In debate, people pay just as much attention to how you say something than the actual words you use. The following videos show how body language and other nonverbal forms of communication affected world events.
This 1st video shows clips of the 3rd Presidential Debate from the 2008 election. It is widely known in political circles that, following this debate, John McCain had lost the election. Some have assumed that it was due to his poor performance and attitude he displayed in this debate.
These next 2 clips show the reaction from newscasters, political pundits, and the general public to McCain's body language in the debate.
So after watching these videos, ask yourself how you look when presenting in front of a crowd. Do you display confidence, contempt of the opposition, or even a complete lack of caring? Remember, even if you don't know the answer to this question, your audience does.
