I have many other classes in this spring
semester. In Monday, I have public speaking class by Professor Sato. This class
is to learn about public speaking and some techniques to do effective speech. I
learned such as metaphor, simile, inversion, itemization, repetition,
illustration, quotation and so on. To make speech is pretty difficult for me. I
need more experience of making speech to use rhetorical techniques. Recently, I
discussed about persuasive speech with my partner. This class don’t have exam
however, assignments are increasing day by day. It is serious problem.
So, I will show you my report which topic
is “Japanese government should lower the voting age 20 to 18”.
1) Attention Step
Have you ever been to polls? In old Japan, when we become 15 years old, we
are in the situation named “Genpuku” which is the first step to adults from
kids. Recently, young people’s attention
to politics and the rate of young people going to polls are decreasing, and
it’s often discussed as a problem.
2) Need Step
The election is different from to buy
products. If you don’t buy a product,
the producer improves it to sell you.
However, if you don’t go voting, the politics will never improve. I want you to remember this.
Also, it’s natural for us that we get the
voting right when we become 20 years old, but, in Japan, it started in
1945. So, to get the voting right is
unnatural before then. Then, society has
changed from then. Nowadays, Japanese
live in aging society and declining birth rate is occurred, too. They make it difficult to reflect young
people’s opinion on politic. But, we
should reflect it on our society because young people will shoulder the future
of Japan.
There are three problems to solve. They are to brow young people’s attention to
politic, to increase the rate of young people going to polls, and to reflect
young people’s opinions on politic.
3) Satisfaction Step
Then, how can we solve them? I propose you to lower the voting age from 20
to 18.
4) Visualization Step
18
years old has some big means in Japanese educational sequences. In 18 years old, almost people graduate high
school and start to work or to go to university. It means the situation of almost all people
change when they become 18 years old. To
get voting right with changing situation motivates us more than to get it in 20
years without changing situation. With
the motivation, young people will talk about election, concern about politics,
and go voting.
5) Action Step
So
far, do you understand that it is important to lower the voting age to18? In addition, we understand that the situation
of Japanese election, especially around young people, is not good. First of all, we are over 20 years old and
let’s go voting.
This report is the summary to pursued people
that Japanese government should lower the voting age 20 to 18. To do effective
speech, we have to understand each step. And, now, I am making new speech
typescript as assignment of public speaking class.
