Chapter 1: Why Public Speaking Matters Today Public Speaking in the Twenty-First Century Nadine Dereza – ‘Insider Secrets of Public Speaking’. – CC BY-NC-ND 2.0. Public speaking is the process of designing and delivering a message to an audience. Effective public speaking involves understanding your audience and speaking goals, choosing elements for the speech that will engage your audience with your topic, and delivering your message skillfully. Good public speakers understand that they must plan, organize, and revise their material in order to develop an effec- tive speech. This book will help you understand the basics of effective public speaking and guide you through the process of creating your own presentations. We’ll begin by discussing the ways in which public speaking is relevant to you and can benefit you in your career, education, and personal life. In a world where people are bombarded with messages through television, social media, and the Internet, one of the first questions you may ask is, “Do people still give speeches?” Well, type the words “public speaking” into Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com, and you will find more than two thousand books with the words “public speaking” in the title. Most of these and other books related to public speaking are not college textbooks. In fact, many books written about public speaking are intended for very specific audiences: A Handbook of Public Speaking for Scientists and Engineers (by Peter Kenny), Excuse Me! Let Me Speak!: A Young Person’s Guide to Public Speaking (by Michelle J. Dyett-Welcome), Profes- sionally Speaking: Public Speaking for Health Professionals (by Frank De Piano and Arnold Melnick), and Speaking Effectively: A Guide for Air Force Speakers (by John A. Kline). Although these different books address specific issues related to nurses, engineers, or air force officers, the content is basically the Stand up, Speak out: The Practice and Ethics of Public Speaking 2 same. If you search for “public speaking” in an online academic database, you’ll find numerous articles on public speaking in business magazines (e.g., BusinessWeek, Nonprofit World) and academic journals (e.g., Harvard Business Review, Journal of Business Communication). There is so much information available about public speaking because it continues to be relevant even with the growth of technologi- cal means of communication. As author and speaker Scott Berkun writes in his blog, “For all our tech, we’re still very fond of the most low tech thing there is: a monologue” (Berkun, 2009). People con- tinue to spend millions of dollars every year to listen to professional speakers. For example, attendees of the 2010 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference, which invites speakers from around the world to share their ideas in short, eighteen-minute presentations, paid six thousand dollars per person to listen to fifty speeches over a four-day period. Technology can also help public speakers reach audiences that were not possible to reach in the past. Millions of people heard about and then watched Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture” online. In this capti- vating speech, Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University professor who retired at age forty-six after developing inoperable tumors, delivered his last lecture to the students, faculty, and staff. This inspiring speech was turned into a DVD and a best-selling book that was eventually published in more than thirty- five languages (Carnegie Mellon University, 2011). We realize that you may not be invited to TED to give the speech of your life or create a speech so inspirational that it touches the lives of millions via YouTube; however, all of us will find ourselves in situations where we will be asked to give a speech, make a presentation, or just deliver a few words. In this chapter, we will first address why public speaking is important, and then we will discuss models that illustrate the process of public speaking itself. References Berkun, S. (2009, March 4).

  • Not the Only Word
    REVIEWS Not the Only Word Kenneally, Christine. 2007. The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language. New York: Penguin Books. By Lyle Jenkins Christine Kenneally’s The First Word is a review of work in the area of language evolution intended as an introductory overview for the general reader and, as such, is a valuable resource for pointers to work in progress on a wide range of evolutionary topics; these include primate calls, birdsong, categorical perception, gene research, computer simulation studies, to name a few. This is the subject of the second and third parts of the book. These parts contain the most valuable information on language evolution research. However, the first part of the book is devoted to interviews with Noam Chomsky, Sue Savage–Rumbaugh, Stephen Pinker and Paul Bloom, and Philip Lieberman. Here the stage is set for a kind of ‘linguistics wars’ on language evolution, with Chomsky on one side of a ‘debate’ and just about everybody else on the other side. This is the least convincing part of the book, as we will see. According to Kenneally, the study of the evolution of language can be divided into several phases — one starting in 1866, when “the Société de Linguistique of Paris declared a moratorium on the topic” (p.7), and another phase when “the official ban developed fairly seamlessly into a virtual ban” (p.79) which was maintained, it is claimed, until the publication of a paper by Pinker and Bloom around 1990 (but see below). The “virtual ban” on the study of evolution of language seems to be ascribed by Kenneally almost solely to Chomsky.

Despite more than 75 years of separation from the Holocaust, AMerican readers are still fascinated with the subject. In her book A Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction, Ruth Franklin mentions the fear of “Holocaust fatigue” that was discussed in 1980s and 1990s AMerican media, by which she meant the worry that AMericans had heard too about the Holocaust and could not take any more (222). This, Franklin feared, would lead to insensitivity from the general public, even in the face of a massive tragedy such as the Holocaust. After all, in his 1994 book Holocaust Representation: Art within the Limits of History and Ethics, Berel Lang estiMates Holocaust writing to include “tens of thousands” texts, spanning fiction, draMa, MeMoir, poetry, history monographs, and more (35).

  • Introduction One Cannot and Must Not Try to Erase the Past Merely Because It Does Not Fit the Present
    From THE INVISIBLE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE by Christine Kenneally. Reprinted by arrangement with Viking, a member of Penguin Group (USA) LLC, A Penguin Random House Company. Copyright © Christine Kenneally, 2014. Introduction One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present. —Midnight Oil We follow in the steps of our ancestry, and that cannot be broken. — Golda Meir here’s a moment somewhere between the North Pole Tand the South when I look out my window and see the top of the Himalayas. At first the shapes are clouds, but then they resolve into immense snow- covered crags, perfectly still in the cumulus sea. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen them before; I am always surprised. They are proof that I am somewhere very high and very strange. At thirty thousand feet light floods the plane. Ahead the night drapes across the earth. We barrel toward the darkness, and then we tunnel quickly through it. In a few hours, when we land, it will be morning. I call my boyfriend’s attention to the window. “CB! Look!” He won- ders if anyone is over there on the mountains. Perhaps there are a few souls right on the tip. But if so, it’s just us and them and all the other long-distance flying containers up here. We are tracing the outer edge of the human envelope. Below, six billion people inhale. Above, there’s nothing to breathe. It’s at about this point, when I am too tired to read, I have consumed too much wine, and all I can do is stare, that the human condition starts to get to me.

  • Appendix: a Brief Review of Scholarship
    Appendix: A Brief Review of Scholarship The main subjects of the preceding pages—Donne’s Songs and Sonnets , the mechanisms and repercussions of evolution, the fields of Biology and Cognition it led to, and an allied science of Love—are not always easy to understand. I have tried to be comprehensible and to share my contagious interests; my success can only be judged by my readers. Fortunately for all of us, though, some admirably lucid com- mentators have turned their attentions to explaining Donne, Darwin, and desire, and this guide is presented with the aim of clearing up confusions and prompting further inquiry (full citations are found in the Works Cited.) There are extensive—better said, excessive —bodies of scholarship on every minute subtopic touched on here, enough to make the most diehard Holmesian investigator or grad student despair. Mountains of material have been published on, well, everything, down to gold and alchemy, gossip, particular metaphorical schema such as Donne’s compasses, and so forth. No claims for systematic inclusiveness are advanced here. More specifically, let me note that the previous chap- ters have (relatively) few citations to the history of science, to overhasty first-generation efforts at sociobiological literary criticism, and to the masses of twentieth-century work on Donne’s poems, though many of those pieces are topnotch and sometimes stand, at one remove, behind interpretations that are generally accepted today. Donne criticism may be said to have reached its full-blown matu- rity, and now occupies several shelves in most well-stocked university libraries. To boil it down to a single paragraph: the two most influen- tial opponents of Metaphysical verse were John Dryden and Samuel Johnson.
