...different households with 4 somewhat different parents and an identical twin brother has absolutely shaped how I communicate with others. I have a lot of art traits from my Dad, Step-mom, and some from my Mom. Initially I wouldn’t label myself with any other culture because there isn’t many traditions, practices, etc. in my family. I personally don’t practice a religion but I do follow hard evidence and so on with science. I’m not the type of person that falsely claims information such as “art, music, or any-common-media is my life”, but I do practice art with music production/writing/playing and graphic design. So after analyzing it a little bit, I would comfortably place myself in an art driven culture, rather than a typical white-young-american-adult culture. So how do I communicate with those of different cultures? I would say that I come off as someone who is fairly reserved. I definitely...

...Effective communication with children, young people and families Good communication is central to working with children, young people, families and carers. It helps build trust, and encourages them to seek advice and use services. It is key to establishing and maintaining relationships, and is an active process that involves listening, questioning, understanding and responding. You should always communicate with them appropriately to match the stage of development, personal circumstances, and needs of the person you’re talking to. It is important to be able to communicate both on a one-on-one basis and in a group. Communication is not just about the words you use, but also about the way you’re speaking and your body language. You need to feel and show empathy and sincerity, and above all, listen. You need to take account of culture and context. For example, you need to be aware and communicate appropriately if English is an additional language, or the child is disabled or at risk of under-achievement or other poor outcomes. Effective communication extends to involving children, young people, their parents and carers in the design and delivery of services and decisions that affect them. It is important to consult the people affected and consider opinions and perspectives from the outset. Another crucial element of effective communication is developing trust between the workforce and children, young people, parents and carers – as well as within different sectors of the workforce...

Effective communication plays a key role in fulfilling these needs and contributes significantly to organizational or business success. In this globalization period effective communication is critical to any organization and can help it in many ways. In fact, communication plays a role in product development, customer relations, and employee management - virtually every facet of a business' operations.

Not being able to ask for what we need or even to understand the needs of others? Generally being unable to communicate might even mean losing a part of ourselves.

...Assignment #2 : Social Justice Young Min JO 57712101 Part I: Analysis of India’s Child Labour Using Maxwell and Young’s Framework INTRODUCTION Child labour has been around since the industrial revolution. There are many different definitions of child labour depending on the organization. The International Labour Organization (ILO) describes child labour as “work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development”. On the other hand, UNICEF describes it as “involved in child labour activities if between 5 to 11 years of age, he or she did at least one hour of economic activity or at least 28 hours of domestic work in a week”. Simply put, it is the employment of children under the minor legal age. The national census in 2011 still found that there were approximately 4.35 million child labourers in India (aged 5-14). By using Maxwell and Young’s framework, I will analyse the child labour force in India. INDIA’S SOCIAL INJUSTICE (MAXWELL) Reading the BBC article on India’s children labour, it is clear that social injustice plays a role. The exploitation, trade, and mistreat of these children all point towards social injustice. According to Maxwell, social injustice is moral unfairness in the division of society’s rewards or burdens. Despite the fact that using children as their labour force is morally wrong, the wage distribution ($2/day) inequity strongly supports the fact that there...

...Barriers To Communication. This report is going to identify barriers within different scenarios, strategies to overcome these barriers and evaluating these different strategies. Scenario 1- you are a nurse at Stafford Hospital. Maggie, aged 60, has been admitted to your hospital ward for tests after being very tired and struggling for breath. Six months ago she had cancer of the womb and underwent surgery to have a full hysterectomy followed by a course of radiotherapy. Tests have revealed that, unfortunately, Maggie’s cancer has returned and is now in her lungs and kidneys. The consultant arrives for ward round with her junior doctors. The ward is busy and fairly noisy; no curtains are drawn around the six beds in the bay. Maggie is alone. The consultant arrives at Maggie’s bed to tell her the results of her tests. As Maggie has been submitted to hospital, she may find it difficult to communicate with nurses/doctors as hospitals are noisy and professionals may not be able to hear Maggie, this could lead to either Maggie becoming frustrated with the professionals or the professionals getting frustrated with Maggie or misunderstanding what she’s saying and this may then lead to Maggie not having her needs met. Due to Maggie going through surgery and finding out her cancer has returned, this’ll lead to her self esteem being eroded and may cause anxiety so she may feel too scared to talk to anyone. As the ward is busy and no curtains are drawn, there’s a lack of dignity for these...

...1. I have learned many new things about various cultures that could influence my teaching techniques and ideas. The most interesting part I learned during the different presentations is the language and religious barriers. If I become a teacher in a different town or part of the state it is important to research demographics and I now have some sources to reference. I plan to use what I have learned by referencing the handout provided and really using the diversity within my classroom as a benefit. A respectful outlook from teachers and students was one of most mentioned teacher tips. In an interview a Somalian immigrant mother said “I think children learn to be scared of my children. We are not scary. Boys dress same. Girls dress different....

...In this assignment I am going to explain my understanding of working practices and strategies that are used to minimise abuse within the health and social care contexts. The caring professions provide some examples of what people thought may have been a good practice of care then but actually is poor or even abusive practice. The main reason why this happens is due to the changes that occurs within working policies. Within my workplace we have different policies that safeguard vulnerable adults, here are some of working practices that I believe help safeguard: • Complaints Policy Effective communication • Record-keeping Policy Risks Assessments • Confidentiality Policy Recruitment procedures • Data Protection Policy Induction • Protection of Vulnerable Adults Policy Training • Whistleblowing Policy Codes of conduct • Care plans – Person Centred Care Reflective practice • Anti – discriminatory / Anti – oppressive practice • Organisations safeguarding policy & procedures Each resident is assessed before arriving at the home, once assessed our nurse manager produces a careplan for that resident. The resident and their family have the right to be involved in developing a meaningful and effective care plan. The nursing home must work with the resident to develop an individualized, written care plan and must update it at least quarterly and any time your condition changes. Each resident important right...

Online communication frameworks are the increase with fleeting usage rates and growth. Social media is the predominant medium in online communication. According to Reaney, sixtytwo percent of people who are connected online, communicate through social media websites (Reuters, 2012). These social media platforms have become suitable for Internet users who can connect virtually anywhere through their smart phones, laptops, or home computers.

Online disinhibition effect a loosening (or complete abandonment) of social restrictions and is inhibitions that would otherwise be present in normal facetoface interaction during interactions with others on the Internet.
