Speech Comm

[She's in a fairly good mood today, sipping a latte and dressed in a warm sweater with extra long sleeves.]


201--Speech
Boys are stupid and girls have cooties is the topic of the week. This is supposed to be funny, people. Lighten up. Deliver, now.

*****************************


301--Non Verbal

Aristotle said that rhetoric is finding and using, in a given situation, the availible means of persuasion.

Let's discuss the rhetoric of the body in the context of what we've learned so far this term. Persuasion, trust, authority, power...all these things factor in to our subconsciuos reactions. Sometimes the message is misinterpreted between the sender and receiver because of differences in cultural meaning.

Rhetoric of body, people. Let's roll.

Lindsey stands up and gives his speech.

Boys are stupid, he says, because they are people and all people are stupid. Boys are just extra stupid because, well, they're boys. Girls are less stupid and have developed cooties as a way to defend themselves against the stupid boys. The boys, being stupid, believe that the cooties are harmful to them and stay far away, and that is exactly how the girls want it. It's only when the boys have outgrown a little of their stupidity that they realize that cooties are not real and are able to interact properly with the girls.
