Week#1 Discussion Question#2

I personally disagree with the Greek concept that the orator has to be morally good, because this is a personal treat which is related more to the personal character, not so much to the public speaking. A person can be good at public speaking even being morally good. As an example can serve the politicians, they all have a goal in their political career and not necessarily they have good morals. Their object is to make people to believe what they saying, even if is not the truth. A lot of times they will give us a reason to believe that they are telling us the truth and that their promises will be fulfilled, that’s a skill of being a excellent performer in public speaking. I think we want to be connection between goodness, truth and public communication, but not necessarily we get that result. As long you can be excellent orator is not absolutely necessary to incorporate the 3 keys into your speech, it is a personal decision.

Week#1 Discussion Question#1

I personally don't have a specific public speaker that I admire. I really enjoy listening to the pastors at the First Russian Baptist Church from West Sacramento. They all different when it comes to preaching, they have different styles: ''character''(ethos)''emotional, experience''(pathos) and ''logic''(logos). Each of their speech are captivated by this patterns. I remember one of the times that we had an Envaghilization at the church we had a Eastern European preach who was speaking deep from his hart and also his personal experience. His speech was transmitting his personal experience, his entire life.People were so moved after that speech, which it definitely show how big of the impact can have on peoples' heart a good public speaker. The preach touch the hearts of many people by just the power of word, his ethos and his pathos. I definitely admire people who have the persuasion of the word, it is a very difficult task. I, personally am challenged by the public speaking, but I can still do it for a small group for about ten people. I persuade the ''pathos'', because is easy to express my thoughts boy tagging on the emotions of the audience, which it makes the audience more engaged in the conversation.I  think the Aristotle's classification scheme works, it doesn't matter of the specific order.
