Quote: "Value is created when rhetors approach audience members as "unrepeatable individuals" and eschew "distancing, depersonalizing, or paternalistic attitudes." As a result, audience members feel their identities are not forced upon or chosen for them by rhetors." (Foss and Griffin, pg.11)
Question: Is it possible to uphold and create value when invitational rhetoric is addressed to a larger audience? How can one be certain that they are using the correct approach to ensure that every individual does not feel like they are being agglomerated with the rest, and stripped of their own persona?
