QQC #2
Quote: "He defines rhetoric as the 'art of speaking well', punning on 'well' to mean both effectively and virtuously. Oratory that does not move its hearers toward the good is not 'rhetoric,' by Quintilian's definition."
Question: Applying this definition to today's society, do you think we use our rhetorical platforms in effort to "speak well" both effectively and virtuously? I mean sure times have changed, but from the Twitter and Instagram posts made daily, what does our society idealize rhetorical and how do we translate that through our means of communication?
