...There are many themes in this novel, but family is the one I noticed because of the research and theme project. The many themes that this novel shows are; Identity, Mortality, Family, Guilt and Blame, Betrayal, Art and Culture, Supernatural, and Change. The theme that I picked matches with any family it’s just about their relationships with each other and in this case the Sweetwine’s. Before tragedy struck the twins they were each other's best friends, and the aftermath of their mother’s death split them apart. Other things were happening at the time of Dianna’s (Noah and Jude’s mother) death; like the divorce process with Ben (Noah and Jude's father). “The yelling reaches us. It's loud like the house might break in two. Same as the other times...

I will answer the following questions: How do people communicate? How are verbal and nonverbal communications different? Provide examples. What are challenges in communicating between genders? How might someone of the opposite gender understand similar information differently than you? Provide examples. What are challenges in communicating across cultures? How might someone from another cultural background understand communication styles differently than you? Provide examples. How might you communicate more effectively in diverse environments? Provide examples. How do people communicate? How are verbal and nonverbal communications different? Provide examples. Everyone has a different way of communicate with each other weather you realize it or not. It can range from eye contact, body language, verbal, and nonverbal communication. But, we are going to focus on verbal and nonverbal communication, verbal communication “ Focuses on how you use words and language,” (Engleberg & Wynn, 2010, pp163). Verbal communication is used in many places from the work place, school, and general conversation with a spouse, friends, members of families, and even strangers. Nonverbal communication “refers to message component other than words that generate meanings,” (Engleberg &...

...best friend at the time Melanie introduced me to her new friend that just moved next door to her named Dianna I will never forget her name it is tattoo on my brain forever nor would I forget what she said and did to me. We just came back from lunch and were heading to the art classroom for the last class of the day, that’s when Dianna sat down next to me with the most hate fill face I have ever seen in my entire life with her nose high in the air she said to me “What you looking at Nigger your skin is too dark and ugly to be looking at looking me, you see I’m beautiful and girls like you wish you look like me”. “STOP looking at me or I just might end up looking like you in the future and nobody like me”. With tears in my eyes I push pass her and went to Mrs. A who was a Caucasian teacher. At her desk I told her about what Dianna just said to me, As I was explaining to her what Dianna said she told me to stop making up stories and tell the truth and then she sent me to the principal’s office where I had to write 100 lines saying that “I should always tell the truth. I couldn’t believe it that I was the one who got who got in trouble, the very next day while in P.E Dianna pushed me down off of the jungle Gym and I broke my nose.

Copyright © 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. 64 Part I Basic Group Concepts HETEROGENEOUS GROUPS When you read or hear the word diversity, you may think about race or about people from other countries. The concept of diversity, however, involves much more than country of origin, skin color, or ethnic heritage. When discussing group communication, we use the term diversity in its most general sense—the quality of being different. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines diverse as “made up of distinct characteristics, qualities, or elements.”1 The homogeneous–heterogeneous dialectic is particularly applicable to the study of group membership. As we note in Chapter 1, the prefix homo comes from the Greek language and means “same” or “similar”; hetero means “different.” Thus, a homogeneous...

...Peter Lawrence and Dianna Frazier formed the Fox Venture Partners planned to form a private equity investment pool. They estimated they would be able to pool $100 million from private equity investors each contributing about 5% to 10% of the total fund value. They plan to invest the accumulated fund of $100 million in to 20 separate investments with $5 million in each investment. Issues and problems faced by FVP Lawrence and Dianna conceptualized the formation of “funds of funds” to garner funds from wealthy families and redirect those funds to invest into Venture Capitalist and private equity firms. They have discussed this idea with a number of Venture capitalist firms as well. These firms supported the concept also. On the other hand, their discussions with potential investors were also fruitful. As investors they selected only the HNIs. Being convinced with the merit of their concept, they set out to raise fund for their endeavor. They sent 172 private placement memorandums to 172 selected families. However, they got a very lukewarm response: 1% of the potential investors showed further interest. They cannot wait longer as it’s been 6 months already since they sent their proposal. Dianna foresees disbursement upto 7 years. Hence they need to hurry in fund raising. So what might be the problem? Analysis: First let’s understand the structure and the stakeholders associated with a “fund of fund” concept. So a fund of fund has got two side: 1. Investor: The side from...

...A lawsuit was brought against Tim Clancy by Dianna Goad to recover damages from Clancy’s alleged negligence. While driving, Clancy fell asleep behind the wheel of his pickup truck, crossed the dividing line toward oncoming traffic, and collided with Dianna Goad and her motorcycle (Cheeseman, 2016). This accident severed Dianna’s leg above the knee, caused her to remain in a coma for two weeks, and cost her $368,000 in medical expenses alone (Cheeseman, 2016). In order to determine if Clancy was negligent, one must prove that Clancy owed and breached the duty of care, damages/injuries, and that Clancy was the actual cause (Cheeseman, 2016). Goad must be successful in proving Clancy’s negligence; otherwise, the case will be dismissed. According...

...anything that requires development of an interpersonal relationship with an employee requires face-to-face communication. Urgent matters are best handled in person as well. Because words on a screen lack context, tone, and nonverbal cues, Long Pham emphasized: when in doubt, speak in person.

Having good verbal communication within the workplace can help build good relationships among coworkers and employees, and increase productivity and speed in the workplace.

...BOB7024 Organizational Behavior & Design, Stephen P. Robbins & Timothy A. Judge, Organizational Behavior, 14th edition, 2011, Pearson Education Chapter 1 Case Incident 1: “Data Will Set You Free” Ford CEO Alan Mulally is known for starting meetings by saying “Data will set you free” and for trying to change Ford’s culture to one that is based on increased accountability, more information sharing, and hard metrics. “You can’t manage a secret,” he is also fond of saying. Although it’s not clear whether Mulally’s approach will work at Ford, which is known for its self-contained fiefdoms where little information is shared, some companies have found that managing people according to hard metrics has paid off. Consider Freescale Semiconductor, a computer chip manufacturer based in Austin, Texas. Freescale has discovered that in order to have the right people at the right time to do the right job, it needs an extensive and elaborate set of metrics to manage its 24,000 employees in 30 countries. Of particular concern to Freescale is retention. “There’s no greater cost than human capital, especially in the technology industry,” says Jignasha Patel, Freescale’s director of global talent sourcing and inclusion. “When you’ve got a tenured employee that decides to walk out the door, it’s not just one person leaving, it’s that person’s knowledge and network and skills.” To manage talent and prevent turnover, Freescale holds line managers accountable for recruiting, hiring, and...

...to work very hard starting from group formation, to group communication, group norms, roles, rubrics, and other skills and methods. Throughout this course, I had the chance to experience some wonderful group work. After completing our project, I looked back and was able to see that we had worked a lot in order to succeed in our goal. This class has thought me to be a responsible group member. In the following report I would like to talk about the topics which really pointed out to me, and which have helped me to look at group work differently. In the report I will be talk about group communication, the stages of group formation and what they include, the cultural diversities in groups, and the assessment rubric. Isa N. Engleberg and Dianna R. Wynn, authors of the book “Working in Groups”, define group communication as an “interaction of three or more interdependent members working to achieve a common goal.” From the beginning of the course, this sentence really stood out to me. The word interdependent plays a big role in a group project, and if the group is formed out of non-dependable members, then the group’s goal will most likely not be successful. Another term, which plays a huge role in the groups’ work toward the goal, is synergy. Chapter three of the book defines synergy as a “cooperative interaction of several factors that results in a combined effect greater than the total of all individual contributions.” The books explains that the work done by a group as a whole...

...Time Management | June 12 2014 | | Overcoming The Working Struggle | Ghelarducci – Stephanie Ghelarducci – Stephanie Table of Contents Time Management Strategies 2 Procrastination 3 Defeating Procrastination 4 Overview 4 Time Management According to the article A Personal Approach to Organizational Time Management written by Peter Bregman, “The biggest and most destructive myth in time management is that you can get everything done if only you follow the right system, use the right to-do list, or process your tasks in the right way” (Bregman, 2013). This statement is false because there is so much that must be done and there is not enough time in a day to finish all of the tasks we have at hand. Living in a world filled with all this technology is still not enough to finish our day to day tasks even if we work for every single hour in the day and night (Bregman, 2013). We would still not be able to keep up with our work load along with our personal tasks that must be done, too. Thus, having minimal time in a day is why individuals stress over their work which causes more problems. Mastering time management strategies will help individuals tremendously in their work and personal lives, and decrease the amount of problems that arise in their days due to poor time management skills. Time Management Strategies It takes practice to manage one’s time and there are a number of steps one can take to help him or her in completing their everyday tasks...

...Annotated Bibliography Shin, Grace. "Video Games: A Cause of Violence and Aggression." Serendip. N.p., 4 Jan. 2010. Web. 19 July 2010. . This is a good article for my paper because it discusses how video games cause more violent tendencies in people who play violent video games than people who don’t. It states, with several other good references that people who play violent video games are more prone to repeat what they see in the game. If the game is violent then their heart rate and adrenaline increase which could cause hostility. Sometimes, people actually get desensitized to killing because they do it in video games. Fagin, Claire, Pam Maraldo, and Dianna Mason. "Increasing Public Understanding of Nursing." NursingAdvocacy.org. N.p., 4 Jan. 2007. Web. 19 July 2010. . This article expresses that shows like House M.D., E.R. and Grey’s Anatomy give people a skewed perception of how doctors and nurses actually work. It makes people think that doctors just sit around all day and work on a single case or that nurses don’t really do anything useful. Shelton, Donald E.

It is an increase of expectations in jurors due to watching too many CSI and Law and Order type shows.

I have always known that this job field fits me the most because of my experience in past jobs and the people I have encountered. I hope to gain inner strength and much more effective communicating skills because even though I feel I know how to talk to people I am not always effective when it comes to really listening to the person. I have already learned so much taking all these classes and I have noticed I use what I learn in my everyday lifestyle. I am a good team member and I work as a team when I am put in a situation like that. I really hope to learn from my team members for the future because people learn from people all the time. Learning is the most beautiful thing ever and I appreciate it so much because it has made me the person I am today and it is going to make me an even better person in the future. I hope to use these learning’s from this class in the sense that I can use this in any job I decide to take and just in my everyday life in general. My goals as a group worker are I hope to make a positive impact on the peoples’ lives I interact with. My goals include to take as much help from my group members as much as possible because that is what going to school and interacting with people is. The two items that will be different as a result in taking this class...
