Summary of morning’s session
• Communication, perception and limitations in understanding& learning
• Good communication takes place when the presenter’s intendedmessage has been internalised by the listener
• Too much information, inhibits learning and understanding• Too much one-way talking could be taxing for the audience• Esoteric Jargon complicates things

§There are statements posted around the room.§Read each statement. If you agree with it, or if you
disagree with it, make a mark with a pen.

§ In the beginning of your “communications” career, then it is most important to focus on the facts of your presentation, getting as much said as possible about your topic, in an accurate and representative way.

§ Ethos: It can be used to gain credibility: "The 1990 consensus reports that fifty percent of all marriages will end in divorce.”
§ Pathos: Awakens a sense of involvement "Turn and look at the person sitting next to you. One of the two of you will get a divorce.”
§ Logos: Present the hard facts "Because one out of every two marriages here in the United States ends in divorce, it is imperative we reform the court system to have a more fair resolve in settlements for both women and men."

§ And they can be blended together:
§ "The 1990 census report has found that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. That means that one out of every two marriages are not successful. It could be yours; it could be the person's sitting next to you. And if you are a woman, your chances of a fair settlement are far lower than if you are a man. We must reform our court system."

Dealing with Esoteric Jargon
§ is the time required for a quantity to reduce its initial value. The term is commonly used in nuclear physics to describe how quickly unstable atoms undergo, or how long stable atoms survive, radioactive decay. The term is also used more generally to characterize any type of exponential or non-exponentialdecay.

A few rhetorical devices§ Cultural references: icons of a generation
§ Repetition
§ Anaphora: Repeating a sentiment in the beginning of each phrase, sentence. § Dental hygiene is a concern for …If you care about
dental hygiene…. We need to invest in dental hygience...
§ Anadiplosis: The last word or phrase is repeated to begin the next.§ “Suffering breeds character; character breeds faith.” –
Rev. Jesse Jackson
§ you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affectionwith love” ( The Bible, II Peter 1:5 – 7)
§ “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” – Popular culture figure, short and green.
