Reflection on presentations

Reflections

In this Global Perspectives class, besides listening to the views and thoughts of people who presented, which were a valuable contribution to the class. We discussed the states of mind that one person might have when presenting.

As we were discussing this, we came to the conclusion that although everyone  knows what to do in a presentation, and what not to do, the nervous state of mind that a person might experience during this presentation, can cause this individual to forget, or not put forward the entirety of the argument they want to deliver to their audience.


Causing the audience to only receive half of what the presenter really wanted to communicate to them, therefore diminishing the understanding of this person´s knowledge, on the subject. This might not be true, but these kind of occurrences cause this kind of impression.

Finally we came to conclude that an individual which is not in a comfortable situation cannot expose a complete, or a fully planned out message towards its listeners because, not only does one have to present  a concise and thought out point of view without surrendering to the presure of being nervous, and forgeting a part of the point which is esencial, but a person has to manipulate and change the way that he or she will present the information, on the spot while presenting, to interact with the audience.

This in my opinion can only be resolved by presenting many times, to people, and this in turn would make a previously uncomfortable situation, into a comfortable one, where any individual could express themselves freely, without any stress, and without being nervous, therefore giving, all the information that the speaker wanted to put forward, at the same time as they interacted with the group.
