Topic from Chp 5

The topic from the reading that I would like to discuss today is about adapting to a diverse audience. I think this is one of the most important topics to talk about because in today’s society we are constantly being sold to or convinced of something. More and more often, people have to convince large groups of people to follow them or buy what they are selling or do something a certain way. People like politicians and advertising companies have to find a way to speak to us as their audience in a way that connects with each of us, who are all very different and unique. This just shows how important finding your “target audience” is. It must be very difficult to find a way to connect with so many people who have varying opinions and backgrounds. In our public speaking class, we have quite a few things in common, so find your target audience is not really an issue, but out in the real world it makes all the difference. Your information must be adjusted to interest and appeal to a diverse group of people in order for you to be heard at all when speaking in public.
