Demonstrative health topics can focus on the areas of healthy living and patient care. Topics about healthy living can teach people how to lose weight, pick a trainer, control their diabetes and cholesterol, go vegan or vegetarian, cook healthy recipes, shop organic or begin an exercise program. Topics about patient care can help people choose a pediatrician, pick a nursing home for an aging parent or grandparent, select the right insurance plan and choose the right hospital. Demonstrative topics can also address how the overall health system works, how doctors screen for certain cancers and how insurance companies process claims.
Topics about the economy can address saving money at home and getting ready for retirement. Teaching people how to shop consignment, buy in bulk, use coupons, shop farmers' markets, create a family budget and talk to their children about finances all make great demonstration speeches. In getting ready for retirement, people can do topics such as how to find a bank, choose a stock broker, choose an investment plan or select a job with a pension system. Topics can also show people the impact of the Federal Reserve on the American economy or how the world market sets the price of oil.
Education topics can make great demonstrations in the areas of curriculum, from elementary to the college level for both teachers and students. Topics can focus on how to study for standardized tests, use computers for classroom instruction, talk to a teacher about a low grade, select the best charter school, homeschool children and deal with bullying and behavioral problems. Topics can also address how to pay for college, get a student loan and prepare for graduate school. Demonstrations can also show how each state uses its Department of Education to make decisions, how teachers' unions influence the educational system and how politicians' use their power to make educational changes.
The mass media offers a broad spectrum of topics, because of the wide variety of fields people can choose in broadcasting, advertising and public relations. In broadcasting, speeches can focus on how to buy a high definition television, put together a television news story and put together a radio show. Topics on advertising can show people how to develop a concept for a product, determine advertising rates, figure out demographics of a product or service and use celebrity endorsements to sell a product. Public relations topics can teach people how to create heartfelt campaigns, develop newsletters for nonprofits and prevent missteps in a campaign.
