Public speaking initially started with the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle back in the 300s BC. Aristotle discovered that in order to rally the citizens into conformity, one needed to persuade people. This is what he called rhetoric, and it's defined as the capacity to persuade people, and he broke it down into three strategies:

Ethos

Logos

Pathos

Ethos is used when the source is credible and the speaker can show authority over the subject matter(an adminstrator,ploitical leader etc). 

Logos is used when there are facts to support the argument requiring that the audience use logic and deduction to decide on the strengths of the speaker's argument(reports,stats etc).

 pathos is used for emotional appeals to gain audience acceptance.(being warm,calling them associates) .

In more modern times we Explore three types of public speaking in everyday life:

 informative:  Giving out information ,
