Assignment #5: The Formal Informative Speech (5-8 Minutes)

Due: Week 9 (this week).

Speech Assignment: Communicate on Your Feet, an Expository Speech

The United States has gone to war with North Korea in the past (1950-1953). It was a challenging undertaking due to geography and climate, and because of the Chinese and the Soviets taking the side of the North Koreans. Millions died in the process, and North Korea has used this as one of the pretexts in their quest for the weapons of mass destruction. Of course, conflicts are unpredictable and they tend to spiral out of control. Not many players would wish to rush to war since the outcome is uncertain. I look forward to reevaluating this issue to understand the history behind the Korean crisis, all the parties involved, any intervention measures being put in place to prevent war, any successes and/or stalemates, as well as why there is a lot of mistrust. I hope to be able to predict development on the Korean issue over the next few months with relative certainty.There has been a lot of talk about the North Korean nuclear activity; and, of course, this is concerning since North Korea does not seem to be slowing down. The North Koreans insist on developing and possessing these dangerous weapons, and they have made it clear of their intentions to use them if attacked or provoked. North Korea may not be having a real enemy as of now. This is since South Korea, Japan, and the United States are highly regarded as the beacons of morality and humanity in general. In fact, immediately after President Trump came to office, there were fears that a war with Korea may break-out. Diplomacy worked, and the world was pulled from the brink of another catastrophe.
