- In my presentation, I used a variety of persuasive techniques, whilst trying to adopt a calm but passionate tone. By the end of the speech, I wanted to leave listeners feeling empowered but concerned, so I was careful to balance the use of emotionally provocative phrases with objective facts and data. These data included sources such as the United Nations, a commonly revered organisation,\cite{azaoulay} and first-hand quotes from journalists affected by the issue. These credible sources were intended to give my presentation a more professional and well-planned quality, rather than relying on my opinion alone which would be less convincing given the nature of the issue.
