.: OPINION ABOUT PUBLIC SPEAKING COURSE WILL HELP IN OUR FUTURE :.

Public speaking is one of the most under rated skills learned in school, yet is one of the most valuable. The way you communicate shows a lot about you, and can influence other's opinions of you. In every profession communication in some way is used and important. Good communication skills, no matter what you plan to do in life, will help you out greatly and improve your chances against a harsh job market. I am majoring in Business Management and communication is one of the biggest parts of business , yet communication is hardly ever taught in business classes for my major.

I think that a communications class like public speaking, for example, should be not just for a college class, but taught in high school and middle school as well. I believe several classes would allow anyone to become an expert speaking. The only way to fully learn public speaking is to get up in front of people and talk to them. One cannot learn public speaking from a book. One's career, school life, and even socializing are affected by communication.

In a business, communication is the most important ingredient. Working at a corporation at a higher level, you deal with hundreds of important emails, meetings, phone calls, and other forms of communicating with your co-workers.

I like communicating with other people, and much of my life consists of me with my friends. Communicating with people is a good way to become social and comfortable around people. Public speaking is my least favorite part of communicating but I feel if I go into business, it will be one of the most important things to learn. If I have to give a big speech, it could be the first time several upper management bosses really hear what I have to say, and if I give a poor speech and look frightened, it could make them think I am incompetent and cannot communicate. Out of all my schooling, I have never been required, or even had an option to take a public speaking class until I came to college. I have heard friends complain about having to take the class, but I figure that the class will help out greatly in my career, especially if I go into business. I think that speech should be introduced into high schools, and even middle schools, so that by the time most children get to college, they will already be good public speakers.

This will benefit everyone in the job world, and will also just make everyday conversations better if everyone could communicate well. The reason to establish younger children taking public speaking is that public speaking is different than most subjects, it is not like math, where you can learn from a book, the only way to learn public speaking is by standing in front of a group of people and talking to them. Also, enhanced communication skills would increase your confidence and perhaps even drive to succeed. Public Speaking and communication courses are often underrated by students and others for their importance to one as a student, and in the future, as a worker.

The class gives you fundamental skills that not only benefit you in the real world, but benefit you even when you are just hanging out with friends. I realize how important communication is and hope I can improve on my public speaking in this class.
