SPEAKER STANCE refers to the position a speaker takes on a specific issue, and it encapsulates their beliefs, emotions, and intentions regarding a topic.
Identifying this stance helps the audiences comprehend whether the speaker is in alignment with or against the presented ideas.
Grasping a speaker's perspective allows listeners to critically analyze the message, identify potential biases, and understand the motivations behind their arguments. This skill helps in making informed judgments rather than accepting information at face value.
