Question: Update the class on your speech progress. What are you researching? What are your main points? How do you plan on beginning and ending your speech? How are you going to persuade your audience towards your point of view (hint: use the assigned reading to help you answer this part of the question).
My progress in my speech is going well. My topic is about hazing and why it should be banned entirely from our military system, and other private organizations. I have started researching the laws that have been established throughout the years to ban it, and personal experiences from people that I know have been exposed to hazing. In my speech I hope to cover the conflicts that hazing brings to people, what has been done to try to eliminate hazing, and what individuals can do today about the situation. I hope to persuade my audience towards my opinion by engaging them in evidence that shows the terrible outcomes of hazing. In addition, I would like to bring personal narratives from people that I interview about the outcomes. For example, my father, a member of a fraternity, pledged during a time when there were no hazing laws – it was a prime time for hazing and my father experienced every bit of it. I plan on using his personal experience to draw in my audience.

This topic sounds interesting. I dont know much about the hazing in the military but I am sure we will know it all after your speech. Have you looked into Greek system hazing? There have been many incidences in the last 5 years in california which have lead to death. Also, look into hazing contracts with the school because Presidents have to sign them before the school year starts. Using your dads experience will be powerful because there were no hazing laws when he was an undergraduate greek member. what will you use for visual aids? Maybe some clips from movies could help connect the audience to your topic. good luck!
Hey,
I think your speech topic is really interesting and I think a lot of people will enjoying learning more about it. It would be a good idea to give personal stories so that the audience can relate and imagine what a hazing process can be like and exactly how harmful and terrifying it might be. I'm excited to hear the hazing laws because i don't really know what laws there are. I like your idea of using your father’s experience as an example because I’m sure the audience can really relate because its really personal. Good Luck on your presentation!
