The speech has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. I was able to easily identify them when reading the paper. The writer used a hook to draw the audience in. In this case she used the story of The Boy in the Plastic Bubble to capture the audience’s attention. The speaker’s transition sentences are smooth and clearly convey the change of content in the speech. “After looking at the problems created by antibacterial products, we’ll explore some solutions.” This example dictates the change from the introduction to the body paragraphs and give the audience an overview of the entire speech.
The speaker’s thesis statement is easily identifiable within the speech. I’m here to tell you that, try as we might, we cannot build a bubble between …show more content…
She uses plenty of scientific evidence to support his claims and offers solutions to the problem.
The speaker makes several claims about the use of antibacterial products. According to him, antibacterial products don’t actually prevent the spread of disease, cause more susceptibility to microbes, can lead to antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the waste generated by these products can be harmful to the environment. These claims are well within the reach of the thesis since it claims that these products “create more problems than they solve.”
The speaker uses the Problem-cause-solution order organization pattern. The strength of this pattern is that the problem is highlighted to the audience. If the problem had not been pointed out, the audience could have overlooked it and ignored the speech. The speaker not only highlights the problem, but also the causes of the products and the solutions that need to be made. A weakness of this type of organization pattern is that the problem highlighted might not concern the majority of the audience. This is not the case in this speech, …show more content…
The end of the speech is clear to the audience. The speaker makes a call for action after stating the effects of antibacterial products. She conveys the necessity to stop using these products as a way to protect ourselves from germs and urges the audience to make informed choices about the products they use.
As a microbiology major, I was aware of most of the problems caused by antibacterial products. I was eager to listen to the speech since it was a topic I knew about and thus, would be able to know if she used wrong claims as facts. I went into the speech thinking she would make an exaggerated or heavily biased claim about antibacterial products, but I was pleasantly surprised when the speaker talked about the topic with an objective mind.
Overall, I wasn’t very moved by the speech. As stated, I was pleased by her objectivity on the topic, but most of the information wasn’t shocking or revealing. I believe members of the audience without previous knowledge would find the speech moving. I admit, I was a bit shocked when I learned about this fact during my biology class. Antibacterial products are marketed as “miracle” cures for disease prevention and are seen everywhere, from doctor offices to animal feeding pens. I imagine this information would have caused concerns since it’s related to the health of individuals. I enjoyed the speech and the serious tone it carried but, my favorite part of it was the pun in the
