Often dating means no more than getting to know one another and having some fun. It is often the beginning of a friendship with someone whom you may like but not necessarily marry. Dating is not as serious in America as it is in some countries, but it is important because every person has the freedom to choose his own marriage partner, one with whom he hopes to spend the rest of his life. Dating is one way to accomplish that goal. Where do most Americans go...

...What are some ways in which receivers of messages provide feedback when listening to or reading a message? What effect does this have on the message? Provide examples. The first distinction we need to make is that hearing and listening are in fact different. This is highlighted in chapter five Listening and Responding from our e book Communicating in the workplace. According to Cheesebro, Connor, and Rios (2010), listening, in contrast, involves making a choice. You must decide that you want to listen to a message. That said, a receiver can provide valuable feedback based on the message sent. Sometimes the feedback is positive and sometimes it is negative, but ultimately it is valuable regardless. Feedback can be provided both verbally and non-verbally. A verbal response happens when a receiver answers a question from the sender or asks a question of the sender if they don’t understand the message or seek further information. A non-verbal response can come in the form of body language. If the receiver doesn’t agree with the message or think the message is a waste of their time they may roll their eyes and the sender. If the receiver likes what they hear they may smile at the sender. Either of these example are ways feedback could be given to the sender. Allowing for feedback helps foster a positive environment within a team. It allows the person or team a chance to provide input on the message that was given. This helps morale and helps keep the person engaged...

...the Siverson Lounge here at Augustana University. The event title was ASL open house, and I attended from 5:30-7 P.M. Going into an experience like a Deaf event my nerves were running high for fear of the communication barrier that somewhat persists. I had previously learned from ASL-110 that the Deaf community is very welcoming to new signers, but my anxiety level does not seem to quite understand that concept. I feel much more comfortable signing and communicating with people who are on the same skill level that I am, but the requirements state otherwise so I branched out to find new people to communicate with. While attending the Deaf event I signed with a few old classmates that I had gotten to know fairly well from my interim class. But along with those friends, I signed to Brooke, an interpreting major, and Leroy, a Deaf person who lives here in Sioux Falls. I felt that it was much easier to understand Brooke because she was very animated with her signing. She told a group of us about her experiences as an interpreting major and how she took a level two class before a level one and it was the worst mistake of her...

...people of various cultures and backgrounds. In today’s world communication with people from other culture has become even more important because of factors like globalization due to which people from various parts of the world come together and interact. Personally, I have had a tough time communicating myself. I am an International student at my University. The place where I grew up, the language I use and the whole cultural value that I have been taught and brought up with is entirely different from what it is over here in the United States. It is not just one instance where I have had tough time communicating with Americans. It is an everyday struggle to get my messages understood by the people I am talking with. One personal instance mostly strikes my mind when I think about having hard time with inter-personal communication. It involved me and a couple of friends from my country trying to communicate with another international student from China here at Southeastern. She was from an entirely different culture and had her own language and we were from another culture with our own language. Even though our countries are neighbors and we are from the same kind of geography, communicating with her seems so hard and feels like we are from the opposite sides of earth. We were answering about one question she asked. What she was curious was that none of us ate beef and what she wanted to know was why we did not eat beef? Beef is meat produced from cows. Nepalese consider cow a...

...'semiotics is concerned with everything that can be taken as a sign' (Eco 1976, 7). Semiotics undertakes the application of viewing what we accredit as 'signs' in everyday speech, as well as anything which 'stands for' something else. It involves looking at all processes of information’s exchanges as far as signs are involved. Its quite complex as humans have the ability to communicate in many different forms, ranging from talk, text, smell, write, sing and body language. There is a primary hypothesis that ‘All symbolic systems in a culture act as a second language or text’(Innis 1986, 21). Then we place signs and boundaries to allow communication between two people. People are continuously generating and interpreting cues and codes. Even if, you don’t think your communicating, sign processes are always ongoing. As Saussure noted in his work both sound and thought were ‘intimately linked’, with ‘each triggering the other upon being heard’(Chandler 2007, 17). Semiosis was a term which has been taken from Charles Pierce, and latter used by Umberto Eco and he defined it as ‘The action where a culture produces signs and attributes meaning to the signs’(Eco 1976, 11). This has then allowed subjective matter to invade each individual act of semiosis Semiotics is closely linked to film as well, ‘A language, is semiotic process where thought maybe conveyed, however a language system allows a answer for a thought utilizing varying degrees and types of signs and signifiers produced...

...Establishing effective communication with others will play an important aspect throughout this program. As stated in the passage, it will allow “a person to express ideas, share solutions and build trust”. There are many factors to consider to communicating effectively. One of the most challenging will be when sharing ideas using E-mails and forum post. It will be necessary to be clear and precise when conveying information. When communicating by means of technology, there will be a lack of interpreting nonverbal clues such as body posture, eye contact and tone of voice. All in all, it is important to make your statement, defend what you say and site examples to back up your point(s) to avoid misunderstandings. Good communication is meant to benefit all “students in their academic career”. There are many ways one can advance in their studies by collaborating with their peers. For example, it is always good to have a second pair of eyes to look over your work and to also be receptive to feedback. This will allow both the poster and the reader to consider new facts and ideas. In addition, the sharing of information will also build a sense of trust among colleagues. In addition, good “quality discussion post and proper etiquette in the Discussion Forum” is essential. Students should keep in mind that post should not include computer slang such as: “LOL” or “G2G”. Since we are all professionals, the post should be written in a way that reflects our intelligence. Last but not least...

...We live in a world where people are judged by the way they look, by the way they talk or even by the groups whom they’re associated with. A person who speaks with a deep accent may be judged for speaking “differently”. Language is a great thing. It’s what we use to communicate with others. Each country has different kinds of languages with different accents. Communication is used everywhere in the world. Everyone communicates all the time. But communication is much more than just talking and listening; it involves understanding and interpreting. Language can both include and exclude groups of people through the use of slang, family adaptations, and non-natives. First, there are many types of communication that involve slang everywhere in the world. Professional communication or slang in my opinion, is the way someone speaks naturally rather than trying to sound high class or use big words. Just because someone knows bigger, broader words doesn’t make it professional. In George Orwell’s essay, Politics and the English language, he states how language is full of bad habits when he says, “Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation.” This is true because bad habits do stick, just like slang. The world communicates with slang which makes it hard for some to communicate. Professional communication can be looked at as a way in which someone presents themselves, rather than the way they speak. There is no legitimate...

...Communicating with Deaf Children By Nicole M Wyche January 18, 2010 Communicating with Deaf Children Who has the ability to define who or what illiteracy is? Researchers and doctors define illiteracy as “the absence of knowledge that involves but is not confined to graphic marks. It has been contended that the term may also apply to the difficulty one experiences in interpreting and using written materials in a variety of contexts, as well as the inability to take part in a literate culture despite having mastered its written symbols.” (Massone) The question now is who is categorizes as being illiterate? Are people placed in this category because of their physical traits i.e learning disabilities, handicaps or because of they just cannot understand i.e not wanting to learn. In the article Deaf Children’s Construction Writing by Maira Massone she discusses how “various studies have focused on different aspects of the "conquest of the written language" by deaf children and teenagers. Stressing their competence in and need for visual communication, this research therefore calls for the rejection of oralism in favor of the new ways of knowing made possible by today's essentially visual media and multimedia. In speaking of writing as a language or a mode of language, we mean far more than simply communicating.” So are deaf children illiterate because they don’t have the ability to speak or learn at the same speed as other children. No they’re not, just...
