Power of the Void- Jr. Band


"The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible (silence) global citizen."


I think that adding the silence before the words "Global citizen" creates the most tension. This is because the mission statement is saying what it does to make you a successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen, but when you put the pause right before the words "global citizen," you make the audience (or who ever your talking to) wait to hear, "a successful, spirited, socially responsible, what?" because they are forced to wait. This causes tension, therefore inducing a question, which is answered after the silence.
