Analysis Of ' The Ted Talk About Informing People That Looks Aren 't Everything And We '

The authors in “Ivan Coyote Ted Talk” and “Black Faces in White Spaces” discuss current, significant issues and establish their ethos in particularly similar ways. During the Ted Talk, Ivan Coyote proposed his reasonings as to why gender-neutral bathrooms are needed in today’s society through personal experiences and experiences of others. Miatta Williams also renders her personal growth experiences to reveal that prejudice is prevalent in all parts of America and that it should be taken seriously.

She used a stern yet eye opening tone throughout the whole speech. The was Quindlen worded siren line made it very apparent that she is trying to spark change. She was stern to get the point across and make people believe she knows what she is talking about and not some random person who doesn't know what they are talking about. The way she described the reason for change was very unique because everyone is always talking about change yet never had an solid ideas on how to do it. Quindlen did, she defined the issue then came up with a solution, I believe that this a big first step in her

A strategy that she uses is asking questions. She states “What would the legal effects of the equal rights amendment really be? The equal rights amendment would govern only the relationship between the state and its citizens” this gives you a reason to see that she knows what she’s talking about. By asking questions she gets the people thinking and answering them provides the audience with of what will happen if they did this. Meanwhile it gives a reason for the people to understand why she

She states many of her opinions on how the press should stop telling and spreading false events and ideas in the newspaper. When given the chance she tells her audience journalist about how the American press about her feels and how she feels challenged by them. Overall, the beginning of her speech tells the audience how she is going to state information and how they should listen to

lifestyle or have the best genetics possible to living to be a hundred years old. Buettner states

Her voice and how she talks helps portray her confidence and passion she has on this topic. As well as informing everyone with new information and knowledge that they may not have gotten otherwise.

Knowing this, she takes her experience and uses it to write this piece and uses it to spread her message and her feelings toward the topic.

In the beginning of the book, that she explained her experience and life, which she was struggling because she showed her emotions

Interesting. She started off by showing a picture of a baby, and asking what would most people say is going on in the babies’ head. She said thirty years ago that most people would say not very much but after many years of research developmental psychologist have learned that babies are capable of thinking very complexly and can even think like some of the most brilliant scientist in the world. The first sort of experiment they did was with fifteen-month-old babies and they would give them broccoli or gold fish crackers. They would say yum about the broccoli and then ask the baby to hand them whichever one they wanted and they would hand the one the person said they liked. They did the same test when they are three months older and the babies would hand them the crackers, because everyone likes crackers more than vegetables. The fact that they could learn so much in a short period of time begs the question how can they learn so much?

From the beginning she pulls the readers attention, she uses a metaphor “Eventually being perfect day after day, year after year, became like always carrying a backpack filled with bricks on my back”(Quindlen, 296). This metaphor is the most significant part of her speech as she continues to refer to this metaphor throughout the speech. She uses this for the purpose of appealing to the audience in a meaningful, and personal way, creating a connection between her and the audience as most students, not only college students, can probably relate to the feeling of being heavily put down by something , not necessarily what she is talking about. Her use of pathos is what makes the speech so appealing and interesting, because she makes it so relatable and easy to understand.

From a communication and speech analysis stand point Ms. Alexander kept her self poised, keep her tone of voice smooth and inflecting when she needed to drive certain points home. She kept the audience engaged by moving around telling personal anecdotes that related to her topic to allow the persuasiveness of her speech to drive home about the problem of the criminal justice system and race as a whole. Her first point that really captivates and hooks you in within a matter of minutes of listening to the speech is when she says, “ People of color are the main ones incarcerated…Put in cages and treated worse than animals.” Right their she captivates and audience that otherwise believe she's crazy talking about race in the criminal justice system. Ms. Alexander managed to captivate and all WHITE audience on a topic that most had already made up there minds on. Her speech was effective in that all statistics about her topic she

This opening drew me in because I wanted to know what she meant by this statement. The tone

Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk on body language was incredibly inspiring and empowering. While watching the video, I realized that I not only do I observe these power and powerless non-verbal cues every day, I display them too. The outline of her experiment which demonstrated that non-verbal cues change how people feel about themselves, not just how other people think and feel about us, followed by her premise of faking it until you make it was especially compelling. However, taking this one step further and ending the presentation on such a positive note of encouraging others to ‘fake it until you become it,' is what resonated with me the most. I am looking forward to experimenting with the techniques that she covered in her speech.

During the introduction she uses short direct sentences as to keep her audience engaged. Then she begins to tell us personal stories about the books she read as a child and how she started to write stories at a young age. She also makes some jokes in paragraph two such as, ‘All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out,’ she makes these jokes to keep the audience entertained throughout her speech. In paragraph three she is still introducing the speech but in paragraph four she

she made was rousing to anyone that was perhaps overhearing or listening to the conversation. It upheld all the characteristics for a good philosophical conversation. They include various aspects of diversity, thought, support and liberalism.
