...Westerners have a religious bias when it comes to understanding masks. The polytheistic nature of many masking performances runs contrary to the beliefs of monotheistic religions. Napier considers Christianity in particular, where it makes no sense to alter one’s appearance where there is an omnipotent god. The church fathers viewed masking as a pagan practice, associated with demons. A result of the church fathers’ mindset was the redefinition of the word “persona” into the root of our word “person,” though “persona originally meant the entire character manifested through a mask. There are different types of masks (funerary, stock characters, spirits, etc.), but Napier argues that this can be reduced down to two basic categories rooted...

...Masking Poor Communication COM 200 Interpersonal December 2, 2013 After reading the article Close Relationships Sometime Mask Poor Communication, I would have to agree and can understand the content of poor communication within a relationship, along with communicating with strangers. Over time in relationships couples begin to get closer and more comfortable with each other, and in some situations the communication is misunderstood. By taking a deeper look into the elements of the article, I have experienced several miscommunications within close relationships. “Communication can appear within close relationships as an illusion in a meaning of understanding or not” (Health Day News, 2011). Misunderstanding is a part of everyday daily life and within relationships this can become an issue. Being in a relationship with someone married or not, we would all like to think that the person we are investing our time in will and can understand everything we say. “Communication can be traced back to the Latin word communico, which is translated to mean “to join or unite,” “to connect,” “to participate in,” or “to share with all” (Sole, K. 2011). Dailey; we encounter relationships that are not as close of a relationship as they should be considering the time invested in it, but this is because of a lack of or a misunderstanding of communication. Communication can also be misunderstood while working on a job, or placing an order over the phone. When we...

...Masking Poor Communication After reading the article, “Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication”, I realized that miscommunication is a big part of our everyday lives. I am sure that many of us have thought that we have communicated very well with ones that are closest to us. The article made the statement that people believe to communicate better with their friends rather than strangers. When dealing with miscommunication this statement can have debates. Usually were wrapped up in the way that we talk with people we are close to and we usually make the assumption that since we’ve been close for so long that we have our own language and they automatically know what we’re talking about. When this is the case, when having conversations with people were close with we leave out important facts and expect them to put two and two together. So in actuality at some point these friends that we feel we are communicating well with were actually communicating on the same level with them as we would with a stranger. Every once in a while a miscommunication comes to the surface. Whenever this happens tension usually occurs which then cause’s conflicts. To stand clear of miscommunications one should always keep in mind to speak directly on the subject and note the important facts. By being direct and not making assumptions that someone is going to know what point you are trying to make will save a lot of time and save people from the confusion of trying to figure out...

...Masking Poor Communication R. Coleman COMM 200 Kyle Ferguson September 8, 2014 Most recently I had an issue with my mother regarding my sister temporarily staying at my place. Prior to my sister coming to the city I had explained to her that I did not have the room to accommodate her and my nephew so she would have to stay somewhere else, but I had no problem with her staying a few nights if she wanted to. My sister arranged for her and her son to stay with another sister. However, once she arrived there, she felt like her home was uninhabitable for her to stay; I agreed that she could stay over for a few days until she worked on other options. In the meantime, she had already had her belongings coming from Tampa, Fl. Once my mother informed her that her things would be arriving the following day, she decided to go to New York to visit with friends and leave the responsibility on me to decide where her things would go. I had no room for them to come in my apartment once they were off the truck. My feeling was that since my sister had decided she no longer wanted to live with my mother and move from Tampa to Houston, TX, she then made the choice to be responsible for herself. Having to decide where she was going to live and making sure her things got there was not my responsibility and I did not want to do it while she went to NY and to me, did not care what happened to her things. My mother yelled at me and accused me of being selfish and not wanting to help my sister...

...A good marriage thrives on the open exchange of emotion, desires, and beliefs. In fact, communication is one of the most important aspects of a satisfying marriage. Effective communication is meaning that is shared with others so that all parties come to a mutual understanding about what the words mean. To achieve shared meaning, we must listen carefully to what others say, ask questions to ensure that we understand what the words mean to the other person, and provide feedback to confirm that we understand the other person correctly (Sole, 2011). In the article that we read this week, “Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication" made me take a closer look at my own communication within my marriage. There is no doubt that when people are in a close relationship that they take for granted that their significant other knows and understands the meaning of what is said to them. It is a common mistake to think that communication between you and your partner is only about the two of you. There are other major factors that can hinder effective communication: As human beings, we take experiences and interactions of our past and incorporate them into our thought process. If your partner...

...Masking for Effects Aspiring to idols and glorifying fictional characters has been the norm within society since Superman has been around. Little kids pretend play the roles of super heroes with hope that one day they may become one and even adults sometimes attend conventions with the same goals. They are loved for different reasons. Some being their powers, others being their appearance, but most commonly because it is someone to look up to. The start of WWI and WWII changed our countries face to a traumatic terror. Left and right loved ones were being sent out to defend the country and many weren’t returning. The public was in mental despair over the devastation and hope was greatly needed. Even though they were a fictional character it was still someone to turn to, Superman and Captain America soon became...

...or designing and creating. I have also learnt that this utility can also perform other functions of redaction, not only PCI, we can also remove social security numbers. The only issue I can foresee is keeping within my budget. Because I hold all the equipment needed for this project, and I am the programmer, I will be able to keep the budget within the alloted $5,000. The objective of this project is to protect customers sensitive information. Customers complete payment forms for companies to make automatic payments, or one time payments. My solution is to keep this form as proof, but remove the information that should not be visible to anyone else, other than the client. This method will also eliminate the need for human interaction of masking the sensitive information. Saving time, money and man power. I feel a large audience will be affected by this product. Business owners, customers, employees...

...William Shakespeare in his well-known play The Tragedy of Macbeth, written in 1606, uses various types of metaphorical masks. Shakespeare was inspired to write the play after reading a book titled, Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland, about the real-life Macbeth. Just like the actual King Macbeth, The Tragedy of Macbeth takes place in Scotland. Metaphorical masks are imaginary shields used to hide what is actually taking place. Although there are many types of masking throughout the tragedy, the three most predominant types are the masking of feelings, guilt, and murder. The masking of feelings is prevalent throughout the dialogue of Macbeth. For instance, in Act I, scene 5, Lady Macbeth encourages Macbeth to "[...] Look th' innocent...

...Hooper is a man of the cloth, but he is also human; humans are bound to sin. One is not immune to sin, and one cannot run from it, but judgement has allowed for the masking of the truth. The life an individual chooses to live is between that person and the God one has a belief in, and no one should be able to define one’s life based on a sin. Judgement is what drives society to seek perfection, but in reality it is just not possible. Hawthorne does an amazing job in this short story demonstrating how society has been masking sin and mistakes for many...

... Step Two: Next, I blended the charcoal with a piece of felt and added the beginnings of wood grain. I repeated this several times to build up a solid tone. After pulling out some highlights with a clic eraser, I used a sharp hard charcoal pencil to create shadows to help create slivers and chips in the wood. I also applied masking tape at this point. I will be drawing masking tape in these areas later. Some of the wood texture will show through from the previous step and give my drawn masking tape a little more transparency. Step Three: Then, I sprayed the drawing with fixative, Peeled off the frisket and began rendering the subjects. I used a 6h graphite pencil to add tone to the paper and blended with a chamois. In some areas, I applied the graphite with the chamois. For those of you that haven’t tried blending with a chamois, it can produce incredibly subtle tones – almost like an air brush. I use a kneaded eraser to pull out the crinkles in the paper. I am using the same technique to render the rose, applying graphite from dark to light and blending. The tape on the right shows what it looking like after I removed the real masking tape. I have begun rendering the tape on the right with a General's carbon sketch pencil and blending with a tortillon. Using carbon here for the tape...

...The Humanization of Batman Masking is the ability to take on the perspective of a character and enter a sensually stimulating world; a technique often used in comic books to portray a story that can only be perceived by one sense and yet must create a world through that single sense. A major way to draw the reader in is through the humanizing of the characters, especially the protagonist. In Batman: A Long Halloween, the protagonist is Batman, a dark hero who is serving to avenge his parents deaths by ridding the city of Gotham of all evil. The first way the author, Jeph Loeb, creates masking is to give his hero a dead parent background. As discussed in class, this is one of the most overused backgrounds and way to create a relationship with the reader, yet it is effective. After establishing the basic layer of a relationship with the reader, Loeb goes on to show what used to be a “normal person” is now a dark hero of his city hell bent on keeping his promise to his deceased parents that he “would rid the city of the evil that took their lives no matter what that evil looks like or becomes”. While most readers probably have not lost our parents tragically like Batman did, we can easily be sympathetic to how he must feel. To lose one parents can make a person feel alone and therefore when we see Batman’s two friends, Dent and Gordon, we can take peace in the fact that he has someone to count on. Throughout this miniseries, there is a personal narration by Batman...
