Blog #5 reflection
Public speaking is avery necessary class tot are in high school. This class help you out in the future. This class gets you pout of your comfort zone, shows you what you're doing wrong and many other things. When I came into this class, i had no idea what to expect. I thought it would be boring and lame and would not help me out. I sincerely take that back because since the day i stepped into the classroom, I have learned something new each day. We doing do the same things everyday, it changes up from writing a speech, to debating, to learning how to project our voice, to have confidence, how to make you sound smarted and so on. This class without a doubt is a game changer when applying for jobs and colleges.
Every four years there is a presidential election, which it falls on this year. For one of our semesters we are doing a debate topic. We have done three debates so far this school year. One on, Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump. The others were LeBron James vs Michael Jordan and Disney vs Pixar. These have been three very fun filled debates. Throughout the debate we have learned many important skills such as, how to refute and rebate against ones words nicely. How to respect others when they are talking.The debate has shown what type of person you are in the moment, the way you speak, and other things arise through debating.
The last speech we wrote recently was on Presidential speech. Why should i be elected? This was a very hard assignment for a couple ways. First, if you had no idea about politics or crisis around the world you were pretty much screwed. You had to know somewhat about this topic. This was a complex writing assign,eat. You had to be very persuasive and careful of what you said. There were a few points you had to come across during the speech. One was your background, what have you done,how will this help the country and make you the best candidate. Second, what areas are you going to focus on? Will it be taxes, college tuition, the battle against terrorism and ISIS, you could've gone many routes in this speech. I wanted to focus on the most important topics, the ones i thought meant the most to the country. My topics were ISIS, gun control, and college tuition. The speech brought ta lot of the problems and struggles I have, but it also brought out a lot of my strength and were I tend to excell. This was avery hard, but goof assignment
Overall, public speaking is a great class to take. It will one hundred percent help you out in the future. This class wasn't on my list when I came to this school but now I am taking it. If yu ever want to become a great speaker, more ocnifedent, learn to use big words, learn how to refute against someone. Most importantly have fun. Then public speaking is the class for you

debate rout draft
hello fellow Americans, my name is Steve Haywood and I've grown up in the Sin City of Las Vegas, when i was 19 I moved out to the east coast to follow my dreams and work for my dad with Haywood Global, our family business, had me working on Wall Street for 15 years I've built many relationships where it has got me where i am today.
Everyone said i wouldnt be able to do it, and no one had faith in me. When i stepped up to become Senator and governor, I knew what I was getting into, both my parents one said" if you want it, you're going to have to work twice as hard as the person next to you."
we will talk about 3 points- terrorism, education, and gun control
elaborate oh these things
explain two parties
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
These are only 3 points I'm addressing today, there are over 25 really important things I could address. I have full respect for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the two are great people and have nothing against them. They both aren't the ones the presidency, they have both been caught in lies. As you all have seen, the debates are just horrendous. They constantly doge questions and just attack each other instead of addressing the questions. Hillary Clinton is a liar, how could you trust her with any information. Trump is aggressive, doesn't know when to stop. These characteristics are very important for one to become president.
I would appreciate your vote for president. If elected, I will continue to fight for the things that are important to american people, no matter how big or small they might be. I will listen to all. come to a happy medium and fight for this nation. Let's work together to make our community and world a better place. God bless American and each one of you

presidential speech
hello fellow Americans, my name is Steve Haywood and I've grown up in the Sin City of Las Vegas, when i was 19 I moved out to the east coast to follow my dreams and work for my dad with Haywood Global, our family business, had me working on Wall Street for 15 years I've built many relationships where it has got me where i am today. for the past 2 years I have served as the Senator for the state of Massachusetts, and before that i was the governor of Massachusetts for 3 years, for the past decade I've help Massachusetts become the state it is today. If you remember when i stepped into office, Massachusetts was a disaster, the tax was highest than ever, the school system in Mass were one o ft he worst in the nation. Everyone said i wouldnt be able to do it, and no one had faith in me. When i stepped up to become Senator and governor, I knew what I was getting into, both my parents one said" if you want it, you're going to have to work twice as hard as the person next to you." And so i did, I had a plan coming into office, I had a burning desire to make things better and make it right. Now we all sit here and you guys are thinking why should i choose Steve for president, well with my past experience in Massachusetts, I think I'm the guy for you. The school system was a disaster, it was one of the worst in the nation. Having 2 kids, i know how much school means to my children and the future for them. The change wont happen right now, it will be in the future, thats when we will see major change. I hated seeing my children suffering in school, the jobs in America will come from them. We need to help them out, educate them, and give them the best education we can. with the topic of education brings my next topic college. Our teenagers and young adults in College are paying so much money for tuition. Over 20 percent of the students right out of high school without scholarship, cant physically pay for college. Our jobs come from our young ones, if students and families cant pay for college, thats 20 percent of the population that will get a low end job or have no job. There is no reasons for this, we need to lower the tuition by half, now this does mean higher tax but this also means more people will be more educated and can get really good jobs, or invent there own things such as Steve Jobs.
with that, bring my next topic Gun Laws. As we all know our country is corrupt and in chaos. The second amendemt states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I don't think and will never take away the second amendment, But people should have limitations. Now we have to deal with terrorists coming into the country, criminals, and many other things. One of the first things i'll put into place when i step into office is the Gun Background check and only allow people to buy standard guns. This will allow honest citizens to have a right to bear arms and have freedom. The FBI will monitor and have in place a system when someones wants to buy a gun. The FBI will go through a thorough background check on the person the wasn't to buy a gun, this will not take away the criminals and people from dying, but what it will do is it will cut down many deaths and terrorists from buying guns.
Terrorism, terrorism is the biggest topic that i want to address today. Since 9/11, terrorism has nearly tripled. We need to take it to the terrorism groups such as isis, and show them what we're really made of. We have allowed ISIS, to enter the US and let them attack us in our own country. Boston bombing, 9/11, multiple bombings shouldn't be happening. We need to make our immigration policy tighter, there is no way there should be ISIS in our own country. When i become president, one of the first things i will do, is we will make our army and navies stronger and go destroy terrorism group such as ISIS. When we have a president that cant even say the groups name, theres something wrong. We need to take it to them, destroy them, and eliminate them from the face of the world. The US needs to show the world what we're and what we stand for. We should never let any country or groups the charge and make us scared. I will put an end to ISIS.

Hillary Clinton is a liar, how could you trust her with any information. Trump is aggressive, doesn't know when to stop. These characteristics are very important for one to become president. These two sons have what it takes. The two parties need to unite to make our nation a better place. Many people believe that leadership is simply being the firs, the biggest or most powerful. Leadership is working together, listening, organization. A leader is someone who sets direction in an effort or task and influences or motivates people to follow the direction. There are different leadership roles, there are leaders in businesses, in families and of our country. I'm ready to take charge and lead this country into a new direction. what we need in this country is change, without a doubt there will be change with me. I would appreciate your vote for president. If elected, I will continue to fight for the things that are important to american people, no matter how big or small they might be. I will listen to all. come to a happy medium and fight for this nation. Let's work together to make our community and world a better place. God bless American and each one of you

Debate analysis
In the next few months the next president will be elected. This will determine the future of the county and our kids. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton, trump is aggressive and says what he means and doesn't cut it short. Trump is smart he chose a calm person to run with him so people get the best of both worlds. There are many ways you can choose or like one candidate mode. One being listen and watching the debate. There are 3-4 presidential debates, the candidates will have questions asked to them and they have to answer accordingly. The first debate was very hectic, a lot of fighting, back and fourth and interrupting. It was definetly fun to watch. The debate last night was a great debate. It was entertaining and fun to watch. Both candidates were attacking each other and they had good points. There were very few points where it was boring. The moderators were a joke and super biased. They only let Clinton refute and talk longer, it was clear who's side they were on. They were definetly democratic and biased. I thought after watching it Hillary Clinton made more mistakes than trump. Clinton is more defensive and doesn't relax yhave responses to turmps comments, she tries to laugh it off but I don't think that works for her, she seems like she has no idea what so say back. Trump was definitely the better at the end. He had better responses and had a lot more of comebacks. He was attacking her at the right moments and knew when to tone it down and apologize about his past or just let it go. Hillary clinton committed the fallacy of obfuscation more than ever. She evaded the question asked more than others and attempted to redirect the line of inquiry to talking points with which she was more comfortable. This helped trump win and she took the heat all night and had nothing to say. In march hillary Clinton spoke about her emails and how they were delayed. She said to the moterator "Colin Powell summed it up well, he was told that some of his emails from more than 10 years ago were going to be retroactively classified, and he called it an absurdity." Here she used appeal to authority, she is very manipulative and know one notices it really. She is very good at dodging questions and changing it around. I think even though she uses fallacies, sometimes it works. I think the appeal to authority maybe worked, some of the fallacies she uses don't work. When she doges a question or changes the topic, it's obvious you can tell that she doesn't like it or has no response. Overall, I thought that both candidates had a lot of good moments, and some not so good. Debates are hard but they definetly have figured it out and they now have a bigger picture and ideas of what they can do. Debate 3 is soon we'll see how both candidates react and what they have to sAy.

Fallacy
a relatively insignificant first event is to lead to a bigger event, which then becames a bigger event, and so on, until some ultimate, significant event is reached, but with each step it becomes more and more improbable.
Ex:
Ex:
- "The US shouldn't get involved militarily in other countries. Once the government sends in a few troops, it will then send in thousands to die.
This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because there is no reason to believe that one event must inevitably follow from another without an argument for such a claim
