Self Monitoring Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
Self monitoring is the best solution to speech issues we face today for many reasons. Some people think that social media is the cause for the speech issues. They say that there is no face to face where you can learn to talk to people. Most people today think differently because it can help you. Over using it can be harmful because you can get hooked. When you self monitor you can use it to your advantage. Another reason for speech issues today is uncivil conduct. Today we don't think before we speak and that gets us in trouble. We don't realize what is protected by the first amendment. This is another situation where we could use self monitoring when using speech. We can look at ourselves and change the way we are talking. Self- monitoring helps us regulate our behavior to fit the audience we have. When we monitor our audience we understand what you should say or what you shouldn't. It helps us in any social situation. One thing you need to keep in mind is to think before you speak and see what we should we say. Our audience may be offended. …show more content…

In conclusion, self- monitoring is clearly the best solution when used correctly. It allows us to have freedom of speech but also controls us from being disrespectful. The 1st amendment protects our speech but it has boundaries too. We need to learn these boundaries and respect them. Speech today can be controlled with self- monitoring. People today just need to know how to use it because we all need to be

    Freedom of speech has always been a topic of conversation on whether or not we really have it, or it’s portrayed like we do so the American people can be content. There is plenty of proof on the fact that our freedom of speech is actually being taken away from us. Even now as our generation is more open minded, it doesn’t mean that we allow for anyone to have what they think is right, heard. Then whenever we question that our right is being taken away, we are meant with critiques that we are just babies and Liberal snowflakes that don’t really know what it is to not have freedom of speech. There are cases like with what happened with the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, which was taking a stand by kneeling during the national anthem as a way to protest against…

    As Newman observed, Gus’s conversations with Siri facilitated his ability to have a conversation “[that] was back and forth, and it followed a logical trajectory” (631). By actually having conversations, Gus was able to improve his verbal skills. Learning how to speak is a process, and the foundation to learning is one’s environment. Being around other people is truly the only way to fully engage someone in a conversation. Although Gus’s verbal skills improved, his conversational skills did not necessarily improve as well.…

    I agree with Caleb Yong article on how free speech is important because he explained how lead each person to form the own ideas and opinion and individualize themselves, and although it can lead to hate speeches there is also speeches that benefit for the better. It’s important for people to speak your opinion and ideas without having to have restriction on how important the matter is to you. Every speech has its negative and positive points but it usually the benefits out weigh the negative factor of the speech.

    The right to having free speech is one of the basic human rights that pretty much everybody knows firsthand. Some people abuse this right, and some use it just right! Freedom of expression is super important because it enables the public to participate in the decision making spectrum of society with free range of information and ideas. Without this, people would be unable to make informed decisions, and things would be complete and utter chaos. The framers of the United States Constitution probably thought that through, which is why we even have the first amendment freedom of speech.…

The First Amendment affirmed that "Congress shall make no law...abridging freedom of speech" but based on www.legal-dictionary.the free dictionary.com it states' All speech is not equal under the First Amendment. The high court has identified five areas of expression that the government may legitimately restrict under certain circumstances. These areas are speech that incites illegal activity and subversive speech, fighting words, obscenity and pornography, commercial speech, and symbolic expression'. On this information and amongst other I believe that freedom of speech is both restricted to a fault and abused.…
