Introduction
General Introduction
Name is XXXX speaking on behalf of United Way
Overview
I will be talking about:
The causes of poverty
Who all is affected by poverty
The problems of poverty
The solutions to poverty
The barriers that are stopping people from helping those in poverty
Devices used to drive across the point
Personal and Relatable Example
Have them think of someone they know or think of the people on High Street
Visual
Power point
Audience Participation Exercise
Helps to show the statistic of 60% of people experiencing poverty at some point in their life
22 stand up representing poverty, 7 sit down
Problem Argument
Despite people being aware of the situation the number of people living below the poverty threshold is increasing not decreasing
Visual Aid- On power point
Use the quote “It’s a fundamental paradox: in America, the wealthiest country on earth, one also finds the highest rates of poverty in the developed world” (Rank, 2011).
Been an issue since 1964 when President Lyndon Johnson created “The War on Poverty” (Desilver, 2014).
Targeting Ethos and Logos and fear appeal
Have audience raise their hand if they personally know someone affected by poverty, or have seen a homeless person on the streets begging
This shows people are aware of the situation of poverty yet the number still increases
Targeting Pathos
Poverty is a vicious cycle (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2015) (Duncan, 2012)
Visual Aid- On power point
Parentskids repeat
Children living in poverty
Visual Aid- picture of children in poverty
Statistics of increasing childhood poverty (Johnson, 2015) (Ingraham, 2014) (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2015)
Targeting Pathos and Logos
Severity in Columbus
Statistics (Development Services Agency, 2015)
Targeting to make it more relatable and personal
Solution
End the vicious cycle (Duncan, 2012)
Get proper education, health, homes, and jobs (United Way,2015)
Donate time to United Way
One hour a week
Help multiple other organizations (United Way)
Multiple volunteering opportunities that fit your schedule (United Way, 2015)
Barriers
Time Constraint
Substitute for the time spend on social media, Netflix, video games, napping, etc.
Statistics that show happiness from giving to others which will help them perform better in school, extra curricular, and at job because of positive attitudes
Targets the guilt appeal and reward appeal
Negative Mindset
They want help if they came to United Way
They get caught in the vicious cycle
The have educations and jobs just not enough income
Show statistics and give real life example (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2015)
Target the Interrupt then reframe method, Pathos
Conclusion
Donating just an hour of your week can help multiple people
Target guilt appeal
