...ear and keep quiet, respect the one who is talking. In respecting the speaker, his mannerisms or habits and his and your differences in language should also be taken note of. Also, an open mind is also considered- accept the ideas and opinions of the speaker. The receiver should also focus and concentrate in what is being said to be able to fully and correctly understand the message to be conveyed. Another requirement is the simple responses all throughout the listening process. Simply nodding and maintaining eye contact will give the speaker an easier way to let all his thoughts out. Avoiding distractions or barriers is also a help in having successful listening. Also affecting the listening process are non-verbal symbols like the volume, tone, pitch and intonation of the speaker. The body language, such as facial expressions and eye contact, can also affect the listening process, therefore should also be considered. Lastly, the most important thing is to listen to the message’s essence and meaning, understand it, and don’t just listen to the words coming out from the speaker. 2. Five listening barriers and its corresponding solutions: a. Distractions- The noise around and the different thoughts inside the receiver’s head will lessen the possibility of understanding the message being delivered. Improving focus and attention, being aware and paying more attention to the speaker will mitigate this issue. b. Culture and beliefs- Having strong conviction about points of view...

...Settings Influence on Tone and Mood As a person reads “The Black Cat,” he/she begins to notice that the tone is very ominous and dark. To add to that, the main character’s cellar is also a mysterious place that lurks with disaster. The reader might also feel uncomfortable as the police are searching the man’s cellar but find nothing over the course of a few days. However, the reader knows where the body is buried. The police, nevertheless, are one step ahead and do suspect that something is fishy, but they have no way to prove it. All in all, the cellar is making the police more suspicious because of its creepy character. Character Analysis- Actions and Motives A person might find it strange for someone to kill his wife because of a cat, but that is quite true in “The Black Cat.” The main character’s motives to kill his wife were: alcohol, the black cat, and perverseness. The reader knows that the main character has a drinking problem, but because of that drinking problem, he had no idea what he was doing. It is a possibility that at the time, the main character didn’t know that he was killing his wife, but we will never know. The second motive is the black cat. He states that the cat would often pressure him to do something crazy because it resembled...

...Different novels may bring to the reader different tones and moods. In the novel, The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, may make the readers feel depressed because the tone and mood are ironic, gloomy, and dark. Due to the tone and mode the color dark red and song, “There is a Light that Never Goes Out,” by The Smith is relatable to the Scarlet Letter. Tone is known as the attitude of the author towards the reader and mood is known as a literary element were the reader gains feelings from emotion and descriptions. Throughout the novel the tone and mood seem to stay the same and continuously becomes more and more ironic. Readers may infer that the tone is ironic. This is due to the fact that Hester is being punished and no one knows that the priest is guilty as well, and Dimmesdale knowing he sinned and feeling like he should be punished while the townspeople don't think he”s guilty. For example on page 122, “He had been driven hither by the insisted and closely linked companion was that cowardice which impulse had hurried him back to the verge of a disclosure.” This example shows not only the ironic tone but the dark mood as well because of how he feels that what he’s done should be punished. The color dark red is...

...in regards to memory and mood disorders to be the most intriguing. Both of these topics are very essential in both my professional and personal life. As I had mentioned previously I am a Bipolar Manic Depressive. From the time of my diagnosis to now my doctors have did more to keep me functioning like a normal person than they have to actually educate me on my condition. A lot of the medication I take messes with my memory. Though through the years I have found that trivia games, seek and finds, crosswords and such help tremendously with my memory. During our studies I was able to separate were my memory problems evade me the most. I found that I need the most work with retrieving the information that I have stored in my memory. I have no problem with actually memorizing information it’s the recalling of the information when needed that gives the most issues. I found that the cued recall method works very well for me. For example, at work I deal with a lot of vendors, it can be difficult to recall what vendor I need when someone in the department request for me to obtain them a quote for something. So now when someone ask me for vendor information I can relate the vendor to the salesman. I have no problem with remembering names, so I remember the name of the salesman that I work with I regards to whatever it is that is needed. Then I can simply go to my outlook account and search the salesman name and there is the company information. The study on mood disorders really helped me...

...Shanique N. Williams PS 124 Introduction to Pyschology Jennifer Robertson December 10, 2013 Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks (NIMH). The symptoms of this brain disorder are normally severe. It’s pretty obvious if a person has this illness. The effects of this illness not only affect the body, but it affects relationships, job and normal day to day performance. Fortunately, bipolar disorders can be treated with medication in order to leave a normal lifestyle. Which parts of the brain are believed to be involved in this disorder, and how do these areas of the brain influence the development and behavior of the individual? The main brain areas involved in bipolar disorder include the frontal and temporal lobes of the forebrain, the prefrontal cortex, the basal ganglia and parts of the limbic system. The cerebral cortex is involved in thought processes and it is possible that abnormalities in this part of the forebrain are responsible for the negative thoughts that are associated with the depressive episodes of bipolar disorder. Briefly describe at least one method which has been used to study this disorder (EEG, fMRI, etc.), and what this method involves. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) allow researchers to take pictures of the living brain and can detect...

...Disorder (or manic depression) is a common, lifelong, severe and complex mental illness that is characterized by extreme mood swings with episodes of depression. According to the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, bipolar disorder affects about 2.6% of people age 18 and older. Bipolar Disorder affects both male and female equally and is caused by multiple factors and evidence suggests a strong hereditary component. To help understand Bipolar Disorders or to help to correct it, individuals go through counseling services and pharmacotherapy. Individuals with this disorder may either have Type I or Type II. According to “Journal of creativity in Mental Health” clients often go through different phases or breakouts caused by this disorder. These break out are due to poor social behaviors, lack of rest, poor judgment on other people and increased energy. Background of study This study will elaborate on Bipolar Disorder and why this mental illness has become such a major topic of interest in recent studies. In the United States, statistics have proven that there have been increased incidences of patients who are diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and researchers have linked this disorder to the younger population as well as the rest of the world where people often go around undiagnosed. Objective: How can one understand Bipolar Mood more thoroughly and how can one have more insight of this disorder as it derives from different people in different social classes...

...solvers who try to improve a situation. The definition of optimistic is “hopeful and confident about the future” so in other words one would be a Pooh Bear and not an Eeyore. Optimisms can take any negative situation and see a positive light in it, no matter how bad it may seem. So, is it really worth being optimistic or to just continue on with life and its negative aspects? Being optimistic, or acting like Pooh Bear, can really be beneficial to ones physical and mental health; cooping better with stress, improve you immunity, increased life span, improved coping skills, reduced risk for death from cardiovascular disease are all befits to thinking positive. By being pessimist, or acting like Eeyore, has the exact opposite effect; poorer mood, less social support, prolonger recovery from stress and illness and less satisfaction with life. Optimism could be one of the most important predictors oh physical and metal life. Positive thinking can even help women deliver healthier babies.

Those who reported having the easiest pregnancies had the highest levels of optimism.” (Meyer.) This study describes shows optimism can have profound...

...See You again, by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth is a song that appeared in Furious 7 as a tribute to Paul Walker. The lyrics are the main focus, but is heavily assisted by the music. See You Again emits a very emotional aura. The song begins with a repeating piano line that sets the emotional mood for the song. The voice of Charlie follows with the main focus being on the lyrics and the melody. Charlie’s voice really adds the emotional impact in this song as his high notes are filled with such delicate intensity. There is a change in pace in the song when Khalifa’s slow rapping follows Puth’s soothing voice. After Khalifa’s part, all of the background instrumentals become quiet as Puth voice and the piano appear, causing a more prominent emotional impact. The shift from Khalifa’s rapping accompanied by a lot of background music to Puth’s soulful voice with just the soft accompaniment of the piano creates a goosebump worthy musical experience. What makes this song so emotional for the listener is how relatable it can be. Unlike many other emotional songs, the lyrics to this song can be applied to almost any person who has lost a loved one. Even though I have not lost anyone close to me, I still feel very emotional when listening to the song. This fact illustrates the powerful effect this song has on the listener. The music does not merely support the vocals, instead they support each other, and make the other that much more impactful to the listener. In particular, the soft...

...Feel the burn Which workout is best for you? Andy Darling is your guide Saturday 15 January 2005 The Guardian 1: Jogging/running The simplest yet most effective exercise in terms of caloric expenditure, because it's an entirely weightbearing activity, requiring greater energy output than if you were seated or supported by water. Softer surfaces require harder work and result in still higher caloric expenditure. Great for fat burning, and for the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs). Not so good in terms of muscle toning and flexibility. Can cause too much stress on knee joints, particularly on uphill runs. Calories burned in 30 minutes: Approximately 340 jogging, 560+ running 2: Pilates Created in the mid-20th century by Joseph Pilates, it uses mat and machine work to develop body awareness. It also teaches you how to use muscles more efficiently, bringing together strength and flexibility, two factors that don't always sit easily together. Great for instilling a sense of "how to move" and to hold oneself . Not so good in terms of calories burned. Calories burned in 30 minutes: Approximately 140 3: Indoor rowing An integral training aid for the multi-medalling GB water rowing crews, the Concept2 ergometer - "erg" for short - has given rise to a sport in its own right, with competitions around the world. Some come to it because their days of weight-bearing activity (ie running) are over, others use it for cross-training, burning nearly as many calories as running...

...and Psychology Mood Disorders: Causes, Effects and Treatment Mood Disorders: Causes, Effects and Treatment Robert Baker Psychology GE1116 Dr. Angela Isom November 30, 2009 Mood Disorders: Causes, Effects and Treatments In today’s society, people seem to have a lot of problems that are classified as mental disorders. These disorders include: depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, and even seasonal affective disorder (SAD). The immediate stigma that is placed on most if not all mood disorders is that they are sicknesses. In the case of depression, this is not to confuse depression, a normal emotion with biological depression, an illness. Further along this line of irrational thought is the belief that they are not treatable and the person affected is in some way, shape or form disconnected from civilization as we know it. In this research paper, we will attempt to destroy these unfair stereotypes on this subject, attempt to rationalize the behaviors, and shed light on treatments for the various disorders. The research gathered will attempt to understand and answer these questions: 1. What are mood disorders and their symptoms? 2. What are the causes? 3. How can the stigma of mood disorders be removed? 4. What forms of treatment are the most successful? What Are Mood Disorders And Their Symptoms? In order to get a good idea of what causes mood disorders, we...
