Barbara Jordan was a keynote speaker for the Democratic National Convention in 1976. She mentioned that about 144 years ago that the members of the Democratic Party first met in convention to select a presidential candidate; since then, the democrats have continued to meet once every four years and nominate a presidential candidate. The convention is a continuation of that tradition; but, there is one thing that is something different that night – Barbara Jordan was the keynote speaker. In 1832, no one would have asked Barbara Jordan to deliver the speech, especially if it was a woman. She didn’t want to spend during her speech – having the time to praise the accomplishments of the Democratic and attacking the Republicans – and she didn’t

Anna Quindlen delivers at speech at the Mount Holyoke college, here she expresses her opinion on life and the adversities that she went through during her college years. In her speech she uses a casual tone for instance her use of simples sentences like “Being perfect was hard work, and the hell of it was, the rules of it changed” (Quindlen, 296). Throughout her whole speech she was being very casual and you could see that it was meant for young adults as she gave advice like “ Instead I’d like you to give up Give the backpacks”(Quindlen, 299). Furthermore her speech is arranged so it is very much like an anecdote, and in this anecdote she uses devices like pathos and ethos to appeal to her audience in order to bond and give a meaning

The world of technology is an ever growing field in which thousands of people work together to advance the human race and share their knowledge in order to inform people across the globe. It is vital that innovators communicate with the public in order for their ideas to gain popularity and so the audience is aware of all aspects of the technology, good and bad. Without the appropriate communicative skills, the technology remains underappreciated, underfunded, and unchecked. Jennifer Kahn, a speaker at Ted Talk, gave a speech and attempted to use these methods in order to clearly convey to her audience her message about gene drives while keeping the audience engaged in her topic. Kahn employed Aristotle’s artistic proof by putting to use ethos,

Ellen DeGeneres, a well known celebrity, was invited to give Tulane University’s commencement speech on May 11, 2009. Since she is known for being a comedian, DeGeneres included comedy in her speech. In addition, she chose to insert heartfelt stories within her speech. Her speech was wonderfully thought out and it seemed that she connected with her entire audience. She made jokes towards the professors, the students, and even parents, which in the end made her truly relatable to everyone, even if she is a celebrity. In her speech, you as the reader can see that she included pathos through the stories she told, and a little ethos which showed what kind of person she was and who she has become. However, logos was not very prevalent within

At age 25, Symone Sanders was the youngest American who served as national press secretary for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, during the Bernie Sanders Presidential campaign in 2016. Symone Sanders has been featured on Fox News, MSNBC, NBC and CNN as a Political Commentator. I was very lucky to listen to her speech last Wednesday as she lectured NCCU students about how Black History Month came about.

The Wall Street Journal recently published an article written by Sue Shellenbarger which broke down nonverbal communication and it’s affect in the business world. Shellenbarger focused on “mirroring” and how one can effectively mirror whom he/she is speaking to in order to close a deal or build stronger relationships. Some of the do’s of mirroring include: do build a connection first rather than mirroring a stranger; do try and match the other person’s vocal tone and style; do start with nodding and tilting your head; and do move on to mirroring gestures but be genuine otherwise it will hurt the relationship. Shellenbarger also listed some of the don’ts such as: don’t try to fake your interest; don’t mirror negative body language such as crossing

The 2016 Presidential race has yet to disappoint. With a multitude of candidates all with differing opinions, the race has stayed in the news headlines day in and day out for the past few months. Donald Trump, an entrepreneur from New York, has seemed to dominate the spotlight far more than any of his competitors. Whenever Trump is at a rally campaigning or speaking during a debate, he comes off as a fairly confident person. However, the way that he nonverbally communicates tells a different story. Based off of information from Joe Navarro’s novel, What Every BODY Is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-reading People, and the Republican Debate on January 14th, Trump displays roughly the same amount of nervous communicators as he does confident communicators. During the debate, Trump did nonverbal

Throughout history and having coalesced to the present, feminism has begun to crescendo as a movement for social, political, and economic equality of both sexes. Acting as an ambassador and an embodiment of an agent of change, Emma Watson and her speech can be seen as a catalyst against gender inequality. Her speech is a buttress to the feminism movement as it utilizes factual information to corroborate Watson’s credibility, which then permeates to the sentiment of listeners. Through her delivery and tone burgeoning with passion, an amalgamation of the paradigm between speaker and the audience is seen being masterfully cultivated. The fact that this audience is the United Nation's committee, Emma Watson can be seen as a global ambassador for female rights. Through Watson's virulent stance against gender stereotypes, inequality, and bias, the feminism proclamation is guaranteed to not fall on deaf ears.

Altogether, the discussion was well structured and it started with involvement from the large crowd. Cuddy asks how they are sitting in their seats during the moment. “We’re fascinated with body language, and we’re particularly interested in other people’s body language” (Cuddy). In short, we have judgements of other people’s nonverbal communication. When she said body language is communication and people can judge for it, I do agree that it is communication to an extent, and not everyone notices body language. For example, many children and teens may not care to acknowledge, unless it was over exaggerated and distracting. She gave two great examples to support her reasoning from research studies: “Nalini Ambady, a researcher at Tufts University, shows that when

The exploration of inequalities of women in the United Nation Conference occurred September 5,1995 in Beijing, China.

After watching Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk: "Your body language may shape who you are", I liked how she made a clear distinction between "when we make judgments of other people" and "when we make judgments of ourselves". When we make judgments of other people, we tend to judge people by dissecting and analyzing their body language (nonverbal behavior). Yet, Cuddy mentioned that our body language also influences our behaviors/attitudes and decision-making skills. At the 3:21 mark, Cuddy states "So when we think of nonverbals, we think of how we judge others, how they judge us and what the outcomes are. We tend to forget, though, the other audience that's influenced by our nonverbals, and that's ourselves. We are also influenced

Amy Cuddy gives speech on power poses and how important it is for you to feel powerful in a work environment. Amy believes that you can be judged by your interactions. She says “Nonverbal are influenced by our thoughts and feelings” and reflects it with non verbal expressions. A great example she used was how they express nonverbal in the animal kingdom, monkeys open up and create space. She believes verbal expressions helps you feel powerful during the moment. When we feel powerless we make ourselves look small. When you come in to a room you should look like your collapsing. Amy Cuddy says “Do our nonverbal govern how we think and feel about ourselves? “she gives an example when we are smiling. When we smile its usually because we are happy.

The United States is one of the most influential countries in the world, it helps set the precedent for other countries to follow. Because of the importance of the United States, who the leader of the free world is, matters. Many people have advocated for the candidate that they believe will lead the United States the best, and bring about change that is positive for all. Following her husband's last presidential term, Michelle Obama believed Hillary Clinton to be the best candidate for the presidency and so she advocated for Clinton at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. And although Clinton lost the electoral college and consequently the presidency, she won the popular vote with the help from supporters' speeches like Michelle Obama's. Using many communication skills in her speech, Obama created an effective argument supporting Clinton and her campaign.
