Your speech should include your reflections on the philosophy of Plato and your reflections on some key aspects on what you think it means to be a good, moral and ethical person.
In your discussion, you should also discuss what you feel are the factors that stop people from leading an authentic life. You could discuss the influence of/impact that family, friends, the media and wider society has on living an authentic, happy life.
To make the speech more personal, discuss how your overall experiences in Transition Year, so far, have helped you in your journey to leading a more authentic, happy life.
