    CLARITY

    By: Albestor, Gerolin,

    Clarity(Clarity)
    (n) - the quality
    of being clear,
    in particular.

    Clarity

    The quality of being clear


    In communication, whatever you want to
    say to receivers should really be clean
    an concise in short, with clarity.

    Use of Precise Language and Familiar


    Language
    Examples:
    Too Long, too deep:
    I had read an article on the internet that
    was indeed, satirical.
    Use this instead:
    I read a ridiculous article in the internet.

    When talking to people not of your


    wavelength, make sure to use simpler
    terms while explaining:
    Too vague:
    Do you understand the concept of sales
    populi est suprema lex ?
    Much Better:
    Do you understand the concept of the
    welfare of the people is the supreme
    law?

    Observe the following elements in clarity:

    Length
    Example
    Too wordy:
    It seems to me that it does not make sense
    to allow any bail to be granted to anyone
    who has ever been convicted of a violent
    crime.
    Just Right:
    Bail should not be granted to anyone who
    has ever been convicted of a violent crime.

    Unity
    Examples:
    The main idea must have a connection
    with all your succeeding phrases.
    Confusing:
    The eagle soars high and the bees revolt
    in the heat of the sun.
    Much Better:
    The eagle soars high in the heat of the
    sun.

    Coherence
    The Quality of the sentences in a paragraph when all parts and ideas
    are clearly connected.
    Example:
    Poor Coherence
    The power to be heard, the power to decide and, ultimately, the power
    to shape events. For a politician, power is the name of the game. A
    politician without power is like a yachtsman with no wind becalmed,
    bemused, going nowhere.. Without power, what use are policies?
    Good Coherence
    For a politician power is the name of the game. The power to be heard,
    the power to decide and, ultimately, the power to shape events.
    Without power, what use are policies? A politician without power is like
    a yachtsman with no wind becalmed, bemused, going nowhere..

    Emphasis

    Gives force to the important parts of a


    sentence.
    Use and, but, for, so, nor, yet.

    Examples
    Little Emphasis: The train was travelling so
    fast that it derailed.
    Better Emphasis: The train was travelling at
    speeds in excess of 160 Kilometers per hour
    and it became derailed.

    Little Emphasis: Employers should


    oversee that the needs of their
    employees are satisfied in order to
    maintain good morale in the office.
    Better Emphasis: The needs of the
    employees are the main priority of the
    employers for them to maintain a happy
    workforce.
