A persuasive speech can be one of the most challenging types of presentation. For this type of presentation, you need to persuade someone to buy into your idea or approve your proposal. Your experience of composing a persuasive speech for this assignment will better prepare you to develop an effective poster presentation for your project. At the beginning of this course, you were presented with four potential humanitarian aid trip options that could be funded by the SNHU Humanitarian Aid Foundation. After reading the paper “Aggressive and Violent Behavior Among Military Personnel Deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan: Prevalence and Link With Deployment and Combat Exposure,” you are inspired to propose a new trip to the stakeholders.
By investigating the scholarly literature, you will answer the questions: What type of trip does this systematic review and meta-analysis inspire? Since the paper is greater than five years old, does the current evidence suggest that these issues are still relevant? What unique health challenge do you believe is feasible as a focus for improvement? How are the elements of occupational health, environmental health, violence, and injury connected to this situation? How could they be improved if a humanitarian aid trip were performed in this scenario?
