Conversation Participants 1. Andres 2. David Stout, Author of article, "Government Says Pilots Can't Have Guns in Cockpits." 3. Ethan Green, Author of article, "Gov't: Pilots Can't Have Guns in Cockpit." 4. Lori Robinson, Reviewer of Books ,"Guns for Pilots." 5. Kim James, Author of Article, “Guns in Cockpits” ME: Thanks for agreeing to talk with me, today. I invited you all here because you are experts in your areas and I wanted to hear your opinions on the benefits and disadvantages of having a armed air Marshall or Pilot post 9/11. I personally feel that guns actually improve the safety of airlines post 9/11. Stout: I am a man who prefers not having weapons on a plane, because we have significant security measures to protect the people of the United States when they fly across the country. "Pilots need to concentrate on flying the plane," John Magaw, the undersecretary for transportation security, said at a Senate (Stout1). What the man is saying is that pilots should not have any distractions when flying a aircraft with hundreds of people on board. Green: I am a man very against having weapons on many aircrafts agreeing with what stout said. Giving air marshal’s and pilots access to firearms puts everyone at more risk then not...

...needs of another individual. Even though prayer, and bible study are essential to the Christian life and growth. These are unacceptable forms of servant evangelism and do not meet the requirements of this assignment. This assignment is for you to meet the physical needs of another individual (Matthew 25:31-46; James 2:14-20). (SEE end of document for a list approved, and unacceptable Servant Evangelism projects.) d. P- PENNILESS: In both of these servant evangelism encounters you may not receive money for your work. This must be a free service to those you are serving. NOTE: All servant Evangelism Papers will be graded by the 3-P system (see above). If your assignment does not fulfill the three P’s it will receive a grade deduction. 3. The point of the service is to share the love of God with them in a non-threatening way.

When I told her my sad story, she also felt sad which clearly showed in her facial expression and when I told her some of the jokes, she also became happy and showed me a happy smile and laugh in her face. By giving advices, smile and laugh, it made me so happy that she was listening and understanding of what I said. She really is a good listener. 2.

...The Pumphouse Bar & Grill Session 4 – Final Observation Paper Cheryl Barthuly ENG102 English Composition October 19, 2011 Professor Bennett The Pumphouse Bar & Grill The Pumphouse Bar & Grill came very highly recommended, and I was anxious to see what makes this pub so popular. A friend suggested the pub as a meeting place for lunch but warned it can get busy as it is in the heart of Bellevue’s business center. From the outside, the building is white and plain looking, blending into the surrounding scenery with no indication of its true character. The building is comprised of two restaurants a pub, which is located on the west side, and a Chinese restaurant located on the east side. It appears tiny in size, as does the parking area. There is beautiful green ivy intertwined on white lattice leading up to the front of the building. This ivy wall conceals a small, enclosed outside seating area for when the weather is nice. I then round the corner and a big, bright red door is waiting to welcome all who enter. The atmosphere inside is a drastic contrast to the outside. The walls vibrate with life! There is a line waiting just inside the door and the place is completely packed. There is so much chatter. One cannot detect a single conversation from another as they all blend as one massive, noisy conversation. As I entered, a polite young woman explained it would be a moment before a table is ready. The interior is huge, which is very deceiving...

...Leadership Is a Conversation by Boris Groysberg and Michael Slind The command-and-control approach to management has in recent years become less and less viable. Globalization, new technologies, and changes in how companies create value and interact with customers have sharply reduced the efficacy of a purely directive, top-down model of leadership. What will take the place of that model? Part of the answer lies in how leaders manage communication within their organizations—that is, how they handle the flow of information to, from, and among their employees. Traditional corporate communication must give way to a process that is more dynamic and more sophisticated. Most important, that process must be conversational. We arrived at that conclusion while conducting a recent research project that focused on the state of organizational communication in the 21st century. Over more than two years we interviewed professional communicators as well as top leaders at a variety of organizations—large and small, blue chip and start-up, for-profit and nonprofit, U.S. and international. To date we have spoken with nearly 150 people at more than 100 companies. Both implicitly and explicitly, participants in our research mentioned their efforts to “have a conversation” with their people or their ambition to “advance the conversation” within their companies. Building upon the insights and examples gleaned from this research, we have developed a model of leadership that we call “organizational...

...Reflection paper 2 April 28th, 2014 From telling to talking The issues under discussion during the second session and in the accompanying readings revolved around stakeholder theory as an approach to executing corporate responsibility. This theory is based on company-centrality where various layers of the environment of the company are independently analyzed. In the context of this theory, a stakeholder is understood to be any actor with an explicit or implicit interest in the activities of the company. Actors that typically fall under this category are e.g. employees, owners, customers, the government and surrounding communities. As evidenced by the examples, the concept of stakeholder entails a wide array of internally divergent actors. According to the article stakeholder relation management can be viewed from two distinct vantage points. The first approach views stakeholder relation management as a strategic vehicle for furthering underlying aims of the company. The alternative approach views stakeholder relations management as an intrinsic value that should be furthered as a product of its own merits. The issue of effectively managing stakeholder relations has in recent years gained much more prominence and astute companies are in many cases turning to it as a means to increase customer retention/loyalty and thereby positively impact shareholder value. This kind of an approach would allude to the strategic view as the more prevalent vantage point for approaching stakeholder...

...Turn-taking in Conversations: Overlaps and Interruptions - Recorded Conversation Analysis - Introduction Turn-taking behavior and interaction patterns play a key role in the process through which the participants interpret each-other's meanings and interactions. The study of "rules" of conversational behavior, turn-taking, overlapping of turns, pausing between the turns, etc. was pioneered by Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson (1974). Interruption, according to West and Zimmerman, disrupts a current speaker - although disruption as such can also be regarded as interaction. Drummond claims that the disruptive potential of a turn can and should be evaluated based on the way the overlap was resolved in the interaction. Lerner (1989) observes that there are interruptions which can be justified in the ongoing interaction based on the sequential context of turns that lead to interruptive turns. He calls these justified interruptions. There are also "delayed completions", which represent a device for resolving overlap; a locator producing them might have been 'interrupted' by a current speaker before reaching the end of a (prior) turn - this gives the locutor the status of an interuptee, and thus the interuptee gains the "right" to complete his or her previous turn by interrupting the current speaker. In defining overlaps, the following qualify as important concepts: 1. Transition Relevant Places (TRPs) - they are a natural place for the occurrence of short overlaps or simultaneous...

On conducting a recent research project that focused on the state of organizational communication. About 150 people from more than 100 companies mentioned their efforts to have a conversation with the people or to advance the conversation within their companies. There are basically four main elements of organizational conversation. Intimacy: Getting Close Leaders should minimize the distance between them and the workers (employees) of the organization in order to earn the trust of their employees. Conversational intimacy can be helpful to the organization in many ways such as: Gaining trust: Where there is no trust, there can be no intimacy. It is important for the leaders to gain the trust of the employees for proper functioning of the organizational works. Listening well: Leaders who take...

...Reframing Paper We live by talking. We chatter and tattle and gossip and jest. But sometimes—more often than we’d like—we have stressful conversations, those sensitive exchanges that can hurt or haunt us in ways no other kind of talking does. Stressful conversations are unavoidable in life, and in business they can run the gamut from firing a subordinate to, curiously enough, receiving praise. But whatever the context, stressful conversations differ from other conversations because of the emotional loads they carry. These conversations call up embarrassment, confusion, anxiety, anger, pain, or fear—if not in us, then in our counterparts. Indeed, stressful conversations cause such anxiety that most people simply avoid them. This strategy is not necessarily wrong. One of the first rules of engagement, after all, is to pick your battles. Yet sometimes it can be extremely costly to dodge issues, appease difficult people, and smooth over antagonisms because the fact is that avoidance usually makes a problem or relationship worse.[1] I want share a stressful conversation I have met today. Here is my situation: this morning when I woke up and went to kitchen I saw my lovely red stockpot laying in the sink looks like a big coal ball. It drives me mad. Actually I know what happened because this already happened a lot of times. One of my roommates “G” burned it again! She almost has burned all of my kitchen wares including my stockpots, pan, pancake turners, and several other wares. Another...
