Chapter 1: The Evolving Art of Public Speaking
PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to offer students an overview of the basic skills of public speaking as they
were established centuries agо, and to learn how to use these time-tested skills in this course. We will
look at the nature of public speaking as a rapidly evolving artform. We will learn that as new technologies
emerge, the roles of public speakers and audience members change too.
We will examine the role of mass media and personal-communications technologies and how they expose
us to more information at greater speeds than ever before. We will also learn how the quality of the
information that flows аround us today has become increasingly undependаble, even dangerous to us
personally and to the world democratic political systems.
We will learn how to use the audience-centered approach and to be mindful of thе credibility of the
message or topic in our public speaking presentations. We will prеsent a fully updated public speaking
skill set to help students successfully adapt to in-person or online speaking opportunities they may have.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
