=== Intervention ===
The [[Rhetoric of social intervention model|intervention style of speaking]] is a relatively new method proposed by rhetorical theorist William R. Brown. This style revolves around the theory of [[idealism]], which holds that humans create a symbolic meaning for life and the things around them.<ref name=":13">{{Cite journal |last=Opt |first=Susan K. |date=September 2019 |title="To Intervene: A Transcending and Reorienting Goal for Public Speaking." |journal=Atlantic Journal of Communication |volume=27 |issue=4 |pages=247–259 |doi=10.1080/15456870.2019.1613657 |s2cid=181424112}}</ref> Due to this, the symbolic meaning of everything changes based on the way one communicates. When approaching communication with an intervention style, communication is understood to be responsible for the constant changes in society, behaviors, and how one considers the meaning behind objects, ideologies, and everyday life.<ref name=":13" />

From an interventional perspective, when individuals communicate, they are intervening with what is already a reality and might "shift symbolic reality."<ref name=":13" /> This approach to communication encompasses the possibility or idea that one may be responsible for unexpected outcomes due to what and how one communicates.

This perspective widens the scope of focus from a single speaker who is intervening to a multitude of speakers all communicating and intervening, simultaneously affecting the world around us.<ref name=":13" />
