Functioning Governments, Thursday, October 29, 2020
Steve rushed into the room, still in his Captain America uniform from the Avengers compound up in New York, and gave Tony an apologetic smile. "Hello, everyone," he said. "Sorry that I was running a little late."
The suit, at least, was very patriotic.
Tony smiled back at him and nodded before turning back to the class. "Alright, so this weekend is Halloween and next week is... election day for America. So, we felt something nice and easy would be best for this week's class." There was a pause before he added. "Also, there were spiders on the paperwork we had planned."
Steve shuddered. "So many spiders. So we'll talk about the power a good speech can have in keeping a government functional. There needs to be a two-way street between elected officials and the people who elected them. There needs to be truth, even if it's difficult truths."
"We have two videos for you," Tony said, eyeing something as it crawled over the desk. "First up is from the previous President of the United States. And another showcasing a time when political accountability was called out on a national scale."
"Watch how they deliver their speeches, their word choices," Steve said, "and figure out why it works."
