*2). The Greeks believed that to be an orator, an individual had to be morally good. Comment on whether you agree or disagree. What, if any, is the connection between goodness, truth, and public communication?
In my opinion, I do not believe that an individual has to be morally good in order to be an orator. The reason for this is because being morally good has no correlation with being a public speaker. In order to give a good speech does not mean that you need to live life a life with good practices and such. We all make our own decisions and another thing that I have learned is that we all have different morals. One person may think that what I’m doing is morally incorrect, but another person may think the complete opposite. So all in all, my opinion is that we do not need to be morally good in order to be an orator because of the different beliefs that we have lead us into speaking in a way that expresses our own views and outlooks in life.
I do not think that there is any connection between goodness, truth, and public communication because we form our own opinions and talent when speaking to the public. Just as what I had commented on a fellow classmate’s blog, goodness is not always truth and when communicating to the public, we are individuals who speak from our own minds and hearts. We listen to the media when formulating ideas because the media has more experience than we do in certain areas and they have also acquired skills needed in order to formulate a good speech in order to become an orator.
