Right from the start, there have been nations, and nations have governments. A government is usually elected by the people, and at different times, the elects need help to address the nation. This is what prompts politicians to say, ‘Write me a speech,' which will eventually be used to deliver a message to a large group of people. When a speech is being delivered, there are several factors that are considered. To write and deliver a message to the people is no easy job.

• The very first is the outfit and dressing of the speaker. The second is the reputation and integrity of the speaker addressing the people. The third is the manner in which the speech is structured and the words used in conveying the message. Other things that need to be concentrated on by the speaker during a speech include gesticulation and aural channels.

• Speeches have been known to influence the public. A simple wrong sentence can have a negative effect on the citizens of a country and can spark reactions, riots and even mass protests. Speeches have been known to break down diplomacy between countries and start wars. Since the importance of a speech cannot be emphasized enough, it practically means a speech needs to be analyzed and reviewed with utmost care.

Question : Why Politicians Need to Order Speeches

• Political figures usually have a whole lot to do when they're in power. For instance, presidents of countries have to manage the implementation of the law by installing and taking off different officers. They also have to append their signatures on laws and bills that need to be passed into the constitution. A president's main obligation is to ensure the smooth running and stability of the government and to make sure all the laws in the constitution are adhered to.

• The president also has to supervise the affairs pertaining to foreign policy and make treaties that favor the nation in terms of trade and commerce, appoint ambassadors to other countries and also monitor the affairs of policies affecting American businesses, the economy and its citizens. A cabinet of the president's choice is appointed to oversee various key sectors of government operations.

• Because of these numerous tasks mentioned above that have to be done by presidents, most of them hardly have any time to handle anything else. This also includes not being able to make the time for carefully proofreading the content and structure of the numerous speeches they have to give to the public. Keeping in mind the weighty effects of a speech, most presidents have to hire a writer or writers to handle that aspect for them.

• Most people miss the point of political figures ordering speeches. Several individuals have the idea that the ghostwriter totally controls everything about the speech giving it the semblance of speechwriters actually controlling the emotions of the public. They forget that the content and structure make up half of the effect of the speech and the charisma, appearance and non-verbal approach of the speaker conveying the message makes up the other half.

• Also, the main idea behind a speech is from the politicians themselves. If politicians had to write and review their own speeches themselves, only a great and professional writer would become an officer in the government. In fact, it would be declared that the most important benchmark to become a politician is to possess the ability to mesmerize the public. Many great politicians have been known not to possess the ability to write great speeches. Even Donald Trump has a speechwriter for this particular purpose. Besides by giving speechwriters pay, the government contributes to the nation's gross domestic product in a small way, effectively reducing unemployment.
