Rhetoric Situations

I choose to analyze the presentation I wrote and produced in my Global Economy class I took last year to examine a particular theme that is considered key for the continued functioning of the global economy. The main topic I choose to talk about was water, air, and chemical pollution.  The purpose of this presentation was to define the issue and its importance, and to explain the aspect’s significance, which included economic, social, and environmental effects. After introducing and covering my topic, I then briefly reinforced why the theme matters to the world as a whole – and to the future of the global economy.
The audience was not only my professor, but also my classmates. Because the audience had  knowledge and interest in global economy, it was hard to present a topic that would be new and interesting to everyone in the class. Providing pictures and examples during the presentation for better effect.  Each slide had a certain amount of information shown that the audience could keep up with as I was talking.
The genre of this presentation was done formally and through PowerPoint visualization. This was to provide structure, have an organized order of sections, and to have a good timekeeping strategy for the information given. The stance is shown through a formal tone that lets the audience get an understanding of the topic being presented that gave detail and facts about the topic. I also decided to include an opinionated conclusion to show why my topic in pollution matters in the world.
