21st Century Learning and Teaching

Nous essayons d’être persuasifs lorsque nous présentons des arguments, qu’ils soient oraux ou écrits. Le public doit comprendre notre point de vue, avant même d’accepter nos arguments. Voilà en quoi consiste la rhétorique, dans laquelle les autres adoptent notre point de vue. Et qui de mieux qu’Aristote pour expliquer la rhétorique ? Les études de l’élève de Platon se sont concentrées sur la rhétorique. Ainsi, la rhétorique d’Aristote se compose de trois catégories : le pathos, l’éthos et le logos.

Le pathos, l’ethos et le logos sont les trois piliers fondamentaux de la rhétorique d’Aristote. Ces trois catégories sont considérées aujourd’hui comme différentes façons de convaincre un auditoire sur un sujet, une croyance ou une conclusion en particulier. Chaque catégorie est différente des autres. Néanmoins, connaître les trois nous aidera à impliquer les publics que nous abordons.

Kids do crazy things, but we expect more from grown-ups, don’t we? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Folks scream obscenities at ballgames, bully people on social media, and treat others with total disrespect. If you think this behavior is rude, insensitive, and tasteless, you’re right. But why is it so prevalent? The truth is, some people behave this way for personal gain; some folks don’t know better; and others know they’ll get away with it — because they have in the past. Some grown-ups never grow up.

While some indiscretions were once considered outlandish, we’ve become desensitized to these actions. It’s troubling that some of this behavior could have been avoided, but too many of us didn’t speak up. Instead, we closed our eyes to the poor behavior and waited for others to make the first move. The consequence is that wrongs committed by enough people become the norm over time. We have no one to blame except ourselves.

As leaders, role models, and parents, we must utilize every opportunity to reinforce the values that we hold dear.

What Values Do You Cherish?
Are polite manners a thing of the past? Should people honor their word? Is it Pollyanna to expect people to do what’s right? I think not! But if we don’t promote good values, don’t be surprised when bad ones become the norm. “How do we improve the situation?” you ask.

First, we must modify our criterion of excellence. It’s not what you have but who you are that counts. Moral character matters!

Communication matters. While a few words can make someone feel special, words poorly chosen have the power to kill a relationship or tarnish a reputation.
