私たちの言葉が明らかにすること、行動では示せないこと | Aadi Jhawar | TEDxKings College School

組織は難しいことを伝える際に特定の言葉遣いを選びがちで、その表現によって決定が避けられないものに聞こえることがあります。話し手のAadi Jhawarは、ビジネス、医療、スポーツの例を使い、この過程で失われるものを検討しています。聞き手を守る言葉遣いと、話し手を守る言葉遣いの違いにも触れています。この講演は、独立して運営されたTEDxイベントのTEDxKings College Schoolで行われ、TEDx Talksで公開されています。

• 難しい発表で使われる言葉
• 避けられないように聞こえる表現が決定を隠す仕組み
• ビジネス、医療、スポーツの例

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
