The Future Of Money Speech Analysis

724 Words3 Pages

The speech that I chose to critically analyze-and the one that I felt most mirrored my interests-was a TED talks by Neha Narula, titled The Future of Money, in which she explained and established the significance of cryptocurrency technology. The thing that became most apparent to me while viewing the speech was her introduction. Since I am still a public speaking novice, and I am still discovering the things that work-and don't work-with my speaking, I've been introducing my speech with more of a direct approach. This speech showed me that extensively relating the topic to the audience creates a greater connection. While the speech is approximately 16 minutes in length, Narula spent a total of 6 minutes of the talk, about 40% of the speech, describing multiple real-life examples of how currency works today before even mentioning the word "cryptocurrency". Through her examples, she successfully conveyed to her audience that money today has no intrinsic value; instead, currency is assigned value purely based on what people say it is worth. By relating the topic to the audience, using examples like paying her taxes online and being paid through direct deposit, she was able to create a topic that the listeners can relate to, rather than having them wonder how cryptocurrency is even relevant in their lives. According to The Art of Public Speaking, "if you can relate the topic to your listeners, they are much more likely to be interested in it" (Lucas).

    This allows the audience to know that she can relate to the situation. Most everyone texts and it can be easy to allow such language to bleed over into any type of formal writing. She, however, believes that people have enough common sense and control and that most people don't allow themselves to use such language in their final drafts of their formal writings. Despite establishing her credibility and strong use of logos, she does, however, lack in pathos. She fails at truly connecting with the reader on a more personal and emotional level.

    If I were asked to get the attention of my peers for a speech, I would first consider my audience because I have different groups of people I consider peers. I would also take into consideration the topic of the speech and utilize an appropriate attention grabber. For example, if I am giving a motivational speech, I might use the word courage. I could either incorporate that word into a powerful quote or tell a story about how courage “changed my life” or why it is a “necessary virtue” on the path to success. I think the most important part, in addition to the attention grabber, is to keep the audience’s attention throughout the speech.

  • Gun Violence Informative Speech

    517 Words  | 3 Pages

    The topic I chose for my informative speech was gun violence in the United States. I chose this topic so that others may be aware of all the violence related to a firearm and to inform them of the dangers associated with a gun in the United States. Everyday we turn on the news and hear about a new tragedy involving some sort of firearm. Therefore choosing gun violence as the topic for my speech seemed appropriate. I believe my topic opened the eyes of my audience because of the effect it had on them, especially being that I myself was a victim to gun violence and went through the whole ordeal of being hospitalized and all other effects that follows after being shot.
