Critical thinking Assignment Task

Critically  analyse  a  famous  speech  (chosen  from  the  list  of  speeches  provided  on  CloudDeakin) and structurally compare  it with a statement by the head of a company (chosen from the  list of companies provided on CloudDeakin). Please be advised that for Assignment 1, you have to  select  any ONE  letter/report/address  in  the  annual  report of  your  chosen  company which may have been delivered by either the Chairman OR the CEO OR the Managing Director OR the President.

Suggested approach: The structures of the speech and the company head's statement should be comparatively analysed using one or more critical thinking tools and methods discussed in the lectures that are appropriately applicable  to  such a discourse analysis  task. A  structural comparison means you have to compare the two pieces in terms of how well each of them succeeded in their objectives of getting their respective messages through to the intended target audiences. Please be aware that a structural comparison of the two doesn't mean a comparison of their contents as the contents are inevitably expected to be quite different given their vastly different objectives and target audiences.
