6 Rhetorical Techniques 1. Three breathless sentences 2. Three repetitive sentences (opening clause) 3. Balancing statements 4. Metaphor 5. Exaggerative statements 6. Rhyming statements

[@gleeh.8864]

Tim Borny very effective in public speaking.

[@TravisTennies]

Yes, but what about reality? This explains why complete idiots actually get enthusiastic followers to be *for* things that are very bad. This explains why there are people who think murderous rapists should be welcome into all countries. This explains why people like 0bama and the clintons have followers, even though they want horrible things for the USA. :( This Simon Lancaster is so into language, he is blind of reality and facts. This is why he is anti-Trump. Stupid elitist asshole!

[@gleeh.8864]

Whoah. Easy.

[@opeyemiidris4062]

Now I have nothing against you but copying and pasting your response several times inot different comment threads does not make you right. If anything at the second time I read it I started disregarding everything you said.

[@ashrutaryal7017]

what are balancing statements exactly like? can someone please elaborate it to me

[@samanthaocttaviani8565]

I love how he explained that rhetoric isn’t taught in schools as it once used to be. Now there’s so many young people out there that have no idea how to express themselves and it holds them back from making a difference. I somehow feel like this isn’t an accident. Someone was trying to hold us back.

[@danielsurman4669]

Read Power shift by Alvin Tofler; you will see who is holding us back...

[@stadler72]

Universities USED to teach the liberal arts. It's how we know right from wrong, regardless of what the government, church or other power structure tells us.

[@r3db34rd8]

Wife’s a high school English teacher. She teaches rhetoric. I suppose it depends on where you live.

[@zfolwick]

not being naught rhetoric also makes us susceptible to thinking that rhetorical devices are the same thing as good ideas.

I have watched this video so many times since the start of my sales career,, which was over 7 years ago. I have also referenced it as often as I get the chance. Its quality, every sales person should watch this.

Let's Revive Rhetoric in Public Education! "It is absoulutely scandalous that, when in the world we're dealing with such huge challenges , financial inequalities, the apocalyptic threats of climate change, religious persecution unmatched since the 1940s, that we should be restricting debate to such a narrow minority (the politicians). Instead of teaching our children to sit down and shut up we should be teaching them to stand up and speak out. So, let's revive rhetoric (in education). Let's really reinvigorate debates around the world and let's really give the chance to every child on the planet to become a leader. How should we call this Grand Initiative? Well, here's an idea: How about Democracy!?" Simon Lancaster A strong finish! Superb indeed!

A cult is not a religion. A cult is a group who's leaders say to take the lives of those who leave the group. A cult is a group who takes the lives of people who are not in their club. islam is not a religion, it's a cult.

[@1androo2]

state sponsored education is providing a substandard service? say it ain't so.

[@quidproquo82]

This explains why people fall for simplistic answers to complex geopolitical issues. This explains why attacking convenient scapegoats and making sweeping generalizations appeals to simplistic minds. This explains why people like Trump attract so many followers, because they appeal to the most base parts of human nature.

1. Three Breathless Sentences 2. Three Repetitive Sentences 3. Three Balancing Statements 4. Metaphor 5. Exaggeration 6. Rhyme ❤❤ Amazing speech

[@Ghost-js5cg]

Very well done. Not only was he sharing information that can really help the people, but he was demonstrating how it can help by using it himself.

[@rahuldutt1358]

This Guy is brilliant. Got halfway through the speech, paused it to order Winning Minds - Secrets from the language of Leadership. He is my new guru.

[@branchannel2610]

I could listen to this man all day long. You don't get to listen to such valuable words from real intelligent people at outside as they'd rather choose not to share their insights for free. One ted talk video a day can actually keep vacuous thoughts away, you know!

[@ivan_dlt]

He is good. I'm from Russia, sitting at home, looking a guy in Italy, speaking English - all that is just because his speech is awesome. What a blossom!

[@VivekTiwari03]

This has to be one of the best TED talks of all of them. You learn so much in every single minute as it passes. And I bet you'll be coming back from time to time to see this one.

You would lose the bet with me. He is coming from the history and use of “ programming”. I see that as negative. It resonates with you. Not everyone thinks and perceives like you. Maybe you have yet to discover that. The number 3 is also used by Globalists / New World Order / Illuminati. I think we can do much better.

[@wellbodisalone]

His coherence is simply remarkable! I like the way he talks about reaching goals.

[@SuperAli2007]

This simply is the best speech I've ever heard in a long time. Its heart is in democracy and its wings are effective techniques. Powerful

[@timothywise9731]

This guy is obviously a socialist. He has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to the earths climate....he knows how to spew rhetoric all right. Before we stand up and speak we should first learn, as children, to shut up and listen! This guy has it backwards. It's because of people like this that we have the laziest and weakest generation in history. It will be the "do nothing" generation!

[@ousmanediallo8438]

I think, he has given us the best ways of speaking in public. without a doubt, his examples are great such as changing the tone's of the voice and gestures.

[@Radblur]

Masterful. I've been teaching rhetoric as a tutor for a while now, and this is truly excellent. So excellent indeed that It should have 100 million views at least, nay 1 billion I say! Even if people do not become master rhetoricians themselves, they need to learn it so that they can defend themselves against manipulation, so that they can grasp the gullibility of the mind on first impressions, and so that they can understand the importance of educating future generations in it.

[@laweacosmica2063]

[@DannyJMendez20s]

I must say, that improvisation was very impressive. Also, I have to agree that those 6 techniques(three breathless sentences, three repetitive sentences, balancing sentences, exaggeration, metaphors, and rhyming) all seem effective, and the examples he gave seem to back up his argument that they work.

What made the improv even more impressive was that he was advocating for the opposite of what he thinks and believes in! A man that can come up a speech like that on the fly about something he doesn't even believe in, when he speaks of something that does align with his values... WATCH OUT!! He'll be selling ice to the Eskimos in no time!

[@BGomez-tk7lu]

( ! ) Okay, I really enjoyed this talk and agree this is a very important topic, but this was uploaded in 2016, I'm writing this comment in 2018. Nothing has changed at all. Nobody (to my knowledge) has implemented retoric/speech in the school programs. The same goes for other valuable ideas shared before in TEDx, for example, I remember a talk given by an old man who lived in Africa and had discovered how to stop climate change by bringing in roaming cattle to dry lands... What are we waiting for? This comment section is full of capable and inteligent people, We applaud this concepts and ideas, but we don´t take action.

[@thorstenharde7021]

I agree with you! The ideas need to be spread to decision maker. I think there are many of us viewer willing to send a mail. Because this can initiate a big change. But fewest of us will know who to contact such person. I dont know but maybe a government department is the right receiver.

[@AdultingWithSamnang]

actually my professor in college is making us watch this video and try to give this kind of speech in class!

[@BenzinioB]

Here is the thing... those "elite" he mentioned at the end doesn't have any interest of spreading this and many other good ideas as they could be a threat to the same "elite" It is kind of US paragraph 22 - those who can change it are also those who going to take the negatives so... ;)

[@Neo-ij8bz]

In high school if you take an AP English class you learn how to analyze rhetoric in writing. We never learned any of this speech building stuff in school though. It needs to be implemented in our schools, and it has to be implemented for everyone instead of just a select few.

[@ionlytypecomments676]

We actually learned and implemented rhetoric language in our writings in my english class (freshman year)

The way he is presenting is an amazing one.

[@EnglishwithLucas]

Important Clippings: - 6 speech writer secrets: 1. The rule of 3. Like TEDx slogan: rethink, reinvent, and reinvest ourselves. 2. Three sentences in which the opening clause is repeated. 3. Metaphor is probably the most important piece of political communication. 4. Images of positive and negative things. 5. Exaggeration 6. Rhyming sentences -They work because they speak to the instinctive, emotional and logical brains. -Instead of teaching our children to sit down and shut up, we should be teaching them stand up and speak out.
