Speech Communication Week 4 Discussion
Activity 1: Discussion
Context: Consider the impact that resulted from these distinctive and artful speeches:
· “I have a dream.” Martin Luther King, Jr. MLK Jr. knew he had to change both the hearts as well as the minds of the country. His grace, the rhythmic propulsion of his ideas, the quotes that he used are what memorable, life-changing speeches are made of. How many would people remember if MLK Jr’s speech was a series of complaints or legal threats?
· ” Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall .” President Ronald Reagan Ronald Reagan used four simple words to initiate one of the most significant political moments of all of time. His advisors argued against these four words and in favor of more ‘presidential’ language, but Reagan resisted and the result was an incredible speech.
