A fundamental concern of rhetoric is the adaptation of the message to the audience. Aristotle noted that "People always think well of speeches adapted to, and reflecting, their own character..." However, in our increasingly diverse, multimodal existence, we must think even more deeply about the meaning of adaptation, not just in the classroom, but within our entire professional world.
