Introduction: Nearly every adult, and many children and teens are on daily medications in the United States. Unfortunately, not all labeled medications are as they seem. Because phony or imitation/fake pharmaceuticals are a serious problem in this country, Congress should pass legislation ensuring that medications we buy are safe. Body: There are ample reasons for the problem to be addressed as soon as possible. I. The spread of phony pharmaceuticals is a serious problem. A. Phony pharmaceuticals are one of the most profitable areas of criminal activity in the world. 1. (Back up point above with subpoints, examples listed underneath, as needed), 2. Same type of evidence as I.A.1. B. The spread of fake pharmaceuticals is producing serious health risks in the U.S. 1. (Back up with subpoints, examples) 2. Same type of evidence as I.B.1. 3. Same type of evidence as 1.B.2. II. Solving the problem of phony pharmaceuticals requires action by the federal government. A.

Call to Action: I urge you to consider signing a petition at Change.org sponsored by John Doe and Jane Roe supporting a U.S. Congressional bill to stop allowing pharmaceutical companies to sell to unlicensed vendors in the U.S. and other countries. The website is: www.change.org. Conclusion: In my speech, I reviewed the widespread criminal activity, and the inaction by the U.S. federal government, as key factors in persuading you about the dangers of fake pharmaceuticals. Now, I urge you to support the need for legislation to be passed at the federal level by Congress to protect all Americans in this regard.

View this excerpt from ‘The Most Dangerous Habit’ in the online Media Library for this chapter (Video 16.3). These are significant concerns. Whenever you advocate a new policy, you must be prepared to show that it is workable. No matter how serious a problem may be, listeners usually want some assurance that a speaker’s plan will actually solve the problem.10 One way to provide this assurance is to show that a plan similar to yours has been successfully implemented elsewhere. For example, Video 16.3 shows an excerpt from a student speech calling for tougher measures to reduce smoking in the speaker’s state. As you view the video, notice how the speaker points to the success of a similar plan in California as evidence that it will work in her state. If you oppose a shift in policy, one of your major arguments will be that the change is impractical—that it will create more problems than it can solve. For example, critics of a plan to send astronauts to Mars might say that it is highly risky and requires technology that does not currently exist. Others might argue that the cost of the mission would be better spent on any number of causes here on Earth. If listeners accept these arguments, they will probably decide that NASA should not continue working on sending astronauts to Mars. How much of your speech should you devote to need, to plan, and to practicality? The answer depends on your topic and your audience. For example, if your audience is not aware of the environmental problems caused by the plastic microbeads found in soaps and scrubs, you will have to give much of your time to need before covering plan and practicality. On the other hand, if your listeners already know about the problems caused by microbeads, you can quickly remind them of need and then devote most of your speech to plan and practicality. ORGANIZING SPEECHES ON QUESTIONS OF POLICY Effective organization is crucial when you speak on a question of policy. Although any of the basic patterns of organization explained in Chapter 9 can be used, four special patterns are especially valuable for policy speeches. They are problemsolution order, problem-cause-solution order, comparative advantages order, and Monroe’s motivated sequence. problem-solution order A method of organizing persuasive speeches in which the first main point deals with the existence of a problem and the second main point presents a solution to the problem. Problem-Solution Order If you advocate a change in policy, your main points often will fall naturally into problem-solution order. In the first main point you demonstrate the need for a new policy by showing the extent and seriousness of the problem. In the second main point you explain your plan for solving the problem and show its practicality. For example: Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that the U.S. Congress should pass legislation that will reduce lead levels in the nation’s water supply. Central Idea: Because lead in the water supply is a serious problem in the United States, Congress should pass legislation reducing lead levels in our water. Main Points: 304 CHAPTER 16 Speaking to Persuade I. Lead in our nation’s water supply is a serious problem. A. Lead affects the water in millions of homes and other buildings across the country. B. Ingesting excessive amounts of lead causes serious health problems. C. Currently not enough is being done to reduce lead in the water supply. II. Solving the problem requires action by the federal government. A. Congress should pass legislation funding the removal of lead pipes and mandating regular water testing. B. Experts believe such legislation will go a long way toward solving the problem. View an excerpt from ‘Getting the Lead Out’ in the online Media Library for this chapter (Video 16.4). You can use the problem-solution format just as easily to organize a speech opposing a change in policy. In such a speech your job is to defend the current system and to attack your opponents’ proposed policy. Thus in the first main point you might argue that there is not a need for change. In the second main point you might show that even if there were a serious problem, the suggested new policy would not solve it and would create serious problems of its own. For example: Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that the city council should not pass legislation merging the police and fire departments. Central Idea: Merging the police and fire departments is neither necessary nor practical. Main Points: I. Merging the police and fire departments is not necessary. A. Under the current system, the police department has developed a reputation for excellence that has made it a model for departments in other cities. B. The fire department is equally well respected for doing its job quickly and efficiently. II. Besides being unnecessary, merging the police and fire departments is highly impractical. A. Rather than saving the city money, merging the departments would increase costs. B. Merging the departments would also harm morale and reduce the high level of performance we expect from our police force and firefighters. Problem-Cause-Solution Order For a variation on problem-solution order, you might arrange your speech in problem-cause-solution order. This produces a speech with three main points—the first identifying a problem, the second analyzing the causes of the problem, and the third presenting a solution to the problem. For example: Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that action is required to deal with the problem of childhood obesity. Central Idea: Childhood obesity is a serious problem that can be controlled by changes in diet and exercise. problem-cause-solution order A method of organizing persuasive speeches in which the first main point identifies a problem, the second main point analyzes the causes of the problem, and the third main point presents a solution to the problem. Persuasive Speeches on Questions of Policy 305 Try using the motivated sequence when you seek immediate action from your listeners. Over the years it has worked for countless speakers—and it can work for you as well. Sample Speech with Commentary View ‘Getting the Lead Out’ in the online Media Library for this chapter (Video 16.6). The following persuasive speech deals with a question of policy and provides an example of problem-solution structure. As you read the speech, notice how the speaker deals with the issues of need, plan, and practicality. Notice also how he uses strong, well-chosen supporting materials to back up his point of view. In addition, the speech shows how visual aids can be used to clarify and strengthen ideas in a persuasive speech, as you can see by watching Video 16.6. COMMENTARY The speaker captures attention and arouses curiosity with three brief quotations. Now the speaker identifies the sources of his quotations and reveals the topic of his speech. He provides details that help listeners understand the origins and seriousness of the Flint water crisis. The speaker shows that the problem of lead in the water supply extends throughout the United States. He relates the subject to his audience by showing that it is a local problem as well. The speaker refers to his audience-analysis survey and establishes his credibility and goodwill. 310 CHAPTER 16 Speaking to Persuade Purchase answer to see full attachment Tags: Fashion Pact coalition agreement detrimental environmental impact fashion industry cheap clothing products fashion trends User generated content is uploaded by users for the purposes of learning and should be used following Studypool’s honor code & terms of service.
