* A description of the intended audience. B. The rhetorical précis is an effective note taking strategy because * It answers the basic who, what, where, when, how, why, and to whom about a piece of writing. It also summarizes the content and analyzes the circumstances leading up to and informing a piece of writing. It clarifies how someone else chose to say something, in a particular way, for some purpose, to certain other people.
The text states that euphemisms and weaselers have uses but only if we are speaking, writing, listening, and reading carefully could we even distinguish prejudicial uses of these devices. It further states that photographs and other images are not claims or valid arguments but can be used to affect the reader’s decision making. They are invalid because a photograph may not state the exact truth and can be used to mislead the viewer. 3. What are some methods you might use to determine the reliability of the data you gather?
Criticisms from supervisors and peers often are met with emotional listening resistance. We hear only the negatives and do not attend to offers of help or ways to improve our performance. We are over stimulated and do not accurately receive messages that could help us grow and develop. Barrier Three: Criticizing Personal Style Rather Than Messages. We often find ourselves criticizing the way a message is presented and ignoring its content or value.
Do not use colloquial expressions. Use simple sentences, avoid compound or long sentences. Speak with intelligence and assume difference if unsure about the meaning. Assume the listener don’t understand and explain clearly. Use breaks between ideas.
For the author of A Yellow Wallpaper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, surrounds this very mysterious character with the issue of a wallpaper that is consuming the characters life. Gilman describes the characters dementia without directness to an "insanity". Jane, the main character knows that she has a mental issue and uses this journal to describe how she slowly loses her sanity. The curtness of how she lost her way made the story a little creepier, and more mysterious. In a novel the author could describe her past life for chapters and chapters, but knowing her life for such a short period of time made the story
Second, he argues that it is only by virtue of something being sentient that it can be said to have interests at all, so this places sentience in a different category than the other criteria: "The capacity for suffering and enjoying things is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be satisfied before we can speak of interests in any meaningful way" (175). That is, Singer is trying to establish that if a being is not sentient, the idea of extending moral consideration to it makes no sense. This negative argument is important, because one common criticism of Singer is that his criterion ends up excluding humans who are no longer sentient (like those in an irreversible coma); Singer is content to accept that consequence, but it is important that he show why the exclusion of some humans by his criterion is not problematic, given that he has criticized other criteria
Therefore they do not pay attention to the speaker because it is uninteresting to them. Other accounts could be that the listener has some form of prejudice against the speaker; therefore they will not have any concern in what the speaker is saying. To be an effective listener there are several factors that are involved; the listener must have the ability, education, experience, and the vocal ability to absorb what they are hearing. To be an active listener you need to have specialized guidance in absorption and a surrounding where you can focus. Summarily, if an individual with suitable listening skills should have the ability to focus on the speaker, make sense of what the speaker is saying, figure out their meaning and reciprocate effectively to what was

Whilst there are clearly a variety of differences between the two theories of anomie and alienation it must also be noted that there are also some similarities to point out. Anomie can be defined simply as a state where norms or expectations on behaviours are confused, unclear or not present at all. Alienation however can be defined as a withdrawing or separation of a person of his affections from an object or position of former attachment. However, the above definitions clearly do not fully explain these two concepts. They are both very complex and in order to understand them fully as well as to be able to compare and contrast they need to be looked at in much greater detail.
Identify and explain barriers to effective communication Language barriers – when someone speaks a different language or uses sign language, they may not be able to make any sense of information they are given by someone trying to help them. Cultural differences – when the same thing means different things in two cultures, communication can be difficult. Some cultures find eye contact very rude and defiant whereas other cultures find it polite and respectful. Emotional difficulties – we all have emotional difficulties at times and become upset. This effect can be to not hear or understand what people are saying to you.
