A variable's name can be any legal identifier — an unlimited-length sequence of Unicode letters and digits, beginning with a letter, the dollar sign "$", or the underscore character "_". The convention, however, is to always begin your variable names with a letter, not "$" or "_". Additionally, the dollar sign character, by convention, is never used at all. You may find some situations where auto-generated names will contain the dollar sign, but your variable names should always avoid using it. A similar convention exists for the underscore character;...

...BUSINESS COMMUNICATION PRECONCEPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH NAMES AND ITS ROLE IN INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION Submitted by: Gibin Venugopal(M130001MS) Roshni Yasmin Kallayi(M130006MS) Susan Joseph Kathaliyil(M130005MS) Vinay Mangire(M130010MS) PRECONCEPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH NAMES AND ITS ROLE IN INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION INTRODUCTION Name of a person is what distinguishes him/her from the vast pool of people on this planet. Names are assigned to everything around us – people, places, things, chemical compounds, trees, technology, inventions and it goes on. Globalization has brought in a scenario at workplaces whereby people belonging to different countries, cultures, ethnic, religious and social backgrounds interact and work together in teams in global organisations. Even within countries, people mingle with others of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Whatever be the origin of a person’s name, it is a vital aspect of his life as the name is the primary identity that is used to set him apart from others in social interactions, especially daily conversation. In India, there is a significant percentage of people who name their children based on their religion or caste. Either the name or the surname reflects this aspect. When preconceptions are made about a person based on the sole aspect of his/her name, it creates a assumed or misinterpreted image of the name bearer. This greatly affects one’s mental attitude and communication with the other person...

...Case: What’s in names? According to sociologists and name researchers parents are spending more time and money to find perfect names for their new born babies (Alter par. 1). They use different methods such as pulling ideas from book and websites, hiring professional baby-name consultant, and even check Social Security data (Alter par. 1). Maryanna Korwitt is a nameologist who spent years of studying ancient culture and past traditions as well as research with present-day people (About Maryanna). She started her own name business that helps people to choose right names not only for children but also for new companies and websites (Ferrell 235). She identified her target market as middle and upper class people. She writes books, makes television appearances, and provide consultations (Ferrell 235). Today, many books about baby naming are being published, and hundreds of websites are providing similar services, which all of these make her business more competitive (Alter par.3). Maryanna Korwitt took advantage of a recent trend to give babies unusual names (Ferrell 235). She studies names and how they could affect people’s lives. She believes that a child’s personality is determined by the name it is given, and therefore making the right choice is very important. While there has been an increased demand for help in choosing a child’s name, largely driven by the Hollywood penchant to choose odd names, in Korwitt’s case her business was not customer driven. She started her business...

...instance, : Sandra Cisneros, in her essay My name notes that a name can mean hope, many letters, sadness waiting (pg. 190) The naming in such cases has been as distinctly precise as none of the organisms named share the same names. In cases where they might share such names, there has always been a clear and precise way that conventionally applies in differentiating the two organisms. Under such situations, different methods are put into consideration. These methods of differentiation of names majorly depend upon the parental hierarchy of such organisms. Consequently, human beings also accord a lot of credit to the power of naming. However, the decision on which name to give to someone is not an easy task. People are named with regard to a number of factors. Some people may name their children after some renowned people. These people may be influential in the society or may have some adorable characteristics that the parents may want their children to adopt. Another factor that may define naming may be a remarkable or memorable occurrence. For instance: Lini S. Kadaba, in her essay, What‘s in a Name? Shows how Christopher Angelo Annas of South Philadelphia was named after his grandfather, Annas. The grandfather, initially named Papanastasiou but later changed the name to Annas on arrival to America. The grandchild later changed his name to Christopher Angelo Anastasiou, back to the original meaning. He claims that Annas, the name adopted by his grandfather sounded like part...

...In “Everyday Use” Alice Walker demonstrates the importance of one’s heritage, by showing how ignorant and unappreciative Dee is of the contributions made by her ancestors. Dee is characterized by what she says. On one occasion Mama addresses her by her birth name, Dee. In reply Dee says, “No Mama. Not “Dee,” Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo!” Mama asked why and she says Dee is dead and she couldn’t bear it any longer, being named after people who oppress her. Mama then highlights her ignorance of her family’s heritage by informing her on where her name originated. She tells Dee that she was named after her aunt, who was named after Grandma Dee, who inherited the name of her mother as well. A person who possesses real heritage and culture make use of it every day of their life on the other hand Dee exhibits being shameful and ignorant of her heritage. On another occasion Dee addresses her family about some quilts. She is determined to get the quilts, but has no idea or knowledge of how the family’s jewels are infused with the presence of the people who made and used them. It was made clear that mama understands that Maggie, not Dee, should have the quilts because Maggie will respect and appreciate the jewels by using them in the way they were intended to be used and not put on display like an exhibit at a museum. To Dee, heritage is the past, something to frame or hang on the wall, a mere artistic reminder of her family history. In Conclusion Dee is ashamed of her family’s heritage...

...the word. When a behaviour or skill seems to no longer require direct interaction, cognitive psychologists say it is automatized. Many behaviours can become automatized: typing, reading, writing to name just a few. To explore properties of automatized behaviours cognitive psychologists often put observers in a situation where an automatized response is in conflict with the desired behaviour. This allows researchers to test the behind-the-scenes properties of automatized behaviours by noting their influence on more easily measured behaviours. This demonstration explores a well-known example of this type of influence, the Stroop effect. Stroop (1935) noted that observers were slower to properly identify the colour of ink when the ink was used to produce colour names different from the ink. That is, observers were slower to identify red ink when it spelled the word blue. This is an interesting finding because observers are told to not pay any attention to the word names and simply report the colour of the ink. However, this seems to be a nearly impossible task, as the name of the word seems to interfere with the observer's ability to report the colour of the ink. A common explanation for the Stroop effect is that observers have automatized the process of reading. Thus, the colour names of the words are always processed very quickly, regardless of the colour of the ink. On the other hand, identifying colours is...
