...Demonstrative Communication Paper Jesus Martin del Campo BCOM/275-Business Communications and Critical Thinking January 28, 2014 Rosyo Ramirez * * * * * * * * * * Demonstrative Communication Paper * How common is demonstrative communication in your everyday life? As I was researching I found out that demonstrative communication plays a very important role in our everyday communication being a key factor when we are doing business; especially if it is international business because what can be normal or common to us; might be disrespectful to others. Demonstrative communication can be effective and ineffective, positive or negative for the sender and the receiver; it is our job to figure it out how to interpret it and how we manage ourselves in-front of others. Demonstrative communication also involves listening and responding in different ways, not just verbally, I will explain this point fully in the following paper. * Description * Demonstrative communication can be delivered via body, physiology, or nonverbal. It is very important how you communicate nonverbally because it can affect your message and the receiver can misinterpret your point very easily. On the other hand, the sender can misinterpret the feedback of the receiver. Our body plays a very important role in nonverbal communication. For example, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice, body language, and among others. All these can affect...

By the analysis of numerous studies, facts and researches that it seems the author determines the amount of conversation totally depend on different circumstances and situations. Furthermore, unlike the proverb of English says. “Women’s tongues are like lambs tails-----they are never still” (299). Holmes thinks that women are talking less than men in many situations, such as in the classroom and working place. Even though, many evidence of this paper has displayed dozens of reasons that women are talking much less than we think, there are still some evidences to persuade people this article does not quite convincible. In this essay, I will discuss many evidences and studies that Holmes used to convince the reader. Moreover, the tone of her article will be analyzed, and finally I will present some opposing view with evidence to prove that men totally talk less than women. Holmes has given a lot of different evidences and studies to convince reader that women usually do not have more conversations than man in workplace, classroom or some other situations. There is a intersecting example about women could not find the same chance to talk in business meeting or other kinds of working place that she give in the article. “She only spoke once and one of my fellow directors cut across her and said ‘What Anne is trying to say Roger is…’ and I think that about sums it up.

...Shuo Sun – Anthro R5B - Final Paper Outline Abstract: In “The art of not being governed”, James Scott uses the example of the hill people living in the mountain region of Zomia and argued that instead of being primitive form of living, barbarians, or human beings leftover from pre-state era, these hill people deliberately move to inaccessible region to avoid state control. Scott states that the inaccessibility of the hills make them natural escape routes that can be used to avoid the sovereignty of state government. Scott briefly talks about the examples of how the defeated Kuomintang in the 1950s and the remnants from Taiping Rebellion both escaped to the mountains, but fails to talk about what happen to these people after that. In this paper, I would like to work on this missing information and find data to evaluate whether these people converted themselves to hill people permanently or did they use the resources in the hills to fight back against the state. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the primary or secondary sources concur with Scott’s arguments and discuss about the mechanism of using hills as escape routes in more details. Outline: 1. Introduction: The section introduces Scott and his book, “The art of not being governed” and points the reader to the specify topic that I will be focusing on in this paper. There will be a few sentences talking about the rationale and importance of this paper. (0.5 page) 2. Theoretical background: This section...

...because you are too busy looking at your phone? What about when you kill someone’s child because you’re too busy talking to your friend and run a stop light? Will you say “sorry” to the kid’s parents and expect everything to be okay? Saying “sorry” cannot begin to fix some things and preventing those from happening by acting responsibly in the first place is the best you can do. I like the introduction technique with the hypothetical questions. However, you now need to transition into your thesis or central claim, and that central claim needs to come here, at the end of the intro paragraph. Ninety percent of car accidents are caused by human error – driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, speeding recklessly, changing lanes without signaling, passing through red lines, and probably most known of all: distracted driving OK, first of all, don’t begin body paragraphs with statistics. Rarely should you do this. Instead, remember that I want your body paragraphs to begins with subclaims. Secondly, where did you get this statistic? This is not a research paper (you’ll be taught proper research in Composition II). For now, we want you to avoid research sources except your interviews. . Distracted Driving is dangerous and can kill you and those people around you.—THIS is a subclaim.

...Running head: DEMOSTRATIVE COMMUNICATION PAPER Sonya Shaffer Demonstrative Communication Paper BCOM/275 University of Phoenix Professor Steven Boylan November 25, 2013 Demonstrative Communication Paper In this paper, it will explain demonstrative communication such as nonverbal and unwritten communication and involve such things as facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and so forth. It will include examples that show how demonstrative communication can be effective and ineffective, positive, and negative for the sender. It will explain how demonstrative communication involves listening and responding. Communication is a connection between two individual people that give information to one another by accepting the senders’ purpose, grasping the content of the message, and performing a message between two individuals so that they can create a shared understanding. Communication starts when the sender of a message is organized with clear and correct proper grammar, punctuation, spelling, noun sequencing, and syntax. The steps are quite important for the senders itself when the sender speaks either to fast or too slow and it could cause a muffle speech to take into effect, or the words may be a mixture, and so therefore, it could put an effect onto the message whether it was clear or not. A good thing to remember is that the...

...communication is consist of. We will present to you, examples of how demonstrative communication can be effective and ineffective, positive and negative, for the sender and receiver. The writer of this paper will also describe how demonstrative communication involves listening and responding. We will also talk about what to be as you speaking with someone. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition to the word demonstrative is to “freely and openly showing emotion of feelings (Merriam-Webster)”; it also mean to demonstrate, inclined to display feelings openly, and to demonstrate as the real true. And communication is defined as “the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc.; to someone else” (Merriam-Webster). If we put the two words together, it is clear that demonstrative communication mean to freely or openly express one’s self either verbally or nonverbal; the writer of this essay strongly believes that people tend to use demonstrative communication to persuade others. Verbal communication is when you are communicating in the form of written or an oral message; non-verbal communication is when someone is communicating through gestures, images, expressions on an individual’s face. Let us please not forget about visual communication; visual communication are communication that relies on vision. For example, a light signal; it tell you when to stop, when...

... Demonstrative Communication Paper Besides verbal communication there are other ways to be able to communicate with others. There are communications called nonverbal or unwritten communications. With nonverbal or unwritten communication you are speaking to someone without using words and that person understands what you are saying because they are watching your body movements and how you are expressing yourself when talking to them. The one question everyone asks is, “What is nonverbal communication?” Nonverbal communication is a vital form of communication- a natural, unconscious language that broadcasts our true feelings and intentions in any given moment, and clues us in to the feelings and intentions of those around us (Segal, Smith, & Jaffe, 2012). There are all different ways we use nonverbal communication. Examples of nonverbal communication would be facial expressions, gestures we use, eye contact with the person, our posture, and even the tone of voice we use. With all these types of nonverbal communication we are expressing how we feel about a specific topic we are talking about. When we are communicating with others it helps if our nonverbal cues are matching up to what we are talking about. For example if you were telling someone about a type of car that person would be watching your nonverbal cues to make sure you are trustworthy with what you are saying. If any of the nonverbal cues are not matching up to what you are talking about that person is going to...

...Multimodal Analysis For the visual picture for this project, I choose to use two pictures that have numbers and stats, because my main audience for this paper is my friends or anyone who is taking Computer Science major and feel like it is really overwhelming and that he cannot do it and anyone who is taking that major and in the same does not take care of his health. Specially, that we have a hard major so we have to be seated for most of the time, which lead to a lot of problems, so I used pictures to appeal to their feelings and to show them by numbers, what will happen to them if they do not start taking care of themselves. Also in Computer Science major, we take a lot of math classes so we are used to seeing numbers all the time. I want to show them that I know what they are going through and that I am not someone who just want to get good grade on his paper for an english class and that is it. In my paper and my choose of visual for this project, I used ethos, logos and pathos.

...Correlations & Scatterplots Paper Introduction The purpose of this paper is to determine if there is a relationship between age and several different activities performed by respondents that participated in a survey conducted by the Statistics class of spring 2010 at the Community College of Philadelphia. Age was the dependent variable I chose. The ages of the respondents ranged from 13 to 80. The survey consisted of 329 respondents. The variables I chose to evaluate were: (1) Hours spent on the internet; (2) Hours spent watching television; (3) Hours spent talking on cell phones; (4) Number of cigarettes smoked daily. I chose each of the independent variables because I was curious to see if there would be a relationship between the dependent variable “age” and each of the independent variables. I suspect that age will play a major factor in each of the variables chosen. Using the Data Analysis Tool in Excel will help me determine if my speculations are correct or incorrect. Speculations I expect that the amount of time spent on the internet would decrease as the age increases. It seems to me; the younger you are the more reason you have to use the internet, for example: for school, for social sites, and just because it seems that this is what most young people do today. I would expect that the amount of time watching television would increase as age increases because younger people tend to spend more time with other activities such as sports as opposed to older...
