"Going back in time"
Description:
This speech is to talk about the people who leave modern life with all its conveniences
and break down all the reasons that lead them to take such decisions.
Abstract:
The speech starts off by asking the question “would you travel back? Or forward in
time?”, to grasp the attentions of the listeners and get them involved into the topic. I will
then start talking about the hardships and the prosperities of modern and primitive lives
and showcase how different life can get in only a matter of a hundred years. This marks
the end of the introduction.
Providing the statistics of how many people live the primitive life in our modern days
and proving this is in fact a commonly practiced lifestyle in some regions and that it is
the more logical and publicly accepted lifestyle in others. Then I will introduce the
concept of -rewilding- And show that this thinking is not uncommon in our living
environment.
I will discuss why we should not follow the rewilding lifestyle even though we have the
physical abilities to do so and that our bodies were made and evolved to be more
fitting and suitable for this lifestyle.
