Cultural Artifact Speech Discussion & Outline

Part one

I plan on basing my cultural artifact speech about Mexican San Marcos Blanket on the cultural symbolism in the Mexican community and the fashion appeal that it has due to its uniqueness. I will organize the speech in a topical style. First, I will discuss the cultural connection between the blanket and the people of Mexican origin. I will talk about the various images that are usually embedded on the blanket, including the significance of some of them. I will also talk about how many Mexican households see the blanket as a must-have item. I will also discuss how Latinos prefer giving the blanket as a gift for Christmas and other notable occasions in their lives. Here, I will try to offer examples of people who have received this gift and what they think about when they look at it.

My speech will cover the fashion appeal of the Mexican San Marcos Blanket. In essence, I will discuss the unique appearance of the blankets. I will talk about the creativity and motivation behind some of the images depicted on the blankets. I will sample several blankets with pictures of animals, people, and elements of nature, among others. I will also talk about how people like matching it with other outfits like shoes, hairstyles, and jewelry.

I will talk about the origins of the Mexican San Marcos Blanket in my speech. I will speak of the founders of the company, their motivations behind the idea, and the factors that contributed to the success of this product. I will also talk about the appeal of the blanket outside Mexico, especially with Mexicans living abroad. The speech will also cover the reasons for discontinuation in the manufacturing of the product.
