objectivity

Examples of objectivity in the following topics:

• Physical Objects and Animations

  • Ultimately, objects should enhance rather than detract from a presentation.
  • The use of objects as visual aids involves using actual objects as live demonstrations or props for the audience.
  • A common mistake involves placing an object where it is obstructed or hidden from view, or in front of a more interesting object that divides the audience's attention.
  • There are many physical and animate objects available for presentations.
  • Objects can be both beneficial or distracting during speeches.

• Variations in Objectivity

  • Ideally, strive for a balance between subjectivity and objectivity in your speech.
  • To be objective, then, is to remove yourself from your own experience and bias.
  • That said, you can also use objectivity to a point that can actually hurt your speech.
  • Strive for a balance between subjectivity and objectivity in your speech.

• Defining Credibility

  • Credibility is defined as the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message.
  • Credibility is defined as the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message.
  • Credibility is both objective, or based on facts and evidence, and subjective, based on opinions and feelings.
  • Here are three ways to establish objective credibility:

• Informative Speeches

  • For the purposes of this type of informative speech, anything that is visible and tangible is considered an object.
  • Object speeches seek to impart knowledge about this object to the audience.
  • Whether your object is the human body or the most recent episode of Family Guy, informative object speeches provide a comprehensive overview of your object as topic.
  • It's one thing to spout off facts about an object, but there must be a purpose to those facts.
  • A narrowly focused speech topic can really hone in on an object, process, event, or concept, thus making it easier for the audience to understand that topic.

• Visual Demonstrations

  • The use of objects as visual aids involves bringing the actual object to demonstrate on during the speech.
  • Pro: the use of the actual object is often necessary when demonstrating how to do something so that the audience can fully understand procedure.
  • Con: some objects are too large or unavailable for a speaker to bring with them.
  • Models are representations of another object that serve to demonstrate that object when use of the real object is ineffective for some reason.
  • A photograph is also good to use when the actual object cannot be viewed.

• Personification

  • Personification can refer to speaking as another person or thing, or assigning human qualities to a non-human animal, object or idea.
  • Personification is a rhetorical device where a speaker speaks as another person or object (in a style known as prosopopoeia).
  • It can also refer to the assignment of human characteristics and qualities to non-human animals, inanimate objects or abstract ideas.
  • There are two ways to approach personification: to speak as another person to make a point or to personify an inanimate object, animal or abstract thought.
  • In the second instance, assigning human qualities to an object or idea also helps deflect negativity while bolstering the strength of your words and ideas.

• Giving Effective Criticism: Be Positive, Specific, Objective, and Constructive

  • Effective criticism should be positively intended, specific, objective, and constructive in order to achieve results.
  • Ideally, effective criticism should be: positively intended, specific, objective, and constructive.
  • If your criticism is objective, it is much harder to resist.

• Adapting to Handouts and Visuals

  • You can bring an actual object to exhibit during the speech.
  • Objects are often necessary when demonstrating how to do something such as tying knots.
  • As a drawback, some objects are unavailable or too large.
  • Models can represent how an object or system works, such as the solar system.
  • Photographs are good tools to make or emphasize a point or to explain a topic when the real object can not be physically or legally presented.

• Tailor Abstraction to Your Audience

  • I see a number of different objects and I see something similar about all of them, let's say the color.
  • Here I have a direct observable experience with the objects and I see the color in them.
  • For you my label red is not connected with the objects I saw, but you may see similar objects and learn to assign the same label, red, to the color.
  • Your objective when choosing words is not to avoid abstract general words altogether, but rather to avoid using them when your audience needs more specific, concrete connections to what you are saying.

• Analogies

  • Analogies draw comparisons between ideas or objects that share certain aspects or characteristics, but are dissimilar in other areas.
