...Demonstrative Communication Cleveland R. Williams Business Communications/275 May 2, 2013 Kevin McCoyd Demonstrative Communication Nonverbal communication and unwritten communication can have as much impact as verbal communication. Nonverbal communication can be interpreted many different ways; therefore, it is vital to understand the meaning behind nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication can be defined as “all types of communication that don’t involve the exchange of words” (Rogers & Steinfatt, 1999, p. 67). Nonverbal communications are symbols for thoughts and feelings that communicate meaning. They are governed by rules and influenced by context. Like words, nonverbal communication can also influence the believability of the message (Communicating in the Workplace, Chapter 4). Examples of nonverbal communication include a smile, wink, or wave. Each of these communicates something without the use of verbal or written language. When I met my instructor on the first day of class, he shook my hand firmly but he did not say a word. He used nonverbal communication to welcome me to his class. According to some studies, communication between people is more that 50 percent nonverbal. Albert Mehrabian found that 55 percent of the meaning people send is contained in facial expressions, 38 percent of the meaning is contained in the voice, and only 7 percent of the meaning is contained in the actual words (Mehrabin & Weiner, 1967). For example, watching...

...6-05 Western Governors University June 18, 2012 A teacher’s expectations can greatly impact how well a student does in a classroom. If a teacher demonstrates expectations in rational and positive manner, the student is more likely to excel in the classroom. However, if a teacher has a negative outlook and does not let the students know exactly what is expected, the classroom will not run as smooth and the students’ grades might be poor. There are many expectations that would positively influence student achievement. The five that will be covered in this paper are arriving on time and prepared, positive communication with classmates and the teacher, completing a reading log each night, turning assignments in on time, and paying attention in class. When addressing a fourth grade classroom, asking students to arrive on time and be prepared would be an expectation that would influence a student’s academic achievement. There are many reasons why it is important for students to arrive to class on time. First of all, a fourth grade classroom is busy and has a full day of activities each day. Arriving late would cause a student to not only miss out on an important morning activity, but it would be disruptive to other students who are moving on to their next assignment. The same is said when asking a student to come to class prepared. The unprepared student is not only taking valuable time out of his or her day, but that of his classmates. This expectation would...

...Hunt EDP 310: Gender Development 1) 1) Interview 4-5 females and 4-5 males (they can be friends or strangers). Ask each of them to think of adjectives that describe/symbolize men, and adjectives that describe/symbolize women. For each person you interview, list the first 4 words they think of for each gender. Keep a running list of the words (even if words are used multiple times). Bad language can be an issue here. If you feel uncomfortable with certain words, you do not have to list them, although you can count the number of inappropriate words that are used to describe each gender vs. more appropriate words. You can also count the number of positive words said vs. more derogatory words. Answer: When reading over the selections for this assignment I decided to pick option four.

...successes, and failures. When applied to education, personal responsibility might be best described as identification of the essential aspects that ensure our success and a commitment to achieving success. It is advantageous to keep an open mind when coming up with a strategy for personal success; but more importantly, follow through with this strategy (Gubacs-Collins, 2007). In order to obtain a higher level of education, students must accept personal responsibility through effective time management and self-motivation. Accepting personal responsibility means holding oneself accountable for the choices we made regardless of whether or not these choices produced positive results. We must take claim for all the actions and face consequent of those actions. Given opportunities, students have no choice about “to become responsible”. The more chances given, the more likely students will experience success (Gubacs-Collins, 2007). Personal responsibility and college success go hand in hand. When students take action going back to college, students are responsible to find adequate time and making the necessary efforts to succeed. Completion of all assignment on time and maintaining a thorough understanding of the materials being presented throughout the entire semester are essential to achieving a high grade point average. Success does not grow on trees and we should not expect that someone will simply hand us the keys; it takes determination and dedication (as cited in Anonymous...

...Shaday Goodin Professor Jones SOCV01 26 February 2015 Positive Acts of Deviance We live in a world where every day we are caught up in our own lives, we sometimes forget about others. Or we may even find it out of the norm to go that extra mile to help someone or take that opportunity to do something positive for someone else. This may be because we’re shy, scared of what others will think, or simply because we don’t see everyone doing it so it wouldn’t necessarily be “cool” or the “normal” thing to do. I was given the assignment of performing two positive acts of deviance. The term deviance means any behavior, belief, or condition that violates significant social norms in the society or group in which it occurs. The first part of my assignment was performing a positive act of deviance with a stranger. So just the other day at work, an elderly couple came into my store possibly in their eighties or so. The man came in pushing his wife in a wheel chair and as I approached them, they asked me if we had heavier coats. And they were in luck! We were having a promotion on all of our winter apparel and picked out a couple I thought his wife might have liked. As I showed both of the coats to her and her husband, they loved them and she wanted to try them on. Her husband helped her to stand out of her wheelchair but struggled to get the jacket on both arms as well as hold his wife up, as her balance wasn’t that good. For a second I stood close by in case they had anymore questions, but...

...Running head: Implications for Classroom Management Legal and Ethical Implications for Classroom Management Phedelia Singleton Grand Canyon University EDU-536 Classroom Engagement and Management December 21, 2011 Ethics is a word for human behavior which includes classroom behavior. Ethical behavior is a realm of classroom ethics. In every complex society proper ethical is difficult, but it starts when a child is young. The implications below are a few of many ethical principles in the classroom which are significant among our students today. Teaching Ethics: The Role of the Classroom Teacher For many years, ethical development (children’s character or moral development) has been a controversial topic. It is important to emphasize character development among students as part of preparing students. Controversy has developed over the years into, whether the teacher or parents is responsible. Preparing children as productive adults has challenges for schools. There are few questions as to who should feed character development. There are concerns for the counselor and parents as prime candidates of building children ethical characters. But, teachers are in position as a key influence among students. The Ethics of Classroom Silence Teachers can question student refusing to actively participate in their own learning. It is said that students are acting unethical in this area. Students benefit from learning and the teacher is effective...

The writer of this paper will also describe how demonstrative communication involves listening and responding. We will also talk about what to be as you speaking with someone. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the definition to the word demonstrative is to “freely and openly showing emotion of feelings (Merriam-Webster)”; it also mean to demonstrate, inclined to display feelings openly, and to demonstrate as the real true. And communication is defined as “the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc.; to someone else” (Merriam-Webster). If we put the two words together, it is clear that demonstrative communication mean to freely or openly express one’s self either verbally or nonverbal; the writer of this essay strongly believes that people tend to use demonstrative communication to persuade others. Verbal communication is when you are communicating in the form of written or an oral message; non-verbal communication is when someone is communicating through gestures, images, expressions on an individual’s face.

... James De Clue Dodd, Larry Week 2 Individual Assignment Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative communication is a process of communicating with an individual or a group of individuals. The sender is communicating how one is feeling or thinking. Demonstrative communication is communication that comprises the interchange of shared messages and deliberation through the procedure of verbal and nonverbal and active listening communication. When we communicate nonverbal, we are communicating messages with our nonverbal communication as if we are communicating verbally with others. Demonstrative communication can be affective or ineffective, as well as positive and negative. It is all depending on how the message is received and communicated. The information must be precisely communicated in a way the receiver can understand. If the message that was communicated by the sender is understandable and leave no question in mind, then the communication that was transmitted will be affective and positive. Here is an example of demonstrative communication, a message that is affective and positive. Lets us take a look at our home town baseball team, the Houston Astros. When a player of the Houston Astros is at bat the batter is making...

This assignment is broken in to two parts: your team's evaluation of your assigned team's individual presentations and the formal communications report. This is to be a team assignment. This assignment is to be completed by November 18th Business report and presentation slides are available for review in the Business Communication Learning Module. Please look at the notes associated with each slide for additional information: A Microsoft Word template has also been supplied as a starting point for the formal report. If there are questions, the team is expected to delineate guidelines through research, inquiry, and rational decision making. I anticipate that teams will search for formal report guidelines to get specificity on structure, or look up white papers to read sample abstracts. In a Master’s program, this is the expectation. Each report will vary according to the interpretation of the requirements by the team members. Some will focus the recommendation and action steps section on the process and overall team product – some will apply this at the individual level. Both are correct approaches, but made better through an explanation of the process in the Letter of Acceptance. Letters of Acceptance and Transmittal are formal business letters. You are encouraged...
