whether it be the general public, or members of the government. Persuasive speaking can be defined as a style of speaking in which there are four parts to the process: the persuader, the audience, the method in which the speaker uses to speak, and the message that the speaker is trying to enforce. When trying to persuade an audience, a speaker targets the audience's feelings and beliefs, to help change the opinions of the audience. There are different techniques a speaker can use to gain the support of an audience. Some of the major techniques would include demanding the audience to take action, using inclusive language ('we' & 'us') to make the audience and speaker seem as if they are one group, and choosing specific words that have a strong connotative meaning increasing the impact of the message. Asking rhetorical questions, generalizing information (including anecdotes), exaggerating meaning, using metaphors, and applying irony to situations are other methods in which a speaker can enhance the chances of persuading an audience.

A popular example of educational public speaking is TED Talks, where the speaker will inform listeners about various topics, such as science, physics, biology, technology, religion, economics, human society, astronomy, animal studies, psychology, and many others. TED speakers also share their personal experiences with traumatic life events, such as abuse, bullying, grief, assault, suicidal ideation and/or attempts, near death experiences, and mental illness, or use their platform to raise awareness and acceptance for disabilities, facial differences, LGBT rights, children's rights, women's rights, and stigmatized life circumstances. Intervention The intervention style of speaking is a relatively new method proposed by a rhetorical theorist named William R. Brown. This style revolves around the fact that humans create a symbolic meaning for life and the things around them. Due to this, the symbolic meaning of everything changes based on the way one communicates. When approaching communication with an intervention style, communication is understood to be responsible for the constant changes in the society, behaviors, and how one considers the meaning behind objects, ideologies, and every day life. From an interventional perspective, when individuals communicate, they are intervening with what is already reality and might “shift symbolic reality.” This approach to communication also encompasses the possibility or idea that one may be responsible for unexpected outcomes due to what and how one communicates. This perspective also widens
