Le Quatrième.

A feeling that is hard to describe in words is love. True love is something that isn't found by everyone, only those lucky enough. People throw around the word love loosely and forget that it is an actual feeling. According to the dictionary love is "A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person." although this may be an accurate definition it lacks the true feeling behind the word. Love is something that bonds people in trust and dependence. Love is one of the easiest nonverbal forms of communication to spot. One way to spot this feeling is seeing a couple holding hands. Another way to show the feeling of love is to have a conversation with the signifcant other. Not just a regular conversation, but a deep and meaningful one that passer bys can readily see in the facial expressions and eyes that the meaning behind the conversation is love. A final way to nonverbally express love is to do something nice for a person. You don't have to be in love with someone or even know the person that you would be doing something nice for. Something like holding the door or helping a person with something they're struggling with shows that you have a love for all people and are caring enough to spread the love.
Whoever it is that holds the power to control information hold the power to control whatever they are holing power over. A prime example of this is Hitler's Germany. Adolf strolled into Germany with strong convictions and an even stronger speaking ability. Soon he was given the power to control what information was given to the German society. With this power he used more propaganda than fact to control his society. We all know how the rest of the story goes after he had Germany on his side...
Speakers need to be aware of this power because all over the world people are taking advantage of the fact that people are more interested in appearance and a strong voice, and not listening to the words that the person is speaking. It applies to us because we need to be able to decide for ourself if the person is someone worth giving this power to.

Do you think that strong speakers can influence the way that an entire country thinks?

ps. I just thought it was funny that the first part of my blog was about love, and the second half was about Hitler. hahaha.
