How do candidacy and election speeches combine deliberative and ceremonial goals? How might they do so effectively? Are there any deliberative and ceremonial goals that might be especially difficult to combine?
What will be an ideal response?
- Nominating and acceptance speeches and inaugural addresses all combine deliberative and ceremonial goals.
- Nominating speeches attempt to persuade people to support a candidate and to draw audiences together around common values.
- Acceptance speeches celebrate the significance of the office and attempt to sway the undecided.
- Inaugural addresses attempt to unify audiences as well as promote an agenda to be pursued.
- The answer should identify tensions between goals, such as laying out a platform in an inaugural speech, which might make identification with those benefiting from the status quo more difficult.
