The civic engagement theme is unique in that it envisions public speaking as a vehicle for promoting the common good, while also emphasizing its role in personal advancement and fulfillment.

By using specific examples-of students, of citizens engaged in community affairs, of historic and contemporary public figures-the book teaches the reader how to address substantive issues that impact their communities at local, state, national, and international levels.
