Hello, my name is Priscilla Arellano and today I will be talking to you guys a little bit
about a topic discussed in module 9 Preparing a speech.
So the subtopic that I choose to do my application video on was researching and supporting material
for a speech.
This takes us back all the way to my elementary school.
When it was time for our class to visit the library, the librarians would have us go and
sit at the computers, log in and the first thing that they had us do was click on the
little icon on the screen that had the stack of books, and that was for the library database.
At first I was like, what, what is this?
What is library database, aren't we in the library?
Come to find out, the library database as you all know is basically a website that has
very reliable material that we can use for our speeches, for our research papers, and
for our own research ourselves.
This continued on into middle school, using the library database, high school also using
the library database and even here at UTSA when you log on to the computers and you go
on the internet, it takes you straight to the library website.
It's kind of a question to ask, why is this so important?
Well, these library databases have reliable material, so you don't have to go searching
to find something that you know is gonna be credible.
A lot of the times, the material on these websites are gonna be peer reviewed or scholarly
reviewed, or they're gonna have a lot of research done with them that has backed up what they
say.
It's not something that these people are making up.
It's important to do you research when you're giving a speech because when you listen to
someone talking, you want to know that they are a credible source.
You wanna believe that these people are not just saying stuff and pulling things out of
thin air.
You wanna know that these people actually have done their research on what they're talking
about have actually tried to put the effort into the speech they're giving.
It's important because we always ask ourselves why?
Even so in regular conversation.
You don't necessarily accept the simple answers people give you.
A lot of the times we question well, why?
A lot of the times's it's the 5 W's.
Who, what when where and why.
We ask ourselves why did they do what they did?
When someone is talking to us.
Or why should we believe what so and so is telling us?
In regular conversation
if we're asking ourselves why
your audience who you're speaking to when you're presenting your speech is also going
to be asking themselves, why?
So in conclusion, I find that it is important to have a back up to your responses.
You always wanna be able to be like, well I have done this this and this to prove what
I'm saying is actually true, it is actually reliable, I know what I'm talking about.
There's always gonna be someone out there who is trying to question you, and push your
buttons, basically play devil's advocate and it's good to have a comeback.
Thank you guys for watching!
