...Demonstrative Communications Jeremy Gill BCOM275 5/18/2012 Kamal Faour Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative communication is explained as the process of sending and receiving messages from a sender to a receiver by expressing how he or she may be feeling and thinking and involves exchanging thoughts, messages, or information. People communicate in different ways, with the three typical types being verbal, nonverbal and visual (Nayab, 2011). We present limited or non-engaging body language; others may interpret that as not having an interest in the interaction. That perception may not be accurate but that is how it may be viewed. This can have a serious impact particularly when during job interviews, client introductions, working with colleagues or networking (SIR,LLC 2012). Demonstrative communication reinforces verbal communication. For example, dressing properly, a firm handshake and a friendly demeanor can speak volumes about the kind of person someone may be at a job interview. If done correctly the interviewer may see that this person is serious about the job in which they are interviewing for. A person can rely on these qualities to reinforce his or her verbal performance. When a person meets someone for the first time, they can tell if the other person is friendly, not only because they say hello, but because they smile, maybe they extend a hand invoking a handshake, and face him or her. A person can better understand what others think about him or...

...Knowing Your Audience and Communication BCOMMS/275 The article Over 30 workers trapped after Chilean copper mine collapse by Weik, 2010 gave a poor accounting of the issue at hand. The flow of the article was poor, and the communication itself offered the copper miner families and employees of the company little information and no clear next steps. During times of emergency, clear and concise communications are critical. Companies should have communication plans in place to act swiftly and effectively in emergency situations. Crisis plans should be developed, ready for use when necessary. It is during these times that companies do not have the luxury to pour through materials and follow long procedures to act on the matter at hand (Woods, 2006) Effective communication is essential in the response and recovery phases of emergency management. It helps with decision making, assists in selecting from the various forms of communication, and identifies gaps in notification and response communications. Employers should communicate with their employees so they can respond in an accurate, professional, and timely manner. They need to know what to do, what steps need to be taken, and how to prioritize key functions (Woods, 2006) In the instance of the Chilean mine collapse, when disaster struck, both the family members of the miners and the employees of the...

...Demonstrative Communication Eira Schweigert BCOMM/275 June 5, 2013 Patricia Munson Demonstrative Communication Communication is as diverse as the many cultures that not only incorporate our personal lives but our professional as well. One of the many facets of communication is demonstrative that include nonverbal and unwritten communication. Nonverbal and unwritten communication consists of body language, facial expressions, tone (vocal variations), and personal style. Author’s Cheeseboro, O’Connor, and Rios (2010) stated (p.7-9) that there are seven types of nonverbal variations of communication: chronemics (use of time), proxemics (use of space), oculesics (eye contact), kinesics (gestures and facial expression), haptics (touch), vocalics (vocal variations), and personal style. Chronemics is how people regard time. Cultural differences and a person’s own sense of timing can influence this. How much time it takes to communicate a message can affect its meaning. Proxemics refers to the distance you stand when talking to others as well as how you regard territory. Different cultures have different variations to the distance they stand when speaking to others. Standing to close can cause another person discomfort and to act defensively which is not conducive to a productive work environment. Territory refers to the relationship to fixed space. One must be aware of personal space and territory when interacting with others. Oculesics is related to territoriality and...

...Pros of Immigration Irineo JR Nunez BCOMM/275 02/19/2015 Wesley Page Pros of Immigration “With over 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally (as of 2012), the issue of illegal immigration continues to divide Americans,” (What Are the Solutions to Illegal Immigration in America?, 2014). I feel this statement should be corrected and instead of the word “divide” it should be “unite”. Reason being is for decades and centuries immigrants around the world have traveled to different countries for the same common goal. To better ourselves and with hard work we will persue to our personal growth. Here in United States, people say that with illegal immigration in our states will have the benift to increase our US economy through additional tax revenue, the increase of money circulation, and low-cost labor. Many Americans despite immigration because immigrants come to United States soil with motivation and replace those who wont perform specific job duties. Illegal immigration can benefit us in numerous ways and according to the website apecsec.org, it states, “Illegal migrants who own real estate properties will be obliged to pay taxes and this will benefit the country where they go. Real estate agents including the brokers will get commission coming from the real estate transactions made between them and the immigrants. Financial & auto insurance loans will make the country’s income even higher,” (Illegal Immigration Pros and Cons, 2014). Also, giving Immigrants...

...Abortion Prohibited Kim Hawkins BCOMM/275 5/20/2013 Barbara Psachos Abortion Illegalized Abortion is murder, plain and simple. It is the extermination of an unborn child. I never did understand how anybody could be pro-abortion but preach others to take responsibility for their actions. So many women look at sexual intercourse as a recreational sport because there is an easy way out. Free clinics and most physicians’ offices you go to offer free birth control options and protection. Why would you not want to take advantage of that? The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate than any other country. “About 820,000 teens become pregnant each year.” (Teen Help 2013) My cousin, a sophomore in high school, once told me that her friends were all sexually active because they knew there was a way out if they were to get pregnant. Is that the message we are trying to send our children? That they do not have to take responsibility for their actions? If these so called “concerned mothers” that petitioned to have all contraceptives removed from the school would take a step back and look at the bigger picture, they would see that just because they removed contraceptives does not mean that these teenagers are going to stop. It just means that they are going to rely on a different method. From my own experiences, I am as fertile as they come. That is how I ended up with my three beautiful children. However, I took the necessary steps to prevent any further pregnancies because...

...Demonstrative Communication Charles Cowan BCOMM 275 June 18, 2012 Dr. Linda Vallejo “Demonstrative communication includes nonverbal and unwritten communication and involves such things as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language.” (University of Phoenix, 2011, Course Syllabus) When you are talking to someone or someone is talking to you. You can tell a lot about how well the person is listening and understands what you are saying. Usually we only focus on what the other person is saying, some people see our whole body as a way to communicate with each other. There are many levels and moving parts in communication. We rely on both verbal and non-verbal forms of communication in order to send, receive, translate and respond to each other (Cheesebro, O’Connor, Rios, 2010). The spoken or written word only comprises of about 7% of our communication with each other. The other 93% is made up of voice quality and non-verbal communication (Heathfield, 2011). When you are talking to somebody and there is no eye contact this can mean several different things such as the listener does not understand what the speaker is talking about or the listener is not interested or intrigued as to what the speaker is talking about. If they are looking at you but have a perplexed look on their face this shows they are listening but also shows a misunderstanding about what the speaker is talking about or what the speaker is saying is utterly wrong or off the...

...Demonstrative Communication Ronald Nicholas BCOMM 275 July 15, 2013 Michael Simmons It is a known fact that people use nonverbal methods to communicate. By using facial expressions, body movements, and the tone and affliction of voices, we can relay information between each other. However, when we communicate this way, there is a possibility of the message creating a misunderstanding because of the inability to either send or receive the message properly. Demonstrative communication is the term used for passing and receiving information utilizing these non-verbal clues. According to "Speech Improvement Resources" (2013), “An effective use of body language, as with other components of communication, is to make it a natural part of your verbal message” (para. 4). People who do not normally speak with their hands should avoid doing so if they are trying to convey an important message. Those receiving it could misunderstand the importance of it. Demonstrative communication involves the process of listening and responding, it can strengthen or weaken the senders’ position, and it can have a negative or positive effect on the receivers understanding of the information. Although it is very important that sender be clear and concise in their delivery, effectively delivering information using nonverbal clues also requires the receiver to listen and respond to the person who initiated the communication. If the sender and receiver...
