Write a speech on dual citizenship, u.s. passports. and being a u.s. citizen. Please below for the criteria and let me know what additional questions you as the tutor have. The cultural artifact is a combination of the three listed prior: dual citizenship, u.s. passports. and being a u.s. citizen

This speech should last at least, but no more than, 6-8 minutes. You will be given a 15-second grace period on either end. This time limit is NOT a suggestion. It is a requirement, and points will be deducted if you go over or under the time limit. In this speech, you will provide an analysis of a cultural artifact using public identity as a critical lens. Your goal in this speech is to explain and support your critical judgment about the artifact.

The object you analyze should be well known or easily shown to your audience. Your analysis should focus on claims made by the artifact in terms of public identity (race/gender/orientation, citizenship, or public memory). Additionally, your speech should inform us about the context of the artifact by presenting sufficient historical and cultural background. Ultimately, you should present a clear and thoughtful argument about the object as something understood as a material example of rhetoric. This argument should NOT be limited to whether the object was aesthetic, functional, or in conversation with community standards. Rather, assess the object according to how it persuades someone to think, to act, or to believe in specific ways -- intentionally or otherwise. Were the purposes of the object (assuming it had purpose) fulfilled or not? What were the consequences or potential impact of the artifact? Were the principles behind it valid?

This assignment will rely on logos. Logos is based on evidence and reasoning, ideas, language, and structure. Your analysis will adhere to these principles. The resulting discussion of the persuasive dimensions of the artifact will demonstrate that you know how to be critically engaged in public life, aware that criticism works in ways that are important for the public good.
Provide support for your speech by drawing on what others say about the artifact or about artifacts like it. Use a minimum of six published sources (in addition to the textbook) cited orally in the speech, cited in the outline for the speech where you use them, and listed in the outline bibliography /works cited page. Four of these six sources must be scholarly (edited, peer-reviewed) publications. Journalistic sources, news-aggregators, and general web pages are not scholarly sources, but they can be used to provide factual information, historical background, or relevant cultural characteristics. The artifact you analyze is not itself a "source." Your instructor can be an extremely valuable resource in developing your perspective: ask your instructor for suggested scholarly readings that will help you construct your analysis. Remember, your purpose is not merely to provide facts, but to use those facts to support the perspective that you are taking.
