I will be writing a speech when I want to discuss the issue of depression in the discourse community. The reason why I will write a speech is because I feel it will help me connect with the audiences easily. I have done speeches before to discuss several problems and it is the best way to make your audience realize why this issue is so important to be discussed and needs to be solved. The outline I will be using to discuss the issue in my discourse community through the speech follows:

Introduction- This is where I will greet all my audiences. Then I will start addressing my issue and share what I believe about it. 

Details about the issue- I will define what depression is. What causes depression and why there’s no shame discussing it. What are the facts related to it?

Examples- Give some real life examples, or maybe show some charts that show how many people are affected by depression. 

Questions- Ask audiences what they think about it. What are the concerns they have regarding depression?

Conclusion- this is where I will talk with my audiences and discuss how we all can come together to solve it. How we all can do our part and get rid of it.
