Most of your presentations will be given in peaceful situations, but should ever find yourself in touchy or even hostile situations never give in to high pressure reactions when responding to others -- like a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman recently did in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Responding to a volatile demonstration by First Nations people hostile to exploring for oil in their Province through the use of fracking, injecting a lethal chemical cocktail into the ground. search for oil in underground shale, he was provoked into shouting something like, The ground belongs to the government not....natives."
The response, through social media, brought instant, widespread condemnations for racial slurs with calls for his firing. There is just no acceptable excuse for such slurs in this day and age so never make such a mistake should find yourself in any situation like this.
