Persuasive Speech: Observation and Results of Surveys
Lauren Amar
Observation and results of my survey for the Persuasive Speech:
After collecting the results of my survey, I found out that this survey was really helpful and essential to my speech. Indeed, it offers me a really adequate sources as it my own survey and it shows results on my own audience, which is really interesting.
I found out only one person out of the whole class needed blood, which is very interesting as it makes me understand why people do not give blood away. They think that it doe not concern them, as they never faced a situation where you need blood to survive. Only 23.5% of the class donated blood and my goal in my speech on Tuesday will be to change this very low percentage as it is striking to me that it never occurred to some of my classmates to help someone by giving them blood. The most shocking number was that 50% of the class is not aware of the consequences of blood donations. In a way, this percentage made me smile, as it makes me believe that it is now my role to explain to my class those consequences.
In addition, I realized that ¼ of my classmates would not give their blood away even if someone needed it. I think that even if you are scared of needles, you can do it once or twice in your life to help someone, even if it not someone that you are familiar with. I also asked how likely my classmates would do it on a scale from 1 to 5: most people (41,2% of the class) responded: “Yes, but it depend on... (the person, the safety, your health, etc.)”. This answer is not very surprising.
After getting more and more information on my topic, I learned that the donor could actually choose to whom he gives his blood. Therefore, I asked to my peers which method they would prefer if they were about to donate blood. Only one person in the class would prefer donate blood with an allogeneic donation: when a donor gives blood for storage at a blood bank for transfusion to an unknown recipient; 52,9% prefer to donate blood with a
