My presentation topic was about effectiveness of speeches and how some people give such great speeches that captivates the audience. After presenting what topic I have chosen to the class, I still feel a little lost and confused as to where I am going with my paper but maybe it will come to me. One other classmate suggested that I watch the movie called "The King's Speech" which might help guide me in the right direction. I don't have a solid argument that I will be focusing on right now, I could possibly argue whether you a born with traits to give good speeches, or maybe argue that anybody can learn to give good speeches if they follow a certain guideline.
*My presentation on the effectiveness of speeches is now irrelevant. My current topic is rhetoric used in politics.
I believe that you have a good idea. There are probably two views on this subject: one, that charisma can be nurture/nature; and two, the way in which a speech is written and delivered. Try watching the move "The King's Speech," it may give you some good ideas. Hope this helps, good luck.
ReplyDeleteI think I remember you commenting on Hitler and how his actions were cruel but his overall charisma and character were 'smart'. I think that would be really interesting somewhere in your paper. I think all of us are feeling like we don't know what were doing, so don't feel alone!
ReplyDeleteI think that your project could also go into the role of leadership. Did people only listen to Hitler and agree with his ideas because he was a "leader"? Idk? It's just an idea lol
