The best speaker i have ever heard i believe is very close with Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez. When i was in middle school i remember learning about Martin Luther King Jr, and I was memorized by his words. It was my first exposure to all the elements and forces related to the racism and prejudice during the time of the Civil Rights Movement. Being a minority in society to be a proactive member of society and spreading cultural competence around the world such as Martin Luther King Jr had done is a major time in history. It is a major time in history because without acknowledging discrimination within the United States change would not even be an option.
Cesar Chavez was also a great leader and spoke with such passion during the Farm Workers Movement. Chavez was the one who inspired thousands and thousands of Mexican, and Mexican Americans to fight for better, equal rights within the Mexican Community. Having family members endure such horrible working environments and discrimination creates a sense gratitude to the passionate speaker.
Both Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King Jr. were very infuencial speakers and leaders to me and to the world. Their determination, passion, and faith within the human race was very powerful to all.
The worst speaker I have ever heard would have to be Paris Hilton. Whenever she speaks I feel as if i have lost a few brain cells. I would not consider her a leader, but she does speak to the world, and is influential because of the media. She is in the media and the news more than Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez combined. She is the worst speaker because she lacks the integrity, passion, and selflessness great leaders have. I believe it is very sad her words are followed more frequently than the greatest speakers throughout history.

I must say, I agree on your worst speaker choice. It is a shame so many people are interested in watching her,listening to her, or even may try to imitate her. However, the media is very influential. If the internet and technology that is available today were around during Martin Luther King Jr.'s time, I'm sure he would have more media coverage than Paris Hilton does.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King will always be known as one of the greatest speakers that ever lived. Ceasar Chavez did so much and was so ahead of his time by uniting the farm workers. He is a legend and will always be known as someone who paved the way for more to come.I couldn’t agree more, Paris Hilton is by far one of the dumbest people alive and to hear her speak is like nails on a chalk board! All of these people are known but only a few can be known with the talent to speak to an audience and captivate them only as a few can.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post, I get the feeling that the best speakers are those with cultural capital flowing behind them. The social constructionist perspective explains how ideology and culture loom in our interactions and communication, and the two speakers you have chosen really strived to shift ideological perspectives. Martin Luther King and Chavez are iconic examples of how communication and public speaking can bring about social change. Their ability to effectively communicate united masses and organized calls to action to help alleviate the suffering of marginalized groups. I appreciate that you chose these two as some of the best speakers because I also find them to be idols of mine. I think one of the most important elements to public speaking is passion for what you are speaking about, and these two men had a magical way of exhibiting their passion through their words and public speeches.
