Speeches have been made ever since
humans began to use language and live in communities. They’re a very ancient
form of communication, and our propensity for making them is almost innate. We
start making speeches to groups of our friends as young children, sometime
before we start school.
·
It came to us naturally and
spontaneously, along with a propensity for listening to a speaker and then
reacting, talking or arguing about what was said.
·
Speeches have a vital function in
education, jurisprudence, politics, government, business, the sciences, the
literary arts, and nearly all of the rituals and ceremonies in which we gather.
·
They’re the vehicle of debate, communal
feeling, knowledge acquisition, and action.
·
They’re what express us to ourselves as
more than individuals who just happen to live near to each other.
