Your body language shapes who you are. A speech made by Amy cuddy explains on how your body language differentiates weather you are feeling powerful or powerless. On June 2012 at TEDGlobal Amy Cuddy made her speech to inform her audience about how your body language can have a meaning on how you’re feeling about your surroundings. Amy cuddy initiates her speech with an important attention getter in persuading the listener to change their body language by the end of the speech. Once I began watching this speech I was completely interested on her ideas because it is really important to know about our body language because we never notice about it.
In order to gain your audience’s attention, you will need to start off by asking a question or saying something that might relate to the listener’s experiences. Amy Cuddy began by giving a free no tech life hack that will help you along your life. Credibility is to make your audience believe about what you are saying and she established credibility by explaining how important your body

She used supporting materials such as videos and images that were humorous and also showing about what she was talking about, also she provided oral citations of her own work. The transitions that she made to let her audience know she was going to change or explain more in depth was that she used something similar to Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. For example, she began her saying “This is what we did” “This is what happens” “This is what we find”. She ended her speech with a conclusion that closed up the circle. She went back to the what she asked in the beginning and persuade her audience to change up and it guaranteed to change the outcomes of their life. Her speech was perfectly clear and creative, she used repetition on a phrase “Fake it till’ you make it” but then she changed it to “Fake it till” you become
Overall, Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a convincing speech on women’s rights at the U.N. World Conference by using the key rhetorical techniques ethos, pathos, logos, and anaphora’s. The use of these techniques helped the audience believe in the cause of which Clinton was speaking about, sympathize for situations females were being put through, and working to strive towards equal rights for everyone. Clinton used the same stance throughout her speech and raised her voice at points in her speech that needed
She then immediately follows up with a way to fix it and demand respect. Shes trying to connect with the audience and shows that she has been in the same place, that she can relate. You can see that she has done her research, she uses plenty of statistics to give you a visual of what she is talking about as well as quoting people from organizations and giving them the appropriate credit. She mentions in 2005 at yale, her alma mater, 15 students sat in the admissions office until they were removed by police. These individuals were demanding changes to the financial aid policy.
This helps her deliver the message because her tone is very confident and it makes her presentation really effective because she sounds like someone who really wants something to be done with the gender inequality in Africa. She is really passionate and the audience is able to feel it when they hear how confident she is. Another code and convention that she uses is when she pauses. This helps her deliver her message when ever she pauses, it lets audience take in what she is saying. There are many parts before she pauses where she says something funny, and it helps her because it keeps the audience engaged in what is to come.
She used humor occasionally but it wasn't usually relevant to the actual speech. There was no use of visual aids which was fine because it did not really require any. Moving on, she discussed the things that have worked for her like making schedules and being persistent. In doing so, she related it back on how one could use her examples in order to become more efficient. She used many hand gestures which helped us concentrate on her message more effectively.
While communicating with another human being, one only has to examine the other’s face in order to comprehend what is being said on a much deeper level. It is said that up to 55 percent of a message’s meaning can be derived from facial expression (Subramani, 2010). These facial manipulations allow thoughts to be expressed in ways that are often difficult to articulate verbally, with the face demonstrating “the thoughts of the mind, and the feelings of the heart” (Singla). Many expressions are said to universal, particularly those showing happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and...
to relate. For example, at the beginning of her speech she states, “When I was
She quickly transitions to explaining how it was not only opportunity but also hard work that got her to where she was. In opening sentence she states, “I was just counseled not to be nervous, that’s almost impossible.” This was the first sentence of her speech, it opened it up with a bit of humor as the entire crowd she wass talking to laughed. The feedback she received from her audience almost gives her slight ease, she feels like she has their full attention. Being nominated to the highest court house in the nation must have really caused her excitement. As she is talking she sometimes slows down to a point where it seems she doesn’t want to lose track of what she is saying. This can be due to psychological noise she might have been experiencing while delivering her speech. The excitement of being nominated for the high ranking position would have made most people have wondering thoughts about the future that awaits
Males have dominated over the females for so many years, creating the stereotypes that women should stay at home and cook dinner for the children. Throughout the speech, Clinton focuses on the women instead of the men because she believed that it was time for women to take that role, for women to stand up and take their rightful place. Men have always been taken seriously in the political arena but Clinton thought it was time for women to be taken seriously and she still believes this can happen as she continues to say “I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling but someday someone will” (CNN). Clinton refers to the stereotypes that have made it difficult for women to achieve the same goals as men but soon after sets a hopeful and optimistic tone to show her female supporters that even though she was not capable of making the difference, someone will be able to.
One of the main topic Amy Cuddy talked about was about communication with body language, communicating in a non-verbal way with others but as well with ourselves. Cuddy describes how one judges on other human body language and how one can make decision based on their body language. Amy Cuddy describes situations like job interviews and promotions, where humans could make decision based on someone’s non-verbal communication. Also Amy Cuddy use the example of Nalini Ambad research that states when someone watches a mute clip of a physician attending a
Body language and verbal speech have the capacity to elicit both overt and covert power. Control is only effective if you have a responsive audience. There must be a part of the web that is connected to them even if it is just a single strand to have an emotional response. The film The Other Woman, demonstrates the use of both overt and covert power.
Republican presidential candidates have been participated to speak to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) that been convened on Monday, March 21, 2016. Which discussed the relationship between the United States and Israel and the future policies and strategic plans that will be followed by each of the candidates when they win the presidential election to strengthen ties with Israel. Also, their speech will contain some of Israeli and Palestinians framings that obtained our attention in Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's speech.

...tention to how people react to one another’s comments, guessing the relationship between the people and guessing how each feels about what is being said. This can inform individuals to better understand the use of body language when conversing with other people. It is also important to take into account individual differences. Different cultures use different non-verbal gestures. Frequently, when observing these gestures alone the observer can get the wrong impression, for instance, the listener can subconsciously cross their arms. This does not mean that they are bored or annoyed with the speaker; it can be a gesture that they are comfortable with. Viewing gestures as a whole will prevent these misunderstandings. Non-verbal gestures are not only physical, for example; the tone of voice addressing a child will be different from the way it is addressed to an adult.
