Presentation Of The Rhetoric Of Non-Verbal Communication

This assignment is a reflective account on communicating with a patient who cannot communicate verbally. To remain confidential I will call the patient, Patient A. I’m going to discuss the importance of non-verbal communication within a healthcare setting. Patient A was a 63 year old lady suffering from MND which resulted in her losing her speech.

Letters are an example of communication methods that people use to get their messages across. They usually include the purpose that the writer wants to accomplish, how it can be accomplished, and the reason of accomplishing it. This way, a letter fulfills its purpose with high effectiveness. If a letter is considered effective, then it is because of its collection of different information from different angles. It at least has to answer the questions what, how, and why in thoughtful answers. Other questions, such as where and when, are preferably to be answered too, but not necessarily. My letter effectively uses rhetorical strategies such as word choice and showing statistics to convince the University of Arizona Police Department Chief to ban texting while driving on campus.

Another important interpersonal concept covered vastly in this film was nonverbal messages. With the emphasis on speeches and radio addresses, along with Bertie’s speech impediment, it was a significant part of the film. The old saying of it’s not what you say, but how you say it is

Rhetoric is a course in which students are taught the values of persuasion. And yet, behind this course is the utmost power to corrupt the world, changing it into a world of our own policies. This power, even though seldom discussed, has lead to many intriguing discoveries. One such discovery is how people are able to shape the world they live in simply by choosing the right words. Therefore those who would want the world to be a better place must protect this power. If in the wrong hands this power could cause serious damage. Several authors have striven to protect rhetoric and its power. Few agree on the matter of defining rhetoric, but they know that they must protect rhetoric from dark souls. A single definition of rhetoric must maintain a simplistic nature while incorporating every aspect of rhetoric. However, I argue that rhetoric is a means of persuading audiences of a situation and a particular reality through language and personal appeal. In order to prove this definition I will discuss how rhetoric creates a situation, the shaping of a different reality, the audience, the use of language, and the personal appeal. Finally, I will demonstrate the absolute need for rhetoric.

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, how about 1,500 words? The question you have just read is rhetorical which is exactly what this paper is about. Visual rhetoric is defined in our textbook, Envision in Depth, as “persuasion through visual means” (Alfano and O’Brien 8). Simply stated, it is how a picture makes an argument about a particular issue, or at least how the photographer makes the argument from their camera lens. The image examined in this essay is focused on drunk driving and its potential consequences. Driving under the influence has become an epidemic that seems to effect more and more people each year, whether they be the individual under the influence or an innocent victim. The chilling advertisement in Figure 1 suggests

Language through rhetorical discourse does something and something was what I needed to do (Wardle and Downs 348). I’m not one to share my feelings or show much emotion towards people or situations. However, if I were to, I’ll put it in writing, whether it’s a text message or letter, just so I don’t have to show it or say it aloud and I’ve always been this way.

As the commentaries have said what improvements of the seminar, I think they missed a few points that I would like to add first would be multiple people started talking along with their academic transitions and were more comfortable along the way better giving their points on the topics. Also the fact that they brought hand gestures and better eye contact really help comply what they were trying to say.Surprisingly I never really saw or heard any lacking conversations between the discussants. As a coach during the seminar I would say everyone went above and beyond and everyone did a fruitful

I’m looking forward to speaker day today because the junior class came up with an excellent speaker to represent their class his year. The presentation started off great, Dr. William Morse came right on time to speak in front of the whole school about adolescent sexuality. I thought it was cool that Miles dad knew someone with this area of expertise and was willing to give a speech. I came into the gym at exactly noon and greeted the senior class speaker which happed to be a former Alabama attorney general. Then I went over to greet Dr. Morse. When it was time to start I went directly behind the podium and gave my spiel about how the students would greatly benefit from both of the speakers today and then I introduced Dr. Morse to the students.

The speaker made direct eye contact at all times unless his head was moving to place emphasis on what he was saying. Further, the speaker spoke loud enough to be heard and did not require me to turn my volume up super high while struggling to hear him. Additionally, the speaker utilized a good pace. He moved slow enough for me to comprehend everything he was telling me but fast enough so that I did not get bored and distracted. Finally, the speaker alternated his pitch throughout the speech which kept my attention. Overall, besides the previously addressed issues, the delivery of the speech was great! I would, however, suggest having more time of the speech spent face to face with the speaker for a more powerful speech.

I would remind the concept ‘Visual rhetoric’, which is defined as “study and the production of the visual representation of space, environment, ecology, and nature in photographs, paintings, television, film, video games, computer media, and other forms of image-based media to construct or challenge “seeing” of nature or what constitutes an environmental problem” (Cox & Pezzullo, p. 74). Laurie Allmann’s Anticipating Rhythm video talks about how the art and popular culture do use in environmental issues, how they are interpreted as visual rhetoric to the public. I was sympathized that tell the small story first and then expand on state and globe with telling authentic and true story be accompanied with visual arts or sounds as complementary truth, because telling general environmental issues cannot make attentions and interests regardless of people who are interested in the nature.

Public relations practitioners have to cautioned because the demographics of the United States is not monolithic, instead it is very diverse and complex in aspects as geography, history, economics, ethnicity, generational, socio-economic status. The PR practitioners must understand and act base on those aspects to positive approach the audience. Otherwise, the communication with the audience will be not effective and the channel use may be not the adequate for the specific

Ever since humans have existed, their ideas, and philosophies existed along with them; however, these ideas would split them into two groups, those who agree, and those who do not agree with the idea. Additionally, there are people who truly believe that everyone should believe in their ideology; therefore, will take certain measures to make people believe in their ideas. One certain measure is using their own words because words can have its own power. By using persuasive and rhetorical tactics, words can lead an army to victory. In addition, persuasive and rhetorical language has the power to make someone realize their opponent’s views regarding a certain topic because that’s what persuasive and rhetorical language does. What persuasive and rhetorical language does is to convince people to see their point of view. Many people have tried to define what persuasive and rhetorical language is. Early philosophers like Aristotle defines what a good speaker and writer should be with ethos, pathos, and logos. Others try to define the structure of persuasive and rhetorical language to make good writers, and speakers. Even though there are many resources today to become a better writer and speaker, it does not mean they will be an effective one. It begs the question on what makes a good writer and speaker?

A great example of non-verbal communication is when Conrad goes in to see Dr. Berger for the first time, his movements showed that he was uncomfortable seeing a shrink by his movements he was making. For example, he was fidgeting around with his hands and also had jumpy legs that seemed to never stop moving, Conrad’s face and eyes also expressed what he was feeling. For example, his facial expression showed that he was upset and uncomfortable talking with Dr. Berger about his

Within the laboratory, there are a range of communication methods that are used to convey information between biomedical scientists and the service users (consultants and patients). Verbal and non-verbal communication shapes our interactions with others and the interpersonal relationships with those around us, including our co-workers and service users. Verbal communication comprises of any form involving the use of words, whether they may be spoken by voice, or written and signed. We use it to inform others of knowledge, opinions and our needs, thus it helps us to clarify any missing information or misunderstandings when we fail to articulate ourselves clearly. Non-verbal communication allows information to be transmitted alongside words
