In this exercise a person recites the alphabet attempting to communicate each of the following emotions : anger, nervousness, fear, pride, happiness, sadness, iealousy, satisfaction, love, and sympathy. The person may begin the alphabet at any point and may omit and repeat sounds, but may use only the names of the letters of the alphabet to communicate these feelings. The speaker should first number the emotions in random order so that he or she will have a set order to follow that is not known to the audience, whose task it will be to guess the emotions expressed. As a variation, have the speaker go through the entire list at emotions twice : once tacing the audience and employing any nonverbal signals desired, and once with his or her back to the audience without employing any additional signals. Are there clitierences in the number of correct guesses depending on which method is used ? Why ? Aier the exercise is completed, consider some or all at the following questions : 1. What vocal cues are used to communicate the various emotions ? 2. Are some cues useful for communicating some emotions and not useful (or even detrimental) for communicating others ? Explain. 3. What bodily cues are useful in communicating these various emotions ? 4. Are some bodily cues useful for communicating some emotions and not useful for others ? Explain. 5. Are there significant gender differences for effectively communicating these emotions ? That is, should men and women use different cues in communicating these emotions ?

First, carefully read the speech by Cindy Weiscnbeck, "False Memory Syndrome" presented here. For your first reading, ignore the critical thinking questions or. the right. After you've read the entire speech then reread it, this time reodingond responding to the critical thinking questions. These questions should help you analyze the speech and help you see the principles of public speaking in clear application. Chapter 20 : 20.1 Short Speech Technique Prepare and deliver a twominpte speech in which you : a. explain an interesting attitude, belief, or value that you've come across. . b. explain how a speech strengthened or changed one of your attitudes or beliefs. c. explain an advertisement in terms at the principles of persuasion. d. explain cultural differences in popularly held beliefs regarding such concepts as God, life, death, family, happiness, education, low, or men and women. 20.2 Developing Persuasive Strategies The objective of this exercise is to stimulate the discussion of persuasive strategies on a variety of contemptrary cultural situations. It may be completed individually, in small groups, or with the entire class. What persuasive strategies would you use to convince your class of the validity at either side in any at these points at View ? For example, what persuasive strategies would you use to persuade your class mem-bers that interracial adoption should be encouraged or discouraged ? Do realize that these points of view are simplified for purposes of this exercise and shouldn't be taken to suggest that the view points given here qre complete descriptions of these complex issues. Point of View : Interracial Adoption. Those in favor of interracial adoption argue that the welfare of the child-who might not get adopted at all if not by someone of another race-must be considered first ; Adoption (regardless of race) is good for the child and therefore is a positive social process. Those opposed to interracial adoption argue that children need to be raised by those of the same race if the child is to. Develop self-esteem and become a functioning member of his or her own race. Interracial adoption is therefore a negative social process. Point of View : Women and the Church. Manywomen (and men)-both Catholic and non-Catholic-believe that women should be allowed to become priests and advance in the hierarchy of the Catholic church just as a man can. The sexes are equal and therefore should Have equal opportunities, and that includesl‘in the church. The Catholic Church reiects this idea and‘refuses to ordain women as priests ; their argument is basically that Jesus (to whom the Catholic church traces itself back to) established a church with only men as its priests and that’s the way it must remain. Point of View : Gays and Lesbians and the Military. Regardless of the status of the current law, a large group within the United States military are opposed to gay men and lesbians in the military. The gay and lesbian communities argue that gay men and lesbians should be accorded exactly the same rights and privileges as hetero sexuals-no more, no less. Those opposed argue that gay men and lesbians will undermine the imagi the military and will make heterosexuals uncomfortable, leading to a lack at trust within military units. Point of View : Interracial Marriage. Those in favor oi interracial marriageargue that everyone has the right to make his or her own decision and it you tall in love with someone of a diiierent race, the decision is a personal one, not a social one. Those apposed to interRacial marriage argue that it dilutes the purity of the races (with the minority races suiiering the most) and even threatens the continuance oi the race. Given our current society, it also makes life diiiicult lor the children. Point of View : Affirmative Action. Those in faVor of afirmative action argue that because of the injustices in the way certain groups (racial, national, gender) were treated, they should now be given preferential treatment to correct the imbalance caused by the social injustices. ThaSe apposed to affirmative action argue that merit must be the sole criterion for promotion, jobs, entrance to graduate schools, etc. and that affirmative action is just reverse racism ; one form of injustice cannot correct another form Of injustice. 20.3 Analyzing a Persuasive Speech This exercise is designed to help you further understand the principles of public Speaking in general and of persuasive speaking in particular and to see how they are used in an actual speech. Read the Speech without looking at the critical thinking questions. Then reread the speech, this time responding to the questions. This speech was given by William E. Franklin, President of Franklin international, LTD to the Graduate School of Business of Columbia University at the Japan Business Association & International Business Society, New York City, April 8, 1998.
