Georgia Institute of Technology Cultural Awareness in Public Speaking Discussion

 

I need an explanation for this English question to help me study.

Chapter One discusses the historical importance of public speaking leading up to modern times, as well as examines two models of communication. When it comes to success in public speaking, cultural awareness and critical thinking play a role. For this reflection assignment, choose a cause or a current event that you are interested in. It could be anything. Find someone who is a public advocate or ambassador for that cause and explain how they could be utilizing cultural awareness and critical thinking to make a difference with their platform. Feel free to use the internet or other sources, please just be sure to include links at the bottom of the assignment. This reflection should be at least one-two pages.

Here are some questions to help prompt the reflection:

-How is the advocate/ambassador likely getting noticed by others?

-What type of language do you see them use?

-What type of verbal and non-verbal communication do they seem to send?

-What type of feedback do you think they receive?

-Do you think they pay attention to the feedback and that their words are strategizing to push forward the message with their target audience?

-Who seems to be in the audience when they speak?

-Do you think the speaker/ambassador does planning before their events to adapt to their audience?

-Do they ever receive negative feedback? If so, how do they adapt?
