Words and language control the world and how people see it. Our worldview's and every relationship we have is shaped by language and communication with others. Humans learn at a young age that we should treat people the way we want to be treated and to treat people with kindness. Using positive words and phrases can completely change the way someone may interpret the way you speak, for the better. Not only while positivity make people listen to you better, it also has the ability to persuade people when giving a persuasive speech and can also inform them when trying to teach your audience about a specific topic.
Not only do you want to be positive to make your audience listen, you also want to use words and phrases that create a clear image in your audience's mind about your topic. You do not want to make a part of your audience feel isolated or left out, so be aware of your audience as always and make last minute quick changes if needed. You also want to make sure that the language used is ethical and accurate to your audience. Being ethical means that you have good views and beliefs, and it is okay if your ethics are different from someone in your audience's, as long as you respect their beliefs and do not make them feel attacked or make them defensive. You do not want to only be ethical, but also credible and reliable. You should be able to cite your source wherever you get your information from within your speech by saying, "according to ...". If you use reliable and well-known sources that are not bias, then your audience will trust your words when listening to your speech.
I think much of the conversations in the public eye today should read your blog and note that people should use positive language. We are getting a very good example of what it is like when people do the opposite, and use words to hurt others rather than build them up, or even offer any kind of support at all!
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you said it, I believe that Communicating clearly and positive in life is essential. Many of our daily problems arise due to lack of positivism, we must stop to think what we want to say, choose the words that best express it, communicate it, and it is appropriate to make sure that our interlocutor has understood the message perfectly.
