O que nossas palavras revelam e nossas ações não conseguem | Aadi Jhawar | TEDxKings College School

Organizações costumam recorrer a determinada linguagem quando precisam comunicar algo difícil, e essa redação pode fazer uma decisão parecer inevitável. Aadi Jhawar analisa o que se perde nesse processo, com exemplos dos negócios, da medicina e do esporte. Ele compara a formulação escolhida para proteger o ouvinte com a que protege quem fala. A palestra foi apresentada no TEDxKings College School, um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente, e é divulgada pelo TEDx Talks.

• Linguagem usada em comunicados difíceis
• Como a redação que soa inevitável pode esconder decisões
• Exemplos dos negócios, da medicina e do esporte

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
