Public Speaking: Weapon or Building Block?
b'
In our final episode of the mini-series on Public Speaking, we look at the art of speech and how people use it in our society. We also take a broad-look at messaging in general and what it can do to manipulate people.\\xa0
Public Speaking is a way of transmitting information and motivating people to act either in thought or in person, sometimes both. We take a hard look at not allowing ourselves to be manipulated and controlled by brands and people who want to use speech as a weapon. We, as a society, need to be better than this, respect audience, respect the art of public speaking, and use it to do lots of good.
