Anyone in a Speech course, here's a copy of an A+ speech. It is in outline form, yes. The instructor, Matt Taylor (as you can see), did not allow "written" speeches. We had to memorize the outline of our speeches - an only the outline. We were not allowed index cards or any aids whatsoever that would help us "recite" our speeches. If you're attending Fullerton College, I recommend this guy as an instructor. He's tough but it's worth it. BTW - he's a self-described "flaming liberal" and, as you see by this speech, I'm not ... yet, I still think he is a great professor. Anyway, I used a lot of rhetoric in this speech. I use a lot of rhetoric in everything. I can't help it. I can't stay focused if speeches or papers are dry.

After the reading the Issues & Applications in your etext: Interpreting Employment Data as the Gig Economy Grows and researching online how Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance are more specifically funded, please answer the following questions:
a. Why might the U.S. government, which funds Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance programs by taxing wages, desire to find a way to reduce self-employment and inhibit the growth of the gig economy?
b. Do you see the growth of the gig economy as a positive or negative trend in the economy? Explain.
The government might desire to reduce self-employment and inhibit the gig economy due to its impact on full time employees. The gig economy can make it harder for employees to develop fully in their career when there are temporary employees that are cheaper and more flexible. This can disrupt the traditional work settings like stability and security. The gig economy can also negatively affect building long-term relationships due to lack of familiarity and trust. I personally am not for or against the growth of the gig economy. In our generation, I see the growth in independent individual companies and entrepreneurs and the idea of flexibility makes sense. I also understand the need for stability and security with full time employment opportunities.
Manuel Garza
Question A
The government wants to have a gig economy because the employee pays the taxes at whatever the rate is while the self-employed person pays the taxes and can still deduct that tax rate in the itemization section.
Question B
I see the gig economy as both, and it depends on the worker and if they want to assume the liability. A self-employed person assumes all the liabilities including the taxes where a gig worker doesn't because they are employed by a company. I don't know where it's at now but when I was growing up, there was a surge of people doing the self-employed jobs because it gave more freedom and allowed them to do as they pleased. You can turn down work or take work as it fits your schedule. So I would say the gig is a safe bet but not negative or positive.

This Assessment constitutes a Performance Task in which you are as.docxhowardh5
This Assessment constitutes a Performance Task in which you are asked to assume the role of a director in an early childhood setting. You will be asked to research appropriate funding sources and to create a balanced budget that aligns with the mission and vision of the early childhood program provided in the scenario.
Envision that you are the director of The Learning Place Early Childhood Center. A severe flood has recently occurred in the area, causing water damage to many homes and businesses in the town.
In this Assessment, you will seek new funding sources to cover costs, develop a balanced budget, and provide a rationale for your budgetary decisions.
Your response to this Assessment should:
PART I: FUNDING SOURCES
On the “Funding Source Template” provided, list and describe at least three specific funding sources that you will seek out to help pay for the new costs due to the flooding. Provide a rationale explaining how the funding sources meet the needs of the early childhood program.
PART II – CREATING THE BUDGET
Create a balanced budget under the tab “Please Update Budget” in the Excel “Assessment Budget” document. This balanced budget must account for the following that occurred as a result of the flood:
1. The Learning Place Early Childhood Center needs a great deal of repairs as the entire floor is covered with up to 1-foot of water. The estimated repairs are approximately $15,000.
2. It will cost about $6,000 to fix the damaged furniture and equipment.
3. The outdoor play area has large cracks in the pavement and the jungle gym has become rusty due to flooding. Repairs on the outdoor play area are estimated at about $10,000.
4. Families in the neighborhood are experiencing losses in their homes as well. As a result, several families have decided to withdraw their children from your early childhood care center as they cannot afford the weekly tuition. The estimated tuition loss is approximately $25,000 for the year.
5. Two lead teachers and one assistant teacher have decided to move to a different town, causing them to resign from their positions. These teachers will only be paid approximately half their salaries for the year.
Balance your budget so that it is clearly aligned with the mission and beliefs of The Learning Place Early Childhood Center in the “Assessment Mission” document.
PART III: BUDGET RATIONALE
Write a 3- to 4-page essay that:
· Explains how your budget reflects the mission and vision of The Learning Place Early Childhood Center
· Provides the rationales for the changes that you made to the budget in Part II
· Explains why cash-flow analysis, projections, and long-term planning are all important when managing budgets (Note: In your explanation, be sure to relate these terms to the given scenario and any relevant professional experience that you may have.)

Informative speech process outline
1. 1
Informative Speech (Process)
General Purpose: To inform my audience about a process.
Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the process of succeeding in higher
education.
Thesis Statement: Motivation, setting goals, and learning and using skill sets are three
essential elements for succeeding in college.
Introduction
I. Attention Getter: Do you want to make more money?
A. Do you want to have a more secure career?
B. How about a second home?
C. What about being able to afford to take a vacation?
II. Thesis Statement/Introduce Topic: A college degree will enable you to
make these things happen, and in order to succeed in college you need to
know how a degree will help you.
III. Preview: Motivation is the first component of a attaining a college
degree.
A. Even with the proper motivation, however, you still need to set goals to
help you get where you wish to be.
B. Finally, you need the right skill sets to achieve in college,
because after all, “it ain’t high school.”
[Transition: With all those things in mind, let’s first look at the basic
value of a college degree.]
I. Main Point: It is important to know that a college degree can provide you
with many advantages, most notable in employment and earning potential.
A. Sub-point: According to the Associated Press, during the 2008
recession those with a college degree lost their jobs at half the rate of
those without a degree.
2. 2
B. Sub-point: The AP said that if college grads do lose jobs they get
another quicker, make more money, and have more savings (Leonard,
January 10, 2009, par. 2).
C. Sub-point: That AP article quoted Lawrence Mishel, president of the
Economic Policy Institute in Washington D.C., as saying: that college
graduates "have a privileged position in the labor market" (Leonard,
January 10, 2009, par. 7).
D. Sub-point: The AP noted that these statistics are true over time too.
1. Sub-sub-point: In 1983 the unemployment rate for college
grads was 3.4, compared to 10.4 for the overall population
(Leonard, January 10, 2009, par. 8).
2. Sub-sub-point: Also consider that during bad times in the
1990s college graduates’ unemployment only raised to 3.4%,
while those without the degree rose to12.2% (Leonard, January
10, 2009, par. 8-9).
E. Sub-point: The AP also noted that high school grads average about
$15.02 an hour, while college grads earn over $26.50 per hour
(Leonard, January 10, 2009, par. 11).
F. Sub-point: And to show just how much industry values education,
attaining an advanced degree gets you over $33.50 per hour (Leonard,
January 10, 2009, par. 11).
[Transition: As you can see receiving a college degree has many advantages,
providing the motivation, but you will need to set goals to achieve that degree.]
II. Main Point: There are two types of goals for you to consider.
A. Sub-point: First there are short term goals.
1. Sub-sub-point: Short term goals help you meet your long
term goals.
2. Sub-sub-point: Achieving short term goals lets you realize
that you are making progress.
B. Sub-point: Long term goals clarify direction and have several factors.
1. Sub-sub-point: Long term goals should fit your values, so, if
you want a flashy lifestyle it is probably not a good idea to
major in education to become a school teacher.
3. 3
2. Sub-sub-point: Long term goals should also be realistic, so if
you are a not a math or science major then a career in
aeronautics is probably not a reasonable goal.
3. Sub-sub-point: You should be able to measure your long term
goals by dates, advancing from freshman to sophomore, to
junior, etc.
4. Sub-sub-point: You should also make your goals flexible, as
interests change and you meet new people and take different
classes.
[Transition: But having goals is not enough, you also need certain skills to succeed in
college.]
III. Main Point: Time management is one of those skills that not everyone
has. It is a learned skill.
A. Sub-point: You need to manage the 168 hours that there are in a
week.
B. Sub-point: It is necessary to have a planner and to have assignment
dates listed so you will know in advance when things are due.
C. Sub-point: Planners also help you manage multiple assignments.
D. Sub-point: Sometimes unexpected things surface, so, it is important
to have extra time built into your schedule to accommodate unforeseen
time requirements, and don’t forget to set time for sleep!
[Transition: Just as you budget time, you have to also budget your money.]
IV. Main Point: Properly handling money is an important skill for college
students as most have very limited finances.
A. Sub-point: College, even at a public school, is expensive and for
many students debt is inevitable.
1. Sub-sub-point: According to the National Center for
Education Statistics the cost of one year of college tuition and
room and board was over $3,800, and 20 years later that had
gone up by over 300% to over $12,000. (see table at:
http://nces.ed.gov/FastFacts/display.asp?id=76).
4. 4
2. Sub-sub-point: Most college students live on a pretty meager
allotment of finances, so paying tuition and covering other
costs is difficult.
B. Sub-point: It is imperative that you have a good idea of your
daily, weekly, monthly, and annual expenses.
1. Sub-sub-point: MSNBC noted that over 75% of college
students use credit cards (Silver-Greenberg, September 5,
2007, par. 2), and Bankrate.com said that the average college
student’s credit card debt was $2,200 (Lazaroney, par. 3).
2. Sub-sub-point: According to The Economist loans have shot
up from $41 billion in 2007 to currently $87 billion (“Bailing
Out,” par. 2).
3. Sub-sub-point: If you do take out a student loan make sure it
is for your education and not spent on lifestyle things such as
vacations, partying, or other forms of entertainment.
[Transition: As you can see a college degree requires some thoughtful planning.]
Conclusion
I. Signpost: In summary, motivation, time and money skills are required for
college success.
II. Summary: A college degree will earn you more money.
A. A college degree will make it less likely you will lose your job, and
easier to find another one if you do.
B. In order to get those benefits, though, you will need to establish short
term and long term goals.
C. It is also important to have a budget, so that if you borrow money you
ensure that it is to advance your education.
D. Essentially, to succeed in college you need to be properly motivated to
achieve in college, know how to set goals, and learn what skills you
will need to get your degree.
III. Clincher: It may seem like a hassle at times, but realize getting a college
degree is going to have a profound impact on the rest of your life.
