its hypotheses, methods and findings, a synthesis of several articles with overlaps in topics will be given instead. Let’s start with relationships, One important aspect of speech accommodation theory to consider is how researchers evaluate speech. By examining factors that are used to determine speech behaviors, much can be learned about the study of accommodation. There are several characteristics of speech upon which researchers have focused their attention and that speech accommodation theory takes into consideration. The first of these is how language, dialect, and accent are evaluated. People perceive those who use standard dialect and accent patterns as having "more competence, status, prestige, confidence, and inteUigence than speakers using nonstandard forms" (Street & Hopper, 1982, p. 2). Deha (1975) reports that dialect...

...Introduction “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” (Roosevelt, p.1). This was the opening statement of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to the nation the day after Japan invaded American territory. Following the Pearl Harbor attacks, Roosevelt gave a powerful speech that was a call to arms and in his speech he expressed outrage towards Japan and confidence in the job of our armed forces. The speech was a request to declare war against Japan and to bring the United States into World War II. His use of rhetorical techniques effectively aided in grasping the attention of his audience and reminded the...

...Chapter 1: Introducing Public Speaking Four Characteristics of Public Speaking: 1. Public speaking features communication between a speaker and an audience 2. Public speaking is audience centered 3. Public speaking emphasizes the spoken word 4. Public speaking is usually a prepared presentation What is the historical tradition of public speaking? As far back as the fifth century B.C.E., all adult male citizens in the Greek city-state of Athens had a right to speak out in the assembly and vote on proposals relating to civic matters. The ancient Greeks were the first people to think formally about rhetoric as well as a subject. Many of Aristotle’s ideas influence the study of public speaking even today. What are the main components of the transactional model of communication? How is this model different than the linear model? The linear model process involves several key elements. Specifically a person with an idea to express is the source, and the idea, that he or she conveys to the audience constitute the message. Sources communicate their messages to one or more receivers, who try to make sense of the messages by decoding. In the transactional model, the participants in a public speaking exchange seek to create a shared meaning – a common understanding with little confusion and few misinterpretations. How does critical thinking influence public speaking? When you engage in critical thinking, you carefully evaluate the evidence and...

...The speech that I listened to was a speech by Melvin Russell and it is called, “I Love Being a Police Officer, but We Need Reform.” He was a very effective speaker his speech was very engaging and had some humor added to him. I would rate this speech as a nine out of ten points. The reason I would rate it this way is because he was very organized with his thoughts, he even had a piece of paper that he use to keep the speech going. He used real life examples to support what he was saying. The way he would say things would also make you think about think that you have been through. Melvin Russell said, “I need to say this: it's not just law enforcement, though. Because every one of us makes up a community. Everybody makes up a community. And as communities -- can I say this? -- we have put too much responsibility on law enforcement.” He made a very good point when he said this,...
