Audience Adaptation Plan

1. Audience attitude: Most audiences know that organ donation is a good deed and they will vote for it. But they are deeply affected by Chinese tradition culture so they might have bias against organ donation that they do not want to take action by themselves. Therefore, I will tell the audiences how organ donation can do to those suffered to convince them that organ donation is not a taboo but a method to help others.

2. Reasons: I will provide three reasons that I think they can moved the audience. I want them know that organ donation not only related to one person only but related to the family of the patient and even the society. Although the audiences may not take action right away, I hope the audience can rethink of organ donation.

3. Selecting an organization to meet audience needs: First I will mention the reasons why people do not want to donate their organs. Second, I will give the audiences three factors to explain the myths of organ donation and put stress on why should we donate our organs after dying. Finally, I will reaffirm the importance of organ donation and claim that the audiences to rethink of organ donation.

 

Speech Outline

Speech Goal: I want my audiences to know more about organ donation and help them to get rid of the myths of organ donation.

Introduction

I.                    What can we do after we died? If we still can help others even though we no longer exist in this world?

II.                 We can help others by donating our organs although we are dead. But there are some conceptions in Chinese culture to prevent people from organ donation.

III.              People have different attitude toward organ donation.

Thesis Statement: To persuade people agree with organ donation, there are three reasons for people to vote for organ donation: saving those patients' life, prolonging life and ease the bereaved's sorrow and empathy to other people.

Body

I.                    We can save those who are in need by giving then our organs.

1.         A person's death will affect other people's life in many ways.

2.         There are more than seven thousand patients waiting for organ transplant while only one hundred and fifty people donated their organs last year.

3.         We not only save one people but we also save the whole family.

II.                 Donating organs can prolong the dead's life and also ease the sorrow of the dead's family.

1. Chinese traditional conceptions are obstacles for organ donation.
2. We shouldn't just let our organs be burned to ashes or buried under the ground instead of using them to save more lives.
3. The dead's life can be prolonged and their families' sorrow can be consoled by organ donation.

III.              Empathy is the best policy.

1.           Imagine you are the family member of the patient, how's your feeling and what will you do?

2.           As long as we are in other people's shoes, we may understand how their feelings and rethink of organ donation.

 

Conclusion: Although I have mentioned so many reasons to vote for organ donation, some conceptions are still hard to e changed. If the audiences can realize more about organ donation and rethink of it, they might agree to donate their organs to help those who are in need in the future. And we can live a worthy life because of organ donation.
