Plagiarism and how it affects on the author’s credibility
Avoiding Plagiarism Tutorial What is plagiarism? Hmmm… Plagiarism as defined by the Cambridge International Dictionary of English (1996 Edition) is to take another person‘s idea or part of their work and pretend that it is your own. Avoid using another person‘s work without permission. Give credits to whomever you are using his or her work as your reference. That builds up your credibility too
Ethical listening and its characteristics
The role of gestures in giving a public presentation
Natural gesturing and body movement fosters trust in what the presenter is saying and helps speakers articulate their ideas more fluently and expressively. Effective use of gestures also allows presenters to express energy and enthusiasm, which attracts and maintains the audience’s attention.
Classical period of Oratory: Aristotle’s three pillars of persuasion
Ethos , or the appeal to ethics, refers to the effort to convince your audience of your credibility or character. Before you can convince an audience to accept anything you say, they have to accept you. Whether you are creating a flier, giving a presentation, applying for a job, or teaching a workshop, people won’t be persuaded by you unless they trust you. When it comes to communication, trust can be built in a number of ways. It is up to you to understand how you need to respond in each situation and adapt accordingly. Pathos, or the appeal to emotions, refers to the effort to persuade your audience by making an appeal to their feelings. Your audience is more receptive to being persuaded by someone with whom they can identify. Pathos can be used in a variety of ways (to promote positive and negative feelings) as it is the Greek word for referring both to “suffering” and “experience”. When you use pathos to persuade your audience, you need to make them feel an emotion in order to act. Any emotion can cause people to act, (happiness, compassion, nostalgia, anger etc.) even in a ‘small scale’. Logos, or the appeal to logic, refers to the effort to convince your audience by using logic and reason. Effective arguments should include testimonials, surveys and other supporting details to back up your claims/positions. Logos means to document your point through storytelling, logical arguments, facts, recorded evidence, historical data and literal analogies.
