...mold the personality and behavior of a child for the good. I believe that ideal parents should be of good moral character, good listener and patience. Parents should have good moral character, because they are the role models of children. It has been known that children are the reflection of their parent’s trait. For instance, my parents do not smoke, gamble or drink. They express virtue in all their actions. They taught us how to respect to elders, and be sensitive to other people’s feelings all the time. They have been my idol all my life, because they were able to raised six children so well and none of us went astray. Furthermore, being a good listener is very important. When parents have time to listen to their children, the communication is open between parties. To illustrate, my brother failed his science subject in school. My parents did not judge or scold him, instead they talked to him and listened to his concerns. They found out that he did not understand his lesson well because of his assigned seat. He was sitting next to an air conditioner, and it bothered him. Having patience has a lot to do with parenting. Although children behavior gets out of hand sometimes due to certain issues like mood, parents exert extra mile of patience to comfort them with love and care. For example, my sister when she was in her elementary years, she refused to attend school. My mother was always late for work, because of my sister’s action. She would always try to bribe her with...

...Topic 1 Introduction to Communication 1.1 WHAT IS COMMUNICATION? Communication is a learned skill. Communication is defined as the giving, receiving or exchanging of information, opinions or ideas so that the message is completely understood by everybody involved. The sender sends a message out 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. This process, repeated continuously, constitutes communication. ➢ Elements in Communication There are several major elements in the communication process - a sender, message, channel, receiver, feedback, context. There is both a speaker’s intention to convey a message and a listener’s reception of what has been said. If you want to get your message across accurately, you need to consider three things: - The message; - The audience or receiver; and - How the message is likely to be received. ➢ Factors Affecting Communication Barriers to effective communication:- (a) Status/Role (b) Cultural Differences (c) Choice of Communication Channels (d) Length of Communication (e) Use of Language (f) Disabilities (g) Known or Unknown Receiver (h) Individual Perceptions/Attitudes/Personalities (i) Atmosphere/Noise/Distraction (j) Clarity of Message (k) Lack of Feedback 1.2 DEFINING WRITTEN COMMUNICATION - Oral communication involves conveying ideas, thoughts or information...

...Strategies One of the most important elements of success of an organization is communication. Communication allows people from every part of the globe to come together and work toward a common goal. Communication is essential to an organizations success and because of this, it is important to have various communication methods. People will respond to communication methods differently, what works on one person will not necessarily work on another. Management must have an understanding of the people within the organization, without this knowledge, the ability to communicate effectively will be hampered. Some of the things that must be taken into consideration concerning communication include different age groups, ethnicities, gender differences, non-native English speakers, people with disabilities and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifics, and expatriates. Management that has a working knowledge of how to communicate with these different groups will have a decided advantage. Different Age Groups Communication styles have changed through the generations. In years past, it was common for people to visit each other at their homes or to call on the telephone; later generations e-mailed one another, and still later generations text message or Facebook one another to keep in touch. If management knows what age groups are working within its organization helps to determine what type of communication strategies to use. For instance, instead of having the mentality of this...

...An Exploration of English Euphenism Euphemism 2014/02/13 Wang yusheng Introduction 1.1 The definition of euphemism 1.2 The features of euphemism The relationship among Euphemism, Language and Culture The comparison about English and Chinese Euphemisms Conclusion References Introduction 1.1 The definition of Euphemism Oral communication is one of the important ways to maintain the interpersonal relationship. People usually use some polite words to take the place of the rude ones in order to express idea more easily, make communication go more smoothly and avoid the offensiveness in communication. For this reason, euphemism is created. Euphemism is an ordinary linguistic phenomenon in the culture and plays an vital important role in the oral communication. Euphemism comes from the Greek. “eu” means good, pleasant, and “pheme” means speech. Consequently, euphemism means “to speak with good words or in a pleasant manner” (Neaman and Silver, 1990). 1.2 The features of euphemism 1.2.1 National features There are a lot of different surroundings and social environment in different countries. Whatʼs more different countries have different manners and cultures. Therefore, euphemism in different language has some different features. 1.2.2 Regional features There are different customs in different regions although they speak the same language.

...What is communication? Communication is the process of sharing information, thoughts and feelings between people through speaking, writing or body language. Communication then becomes effective when the information given is understood by the person who it was given to. Communication is vital when it comes to healthcare by effectively providing information to the patients and their families and also conversing with employees in directing proper health care facilities. Communication may be the key to exceptional patient care. The case can be made that good communication is at the heart of patient safety, cultural sensitivity, and the pillar of healthcare. Aligning a patient’s wishes and goals with treatment plans is 50% conveying and 50% listening. • How does effective communication incorporate the basic elements of communication? “If communications accelerated with big developments in medical science—diagnostic and surgical innovations, personalized medicine, and blockbuster drugs—it was spurred on by a trend at least as big: the rise of the healthcare consumer, “(Hicks & Nicols, 2012). It is important to have a good listening and understanding that good listening is often enough. Sometimes the patient or family member actually wants an answer to their question when, indeed, they only want me — as the listener — to listen to them. Before something is said, it should be well thought out and then spoken. When a consumer/patient becomes upset, try to reason with that person...

...Jennifer Hall, Housekeeper Date: December 27, 2011 Subject: Communication Assistance Attached you will find my proposal to implement communication assistance in the housekeeping department. I feel that with this little extra effort on my part, we are able to accomplish this assistance. The housekeeping department currently has many non-English speaking employees. With the communication assistance I have planned out it will not only benefit our department but also the Marriott. With all the hard work it could be a company wide acceptance for a new policy. There is a possibility that when this is complete the other employees could step in and help with defining the process. Doing this as a whole department will make all the employee’s feel like they are a big part of this accomplishment. This will also boost the ego of the department which will enhance customer service. As I have understood you have tried this before but it was not effective. With the hard work that I have put into this we will make it successful for everybody. So with the existing information and new information we have a much better chance of success.

...productive working environment. Training employees on the benefits of communicating among themselves should be one of the primary concerns to the multicultural workforce. Not only is communication among co-workers important, but it can help to eliminate frustrations among co-workers and it can also help in the avoidance of serious safety hazards. If you have workers who cannot communicate well, and do not understand the safety regulations and requirements that the company has enforced, they could be endangering themselves and others as well. Communication barriers can easily affect a company and its employees. According to Myelita Melton, president of SpeakEasy Communications, who specializes in diversity education, there are several ways to communicate with employees who speak different languages. These strategies are: 1. Ask questions 2. Offer English instruction 3. Study important words 4. Hire a translator Asking questions to those who do not speak English is helpful in communicating clearly. One does not want to ask someone who does not speak English a basic “yes” or “no” question. Ask questions that will have to be answered with certainty and is not easily misinterpreted or ask open-ended questions. Some employers offer programs to their employees so that they may learn English. Paying for courses or providing an instructor to teach...

...Joni Riker Communication Opinion June 16, 2014 HCS/320 Instructor Kelly Hernandez To start with the basics to good communication are The Sender, The Receiver, The Message, The Channel and The Feedback. To start with the Sender must obviously initializing communication. The Sender needs to use effective techniques to make sure that his or her message weather verbal or nonverbal is understood so the Sender gets what her or she wants. They must have their points organized to make it easy for the other people to follow and to speak or write clearly. If speaking to someone be sure to make eye contact with them, also use proper grammar and to give the other people accurate information. They also need to have some sort of understanding of the person or persons that will be receiving their messages so it can be modified. Next is the Receiver. The Receiver is who the message is transmitted to. The receiver must be able to concentrate and listen very carefully so as to not miss any information. Never get distracted or do more than the task at hand because you will not get all the information accurate that way. Then you have the Message itself. The message can be in many forms, such as oral presentation, document, advertisement or a memo or voicemail. The message is never what the sender wants its how the receiver perceives it. The Channel is basically what it sounds like. How the message gets from point A to point B. This can be in any form. It can be via email, a note...
