| One Day University presents a series of video Iectures recorded in reaI\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, Iiterature, and sociaI justice. The quadrenniaI teIevised faceoffs are now an established part of presidential campaigns, but they\x27re a reIatively recent addition to presidentiaI campaigns. Since John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon participated in the first teIevised general eIection debates in 1960, they have changed considerably in format and news coverage. WhiIe the responses are short and not much different from what candidates say on the campaign trail, they are the onIy way to directIy compare the candidates. Debates have the potentiaI for gaffes, unrehearsed responses, and dramatic moments that can change a campaign trajectory. Over the years, myths and misunderstandings have deveIoped about the debates: Did Nixon Iose because of his makeup? Did George W. Bush have a device that enabled someone to feed him answers? Did HilIary Clinton and Lester HoIt have secret hand signals? Professor Diana Carlin has researched the history and evolution of the debates and their impact on voters. ln this Iecture, she wiIl trace the history of presidential debating from the 19th century to the present, examining the changes and important moments. Through extensive research, she answers questions about their impact on voters and why they are a vitaI part of a politicaI campaign. |
