While speeches about objects, processes, and events are fairly concrete, speeches about concepts are more abstract. Examples of concept speeches Some examples of topics for concept speeches include: democracy; Taoism; principles of feminism; the philosophy of non-violent protest; and the Big Bang theory. These are all ideas or things that can't be touched - they're beyond our sense perception. They're not physical objects like tables or chairs. Therefore, they require different speaking techniques in concept speeches. Concept speeches are important because they allow you to discuss issues and ideas without getting specific about details. For example, you could talk about "democracy" as a general idea, rather than having to choose between Sweden and America. This allows you to express your opinion on politics or society without being limited by what you know about them. Furthermore, it's easier to understand why certain ideas are important or relevant if you explain them in terms of concepts that have already been defined. For example, when talking about feminism, you could say that it is the belief that men and women should have equal rights, or that it is the idea that women should be given the same opportunities as men. Both explanations are easy to understand and communicate, but only the second one is a concept speech! Finally, concepts are useful when trying to explain things that are difficult to put into words.
