Week 4 Question 3

My favorite part of this week's chapter would have to be the 6 Social Functions of Rhetoric. The public speakers that I remember the most shared all of these qualities and characteristics when they presented. Even former coaches that I used to play for in sports, the ones I remember the most, also had these qualities. For me, one of the most important functions would have to be building community. I say this because when people have concerns or issues, they want to know and feel like they are not the only ones concerned about this. Once you have a presenter that understands and speaks to these issues, then the audience begins developing a sense of "we" instead of just "me" creating a want to be apart of fixing the problem.
