...Avoiding Eye Contact When you don't look someone in the eyes, it can signal deception or a lack of respect. Slouching Bad posture signals to others that you lack confidence and have poor self esteem or low energy levels. Weak Handshake A handshake that isn't firm will signal a lack of authority. One that is too firm could make you seem overly aggressive. Folding Arms This stance creates a sense of being closed off and may signal to others that you are disinterested in them or don't buy into their message. Looking Down If giving a presentation, when you look down while making a point, it loses all of its power and can may you look weak. In everyday interactions, it can make you look uncomfortable or self-conscious. Angling Body Away From Others Too much physical distance, angling the body away from the person you're speaking with or not leaning into a conversation shows that you are uncomfortable, distrustful or disinterested in the subject. Fidgeting And Touching Hair Fidgeting and playing with hair or clothes can reveal an excess of energy, which signals discomfort or anxiety. Invading Others' Space When you are closer than 1.5 feet away from a colleague or you treat their possessions and office space as if it were your own, it signals disrespect and that you don't have a clear understanding of personal boundaries. Glancing At The Clock Glancing at the clock or at your watch or even looking past a person who you're speaking with will communicate disinterest...

...CRITICAL THINKING/EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION PAGE 1 OF 3 DRUG TESTING FOR WELFARE CRITICAL THINKING/EFFECTIVE COMMUNIATION PAGE 2 OF 3 In the following paper I will discuss the topic of welfare and is it fair to drug test for welfare. I will go into the pro’s and con’s of the subject and why I disagree with this article on the stance that it is not fair to drug test the applicants for welfare. The main premise of the article, by the author, is to state the stance that it is not fair to drug test applicants. That the stigma of people who use welfare is already bad, so now they have to be classified as drug users too. Added to the argument is, are they going to test alcoholics for alcohol or prescription drug users for that as well. While I agree that just testing for drugs should not be the end all be all, I think that it is an important step in weeding out certain people from the people who really need it. Let’s look at the facts; there is no real way to police people from using welfare or food stamps properly. It has also been proven that it is widely abused and it is very easy to work the system to get. As a hard working tax payer, it frustrates me that people work the system and get my hard earned money in return. The way I approach this subject and many other subjects is would it be unfair for me or would it violate my rights. I view drug testing for welfare a lot like drug testing for...

...Demonstrative Communiation Student Name BCOM/275 August 6, 2012 Instructor Name Abstract Written communication is interaction that can be done through emails, letters, cards, ads, articles, etc. Communication where written or verbal exchanges of words are not present is known as Demonstrative communication. Sending and receiving messages without words is often used to strengthen the message of verbal communication. These messages can be carried through posture, eye contact, body language, gestures, clothing, and overall appearance. Demonstrative communication can sometimes present a different message than that of the verbal message. This type of communication can also tell someone how you feel about them, in regards to being liked or not, whether or not you are interested in them or not. Certain objects can tell a lot about a person and can sometimes say what they are unable to say for themself. There are certain items that are considered to be items of affection such as jewelry, flowers, and teddy bears. These items when presented to someone else can be a means of apologizing, saying congratulations, expressing condolences, showing support, or saying I love you. It is easy to have a nonverbal conversation when the parties are face to face, and the environment is comfortable or suitable for all involved. Demonstrative communication is of importance with any type of conversation. Nonverbal/demonstrative communication may take place against our own intentions. For example...

Such demographic and psychographic factors as the approximate age, likely gender composition, attitudinal bias or prejudices relating to cultural or religious beliefs; level of education; motivation for listening and prior knowledge of the audience on the topic will all influence the way you compose your communication. Audience analysis can help one gain valuable insight about his/ her readers, which can help to choose and develop a relevant, meaningful topic. It can be used to tailor messages to a specific audience with the appropriate content, language and method of delivery to ensure effective communiation.

...Turning Negative to Positive: African American Portrayal in Media As the day progresses into the late evening hour most of America sits in front of their televisions impatiently waiting to watch their favorite shows. From prime time television to viral videos on YouTube, media has become one of the most influential areas of life. The clothes we wear, slogans we say, and actions we portray are all influenced by media. For example, in 2012 “Ain’t nobody got time for that” became a popular slogan which transcended from a news interview that went viral. Although the slogan was catchy, it became famous more so for the way it was presented. The interviewee was an African American female who was a victim of a house fire. With the female being very passionate and animated while speaking in an urban accent, it provided for great entertainment. Sadly, that news interview lacked the appropriate representation of African Americans. The way media portrays a certain message “can have an inordinate influence on the public’s perception of blacks” (Holt 6). Audiences have been a witness to negative portrayal of African Americans since the days of “blackface”, where Caucasian American actors painted their faces black to depict African Americans. According to blog author Michelle Whalen, “now, more than ever, images of African Americans are transcending racial stereotypes and forging ahead into the fight for equality” (1). In the past two decades, media has been successful in providing positive...

Client: Yeah you’re company promised me a delivery on Tuesday and now its Saturday and its still not here. Do you have any idea what kind of problems this is causing me?!! Employee: Maam please, Calm Down. Client: Calm down? Don’t tell to calm down. If you’re company would’ve done what you promised we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Instead of focusing on the customer’s concern, Jennifer instructed the customer how to react which led to an argument. Patience is one of the toughest skills to hone especially if it doesn’t come naturally. This call could’ve been handled much better watch this. Employee: Thanks for calling Max express, this is Jennifer. Client: Yeah you’re company promised me a delivery on Tuesday and now its Saturday and its still not here.

Likewise, this project bears an imprint of all those who helped us at various stages and it would be unfair on our part not to thank them. The successful completion of this project could not have been possible without the co-operation and encouragement of our Class Mentor and Faculty, Mrs. Kokil Jain and Mrs. Meenakshi Malhotra who provided us with their unending support from the very beginning of the project, which helped in the timely completion of the project. The faculty members at AIBS, who continued to have an impact on our thinking which helped us to complete this project. And all other staff members at the institute.
