In this assignment I created a five-minute speech to the class on a public issue. I did this assignment on animal testing in cosmetics. I did this by selling the fact that other countries such as England have already banned this cruel testing as there are more effective ways to test products as animals react differently to humans. This is because their skin is more sensitive in comparison to our human skin. The learning outcomes used in this assignment are engaging in the process of citizen leadership by investigating multiple perspectives on important public issues and understanding the nature of public discourse and debate as determined by purpose, audience, and context. In this presentation time management and confidence were the weaker parts of this assignment as I was short on time and used the word um and stumbled over words in a couple areas. Though I am glad that I provided this argument to my class and the different options of cosmetics they can buy or use, as many companies do not use animal testing such as Lush cosmetics.
