- Richard wanted to let every city know that there is a better way to deal with panhandlers. His program is called a better way. They offer panhandlers jobs for the day and a place to seek help for any problems they might have. He the talks about how sad it is that people have to ask for money. And how that we feel good for giving them money but what we as a community are being as effective as we could be. This is pathos. Richard also give lots of statistics on how his program has already worked in his city, logos. And to add credibility this speech he is the mayor of a city that runs the program.
- This speech really connects to our class because of the panhandlers. We were talking about minimum wage workers and how bad they have it. Now imagine a person without a minimum wage job. As a mayor Richard did not want to see his citizens suffer. And he believes the homeless belong any were in his city just as much as he does.
- The American value of individuality and community are heavily represented in his speech. Individuality because the panhandlers work for their own money and they themselves have to make the money and seek help. Community is represented because it takes the community together to help supply these people with jobs.
- This was my favorite speech. Not because he was a good speaker [he was though] but because of the powerful message it conveys. How five dollars given to a panhandler can feed him once maybe twice but at a food bank it could feed twenty people. How there is a more effective way to help the people that are struggling. It takes compassion and dedication to pull of what they have. But because it is a core American value to most of us the compassion part is not the problem. The problem is ignorance. Not stupidity but just a lack of knowledge of how to most effectively help those in need. But, if his message spreads we could end the problem of panhandling.
- what i am doing is not as effective as it could be, but i can be a great help with little efoort.
