Mark Lim Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hello, my English class is starting on a WT2 in which we need to identify which social groups are marginalized, excluded or silenced from a text. The text we have to use is a speech done by someone. Are there any speeches that fits this topic? Please recommend me some, Thanks! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimson.threads Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 to be honest- any political speech would work! It could be interesting to take one that is supposed to be welcoming / open / inclusive & analyse it to see if there is an unconscious exclusion?

It seems like it'll be a fine one. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
