Death in LA When watching these videos, please pay careful attention to the arguments she makes. Try to pick out the problems, causes, and solutions. I do want to point out that while she does make excellent persuasive arguments, this is too unorganized for a speech. Please do not emulate this style when formatting your persuasive speech. You are free to pick your organizational format, but you must choose from the ones listed in the prompt. Caitlin Doughty Caitlin Doughty has a YouTube channel that I love. She’s an upbeat, amazing speaker who really pushes Death positivity, sustainable practices, and low-cost funeral services. Covid, however, has had such an impact on her and her staff, she uploaded two videos that are very different for her. They’re amazing. Please watch Our Funeral Home is Overwhelmed with Bodies (????????) and Have Deaths Slowed Down in Los Angeles? (????????). When finished, please respond to this discussion with answers to the following questions: What are two of the problems Caitlin outlined in her first video, Our Funeral Home is Overwhelmed with Bodies? What is (are) the cause(s) of those two problems? What are two solutions articulated in the first video? In Have Deaths Slowed Down in Los Angeles, what does Caitlin say is the problem funeral homes are facing still? Who does the government think should bear the cost of managing the corpses? What are two things Caitlin says we shouldn’t demonize? You do not need to respond to another classmate’s reply, but I do want you to take a look at what others have picked up on. It will help you to better understand persuasive messages. Solutions One of the main reasons I chose these videos is Caitlin’s solutions. When she discusses the causes of the problems she outlines, she offers actual solutions. She even goes on to provide information about why the solutions haven’t worked. For your persuasive speech, you will need to offer solutions to the problem you outline. If you provide causes, your solution must link to that cause. Again, you may choose the organizational format, but you must choose from what I’ve posted. I will require two sources for your speech that involve solutions, so if you haven’t already submitted some in your first round of speech research, try to focus on the examples in these videos to inspire you in your future research.
