I really do not know when the custom began, but it has become a yardstick now to have someone bounteous write for you your presentation. I first learnt of this happening when I heard the term ' speech - writers ' used in relation to those people who produce speeches for political leaders. Top officials of both public and private sector organizations regularly keep a side of speech - writers. When I first knew about this way of receipt speeches by our leaders my first reaction was that they were not honest really in what they speak after all. We hear such fine speeches unreal these days that arouse submerged emotions, but they were somebody besides ' s thoughts and convictions. I observe this is defective. If you conceive it, yak it yourself; jaw it the best way you can, but say it in your own special way. To me, back in the days, I felt it was dishonest of someone to ask another to say for him what he ought to say. I bet that is how the phrase ' politically correct ' came about. People seem to want to hear you say what they want to hear, whether you believe it or not, they care less! Well, I know I can ' t change the world, but since everyone has accepted our leaders lying to us, it is no surprise that no one eventually gets to hold them to what they have said. How could anyone, when the speakers themselves are not in touch with the contents of their speech. Someone made them say it, and most of us know it; so who would blame them for not doing what they said! Writing and speech - making seem to have gone on to take the form described above in our time. If you need anything saying these days and you have the cash, you ' d always find someone ready and willing to do it for you. Image makers push out propaganda to make things seem the way they are not. So now people craft up materials and all you need to do is append your name to them. So much for our literary contents these days. With the existence of virtual assistants some even piece - up a book in no time and publish and have it up for sale as their product without making any input whatsoever. Even when they feel the need to proof - read, they also hire another virtual assistant. What a day we live in! And why not, even some women would have others carry their pregnancies for them these days! The world has become so loose, we ask others to do for us the most personal of services. Even when a husband mistakenly forgets that today is his wedding anniversary he asks someone in his office to go buy a gift for his wife. Anything that person feels is adequate for the occasion does it! With writing, especially on - line writing, you see contents being re - cycled all over using the software everyone knows exist today. Content managers, such as article directories, should not be so hard when they discover that what someone has presented to them as an original has actually been making the rounds for a while. Is it too late to stop the damage? To have writers write their inspiration and speakers speak from the depth of their hearts? The art of writing and speaking has been corrupted and is in strong danger of being lost; especially with the ease that the internet offers. Will there be something worth bequeathing to the next generation when it ' s done. Shakespeare, nor Julius Caesar did not get to be this way. It is really up to us, writers and publishers and speakers, what we make of today.
