...Demonstrative Communication BCOM/275 Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative communication can be defined as verbal and non-verbal actions direct or indirect connection with other people. Communication is a way to transmit feelings or thoughts; it is a process of transferring information between a sender and a receiver. It involves replacing ideas, messages or information given. Verbal communication however is straight to the point because when one is speaking you can hear the sincerity or the sarcastic implies within their voice. Demonstrative communication centers on the nonverbal and unwritten forms of how communication is shared among an individual or group by using facial expressions, a certain tone of voice and body gesture which is primarily used to enhance our verbal communications. By using hand gestures during a lecture, we can keep the attention of our audience. However, if we move too much it becomes a distracter and received as a negative effect, thus causing our audience to become distracted and not receive our message. Using a drone monotone voice has a negative impact as there is the chance of quickly losing the attention of the group he is addressing, it will put your class at ease, and they will not get the full effect of the course. As we change our tone and tempo of talking, we can connect with the audience. When we speak, other people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. When speaking to an audience maintaining the focus...

...Demonstrative Communication Billie Spring BCOM 275 June 6, 2011 Demonstrative Communication Communication is the process of sharing information, thoughts and feelings between people through speaking, writing or body language. Effective communication is when information is transmitted by the sender is received and understood by someone in the way it was intended. Demonstration communications occurs when someone uses ways to communicate other than their voice. This is done by facial expressions, body language, eye contact, or gestures. I will refer to demonstrative communication in this article as nonverbal communication. When using verbal and nonverbal communication together, similar messages must be sent or else the receiver will become confused. The sender must have some emotional self-awareness and an ability to send the nonverbal signs that address his feelings. When engaged in communication, you must be fully aware and pay attention because if you are distracted, chances are you will miss subtle nonverbal signals. I remember as a supervisor in the military Soldiers would come to my office to discuss their problems. I would listen to them talk while facing the computer and continuing to work. My actions showed I was not paying attention. The problem with nonverbal communication is that people tend to misread it, or the sender sends confusing nonverbal signals. Improving your nonverbal communication skills will impact your overall emotional intelligence....

...Demonstrative Communication BCOM/275 Fidgeting, looking down at the floor, eye contact, lack of eye contact, blushing, a touch on the arm, the tone or pitch of a person’s voice, these are all a forms of communication. This communication type is demonstrative communication. Rather than the spoken or written word people can communicate in other ways, such as signals and movements. According to Krauss (2002) “Communication occurs when signals carry information-bearing messages between a source (sender) and a destination (receiver)” (p. 1). These messages do not necessarily have to be verbal but can be carried between sender and receiver in the form of demonstrative communication involving facial expressions, body language, or the pitch of person’s voice rather than the spoken word. When someone discusses communication the first thought is generally speaking or verbal communication. According to "Nonverbal Communication Says A Lot" (2012), what people say without words can be more informative than the words they speak. When a person speaks he or she says more with nonverbal communication than they are even aware of, such as with arm and hand gestures, head positions, and facial expressions as well as with body language (para. 1). Much information can be gathered by watching for a person’s nonverbal communication signals. Reactions such as a grimace or frown can indicate displeasure with the information or subject. When someone is talking and gives information, the body language...

...Communication Process Kathy Kirsch BCOM/275 October 17, 2011 Donald M. Marrin The high cost of communication or the lack of, as the case maybe. When a veteran lead truck driver, of 30-plus years, faces a tour manager who has no idea of the transportation logistics of time travel for tractor trailers, the results are explosive as well as expensive. Concert tours consist of many elements that if there is just one hiccup, the domino effect cascades like a waterfall. The transportation logistics is just one piece of many within the structure. Traveling from point A to point B, safely, and on time, is the goal of the transportation element. When just one truck is late with equipment the domino effect starts, costing into the thousands of dollars. Herein sets the scene for lack of communication between sender, the lead truck driver and receiver, the tour manager. From Portland, Oregon, to Chico, California, it is 490 miles, nine hours of driving. That is an average speed of 54.4 miles per hour for nine hours non-stop. That is on flat, straight land. Between Portland and Chico, there are two mountain ranges to cross with an elevation of six to seven thousand feet. If a semi is loaded heavy, traveling speeds up the inclines can get down to 25 to 30 mph. There goes the average traveling speed needed to reach destination within that nine hours. Time needed would be 11 hours of driving for the semi. Another consideration that the speed limit throughout California...

...Trapped Inside the Chilean Mine Collapse! Allen, Tanya BCOM/275 6 March 2012 Professor Polokoff In this paper will be discussed the Chilean Mine Collapse. “On August 5, 2010, a small copper operation in northern Chile owned by Minera San Esteban Primera, suffered a cave-in, leaving about 30 workers trapped underground” (Weik). The workers have been trapped for weeks prior to anyone discovering that everyone was alive and needed assistance. The workers are trapped at a depth of around 300 meters. Two days supply of food stretched more than 2 weeks in mine. Critical thinking, endurance, and staying calm were just a few processes took in place by the workers. Taking into consideration the different roles and audiences involved in this tragedy, everyone involved must remain calm in order to accelerate this operation. What would be the potential needs of the families of the miners in receiving a message about this incident? The potential needs of the families would be to get their family members together so you only have to tell it once, they’re to be told the truth no matter how limited the information is at the time or bad it may seem to be. Second would be providing the families with a piece of mind. Ensuring the families that their loved ones, husbands/wives, dads/moms, and friends are going to be okay can alleviate likely worry and harm to the workers. Getting some counselors in there to help everyone cope with the hardships that are occurring. Informing the families...

...Article Rebuttal BCOM 275 January 23, 2012 Abstract Article Name: Why Abortion is right even if it’s wrong: Author: Richard X. Thripp Article Rebuttal The author, Richard X. Thripp, begins the article by stating “going down a hypothetical path where abortion is ethical and just, despite knowing it isn’t” ( para1). I do not agree with this statement because I believe women should have the right to decide having an abortion or not. Do I feel abortion should be used as a form of contraception; no I do not. If a woman knows she does not have the means or desire to care for a child, abortion should be an option of choice. Do I feel this is an extreme measure; yes I do but under certain circumstances it may be the only option. Just because a pregnancy is unwanted there are different avenues that could be considered such as adoption. Abortion is not illegal so therefore woman can consider this option. The author gives a definition from the American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary, which states the definition of fetus to be “the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after conception to the moment of birth”(para.2). With this definition identified alone, the author contradicts his own views because according to this definition, he should be accepting of abortions conducted prior to the eighth week of pregnancy. This statement could be viewed as a deductive argument that is invalid and creates a logical error within the statement. In the statement regarding the...

...Misunderstandings in Communication Chrystal Granado April 03, 2014 BCOM/275 Mrs. Misunderstandings in Communication Misunderstanding #1 Who was the sender? My Sargent Who was the receiver? Myself What was the message? My Sargent was trying to communicate directions to me of the medical building I had to drop this urgent lab paperwork off to. What channel was used to send the message? Face to face conversation What was the misunderstanding that occurred? His directions on what building to go to was clear, but as for where exactly I was supposed to drop off the lab paperwork off at when I finally got there was not so clear. All he had said was to “Drop the papers of at the first clinic to the right, once you walk in the building, you can put them in their box.” So I did exactly that. I ended up dropping the papers off to the wrong clinic though because it was supposed to be dropped off at the women’s clinic and I dropped it off at the primary clinic. The clinics had switched their locations in the hospital a week earlier. I didn’t know because when you drop off paperwork, you drop it in a drop box, which it only said drop box. Therefore, since it was dropped off at the wrong location, it was not processed correctly, which made it late for the Commander. Since this happened, the Commander had to locate the paperwork, get it to the right location, and have them expedite it back to him. I ended up finding out that the paperwork was for a solider that was wounded. How could the misunderstanding...

The San Jose mine in northern Chili, collapsed, trapping 33 miner. The is owned by Minera San Esteban Primera. This was the third collapse since 2007. The miners were trapped 9842 feet under the ground. They had very little food, water and oxygen. According to Raul Villegas, who barely escaped the mine collapse, at approximately 2:00 pm that day, dust was filling the cavern, but he was only mildly concerned because that was a normal occurrence. However, as he got closer to the surface, he and his truck was almost over taken by a bigger cloud of dust, in circling him in dirt and darkness. Raul stated that he just made it out of the cavern when the mine collapsed. He goes on to state that it felt like a dynamite explosion, with an immense wave. He did report the incident to his supervisors, but it was hours later that the company notified the authorities. He and other workers tried to enter the cavern to start a recue effort but they soon realized that the ramp to enter the cavern had disappeared. The regions six-person special operations squad then triesd to enter the cavern arounf 9:00 pm, but returned around 6:00 am the next morning empty handed, shaken and drenched in sweat.

...Miscommunicating in the Workplace BCOM/275 05/21/2012 Steve Hynds Miscommunication and misunderstandings happen all the time in the home, workplace and even when we are in our favorite store. Today I am going to focus on a few examples of miscommunications and misunderstandings that I have experienced in the workplace. At times the miscommunication could be at the fault of the sender or receiver with the misinterpretation of the message delivered or received and other times it could be that the information given is correct but it is not used for its intended manner. Example 1: Misuse of Correct Information In one of my positions at a major bank, I was a telephone (the channel) support representative for the branches. I had a caller (the receiver) ask me (the sender) a basic policy question about how to stop a direct deposit from going into an account incorrectly. I advised him that he needed to contact the appropriate department and also gave him the phone number to complete this task (the message). Several weeks later his manager happened to get me on the line. She was calling in because of the actions of this employee based on information he received from my department. I was able to verify that it was me that spoke to him and asked her to simply ask me the same question because the policy is the policy and my response should be the same regardless. The question was the same and my response was the same but the banker had taken the correct information and...
