Lo que revelan nuestras palabras y nuestras acciones no pueden | Aadi Jhawar | TEDxKings College School

Las organizaciones suelen recurrir a un lenguaje particular cuando tienen que comunicar algo difícil, y esa redacción puede hacer que una decisión parezca inevitable. Aadi Jhawar examina lo que se pierde en ese proceso, con ejemplos de los negocios, la medicina y el deporte. Contrasta la formulación pensada para proteger al oyente con la que protege al orador. La charla se dio en TEDxKings College School, un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente, y se comparte a través de TEDx Talks.

• Lenguaje usado en anuncios difíciles
• Cómo una redacción aparentemente inevitable puede ocultar decisiones
• Ejemplos de negocios, medicina y deporte

Aadi considers the language organisations reach for when they have something difficult to say, and what is lost when a decision is described in terms that make it sound inevitable. Drawing on examples from business, medicine, and sport, he looks at the difference between wording chosen to protect the listener and wording chosen to protect the speaker. Aadi is a Year 11 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, with a particular passion for science and linguistics. He is fascinated by how scientific discovery helps us understand the world, and by how words across different languages shape the way we communicate with, interact with, and respect others. Beyond the classroom, he plays cricket and racquet sports, and nurtures his love of music through the piano and violin. He also follows Formula 1 and enjoys designing and racing model cars. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
