Comm 101-Classification of speech

In chapter 21 , it talks about Aristotles classification of speech rhetoric.  One is forensic speaking which is most suitable for a courtroom.  If you watch any courtroom dramas everyone looks very serious and determined to lay the ground work out for their point by giving the judge and jury some background and facts on the particular case.  It always sounds professional and comtemplative.

Deliberative speech pertains to something like political campaigns where politicians go in front of an audience and speak their points and where they stand on cerain subjects.  They paint a picture for people on the outcome of situations if decisions go this way or that way.  The point is to try and sway people's opinions and views so that come election day, they might have their vote. 

Finally epideictic speech gives praise or blame to something.  A lot of speeches are ones that remember someone and what they did if they were a good person or people.  It helps to inspire and motivate people to respect something or someone for what they did.  This kind of speech can also get more people to get active in certain organizations.  Like this month, for breast cancer awareness, there some commercials and reports on tv about it which get people informed on what the organizations do for this cause.  It could inspire someone to be more supportive and maybe involved with it.
