Components of Ethos Needed in Delivering Speech

Speech Presentation Instructions:

Hi good evening can you just write please what is told because i have to present it . thank you
Have I put forth effort to learn who my audience is so I have something to offer them?
Do I respect my audience as individual human beings? Do I respect them enough to serve their needs and interests?
Is my topic relevant and appropriate for them?
Is my approach honest and sensitive to their preexisting beliefs?
Reviewing demographic and psychographic information (Lesson 5.1) can help you answer these questions.
Ultimately, your audience needs to know they can trust your motivations, intentions, and knowledge. They must believe that you have no hidden motives, that you will not manipulate or trick them, and that you have their best interests at heart.
A good way to "test" your credibility is to look closely at 21st century components of Ethos:
Ethos 3
You see, these days, not only are we concerned with our Character (or honesty), our Competence (knowledge about the topic), and how we convey our Caring (about the audience), we also want to deliver an engaging and dynamic message. Body language and appearance play a role in the Charisma we bring to a speech, however, the delivery of a message must never take center stage. Content must always be the focus of a speaker's attempt to develop credibility. Likewise, an audience must plug into the content of a speech when deciding the credibility of a speaker.
Four Components of Ethos
Components of Ethos
If we are ever so infatuated with a speaker's ability to "wow" us with skilled delivery techniques, we may miss the real meaning behind the message. We may be so overwhelmed by a speaker's "slick salesmanship" and "emotional appeal" that we miss the essence of what is being said. We may be "convinced" even if there is no solid evidence or reasoning as to why we ought to be convinced. This is the challenge we must meet as potential speakers and audience members.
So, let's see how good we are at recognizing speaker Ethos (credibility). Here's the assignment:
Once you've studied Chapter 5, completed Lesson 6 Quiz, and reviewed the material here, you'll want to choose one of the videos below and present a 4 - 5 minute informal speech discussing whether you believe the speaker has developed Ethos (or credibility) within the presentation. You'll want to base your discussion on the principles of Competence, Character, Caring, and Charisma.
After gathering your thoughts and making a few notes (on note cards), tell us what you've learned in a "low pressure" 4 to 5 minute informal "talk". In other words, tell us what you've discovered about how the speaker developed ethos, specifically:
How did the speaker show that she/he was competent?
What did the speaker specifically do to project character?
How did the speaker specifically show that she/he cared about the audience?
What particular techniques did the speaker use to project charisma?
Again, state your perspective and support your thoughts using the 4 Components of Ethos described above. Feel free also to add in "evidence" from this week's e-text reading as well as brief portions of the video you chose.
Here are the videos from which you may choose:
Either The Power in ‘I am’ - Theodore Roosevelt Johnson OR The Art of Asking - Amanda Palmer OR The Muslim on the Airplane - Amal Kassir
Remember, you're only choosing one of these videos to develop this speech. (And we are recording a speech video here not a written discussion.)
As usual, review the rubric to see how this speech and your response to your peers will be evaluated.

Speech Discussion
Ethnic stereotyping is increasingly becoming severe in the world. Muslims are judged on the perception that they are associated with terrorism. Amal, a Muslim living in America, shares her experience throughout the world through her own experience. There are many aspects that the speaker uses to show ethos. Her character, competence, and emotional connection are outstanding and make the audience relate to the message. All these aspects are elaborated on as shown below.
The speaker showcased his competency by introducing herself and detailed descriptions of her descriptions. She also uses proper speech presentation skills using competent evaluation of her experiences throughout her life. Using appropriate lang...
