What Makes a Good Speaker

Some might agree that in order to be a moral speaker one must live a moral life and have a sinless mind . The Greeks have the idea that in order to be a credible orator, one must have goodness, truth, and only pure ways to be a good speaker and have good public communication.

We can 't determine what is moral in general because everyone comes from different backgrounds, upbringings, families, and teachings. Every culture has a different mindset and approach on the ways they consider what is moral. I have to disagree on this idea, because the content of what is being said and addressed within that speech is what people should decide to agree or disagree, if it is moral or immoral, and if it is worth believing and following. It should not be decided on how that speaker lives their life and what they do or don't do. A good moral orator who does everything good in life does not necessarily mean that his ability to persuade others and captivate their attention on his or her standpoint, will be relevant for that matter. Or on the other hand, the speaker might live a consistent life of bad and immoral things, but have the ability to persuade someone about a specific topic and win them over. However, the fact that the speaker is able to persuade and address a topic should only rely on the speakers' content rather than their personal life.
