Undeniably, informative speaking has several guidelines that are crucial especially when the speaker is addressing a certain audience. Definitely, the informative speaking should never overestimate what the targeted audience knows. To be precise, the informative speaking should explain ideas clearly and in detail form. Secondly, the informative speaking should relate the topic under consideration directly to the targeted audience; the informative speaking should address and consider what is important to the audience. Ultimately, the informative speaking should not be over technical based on the education background of the audience. It should include terms and words that the audience understands adequately and are respectful. Therefore, an informative speech should not attempt to convince the audience that one thing is better than another. It does not advocate a course of action. Let’s say, for instance, that you have carefully followed the news about BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Let’s further say that you felt outraged by the sequence of events that led to the spill and, even more so, by its consequences. Consider carefully whether this is a good topic for your informative speech. If your speech describes the process of offshore oil exploration, it will be informative. However, if it expresses your views on what petroleum corporations should do to safeguard their personnel and the environment, save that topic for a persuasive speech. Definitely, potential legal implications for inaccurate speaking actually take place in many nations. Inaccurate speaking can certainly make an individual involved get sued under defamation law. For instance in the United States, if a person gives remarks that hurts another person's reputation; the person who got involved in inaccurate speaking can get sued under defamation law. On 22nd June 2015, chief justice Willy Mutunga in Kenya sued a newspaper named Nairobian under defamation law. WC/450
