Speech Comm

[CJ feels like her old self...from before. Beware of wicked sarcasm.]

201--Speech
Gang, we've had a week off, so we're behind. I need you to step it up. We're going to make speeches on Thursday regarding the elections...3 to 5 minutes on the topic of the week. You have the freedom to say whatever you want, but I expect it to be done well. Use ethos, pathos, and logos. Ok, brainstorm, and I'll be walking around to give you help. Go.
**************************


301--Interpersonal Comm

Listen up. Families. What can we say. The accepted theory is that the family unit that is pleasing to us is a microcosm of the social structure...likewise, society is a macrocosm of family. Keeping this in mind...and moving away from the self into the hypothetical, lets talk dysfunction. [Writes DYSFUNCTION on the board] This means literally "to not work" but has many interpretations. We're going to figure it all out today...[flatly] then you'll be the smartest class in the school. Ok, go. Talk. Or I'll set fire to the room.

Chip...you're in deep shi--trouble. I need to talk to you out in the hall.

*Elizabeth thinks* Well, it depends on the reasons as to why the family is broken... divorce may be seen as a mortal sin in the eyes of God, but if the father is beating the mother and child, then surely it's better to break a family and incarcerate him, instead of risking him killing them?

The country's GNP also benefits with rising incarceration levels... each trial... especially the large public ones, like OJ Simpson, will add to the GNP, in lawyers fees and hotel bills for example.
