 Deborah Tannen’s book The Argument Culture
explains individuals tend to approach people and
situations with a “me against you” attitude
 Begin with the idea that the best way to discuss any
topic is by portraying it through opposing positions,
rallying to one side of the cause and attacking the
other.
 Tannen does assert there are times when strong
opposition and verbal attacks are necessary, however
public speaking is just as much a public dialogue
 The ethical and civil exchange of ideas and opinions
among communities about topics that affect the public
 Offer perspectives, share facts, raise questions and
engage others publicly in stimulating discussion
 Makes us active and ethical citizens who participate in
our nation’s democratic process and consider the needs
of others in our communities as well as our own needs
 To be an ethical public speaker is to consider the moral
impact of your ideas and arguments on others when you
enter the public dialogue
 Make a list of 5 topics you might use for a speech in
this class. How does each topic contribute to the
public dialogue? How might you discuss each of
these topics in a civil, ethical way?
 We spend 70-80% of our day listening to others
communicate
 Intrapersonal communication: internal dialogue
 Interpersonal communication
 Group communication
 Mass communication

 Public speaking creates community
 Public speaking is audience centered

audience
