...Have you ever attend any talk that requires ones to speak in front of hundreds or maybe thousands of audience? Of course the answer is yes, right? What do you think about the speaker? How does he or she speak? Interesting? Not interesting? Did you being attentive? If not, why? Do we have to put the blame on the speaker for not being good enough as a public speaker? A boring speaker will definitely causes a boring speech. Thus, what does it takes for one to be a good speaker? What must you have to be a good speaker? I am here to write and to tell you the secrets to be an interesting public speaker as it will ensure you are delivering presentations that will influence, inspire, and make a meaningful impact on your audience. Do you think that being a public speaker is only about reading notes or points from your flash cards?

One must know that, to be an effective speaker, you must first understand who you are as a speaker and as a person. What are your strongest interpersonal qualities? Do you have good interpersonal skills? How do you best connect with others? What qualities do you need to work on? The most effective speakers are constantly working to capitalize on their strengths whether that’s great storytelling or a talent for getting the audience to participate and even to improve upon their weaknesses. Tapping into your most powerful interpersonal qualities is an excellent way...

...1) Coca-Cola Company announced in 1985 that they were going to change the brand name as well as the original taste of the cola; the very distinct and original taste that was known to the customers for almost a hundred years. Coca-Cola’s loyal customers were extremely unhappy that their trusted brand was making changes and reacted to this inundating the company with dissatisfaction, defending Coca-Cola like they held a private stake in the company. One group in Seattle threatened to sue the company. The company understood that this and along with the outpour of customers who did not want the change listened and decided not to change the brand name nor the taste. “Attitude represents a person’s favorable or unfavorable feelings toward the object in question”. Since Coca-Cola has been a staple cola in the homes of people everywhere for over a hundred of years becoming part of the family both daily and during holidays, Coca-Cola became a tradition among the brand loyal, meaning the customer became attached or had bonded with the product and a change of this size, out of the blue, would have a negative impact. This relationship with the product crossed the limits of simple loyalty. There is a variety of choices for a customer, although anyone loyal to Coca-Cola can attest to the one main reason for sticking with the brand, taste. Coca-Cola has a very distinct taste compared to their competition, which all taste the same from one cola to another in my opinion anyway. Therefore, a...

...Hi, I’m Amy and today I’m talking about how the younger generations are being taught all the wrong morals. What do we mean when we talk about morals? Why have we allowed the younger generations to become morally unkept? Who is at fault for them becoming like this? Who is supposed to teach the younger generation the right morals? Parents. Teachers. Peers. How have we allowed society to become so dysfunctional? All we ever see on the news these days are teenagers committing atrocious crimes and getting away with just a slap on the wrist, or getting away with it full stop because the general public are scared of the repercussions. A 16 year old boy from Texas was drunk driving when his car hit another vehicle and four other people stood at the side of the road, seven were injured in total. Earlier that night the teen and his friends were caught on surveillance cameras stealing two cases of beer. According to the courts it wasn’t his fault as he suffers with a ‘condition’ called Affluenza. Affluenza is an excuse used when referring to young people who have grown up wealthy and are apparently not ‘responsible’ for their actions, therefore justifying their poor behaviour on somebody else part and taking no responsibility for themselves. We are indirectly teaching the younger generation that there are no consequences to their actions and this needs to change. Professor A.C Hopkinson from the University of Cambridge says “The youth of today are surrounded by many influential...

...II. Demographic Paragraph on your topic, statement of the problem, delineation of a human diversity issue. (To be submitted in the 8th week) By now, you should be able to articulate a clear topic title of your management project. Create an introduction to your topic by defining a problem/issue that is encompassed by your two readings. Using the Tentative Annotated bibliography and topic statement from week 3, expand your discussion of the connections of your topic to the required components for the project: Systems Theory Model, human diversity, some aspect of family or consumer resource management. After you have developed the connections, delineate the problem/issue by highlighting statistics and facts that make this an important problem or issue for which the class should be concerned/interested. You should go outside the two articles that you have read to find this information. An example might be citing such things as “1 of every 2 marriages ends in divorce” to focus attention on how frequently the marital system breaks down to introduce why you are focusing on how to make a marriage last. Note: this assignment is to total approximately 400 words. (Make sure to identify a source for your statistics/facts that is other than the two articles read.)

...Dear Mr. President, As you know, civic and political participation is important. It allows any citizen to be active in the government. Some people in the world are more active than others. One of those people happens to have been Dorothea Dix. I am writing you to see if there is any way we could acknowledge what Dix did for the people of our country. Dorothea Dix was born in Hampden Maine in 1802. Her journey began when she witnessed the horrible conditions of a women’s prison in Massachusetts. She saw how the prisoners, especially the mentally ill, were being treated, and knew she had to make a change. She spent the next 40 years of her life trying to improve conditions. Dix began traveling throughout the state to research the conditions of other prisons. She gathered information that she then presented to the Massachusetts legislature. By doing this, she managed to get more money for the expansion of the State Mental Hospital. Although this itself was a major accomplishment, she wasn’t satisfied. She then traveled all over the country doing more research such as the conditions of the prisons, and the treatment of the patients. She started campaigning to create humane asylums and succeeded in quite a few states. Next, Dix decided to go to congress. She wanted them to grant her more than 12 million acres of land to use for the benefit of the mentally ill. Both houses of congress approved the bill, but it was vetoes by President Franklin Pierce in 1854. Dix was less than...

...in other wards people come to the United States with the hope of getting a better life and achieving the ultimate “American Dream”. Indeed the United States being a developed country and having one of the best economy has favourable living conditions in comparison to other parts of the world. This was not the basic reason back in the 17thand 18th century where America was more so a dump place for the poor or people trying to escape harsh governments. Immigration into America is still going on to this very day and it has become an issue amongst many who claim that it is impacting the country in a negative way. Is immigration really having a negative impact in the United States? Perhaps Immigration does have its pros and cons. All together I do agree that there are a lot of effects of a large movement of people into the United States. One of them largely being the variety of races that has made America a uniquely diversified nation that it is today. One of the races being Iranian American that’s purely an immigration group considering that they all came from the Iranian Republic....
