COM 321 Communication Theory
Who would be a contemporary speaker, perhaps in the last 50 or so years, anywhere in the world you admire—at least for his/her effectiveness as a speaker? What was it about that speaker that made his or her communication memorable?

What qualifications do you believe a communicator needs to be considered effective today? Explain.
