...Gather Information on the Factors that Affect the Communication Process CO2520 Communication Professor: Ms Callender Communication is a learned skill. However, while most people are born with the physical ability to talk, not all can communicate well unless they make special efforts to develop and refine this skill further. Communication has been defined as the act of giving, receiving or exchanging information, ideas and opinions so that the message is completely understood by both parties. In a communication process, there must be a sender who speaks or sends a message, and a receiver who listens or receives the message. The sender sends a message with a certain intention in mind. The receiver of the message tries to understand and interpret the message sent. He then gives feedback to the original sender, who in turn interprets the feedback. there are several major elements in the communication process- a sender, message, channel, receiver, feedback, context. A message is only considered successfully communicated when both the sender and the receiver perceive and understand it in the same way. If this does not happen, then there may be a breakdown in communication, which may ultimately stand in the way of you realising your goals, either personally or professionally. Factors Affecting Communication Process: Effective communication is a two-way process but there are a number of factors which may disrupt this process and affect the overall interpretation...

...individuals (Ohanemu, 2006). Business organizations anywhere in the world operates within environments which according to Adidu & Olanye (2006) is an aggregate of all conditions, events, circumstances and influences that surround and effect the business organization. In management, the term “Environment” does not necessarily mean physical surroundings but, it is used as a total forces, factors and influences that surround and affect business organizations as a separate entity as well as other business organizations. This means that business organizations must interact with those forces that influence its decisions, directions, actions, size, health, profitability and performance of the organization as a whole. Ukaegbu (2004) stated that the contemporary environment is becoming dynamic and competitive and since business organizations do not operate in vacuum, they affect and are affected by environment conditions. Therefore, business organizations irrespective of their objectives must take into consideration, these environmental opportunities and constraints. Businesses affect the environment by providing the required goods and services thereby contributing to the development of the business by presenting opportunities and threats. One thing to be emphasized at this point is that, the extent to which managers could identify, evaluate and react to the environmental forces will have considerable impact on organizational performances. Kuye, (2004), emphasized that the...

...2The Factors that Affect Health Status and Patterns of Ill Health P3: Describe current patterns of health and how they are monitored – Patterns of ill health in the UK are monitored through the use of statistics. The UK National Statistic organisation is responsible for producing these statistics in order to illustrate and identify patterns of ill health within the UK. Government statistical departments play a vital role in identifying and monitoring patterns of ill health in the UK, of which include: * The Department of Health * Health and Safety Executive * NHS Information Centre for Health and Social Care Statistics can be collected from records such as birth certificates, the death register and hospital admissions records. Records can be used for further analysis in order to gain more specific information, for example the weight of a new-born baby, or the reason an individual was admitted into hospital. The government has made the use of having these records available a legal requirement so that the statistics may be available when they are required. Statistics can be collected through the use of surveys, i.e. the national census of which is held every 10 years in the UK by the government. The national census survey has been in place since 1801 and takes into account each individual within a household. It is able to provide an outline of the UK which enables us to compare geographical areas. However statistics are not always accurate for what they...

...I'm a naturally kind and compassionate person, and I believe that every negative experience in one’s life can result in something positive. I would not consider my behavior to be prosocial for the reason that I had no motive for donating both turkeys to the local food pantry designed to help others. My behavior was altruistic. Why? My act was voluntarily to help needy families with no expectation of a reward in any form, except perhaps a feeling of having done a good deed. Prosocial behavior ranges over a continuum from the most selfless acts of altruism to helpful acts that are motivated entirely by self-interest (Taylor, Peplau, Sears, 2006). The fact that I was directly gaining a tax deduction for my charitable donation did not affect my feelings about the behavior. My empathic concern motivated me to help the families in need. Because the goal of empathic concern is to enhance the welfare of someone else, it provides an altruistic motive for helping (Taylor, Peplau, Sears, 2006). Bystander intervention is the technical term for helping a...

...Factors the affect the rate of decomposition pH of soil The pH of the soil can affect the rate of decomposition as it directly affects the type and activity of the bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms decomposing material. A highly acidic soil (0-7 pH) or highly alkaline soils (7-14 pH), it is not a ideal environment for the micro-organisms to grow in. It also affects the food the soil biota feeds on, as extreme pH can determine the availability of essential plan nutrients. Temperature of soil In general, reaction rates increase when a temperature is hotter. This is also applicable to the rate of decomposition. The explanation for this relates to enzymes; the microbes, fungi and bacteria which are often the decomposers contain many enzymes which help to effectively break down a living being rolling body. If there is a higher temperature, in the instance, in the soil, then the enzymes will make more successful collisions than they would at a lower temperature.This in turn causes them to decompose an object faster. However if a temperature is too high it will cause the enzymes to denature. Meaning the substrate will permanently change the shape and will not fit into the active site. Using the lock and key model we can see how denatured substances can cause less successful collision and a slower rate of decomposition. Moisture of Soil Decomposition is a process which needs oxygen - many micro-organisms are suppressed and cannot effectively decompose material...

...Readers are actively engaged with the text; they think about many things as they read to comprehend the text. For example, they do the following: • Activate prior knowledge • Examine the text to uncover its organization • Make predictions • Connect to their own experiences • Create mental images • Draw inferences • Notice symbols and other literary devices • Monitor their understanding These activities can be categorized as reader and text factors (National Reading Panel, 2000). Reader factors include the background knowledge that readers bring to the reading process as well as the strategies they use while reading and their motivation and engagement during reading. Text factors include the author’s ideas, the words the author uses to express those ideas, and how the ideas are organized and presented. Both reader factors and text factors affect comprehension. This table presents an overview of the two comprehension factors. Type Factor Role in Comprehension Reader Background Knowledge Students activate their world and literary knowledge to link what they know to what they're reading. Vocabulary Students recognize the meaning of familiar words and apply word-learning strategies to understand what they’re reading. Fluency Students have adequate cognitive resources available to understand what they’re reading when they read fluently. Comprehension Strategies Students actively direct their reading, monitor their understanding, and troubleshoot problems when they...
