Episode 5 – “Why Be an Orator?” Part II
Mr. Bianchet and Mr. Mullins continue explaining the “why” of becoming an orator, and what are the many benefits. One can see very quickly that the benefit cost ratio of time spent learning to think and speak far out weigh other educational approaches that are solely focused on specified knowledge or future employment. This is why, here at Veritas, we are training the students to be “thinkers and communicators,” not merely social participators. There is no one area of life wherein these oratory skills are not the best outcome of education. Even in the arena of self, both in understanding and personal dialogue, just knowing how to formulate ideas and construct them into viable and comprehendible thoughts will be a boon to our own self-talk. It will allow us to create and sustain optimal personal aims and defensible worldviews leading us into intellectual, spiritual, and physical harvest or flourishing.
