Explanation:

A persuasive speech can be defined as a type of speech in which the aim or goals of the writer is to convince the listeners (audience) to accept their own point of view, perspective, ideas or opinions. Thus, the main purpose of a persuasive speech is to inform an action in the minds of the potential listeners by accepting all or part of the ideas, views, or perception being expressed by the speaker.

Basically, the three (3) goals or elements of a persuasive speech are;

I. Convince: this is to make the listeners or audience believe the views being expressed through the use of evidence, superior arguments or logic.

II. Stimulation: this is simply to create excitement and enthusiasm in the minds of potential readers while believing the speaker.

III. Actuate: this is simply to cause the listeners (audience) to take an action. It motivates, incite or compels the readers to do something.

Generally, all persuasive speech must begin with a debatable or arguable thesis (claim).

A speech on a question of value is mainly focused on addressing why something is good or bad.

During the final development stage of a speech on a question of value you should make personal connections with your audience, identify common grounds and then proceed to the differences.
