...Chapter 1: Introducing Public Speaking Four Characteristics of Public Speaking: 1. Public speaking features communication between a speaker and an audience 2. Public speaking is audience centered 3. Public speaking emphasizes the spoken word 4. Public speaking is usually a prepared presentation What is the historical tradition of public speaking? As far back as the fifth century B.C.E., all adult male citizens in the Greek city-state of Athens had a right to speak out in the assembly and vote on proposals relating to civic matters. The ancient Greeks were the first people to think formally about rhetoric as well as a subject. Many of Aristotle’s ideas influence the study of public speaking even today. What are the main components of the transactional model of communication? How is this model different than the linear model? The linear model process involves several key elements. Specifically a person with an idea to express is the source, and the idea, that he or she conveys to the audience constitute the message. Sources communicate their messages to one or more receivers, who try to make sense of the messages by decoding. In the transactional model, the participants in a public speaking exchange seek to create a shared meaning – a common understanding with little confusion and few misinterpretations. How does critical thinking influence public speaking? When you engage in critical thinking, you carefully evaluate the evidence and...

...Traditional On Campus Class Welcome to the Traditional On Campus version of Speech 103 Oral Communication! I look forward to getting to know each of you. Over the years, I have learned that many of you dread taking this class (don’t worry I felt the same way when I had to take this class) but I hope that you will find your worries to be unfounded. I work very hard to try to create a comfortable learning environment, primarily because I need you to participate in order for this class to work. This is a participatory-based class where we will all work together to help each other improve our communication skills. Consequently, you will play an active role in your own learning as well as active role in the learning of the other students in this class. Research has shown that when you are an active participant in a class you increase how much you remember as well as how much you can recall after the semester has ended. However, I have found that when you are an active participant in my class you will look forward to coming to each class session and your fears of public speaking will soon decrease. Since this class is participatory, you will find that you will put a lot of thought and effort into this class. Much learning will occur both in class and out side of class. However, while this class is demanding, I hope that you will both enjoy this experience and learn a great deal about communication, how you communicate, and how to be a better...

...audience what will happen if the solution is implemented or does not take place be visual and detailed. 5. Action Tell the audience what action they can take personally to solve the problem * Structure and development of the steps in the motivated sequence Step 1: Getting Attention You must change the attitude at the very beginning if you hope to persuade your listeners to believe or act. Sometimes using methods like rhetorical questions, startling statements, or narratives can accomplish this mission. But sometimes this may be more subdued or low-key. However you open the presentation, remember that you cannot persuade an audience if you don't have their attention. Although stating your position is sometimes held for later in such a speech, it is often wise to state your proposition--the stance you've taken on your issue--at this time. For example, something like, "today I’ll show you why we need to adopt a inter-department communication plan that will ensure compliance with the new Homeland...

...Until Every Piece Fits Autism: a pervasive developmental brain disorder, has taken over controversial issue debates, and impacted families all across the globe. Autism has been a part of my life beginning at age five, before I could even conceptualize what a complex disorder it truly is. I was in kindergarten and like any other five year-old, I was curious about how other people acted. I noticed that some kids were more socially isolated than others, had trouble making friends or even playing with others. I noticed that when it got really loud, or whenever we were doing an activity involving a lot of tactile input, certain kids would pull away and repeat certain behaviors. One particular kid would hunch his back, hyper-extend his fingers, shake them vigorously, as if to dry them off in absence of paper towels, and rock back and forth on his heels. These types of behaviors were relatively commonplace in my experience and I accepted them as absolutely harmless. I had seen the calming affect these rituals had on my classmate. My five year-old self was unknowingly picking up on behaviors that were the hallmark of autism. I attended an elementary school that was located in the autism hub of the county; so several students with autism were mainstreamed, or assimilated, into my classes. These students were not the majority. Rather, neurotypical students, a term used to describe children without a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder, composed the majority of our school’s population...

...Outline the ways in which the media in Britain are regulated. Is there enough regulation? The history of mass communication is rather short in the broad context of the world’s progress. Despite the fact that in all times people felt the urge to share their significant experiences in more durable than verbal form – like the prehistoric paintings on cave walls and invention of writing by Sumerians later – relatively modern forms of communication, reaching large audiences, originated only in the past five hundred years. The importance of sharing information and even more – deciding what to share and what to withhold – was understood from the moment people learned to write. As Tom Clancy put it: ‘Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people’ and that is why since the beginning of times that precious knowledge was divided only between the chosen few: from high priests of the ancient civilizations to the nobility and servants of God in the middle ages; from the dictators like Stalin and Hitler to modern moguls like Rupert Murdoch. In our times mass media became a super-power: it has a colossal impact on society as a whole and its political, economic, cultural constituents, therefore it must be governed and regulated aiming to ensure a freedom to communicate, diversity and universal provision as well as secure communicative and cultural ends chosen by the people for themselves (McQuail, 2010). The obligatory argument that always emerges...

...According to media sources, the current political climate is intense. Many Americans are angry, “dissatisfied with the state of the country, and 64.7% believe that the country is on the wrong track.” In fact, Congress is only getting a few positive nods—about 16% to be exact—from the citizens it serves, because 61% of all voters believe that “most representatives are selling their votes.” (Gallup, 2015) In general, people in the U.S believe the wealthy and special interest groups can easily buy congressional support. The distrust of the government plays a huge part in Americans’ skepticism and panic; in search for a new president, they’re looking for someone to subside their unrest. My candidate, Bernie Sanders, hears the issues at hand and...
