...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...

...The Poems Ways of Talking by Ha Jin in 1996 and Bright Copper Kettles by Vijay Seshadri in 2010 have many similarities when you analyze the two. Each and every reader can relate with each reading in one way or another and both have the same type of core conflict. In this paper we are going to cover the type of core conflicts in these two pomes. After covering the conflicts that are present in each poem we are going to look at the literary techniques that help highlight and defined the conflict in each poem. Finally we will finish up by covering the similarities and the differences in the two poems. Starting with the core conflict in the Poem Ways of Talking, we find ourselves looking at individual verses self. This form of conflict is an internal conflict with one’s self trying to transform a way of thinking or a type of behavior that has been performed in one’s life. In this poem, it tells how two people have been having conversations about grief. The first part of the poem states “we used to like talking about grief our journals and letters were pack with losses, complaints and sorrows” (Jin 1996) indicating the core conflict of individual verses self will be transformed and resolved at the end of the poem. This type of clue given early in literature is called foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is defined in our PDF handout as “A technique a writer uses to hint or suggest what the outcome of an important conflict or situation in a narrative” (Deutsch 2014). In the second...

...Crystal Peraza CIP Paper Susan Owens Com 110-020 February 1st, 2012 My parents have always told me that even as a little girl I was never shy about speaking my mind or saying hello to perfect strangers. In grocery stores I would announce my doubt at my father’s excuse for not buying my favorite cereal; “What do you mean you have no money?! You have a job!” I suppose you could say I embarrassed him quite a few times. As I’ve gotten older, I’m much more mindful of the things I say and to whom I say them. However, I’m just as outgoing, if not more. I am a “perfect” balance of being shy and putting myself out there. It all depends on the context in which interaction is happening. At work, I meet strangers everyday and I don’t mind making conversation with them as I walk them to a table and talking to them as if I’d known them for years. In a new classroom setting, I don’t generally mind being myself—but the shyness of the people around me makes me feel even more reserved. I’m generally very comfortable talking to new people and absolutely love listening and learning about others. It has always been strange to me that as much as I love talking to people, I’m absolutely terrified of speaking in front of them. I’m typically bubbly and fun and the second the spotlight is on me, I get very quiet and feel terribly awkward. As I go on with the speech, it gets worse because I’m worried that people see me as some shaky freak. One thing that I would hope this class could...

...Molly DuPuis 10/3/14 Mrs. McKinnon English 112 Blood Bath A very recent study by AAA Foundation, using driving stimulators, says that talking on the phone while driving shows the same behavior as when you drink and drive. They also found out that when people talk on the phone and drive they are more likely to get into an accident than someone drinking and driving. The ad that was chosen for this paper is the ad against talking on the phone and driving. This ad had many points to consider when choosing it. They go against women in this ad, even though it based on only one women in the ad. They really depict why it is so bad to talk on the phone and drive and what it can do to you and your family if something bad were to occur because of it. They also show an amazing and eye catching effect of blood within the ad that makes you really focus on it when first seeing it. After reviewing the ad, it has both good and bad features to it. The woman, and only seen person in the ad, is an Indian lady in a kitchen that is reacting to the phone call she just received. The placement of the woman really shocked me. They put her in the kitchen, “where women are supposed to be”. This lit a spark showing how disrespectful ads can be against sex, race, and religion. They did not think about how the ad looked towards women. The saying had a lot to do with that disrespect. They used “he”, as if women cannot drive. They also made it seem as if it was her fault that she called him. Did he call...

...paragraph. All of the sentences sound the same. I can get lost trying to rearrange the sentences as I read so I can get the writers point. Paragraph five is the total opposite. I had no problem getting what the writer is trying to say. The paragraph flowed smoothly from beginning to end. The first sentence leads way to the next and throughout the paragraph. The writer used sentence variety by asking questions and grabbing the readers’ attention. Theirs one thing that I would change about paragraph five is the last sentence; I would use something that does not sound the same as the first sentence. Paragraph five I think is the best written of the two. In the feedback from WritePoint there were many suggestions on my final paragraph. One of the suggestions was in my first sentence, I used the word “feel” to describe what I think of the difference between the two paragraphs that I reviewed; Writepoint gave me a clearer writing suggestion saying,“ if “feel” is used in the sense of “to believe or think”, it is a cliché and vague; use believe or think.” I think that this is a great suggestion. I was trying to have variety in my words but “feel” is not the right word to be used there. Another suggestion that I found to be helpful was on sentence eleven. I wrote “one thing I would change about paragraph five that is the last sentence”. Write point said, “Wordiness: see if you can remove “that” or “that is”. After looking at the sentence I revised it to say, “One thing that I...

...Timeless Icon was a research paper about Clint Eastwood being timeless icon or Spurious Miscreant. In the beginning the author explains what movies he plaid that made him the best there was. Towards the middle of the paper is explains why he could be spurious miscreant. This is a well written research paper because of its well formatted and organized paragraphs. This paper also shows a great amount of organization within the paragraphs, proper APA citations and references, strong content, and good grammar and spelling. The paragraphs are on track with what they need to be and are very thorough. I would give this research paper for an A- because it’s a well written paper, it just needs some tweaks. It’s not a profession paper, it’s more of a “laid back” and persuasive paper. A well-organized paper should have a paragraph with one main point, not multiple. Each of these paragraphs explain one point. The introduction paragraph explained what the paragraph was going to be about, which in this case how timeless icons can change history. When the author wanted to use a long quote in the paper he did formatted to the proper way. The author changed the topic of the when he switched to talking about spurious miscreant, which he did the proper way and stayed on topic with the negatives towards him....

...gender talk more has always been an intense argument. It does not be too difficult to determine the numbers of people believed that the female did much more conversations than male. There is an article ‘Women Talk Too Much,’ which wrote by Janet Holmes who a professor of sociolinguistics at the Victoria University of Wellington. 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...

...the Workforce In today’s society texting, e-mails, twitter, facebook, and many other forms of communication have evolved. Throughout these technological advances come many different forms of communication. Since the evolution of texting, people have evolved to say things faster and in less wording to make their point get across. But over the last several years, the workforce has taken these texting acronyms and lingos to their jobs and it’s not going well. Because of this, people can’t communicate efficiently or affectively and companies are noticing. What’s worse is that it seems to get worse and worse and people are becoming very lazy and illiterate about proper English. If this keeps up, companies will suffer from poor communication and we could see a change in how English is perceived today. To begin, the whole era of texting in acronyms and smile faces and extra symbols started with teens. Always in a hurry to say what’s on their mind, teens started inventing faster ways to communicate to one another. At first it was a great idea if you needed to send a quick message to your sibling or friend. But soon it evolved into that’s how teens started writing their papers and became more illiterate. Now as these young generations are hitting the workforce, companies aren’t taking a liking to it. Because the older generation didn’t grow up texting all day they don’t understand what some of the acronyms mean. It also makes it very hard to read when words are left out and sentences...
