Dr. Michael Hawes: Informative Speech on Economics, Politics, Pipelines, and Election
Michael Innamorato
Rhetorical analysis paper.
DR. Michael Hawes gave an informative speech on Economics, politics, pipelines and the election: as well as Canada-US relations in an increasingly complex world. He used a PowerPoint to portray his ideas and talked about topics such as roots of Canadian foreign policy, the rising impact of the U.S, free trade and North American integration, and diversification. His speech wasn’t that interesting to younger adult’s such as me because he talked a lot about politics but he was very funny keeping me entertained which is always a plus. He established a clear central thesis, although he said “this is my central thesis” and established his main points. He transitioned into each point individually and took time to explain each concept it took a long time but he didn’t shy away from all the details. Dr. Michael Hawes speech was credible because he is a professor of political science, a tireless advocate of international education, and a proud alumnus of the fullbright program. He assumed the leadership of Fulbright Canada in September of 2001 and has had the privilege of directing the program through some very exciting times. He is Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation for Educational Exchange between Canada and the United States of America, Executive Director of the Canada - U.S. Fulbright Program, and Executive Director of the Killam Fellowships Program. Under his direction Fulbright Canada has witnessed dramatic growth in its programs and in the number of students and scholars that the program supports. DR. Michael Hawes appealed to the audience because he took his time to explain he concept he was talking about with full detail. He used statistics sparingly but with great effect because they were such interesting statistics. He was funny and made the audience laugh several times during his speech. He used a PowerPoint as a visual aid to we could clearly see the trends he was talking about and to see things visually

    Lester B. Pearson helped create Canada’s reputation as peacekeepers. “Canada has contributed soldiers, and sometimes civilians to every major United Nation’s peacekeeping operation.”2 Canada is very dedicated when it comes to helping other countries. Everyday citizens are willing to help out with a country in need. Canadians are not known for being peacekeepers because their government has told them to go support a country, they do it because they want too. They respect and help others who need it by volunteering their time and providing support. Sometimes without even leaving the country. Programs have been created not just by the government, but everyday citizens, where people can donate food, clothing, or money to other countries who need it most. “Lester B. Pearson was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his part in the UN 's dramatic sending of a peacekeeping force to the Middle…

    Steve Bedwell does an excellent job on trying to get the audience’s attention with interesting stories that keep them focused on what he is trying to say. While presenting he tends to keep eye contact with the audience. He also does not use any notecards, which this indicates that he knows his topic enough and is able to talk smoothly through his presentation. Also, to keep the audience interested, he adds humor in his presentation to help explain his connections. Bedwell does such a great job with his speech, that I do not see where he needs any improvement.…

    After he played, he went straight ahead and gave an anecdote about how music help others. His playing and his story gave people an idea what he was going to talk about. 6. His conclusion was somewhat effective because not all people would relate to his problems. However, it was effective for me because I was stuck on what major I should take and his speech helped me a lot.…

    Debra Wuichet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from University of Tennessee. She is the Director of Social Services at North Mississippi State Hospital and has been working there for sixteen years. Her topic of the presentation was mental illnesses and schizophrenia. I really enjoyed her speech because I had little previous knowledge of mental illness. Even though I have taken a few classes that discussed the illnesses, I can understand better with stories or a way to imagine a situation and Debra provided that. Information that I thought I knew, was stuff I had assumed from watching television shows and movies. Most of that information is inaccurate.…

    Sara thought she was never going to be able to work to fund her education and lost all hope. With the implementation of DACA her dream of receiving an education at UCLA became a reality. Another speaker that stood out was a second year by the name of Erika. Erika’s mother suffers from the mental illness Schizophrenia. Her mother was deported and arrested for being undocumented and Erika’s upbringing was tough. Erika closed her presentation with a quote that stayed with me, it goes as follows “you do with what you can or have”. No matter how tough the circumstances are in life you have to deal with what you have and continue living. My friend Josh had the privilege to speak in front of the audience and it was nice hearing what he had to say. He made good points about the citizenship test. He said that the citizenship is bullshit and that it is crazy how the government makes people from different countries learn about the history of U.S. United States citizens probably would not pass the test if they were tested. I believe that injustice is prevalent for undocumented people and there needs to be a…

    I personal liked Wadhwa speech the most I felt the fact and arguments he used were the most influwential because he not only just talks about education and jobs he talks about what you get out of college such as learning how to deal with failure how to addapt and over come and crucial communication skills. But he also uses a personal tactic to back up his arguments by talking about his his cultural and how people use discriminate his poeple and snake charms but not his people are ceos. Then finally he talks about globalization and how we need to start massive training programs because if we don't have a country of college degree people…

    One of my favorite activities that we did in class was the orange activity. It was really interesting because everyone brings an orange and what we did was mixed it all up. Then we had to write down details of our orange and then find it. It showed that there could be hundreds of oranges, which most may have similar shape, size, and color, but somehow they are all different. This activity proved that some people may have the same features, but everyone is different. Inside and out people have their own story and life experience. Another example of what changed my attitude would be the presentation by Jesse Billauer. His story was very inspiring because although he is not able to surf on his legs he still goes into the water. That is inspiring because he did not let his accident stop him from going in the water and doing what he loves. His presentation made me appreciate life and I am thankful for everything I have. Also, I want to experience more in life and be able to look back and be able to say “ooh I did that”. Another presenter named Jeremy, who spoke in our class was a great presenter. With Jeremy he is partly blind. He cannot see the center of where ever he is looking at. There was one main thing that Jeremy said during his presentation that really caught my attention, which was when he explained that if he was offered to get his vision back he would not. He explained that he would not want to have full vision because he would not appreciate life as much as he does now. I can tell that Jeremy is a humble individual and he loves presenting. He really is making a…
