SPC 2608 Miami Dade College Speech by Mary Fisher Discussion

Analyzing the Audience DiscussionAudience Discussion

Watch this speech by Mary Fisher:

The topic of HIV/AIDS was extremely controversial and almost taboo in the early 90s. Many people believed that it was a “gay disease”. Consider Mary Fisher. She is a white woman who is married with two sons. She did not meet the stereotype of someone who could contract HIV.

Watch the entire video. Consider the audience and their reactions. How does Mary Fisher’s audience shape the choices she makes in this speech? Consider the make-up of the audience in terms of their demographic characteristics, as well as their likely attitudes, values, and beliefs. If Fisher was giving this speech to a different audience, would her choices have been different?
