What aspects does The Art of Public Speaking by Dale Carnegie (1915) make the textbook “stand out” and provide a thorough yet specific understanding when presenting a speech? Carnegie exploits a variety of “efficiency” in his following chapters—three, four, five, seven—providing real-life examples, metaphors, and advice.
“The speaker that fires his force and emphasis at random into a sentence will not get results.” (Carnegie Ch. 3, 13) Chapter three, named “EFFICIENCY THROUGH EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION”, explains that one should not sporadically highlight a word(s) simply because it sounds important but to convey contrasts and relations. The idea of comparing two words or phrases purposely will provide a smooth and greater transition, engaging the audience to be possibly more empathic. (Carnegie Ch. 3, 13) Also when in written form, the best way to represent a change in a word’s denotation is changing the form such that “MOUNTAIN PEAK WORDS…represent the big, important ideas.” (Carnegie Ch.3, 13) A great example shown is when a reporter is told to not write if she or he sees a dog biting a man but if a man is biting a dog, such that she or he should not waste valuable time on “the grass around the tree.” (Carnegie Ch. 3, 14) Not only a visual aids emphasis, but also that act of pronouncing the word(s) differently from the rest will contribute to its significance; some mistaken that yelling is the way; however, it is completely wrong, degrading control, intelligence, and
Being a socialize person, I have always believed that public speaking is not a problem for me at all. However, I realize I was completely wrong as I had to deliver a lot of speeches in front of class, which was a quite a struggle for me. Even though my English accent has gotten a lot better throughout the year, yet it would always get terrible during my speech as I was mispronouncing words constantly. Fortunately, I have came to realize that my accent would not be so bad if I memorize the speech instead of reading it out loud like how I usually would.
Purpose: After listening to my speech, the audience will be more educated on Texas’s roadside attractions, as well as relate to the sites I will discuss in my presentation.
There is no question that after giving about four speeches, I have become a much better overall public speaker. In the beginning of the semester, I would tend to get nervous during some of my speeches and consequently the delivery of my speech would be greatly affected. If I had made a mistake, my level of nervousness would drastically increase and I wouldn’t know how to correct it. Although today I have improved on these aspects. Normally in order to control my nerves I try to think as positively as possible. This is critical because when I start to think even a little bit negatively then I severely hurt my chances of giving a good speech. Instead today, my main priority is to stay very confident and tell myself that I’m going to perform fine.

As many of you may know today is a day for rebellion, against the slums, the ghettos, the bloody heels of crying children and bad jobs, today we arise as a nation for freedom and equality to stand against segregation. Today we rebel against the aggressors, to make a stand, so that every man, of any race may stand, and coexist as equals. Almost one hundred years ago all of the African Americans made free by the emancipation proclamation. But yet today one hundred, One Hundred, years later we still have to use the colored bathroom, the colored bars, the colored water fountains, and sit on the back of the bus.

Only a select few people take pleasure in giving presentations or public speaking. I am not one of those people. Public speaking has always been a problem for me. G.A.D. or general anxiety disorder, has been a substantial factor in my life and being graded or judged on how well you speak in front of people, doesn’t exactly help. Whether it is five people or over a thousand, when pressure is put on you-you have to react. For example, when your grade for the quarter depends on how well you give a presentation, or when you have a competition or a big game. Consequently, you could become exceedingly anxious, and begin to doubt yourself, and that can lead to horrible situations.
A confident speaker in a reliable speaker. When an individual gives a speech with great confidence the message that is presented will be more believable. When it comes to public speaking my main goal is to be confident while giving my speech. I have noticed that my confidence allows me to exceeded during presentations. There are many public speaking techniques that I still need to further develop. With the concepts and skills learned in class, and practice I will be able to excel at public speaking.

When thinking of great leaders in the world today most people think of Barack Obama, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, but I wouldn’t expect that someone like Dan T. Cathy the CEO and President of Chick-fil-A to be a great leader. When thinking of Chick-fi-A the first thing that comes to mind is there great chicken sandwich or even that they are closed on Sunday’s, but never that they have such a powerful and motivational leader ahead of their company that moves them into the right direction in the fast food market. Dan T. Cathy gave a speech at an executive speech conference at Duke University on the basis of leadership and his personal beliefs towards what a leader is. Things that he discussed through his speech was how he views
On August 11 of this year, several violent protests from the alt-right occurred in the University of Virginia. The main goal for their protest was to oppose the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue that stood in Emancipation Park. Instead, violent acts between the alt- right and left ensued resulting in the deaths of three participating protesters. As expected, the President of the United States responded to the protests in several speeches and press conferences. Two particular speeches by Trump were given to the public and greatly differed from each other. One was given immediately after the protests, while the press conference happened as a means for Trump to respond to the journalists that were present. While these two speeches both dealt with the violence in Charlottesville, the press conference that took place in Trump tower proved to be more effective in delivering his message.
The presentation introduced some common ideas related to ethics. One thing curve into my mind was the doctrine of relative faith that every single person in our society tends to regard “I am not so bad as long as others are worse”. That argument is somewhat cliché or general excuse when it comes to unethical behavior.
