Motivational Speech Help

[ALVAREZ6]

For my public speaking class, I need to give a motivational speech. It's supposed to inspire the other students to do something, and the professor has stated that it should be something that relates to you; something you have credibility with.


For this speech, you will represent a not-for-profit organization that aims to take action to alleviate and/or cure a significant social problem. Your goal is to use the Monroe’s Motivated Sequence (below) to motivate your college audience to take actions to further the aims of the organization. Your audience does not have any money of their own to contribute to your cause. Therefore, you need to motivate them to contribute to your organization’s cause in other ways.

So for example, if you or someone in your family has been in a position where they desperately need blood, an appropriate topic would be blood donation.

I'm having a hard time to come up with a topic, and I can't think of anything that would relate to my personal life very well. Also, most of the class has already chosen a topic, I've been lazy and haven't been able to come up with great ideas.

So I'd greatly appreciate it if any of you guys can think of possible topics.

Also keep in mind that the very obvious topics are probably taken by now...

I wish there was Google & the internet when I was in college. Good Lord ... lol. I just skimmed though a couple of things and it was the first link that popped up, but you might be able to find something useful here.

Unless you went to college in the 1960's, there was an internet. Or do you think Al Gore actually invented it? I started using it in 1971.

Are you seriously suggesting that the availability and ease of access to the internet and the information you were able to get out of it in 1971 is anywhere near what you can do on it today?

We didn't even have a computer in our house until the mid to late 80's ... when I was learning how to write Pascal in high school. The only thing about the internet I knew in college was the 20 minutes it took to log into aol chat on a 2400 baud modem. I was still typing my papers on a typewriter. But hey, at least it was electric, as opposed to the stone and chisel my teenagers have suggested. :spin

I call BS!

Hey even the hardware needed for text based bulletin boards was not available in '71, so let's not even talk about the content. Seriously what was the modem speed in 1971? 800, 900 bauds?

e-mails. I'll give you that and only if you were working in some very special industries.

How about procrastination?

[Cyrano]

No, I never said that the internet in the early 70's was anywhere near as useful as it is now. I simply stated that it existed. It was rudimentary, but did allow chat among users online, as well as some file transfer capability.
The baud rate, as I recall, was 300.
And yes, the hardware was very basic. The CPU was located at William and Mary University, and was linked to terminals in other colleges as well as several high schools. There were no CRT's, just a teletype machine. There were even some rudimentary online games, my favorite was "lunar lander", where you controlled horizontal and vertical thrust by entering numeric values for each.

You should give a speech about the job market awaiting your fellow classmates upon graduation.

Good work.

Read a bit of this it'll give you some inspiration to "do something."

So by the time you downloaded Jaws I Jaws II was already on tv?

[Cyrano]

No, Mouse. In 1971 we couldn't download a movie produced in 1975. Streaming video was still decades away.
It was only two years after the moon landing...many years before internet videos would have you believing the landing never happened.

[Gutter92]

Wait u guys had internet in the 70s and 80s? Where did I get the idea that it only started in the '90s lol

Anyways, talk about domestic violence, and its effects on women or something. While it may seem funny to hit a woman with a falcon punch, it is wrong. Something along those lines.

Do you own homework Alvarez. I already know you're going to fuck it up since you have so little confidence in yourself you had to ask spurstalk for help.

Suck my balls this thread became useless because I thought of something rather quickly after making it.

If you have to relate it to your life (unless the structure is predetermined), I'd start with an anecdote about yourself, preferably something that makes an audience laugh and you can pivot to make a more poignant point.
