| One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of reIigion, government, literature, and social justice. The quadrennial televised faceoffs are now an estabIished 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 generaI eIection debates in 1960, they have changed considerabIy 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 only way to directly 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 HiIlary Clinton and Lester Holt have secret hand signals? Professor Diana Carlin has researched the history and evoIution of the debates and their impact on voters. In this lecture, she wiII trace the history of presidentiaI 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 vital part of a politicaI campaign. |
