...SOC/110 6/7/2014 People from all over the world use verbal and non-verbal communication daily. Some people who are hearing impaired use special equipment and they also use sign language. People communicate many different ways, one way would be through telephone, and another way would be through face- to-face interaction. The differences between verbal and non-verbal communication is a way for people to communicate face-to-face. I am just going to name a few key components in verbal communication are sound, words, speaking, and language. Non-verbal communication is communication without speaking words. An example of non-verbal communication is facial expressions, eyes, and touching. The challenges in communicating between genders will be that men and women may use the same words to describe a situation but expresses it differently. For example, a man says to a woman that he never talks to her when he is feeling depressed or when something bothering him as a statement that he is frustrated not knowing if she has done something wrong. He interprets that as a statement of a fact. I think someone of the opposite gender understands similar information differently than I because I look at a situation at all different angles. I will try every way possible to solve a problem. For example, a man can do whatever he wants to do in a relationship whether it be good or bad such as if it be cheating or simply using a woman for her money and housing. When the tables turns that man cannot...

...Effect Essay ICCM104, Section 11 Aj. Julien Hardy Sexual Discrimination in the Middle East. Sexual or gender discrimination is the way people judge or treat differently by their gender. Sexual discriminations are still a big issue in the Middle East today. Because of changes in society, people want to have their own rights and freedom in their life. Most of the women in the Middle East have been protest in order to get their rights and freedom back. Unequal power leads to the cause of gender discrimination. For this reason, the consequences of sexual discrimination in the Middle East are inequalities, Women’s rights violated, and sexual violence. One of the effects of Middle East’s sexual discrimination is an inequality. Inequality is like a condition which does not have an equal status. It is still a big issue today that women and men are not equal. Because of their religion, they are very strict among genders. Women need to be very silent, appropriate, or even neat (Moussly, 2011). Therefore, when they are hanging out with their friends, of course, girlfriends, they are not allow to talk about guys, party, or marriage life. They consider it to be inappropriate or disrespectful to themselves and even to their husband. Furthermore, when they want to greet or to say hello to their friends or other people, they cannot yell and say hello. They need to just walk with their eyes focused and silently toward that person (Equal Rights Advocates, 1974). In the Middle East, women also...

...After breaking common norms I than analyzed the results and recorded them below. Day One – Hugging co-workers rather than saying hello In our culture, when in the workplace, it is appropriate to greet fellow employees with a “hello”, “hi” or handshake. For the purpose of this assignment I decided to greet my coworkers with hugs, rather than saying hello and shaking their hand. Clearly the norm which I violated here were keeping the greeting casual and possibly invading my co-workers personal space. Americans are usually very adamant about not getting too close to others while in public and vice versa, so this one was fun for me. Throughout my work day, whenever I encountered a fellow employee I gave them a semi-long hug with a pat on the back, this included both male and female co-workers. I really enjoyed this one. The reactions from the people whom I greeted with a hug, rather than a simple “hello” or hand shake ranged by the particular individual and were usually along the lines of what I expected. All of the females I hugged responded with a return hug, meaning my hug turned into a mutual hug. It was a fun research experiment because most of the woman I hugged continued to greet me with a hug throughout the rest of the day, which lead me to believe they enjoyed the hug style greeting. The men reacted a little differently. Some of the men somehow anticipated the hug coming and were able to dodge my hug greeting. Others gave me a goofy face after I hugged...

... Our Use of Technology Has Gone Too Far. Hello Mia, thank you for your inspiring, and meaningful letter. I love the way you express your meanings, and still write what is happening to our brains with all this technology. You say that in today’s world you can not sit with people who aren't using their phones. I completely disagree with you. In many cases people use their phones but most of my friends, and family can easily control the use of their phones. So I think it is very different from person to person. We live in a world today where everything happens on phones, computers, iPads, and so on. We follow the news online we follow our friends and families life's online, and the most important of all is that we can keep in touch and connect with our acquaintances and friends. I agree with a lot of your arguments but the “online life” is still a big part of the world today and we need to accept all the bad, and good things that comes with it. I think that it is a great invention, and for everyday the technology is getting smarter, faster and also more complicated. I can see what you mean when you say it’s getting more dangerous when when you need to go by yourselves to the bank, and pay the bills. Exactly! But What if the systems breaks down one day? Then we will have to trust the smart people who are working all these things out for us, and we will be completely helpless. I hope that you can see the things differently now and maybe this has changed your mind a little...

...What Do You Say After You Say Hello? By, Eric Berne Book Review by Suresh A M, I semester, MBA, JSSCMS Eric Berne was a psychoanalyst who became well known in the 1970s for his system of "transactional analysis", the transactions in question being mostly those between a young child and its parents. He proposed various structures for this relationship based on the roles parent/adult/child that every person plays and presents life stories as scripts that can be good or bad. This book is considered by many to be Eric Berne's sequel to Games People Play. Although Berne published other books since Games People Play was released in 1964, most of those works were oriented towards those trained in psychotherapy and not towards the individuals who made Games People Play a two-year bestseller. The book is his last book completed just before his death in 1970. Berne's bad luck was that he wrote the book in 1970 when psychology was going through a bad patch with a flood of bizarre systems appearing. The good gets lost with the bad and transactional analysis now tends to be labeled as an outmoded California fashion related to Freudianism. In the preface he says that the book is "primarily intended as an advanced textbook of psychotherapy, and professionals of different backgrounds should have no difficulty in translating into their own dialects the short and simple annals of transactional analysis. No doubt some non-professionals will read it too, and for that reason I have tried to make...

Maria has some difficulty speaking and uses a wheelchair for mobility.As they head toward the door, Maria says something to Julia. Julia replies, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand what you said.” Maria repeats her comment. Julia looks confused and says, “One more time please?” Maria repeats her comment in a louder voice.

...In a world with 7.6 billion men and women, did you ever come to wonder what our body language or how we speak differently towards the other sex might mean? If you couldn’t already tell men are from Mars and women are from Venus, well that’s just a saying In another word this means men and women are polar opposites from each other.We speak differently towards each other and even our body language towards each other is different too! Why might that be? I research how and why men and women talk differently towards each other, even our body language. In my research, I found that this is a common question, since the early 90s, on how the minds of men and women think differently. For example in the book “ Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” written by John Gray. He...

...Per both groups, consisting of individuals suffering from both anorexia and obesity, I want to start each session with the same opening. It will go something like this: “Hello group – My name is Heather Zearfoss and we will start today’s session with just a few quick key points on the effect of food on our lives. I am going to try and keep this as simple as possible so that everyone understands why exactly you are even hungry and why your body needs food. This will be important in understanding the role of it in your own life. First, let me start off by saying, everyone looks at food differently; however, many of you do not know why you may feel the way you do. Does anyone’s tummy ever rumble? It’s when you get very hungry and tummy starts making noises? That is actually your body’s way of telling you, EAT! Your poor tummy needs to be filled. There is a part in your brain that is sending signals to your belly to say, “FEED ME!” You want to eat throughout the day because as time goes on, your body is digesting the food and its constantly moving through the body. There are also many other reasons that you eat or don’t eat. Some people have emotional ties to eating, which means they may to eat to feel better. They may eat because they are happy, sad, bored, for comfort, honestly, any emotion can trigger you to eat. Another reason some individuals may be affected when it comes to food is because of society. Society really plays a role in the way that an individual can feel about...

...Communication is a learned skill. There is many different ways people communicate from different places and cultures. We learned how to communicate by observing other people’s actions based on what we see and what we feel. Communication is when we interact with one another by sharing our thoughts and feelings. However, the three major parts in human’s face to face communication which are body language, voice tonality, and words. According to changing minds.org (N.D) Body language is one of the most important parts of communication which can constitute 50% or more on what a particular person communicate. It can also send signals with individual parts of the body to show your emotions and concerns that the person is going through. Life without communication would probably be impossible; we need communication to be able to survive and to learn from each other and to get what we want. Verbal communication is also another way people communicate face to face between interactions with people (Khan, 2001). Verbal communication is defined in terms of semantics, which is a group of labels use to represent approximations of space and times events and abstractions (Khan, 2001). Some of the following keys for verbal language are words, speaking and language. However, nonverbal communication is the process of communicating with the least words possible and usually understood through sending and receiving wordless messages. Nonverbal communication is communicated by gesture, body language,...

...we should pay even more attention to the way we communicate. We should watch or body language, facial expressions, and the way we make eye contact, the way we look and smell, our hand gestures. Our entire demeanor affects this communication process. There are some people who understand and read demonstrative communication better than others. In a professional world one may view a handshake different than others who are not in or use to being in a professional environment. When you are trying to be professional and you are introduced to new people they watch the way you greet them by paying attention to your handshake and the way you make eye contact. Some say that these two things alone can tell you a lot about a person, but that is ones opinion. For example, a firm handshake can to some mean that you are trying to make a good impression, or it can be the opening to a business deal. A handshake could also be the way to end a business deal or bet. If you are a politician or star you shake hands with lots of people as a way to connect with them or to say thank you for your support. If you are at a party or social gathering you shake hands with people as a form of greeting others. Handshakes are viewed differently in males and females. If you are...

In my perspective peoples culture is what makes them a whole. I’m Dominican. My life consists of excitement and happiness. From the delicious foods, to the jumping music. My world revolves around my culture. I and my family have different occasions which we celebrate differently. In our world we tend to make everyone happy. Even though I wasn’t born in Dominican Republic I still carry it within me. My mother, father, brothers and sister were born in Dominican Republic. I was the only one that was born in the United States but I was actually made in Dominican Republic. We were all raised Dominican style as anyone would say. We speak, write and read fluent Spanish. We also have the accent which is recognized by any Dominican. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought adjusting to the variety of things that are totally different in DR. Like every 3 years we would go to Dominican Republic. I can truly say that it is completely different as time goes by. And I realized the difference. In the DR you would see the children on the streets playing baseball, hopscotch, playing with dolls, riding bicycles and everything you would see a typical child do. Here in the United States it would be very difficult for you to see the children playing outdoors. Just for the simple fact that technology...

...personal or business. It is a foundation of how two or more people respond and interact with another. Nonverbal communication involves both listening and responding while using subtle cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture, and many others described later in this essay. Cheeseebro, O’Connor, & Rios (2010), contend listening involves attending to what the other person is stating and being opportunistic (p. 114). Responding is a form of giving and receiving feedback by not only verbal responses, but also nonverbal as well. For instance, if a person’s boss asks him or her to do something, he or she will respond by saying, “Yes, Sir.” By adding the nonverbal cues to the combination, he or she can roll their eyes and appear as though they do not want to do what is asked but will do it anyway. The person could have had a strong eye contact while smiling implementing he or she is happy to do the task. Nonverbal Communication Types According to the Helpguide.org website, there are seven types of demonstrative communication that includes facial expressions, body movements and posture; gestures, eye contact, touch, space, and voice. These are major components to effective communication so without further ado, they are described below. Facial Expressions Facial expressions are the most crucial part of communication because it articulates how individuals respond to what the other person is saying. People can understand facial cues to determine if a person is...

...My passion for working with children and serving grew as I got older while my naivety decreased. As a little girl I lacked the worldly experience and understanding that came with being a teacher and working with difficult people. Difficult situations are caused by difficult people and overcoming such situations can be hard depending on one’s values and lifestyle. In fact, anybody can overcome any intricate situation in the working class by showing perseverance, determination and kindness. In 2005, I finally became a teacher of my own class at a new church in Decatur. My family and friends were very happy for me because they understood that this was a huge accomplishment for me but not everyone was as happy as we were. I received my own class when I was sixteen and my colleague Rita was only a couple of years older. Rita would regularly spread rumors about how I conduct my class, falsely accuse me of hurting the children and would often say malicious things about me on purpose while in hearing distance. I knew Rita wanted to push me to the point of violence but I was not going to allow myself to stoop to her level of immaturity. I simply ignored Rita and continued doing my required duties and more and regardless of what Rita said my actions showed differently. Of course Rita almost pushed me to the point of violence but I had something bigger and better in mind and that was my future. Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord and my work is serving through...
