...Audience Analysis Whenever giving a presentation, it is important to communicate properly with an audience. In order for a presentation to be affective, the speaker must know who they are presenting to in order to inform, persuade, or entertain them. In order to be successful in getting your message across it benefits the speaker to have information about their guest such as their interest, likes and dislikes. In order to keep the audience interested, we never want to go into a situation unaware of the makeup of an audience. This analysis will cover characteristics of the audience to consider, the appropriate communication channels, considerations with diversity of the audience, and how to ensure messages are effective. One of the first items a speech giver must approach is the characteristics of the audience. The speech-giver must first identify who the audience is. Locker and Keinzler (2008) identify five different audience types. A gatekeeper can be a supervisor, or someone outside of the organization who controls whether the message gets to the primary audience. The primary audience is who the message must reach. The secondary audience is who will use the message, or act on the message’s recommendations. An auxiliary audience may view or read a message but will not have to interact with it. The watchdog audience does not have the authority to stop the message like a gatekeeper but will follow the interaction between the speech-giver and audience closely, and “may...

...“The Giver” Literary Analysis In life, people find that memories are a benefit, yet it somehow contains cons. Like societies in the novel The Giver, a fiction novel wrote by Lois Lowry, it explained that memories can provide wisdom and experience for situations. This theme is expressed in many ways such as figurative language and diction. Memories are needed in society so that people can learn from their experience. Recalling to the texts, Lowry uses her figurative language to give context clues of the theme. Doing that, she uses simile and imagery to hide the theme. For instance, using simile, a group of visitors from another community broke a few rules who upsetted the fair-playing Lily. “She shook her head. ‘I don’t know. They acted like…...

...THE GIVER Lois Lowry ← Plot Overview → The giver is written from the point of view of Jonas, an eleven-year-old boy living in a futuristic society that has eliminated all pain, fear, war, and hatred. There is no prejudice, since everyone looks and acts basically the same, and there is very little competition. Everyone is unfailingly polite. The society has also eliminated choice: at age twelve every member of the community is assigned a job based on his or her abilities and interests. Citizens can apply for and be assigned compatible spouses, and each couple is assigned exactly two children each. The children are born to Birthmothers, who never see them, and spend their first year in a Nurturing Center with other babies, or “newchildren,” born that year. When their children are grown, family units dissolve and adults live together with Childless Adults until they are too old to function in the society. Then they spend their last years being cared for in the House of the Old until they are finally “released” from the society. In the community, release is death, but it is never described that way; most people think that after release, flawed newchildren and joyful elderly people are welcomed into the vast expanse of Elsewhere that surrounds the communities. Citizens who break rules or fail to adapt properly to the society’s codes of behavior are also released, though in their cases it is an occasion of great shame. Everything is planned and organized so that life is as convenient...

Video Analysis – “Planning A Playground” 1. What are the issues in this meeting? I think that there was not really any issues in the video. I did feel like the group really was not listening to Betty when she said something about the bake sale. I think that their body language showed that they really did not want to do the bake sale. I think the team came together as one and talked about how to get the funds for the playground. 2. What did they do well as a group? I think they did everything well as a group. They all came together, met one another, and got right down to business. I liked how they all respected one another. Over all, I feel like the group did a good job. 3.

...economic experience; a material and social communication exchange that is inherent across human societies and instrumental in maintaining social relationships and expressing feelings (Camerer, 1988, Joy 2001). Research within different disciplines to gain insight of gift giving behaviour has continued for over forty years. Gifts are bestowed in celebration of key life events, a medium for nurturing personal relationships, to encourage economic exchange and to socialise children into appropriate behaviour patterns (Belk, 1979). Obligations within a community require that individuals are required to give, receive and to reciprocate (Mauss, 1954). In his essay the French anthropologist-sociologist Marcel Mauss (1954), presented a theoretical analysis of the gift-giving process, that was based on his examination of giftgiving amongst various primitive, secluded, or ancient societies. He concluded that giftgiving is a self-perpetuating system of reciprocity and summarised three types of obligations which preserve gift-giving: 1. The obligation to give. 2. The obligation to receive. 3. The obligation to repay. The requirement to give may be ingrained in religious or moral necessities, with a strong need to recognise and maintain a status hierarchy and to establish or maintain peaceful relations, or merely the expectation of reciprocal giving. These motives, which do not acknowledge purely selfless giving, become embedded into the fabric of a society so that under appropriate conditions...

...Health cultural values “shape human behaviors and determine what individuals will do to maintain their health status, how they will care for themselves, and others who become ill, and where and from whom they will seek health care” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). Transcultural nursing is a practice to transform health care and help people of diverse cultures. An analysis of Leninger's vision for the work of transcultural nursing indicates that there are many barriers and issues in health care, particularly for persons from diverse cultures. For instance, health care for poor Americans and ethnic minorities is less than optimal because they are unable to pay for services because of lack of insurance (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). Ethnicity is a reference to a collective identity, a sense of uniqueness within the larger society, and a distinction from nonmembers. Ethnicity denotes a sharing of customs, food, dress, music, religion, and of symbols, such as language, among those who see themselves as fellow members of the group (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). An ethnic group may have “common geographic origins, family patterns, language, religion, values, traditions, symbols, music, dietary preferences, and employment patterns” (Edelman & Mandle, 2010). The ethnic group includes those members with the sense of belonging to the collective identity. A traditional method of maintaining, protecting, and restoring health requires the knowledge and understanding of health related resources from...

During the 1st phase, when it is still constituting itself – their philosophical spokesmen are found in NL school – i.e. Hobbes, Locke etc. – Notion of Justice and equality show the core they argue for change against status quo.

...Gender Language Subconsciously, we are all aware that males and females communicate differently. Some of us may not know why, however, we notice that males and females communicate in certain ways. When men communicate with others, they are considered to be confident and straightforward. In contrast, women are more timid and sensitive. Males and females communicate that way because they were taught to do so when they were younger. In school, boys and girls create their own way to communicate socially with their classmates. Boys would try to make everything similar to a competition and females are more about giving everyone a chance. In a workplace, males are projected as being more dominant and females are displayed as being fair. When males and females communicate, males are more likely to play a dominant role in a conversation because males subconsciously expose their masculinity. Deborah Tannen was one of the reliable sources that thoroughly elaborates the communication between male and female. Tannen is currently university professor and professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. She received a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of California in 1979 and has done a numerous amount research on a broad range of topics. She wrote 22 books that created connections with analysis of conversational discourse, spoken and written language, orality and literacy, doctor-patient communication, cross-cultural communication, modern Greek discourse, the relationship between...

...Nursing Theory Plan of Care Nur/513 May 16, 2011 Introduction Nursing theories describe and explain the phenomena of interest to nursing in a systematic way in order to provide understanding for use in nursing practice and research. Nursing theories provide a framework for nurses to systematize their nursing actions: what to ask, what to observe, what to focus on and what to think about. They provide a framework to develop new and validate current knowledge. Researchers use nursing theories to define commonalities of the variables in a stated field of inquiry, guide nursing research and actions, predict practice outcomes, and predict client response. Analysis of the Congruence and Theoretical Statements Henderson define nursing as helping people, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health and its recovery that they would perform unaided if they had the necessary strength, will or knowledge (Fitzpatrick & Whall, 2005). It is the function of nurses to help people become independent as rapidly as possible. She saw how nursing could focus on the patient and on developing a good nurse-patient relationship. She believed that the patient-focused nursing was the most beneficial kind of nursing. Henderson emphasized the use of nursing care plan. To develop effective care plan, collection of necessary information is important. She developed the 14 Basic Needs in her Theory (Fitzpatrick & Whall, 2005) as basis of individualized nursing...

...Roles and Stages Analysis Paper In their essay, Functional Roles of Group Members,1 Benne and Sheats identify a number of roles that are often assumed by members of a group. These "roles" are divided into 3 subgroups: Group Task Roles, Group Maintenance Roles and Self-Centered Roles. During this project, some members of our group consciously took hold of certain roles, while others simply assumed the remaining roles. Throughout the duration of this paper I will analyze the "roles" mentioned within Benne and Sheats’ essay and how my group members acquired and performed in these "roles". Finally, I will discuss and analyze the Group Development Stages as outlined by Bruce Tuckman.2 As a team member of Spring Together, I assumed many roles throughout the project. Initially, I was very nervous and apprehensive about working with an online group. Our first group communications began with introducing ourselves on Blackboard. My apprehension had me quickly taking on the roles of Help Seeker and Tension Releaser, as described by Benne and Sheats.3 Although I consider myself pretty adept at technology, I recall that I asked simple questions of my group members regarding technology in an effort to gain information and break the ice. I also asked that they be patient with me as I tried to navigate Blackboard. In addition, I labeled my email subject lines, “Finally getting the hang of this”, hoping to lighten the mood and release some tension. I also discovered that I...

...the emphasis on specialist knowledge was exaggerated. Journals were packed full of technical jargon and would be indecipherable for those without the privilege of belonging to a privileged group. In choosing to publish journals in the vernacular instead of in a common language such as Latin, in order to keep up a scholar would need to learn at least German, French, English, Italian, and perhaps Russian. In addition, the emphasis was clearly moving away from the traditional model of teaching classics, wherein students were taught the languages and how to compose verse above all. Taine, a French author who published his Notes on England in 1872, noted disparagingly that English students ‘have read many classical texts: but the explanations of these given to them are wholly grammatical, positivist’. Where in the Romantic era an understanding of the language was considered a stepping-stone to the culture, with professionalization the focus was moving towards Philology as a scientific tool. Gone were the days where the well educated distinguished themselves by composing in Greek verse. Instead, authoritative figures of scholarship such as the eminent Müller modernised the study of language into the science of language. Ultimately, the influence of Romanticism and those particularly authoritative members of the movement had created the scholarship scene. A rising educated class influenced by the prestige of learning above all had commandeered much of the publication space. Because...
