The video epxlains: 1. Good persuasion is based on stock issues, which are recurring themes in persuasive speeches. 2. The four stock issues are Ills (identifying the root problem), Blames (determining what is preventing a solution), Cures (proposing a plan to solve the problem), and Consequences (evaluating the outcomes of the proposed solution). 3. Ills can be assessed quantitatively (how big is the problem) and qualitatively (how bad is the problem). 4. Blames can be categorized into structural inherency (formal barriers), attitudinal inherency (informal barriers), and gap inherency (existing solutions are insufficient). 5. Cures should be examined for their solvency, workability, and implementation feasibility. 6. Consequences can be material or social, highlighting the potential effects of the proposed solution. 7. These stock issues provide a structured approach to building persuasive speeches.
