Public Speaking
Public speaking is the act of speaking to an audience whether it is in traditional formatting such as face-to-face or pre-recorded, virtual, etc. There are various forms of public speaking, and two examples are persuasive and informative public speaking (Harris, 2017).
Persuasive Public Speaking
Persuasive public speaking is the act of arranging the speech in a way to convince or motivate the audience to accept and follow the speaker’s point of view. This form of public speaking can positively impact the ability to effectively disseminate information regarding public health by providing credible facts backed by evidence that is meant to improve the wellbeing and health of the population. For example, a court debate between two lawyers arguing over whether a pedophile should be released back into society after serving their time. For example, not releasing this individual could prevent harm to the public health of younger children. However, the negative effect of persuasive public speaking is convincing others to accept your wrong point of view, which can be detrimental to the public’s health. For example, releasing this individual could cause harm to the public health of the younger population (Harris, 2017).
Informative Public Speaking
Informative public speaking is the act of informing or educating the public on a topic that the speaker is well versed in and has credible facts to demonstrate the effectiveness of the information. This form of public speaking can positively impact the ability to effectively disseminate information regarding public health by providing credible facts backed by evidence that is meant to improve the well-being and health of the population. For example, having a small gathering with middle schoolers with facts about the effects of unhealthy eating resulting in diabetes and obesity and the detrimental effect it causes on the body like blindness, amputations, heart attack, and death. However, the negative effect of persuasive public speaking is convincing others to accept your wrong point of view, which can be detrimental to the public’s health. For example, having the previous president of the United States of America told his citizens that Covid-19 is not real, which prompt his followers to believe him and not take precautionary actions to protect their wellbeing (Harris, 2017).
