Demonstrations. Why do people demonstrate!  does it make any sense?
371440
Generally this is the way people show support or opposition to an item on the political agenda.  \n\nDoes it make sense?  Sure it does!  If you can get 10 people in a ROOM to agree on one thing these days, it's saying something LOL!  If you can get thousands, then you are showing unity, and chances are, those that are demonstrating are not alone and people at home feel the same way.  It is an effective way of letting ANY governmeent know what the people thinks.\n\nIs it ALWAYS followed?  Ummmmmm no, and thank heavens (not because of the Iraq war)!  If every protest was heard and followed then every single day a demonstration of gigantic proportions would be held for/against the same issue and then how do we decide.  What's important is - the media attention and the fact that you felt strong enough to protest about an issue.  The rest is up to the guys in the White House I guess. :)

My guess is that every other student it also anxious about having to do the presentation. You're not alone. Also, you HAVE to do it, so you might as well make the best of it: come out with the guns blazing.

I hope you can be proud of what you do and who you are.  And if you are trying to show off your accomplishments, the  Question  is "are you" not "don't you".   There are a lot  of wonderful things about the culture.  What are you going to add?

As long as the speaker is providing constructive feedback I think it is all good. You do need to watch out for people who do the "I like your idea, but I don't..." this is where they say they like the idea to cushin that they are disagreeing and then do a 180.

I have to agree with the other posters, it is just practice.  Once you get used to doing your stuff in front of the audience, then you'll be OK.\n\nIt just starts in the beginning, then quickly, it all disappears.

We're doing persuasive speeches this week in my speech class.\n\nA word of advice from my teacher, she likes us to think "outside the box" so to speak. Aka: stay away from the really common subjects. Abortion, gay rights, war in Iraq. Most people have their minds make up completely about them, so it's a hard call.\n\nI've seen people in my class do speeches on why music majors shouldn't have to take biology, why gender selection is bad, why everyone should take a karate or self defense class, the possibilities are pretty much endless. I'm doing mine on why I think my dog's breed is the best dog breed. I was also juggling with why procrastination is bad but I need a visual aid so I can't pull that off. Just think outside the box. You can really make any subject work just as long as you take a side on it. \n\nGood luck to you! My professor says persuasion speeches are the most difficult.

Body language is key! \n\nStudies have shown that people start judging a presentation from the moment the person is called up from their seat. So while sitting and  anticipating the moment, sit straight with a feeling of optimism, not with that of dread. When called upon, never schlep up front as though a sheep led to slaughter. Stand and walk with confidence with deliberate steps. Turn to your audience and talk "with" them....not "at" them. When I'm presenting, I often believe I'm only talking to 3 or 4 people vs. 200. It helps make your audience feel you are personalizing your topic just especially for them. If you "disconnect" yourself by speaking about a topic instead of pulling your audience INTO the presentation, you will lose your audience. Involve them......make them feel they are as integral a part of the presentation as you are! Gestures, proximity to your audience, facial expressions, laughter and smiles all are part of a positive presentation that will leave your audience clamoring for more! Good luck......and let us know how it goes!

Why not just do the experiment and find out for yourself?  It is the best way to learn and retain information.  Doing is better than seeing is better than hearing for information retention.

There is really only one way to perceive it: as successful. I've never heard of a non violent protest failing. It doesn't stop other people from reacting violently; but given enough patience and time, it always works. It did for Gandhi, it did for the American civil rights movement, and I think if the Palestinians really want to accomplish anything, they should be the next to try it.

It is to be able to connect with your audience, at the same time able to bring your point across. Do not be too long winded or your audience will very bored. Try to make whatever you are presenting interesting.

I could help you. But his is time consuming. Let me work on it. When do u have to do this presentation? What is its final purpose? You have said interview presentation. Does that mean you are being interviewed for a job and this presentaion is one of the tests? What is your target audience like? For the interview and for the presentation. If you can provide me with this info and any ideas that you would like to incorporate, we could come up with something good.

Some people ask questions to try to prove they can set a question that people will find difficult to answer.\nSome people ask questions that they think they know the answer to anyway, to try to convince other people to think their way.\nIt seems a waste of time and points to me, either way.

If you can give your users something they want, then they will come. Just build it right and pour in some social proof. Go for it!

Demonstrate something you know well.  I had a student who demonstrated how to put on makeup without a mirror.  She was GOOD at it.  The class loved it and so did I.  Go with your strengths, make sure it is something that can be seen.  If you have a computer and video feed you could demonstrate a million things with gaming, downloading, installing software, researching etc.  When all else fails demonstrate how to clean the classroom.  Make it fun for all the students but get the whole room involved, just like your preschool teacher did.  You will demonstrate something the teacher will love and appreciate.
