Discussion Question #2
I believe that to be an orator you must be morally good. Your words in this role provide guidance an insight for many, and therefore the foundation of your thoughts and insights should be good. However, in public communication, your words can be effective regardless of the goodness in your thoughts. The core of public communication is providing your audience an opportunity to feel connected to words and identify with your stance. The lack of truth, however, in your words can diminish the value of your communication. In regards to public communication, you must have an obvious degree of truth to be truly effective, and although goodness does not have to be present, it provides a more valuable connection to the audience.

Hello Mind of Movement! In what ways do you think an audience would be effected if a speakers was not morally good? Would the audience reject a message? Would they reject the speaker? Do you think our Presidents, current and in the past, are morally good? When the American public finds out about moral indiscretions, how do they react?
