Making a first appearance here at the Video Countdown to CHRISTmas is the Opera Company of Philadelphia “Hallelujah!” Random Act of Culture!
On Saturday, October 30, 2010, the Opera Company of Philadelphia brought together over 650 choristers from 28 participating organizations to perform one of the Knight Foundation’s “Random Acts of Culture” at Macy’s in Center City Philadelphia. Accompanied by the Wanamaker Organ – the world’s largest pipe organ – the OCP Chorus and throngs of singers from the community infiltrated the store as shoppers, and burst into a pop-up rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah” at 12 noon, to the delight of surprised shoppers. This event is one of 1,000 “Random Acts of Culture”

If you had a chance to read my post from Monday, The Case for Wrinkles, you have seen how I speak with conviction on that subject. lol I’m an authority now. ROFL In this YouTube video, Taylor Mali (former school teacher turned comedian) talks about how we should always speak with conviction and authority. Check it out.
Did you catch the word he makes up in the middle? How do you spell that? Neaauuu? lol
I had been debating whether or not to write an article on the word debate because the meaning of debate is debatable. I didn’t want to get into a debate about it, but you can debate the issue on many levels so I think I will.
Debate is quite a versatile word that can be used as a verb or a noun. Merriam Webster defines debate as “the formal discussion of a motion before a deliberative body according to the rules of parliamentary procedure” and “a regulated discussion of a proposition between two matched sides.” It further defines it:
* to contend in words
* to discuss a question by considering opposed arguments
* to argue about <the subject was hotly debated>
* to engage (an opponent) in debate
* to turn over in one’s mind <he’s still debating what to do>
* a contention by words or argument.
So debate can mean anything from an orchestrated and heavily regulated event where two sides formally discuss a particular political issue to a slight disagreement. The true meaning lies in the context of the communication.
I’m working on a series of studies coming out in the next few weeks that discuss debate as it is used in various settings. Say What You Mean: Debating the Issues is my latest release talking about how to discuss political issues in a more familiar and conversational environment. I’m currently working on Say What You Mean: Avoiding, Reducing and Resolving Conflicts which is due to be in editing soon. And before January, I have plans to finally release my formal debate study. I’ll be sharing more about them in the coming months.
To give you a fun look at formal debate, I have included for your giggling pleasure a video clip from Welcome Back Kotter where the Sweathogs are entered in a formal debate. My book will be a bit more traditional in its approach.
I pray you had a blessed Thanksgiving this year. Today is Friday Funnies on Communication FUNdamentals so to celebrate more Thanksgiving, I have these two Thanksgiving quotes and a poem for your giggling pleasure.
“Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” ~Erma Bombeck
“An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.” ~Irv Kupcinet
“May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!”
~Anonymous
Have a blessed weekend. See you Monday!
