Hey guys, so I am going to be taking a public speaking course for college credits this summer. I am looking for some ideas of what to write about and obviously give speeches on and I am trying to assess what my strengths could be regarding subjects or topic material.
Basically, I am asking for criticism and potential ideas for public speeches that I will have to make to pass my class.
In my discussions here, what would you say my strong or most convincing topics in discussion are versus topics I could improve better?
I need these 15 credits to enlist into the national guard to be eligible for my enlistment bonus and they are also going towards my Computer science degree.
Should I talk about Carl Jung and something psychology related?
Should I talk about something religious or spiritual related?
Because it is your roughest and least developed, yet in my opinion you have good instinct for it, in my opinion your most profitable avenue would be politics, straight.
I did think about how I could write up an essay or speech about why it is necessary for everyone to look into the lecture by Yuri Bezmenov on Subversion and why I view it as a necessity as well as a benefit to society as well as preventing unwanted or harmful indoctrination.
I would advice doing your best to forge an original speech. After all, it is just a bunch of dumb college students you will be speaking to with nothing but some credits on the line. Could be a good opportunity to get some practice in.
If you find things in that lecture important, find ways to incorporate them into an original speech that makes no reference, therefore being forced to isolate the elements and explain them in your own terms, showing even if you actually understand them or what is important about them.
As the astros are spheres, having thus an infinity of approaches while being finite objects, so too does human understanding encompass finite elements the approaches to which are infinite. Good unerstanding, then, is not demonstrated by exhaustability, but by showing that two or three angular points can be chosen that give an accurate reference to the element, as well as an accurate idea of its composition. In rhetoric, these points are called importance, and the angles approaching them are called emphasis. Together, they make a stake. By staking, the speaker shows he is serious, and to be heeded, as nothing can be seriously meant or of much importance on which nothing is staked.
Talk first about something you’ve been passionately interested in for a long time, something you know a lot about. Something you could naturally talk someone’s ear off about.
But instead of just letting yourself talk someone’s ear off, organise the information in a compelling way. Presentation is everything.
It’s not so much the content but the style in which you deliver the speech that will make or break a speech. Take note of Adam Sandler’s speech. Delivery is what counts. Skip the long drawn out boring type nonsense and get the people’s attention by starting off with a joke and keep them interested and laughing and your speech will be a hit and remembered for a long time.
