🕒 ~20 minutes ✍️Draft your own proposal 🎯 Speaking Skills
Think of a problem in society or a minor moden annoyance. For example:
Speaking into phones horizontally in front of the mouth like a sandwich, particularly in public
Children being noisy in public spaces
Being stuck in traffic
Then, think of a nasty or outlandish solution. Use the satirical tools:
Exaggeration - Making something absurdly large or extreme.
Irony - Saying the opposite of what is actually meant.
Parody - Imitating a style to make fun of it
Sarcasm - Sharp or mocking language
Understatement - Deliberately minimises an absurd situation or issue
Incongruity - Making something serious seem unimportant
Pro tip! Truly tro to sell your modes proposal. Attempt to explain any objections others might have. Be as convincing as possible, presenting your solution as the most logical and sensible solution. However, grace is important; so please be mindful to take it far enough, but not too far.
