Greek Orator - Week 2

In order for an individual to be an orator, the Greeks believed they had to be morally good, in which I greatly agree.  An orator is given the benefit of publicly speaking to an audience, in order to come to a "truthful conclusion".  I believe the orator should have the qualities of being morally good because unless he(or she) can be truthful to themselves and others, then they shall possess the skill of persuading the audience into good as well.  If an individual wanted to be an orator, yet had an awful past of mischief and dishonesty, their words and perception of intellect would be not as credible, and even worse fraud and faulty.
The connection between goodness, truth, and public communication all underlies in the hands of the audience and how the audience perceives the speaker.  Public communication should always be honest, bare, and to the point because that is what people want.  The speaker who delivers the speech should have a goodness quality to them.  We wouldn't elect a president or even a police officer for that matter whom once was a prisoner of going against justice.  The audience, (like myself), would only want to elect politicians who are heart-felt, morally good because we believe that the politician would want goodness as well for the people.  Although, the world is not perfect and neither are all individuals, public communication does have it's faults (modernly) recruiting speakers who are not truthful.  Most of this is the media, (usually opposing a politician) who conveys lies to the audience to persuade their decision.  All in all, a speaker must be good (morally) and must only speak the truth to enhance honest communication for the public.
