These variables are important because missing one of these variables can disable you from communicating competently. You need to be knowledgeable to have skills, you need motivation to have the willingness to use the skills, and you have to be appropriate in order to be effective. This are variables have to be consider any time you claim to be competent. In my resume I put that I am Competent in Computer usage. But after taking this class I found out that in order to claim that you are competent, you need over all knowledge, skill, motivation, appropriation, and effectiveness.
Some of the challenges that arise when communicating with different cultures are difference in communication styles, attitudes towards conflict, decision-making styles, and approaches on tasks. It is important we accept each and everyone’s differences. Non-verbal communication may be more effective when dealing with different cultures and languages. Effective communication requires special attention and consideration from each party. When cultural barriers exist, one must rely on nonverbal communication to relay the correct message.
2.1 – The most basic method for communicating information and knowledge is verbal communication. This is effective, but has certain drawbacks – it’s hard to monitor who has received the information, and almost impossible to ensure that our large and diverse membership all are aware of what they need to know. Written information is much easier to track and, if displayed correctly, can ensure that all reasonable efforts have been made to communicate the information to a wide range of people. 2.2 – To select the most appropriate technique and method you must first identify what the information is and how complex it may be – the more complicated it is, the more likely you are to need some form of written or non-verbal information. You also need to identify who needs to know this information, how many people you need to reach, and how important it is that they receive it.
Every situation is different and every person has a different reaction to situations, thus as we are constantly growing and changing, the ‘truths’ we have come to know and believe can also change. Truths in life are also very relative just because something is truthful and applicable to one area of life does not mean that the same truth can withstand in other areas, and just because it falls doesn’t mean that it is a lie. It is up to us to determine what we find to be truthful in life. Obrien intends for “The Things They Carried” to challenge the factor of absolute truth that we view so close
While the common conception is that free will is glorious and without error or care, the opposite is true. Decisions greatly task the mind, which is concerned about consequence and the numerous outcomes when making a choice. Here or there, this or that; any option will confuse and weigh upon the human mind. Connecting back to previous statements about children’s ignorance of what is acceptable, a child would have even more dilemmas when given freedom from routines because of their lack of world experience. The numerous uncertainties from this freedom and ignorance can be overwhelming and cause individuals to feel uneasy about their current state.
This article also brought up an interesting question stating “Do translators imbue their work with temporal signifiers, those that don't stand out as readily as "dude"?” This question brings about the question of whether the responsibility of interpreting these terms should be put on the reader or the translator. Another interesting point I read in this article is about how difficult it is translating from
I am not entirely sure that I accomplished it correctly but attempted to. My understanding of the work changed as I started to think critically about what the story meant. There were many underling or hidden meanings within that one could consider. Thinking critically about something that does not interest, such as poems, seems to be the biggest challenge about the writing process for me. In my opinion, the strength of the essay is within the introduction and conclusion.
My texts both discuss grammar, but they are different because they have conflicting opinions on their definition of proper grammar. These definitions of the role that grammatical roles play in good writing differ because the rhetors of each text are targeting different audiences with different exigences. Audience The audiences that are targeted in these two texts are very different; the article “Why you need good grammar” by Michael Kwan is targeted towards a more traditional and conservative audience because throughout the text he emphasizes that proper grammar is necessary in all situations, and shows his repugnance to modern day bloggers and internet users for not using correct grammar on the web. Kwan also writes that he thinks that all the new ways of communicating and sharing your opinion through the web and other new technology is ruining grammar, and stresses that we should go back to traditional proper grammar. The cartoon in the Wall Street Journal is targeted towards a younger, open-minded, and more liberal audience as it shows a picture of modern day rock and roll
When writers are analyzing opposing positions, they need to supply a great deal of information, precisely and accurately. They add much of this information in phrases that interrupt the flow of a sentence. The problem, forgetting to set off an interrupting phrase with commas can make sentences difficult to read or unclear. These tools can be helpful, but do not rely on them exclusively to catch errors in your text: spelling checkers cannot catch misspelling that is themselves words, such as to for too. Grammar checkers miss some problems; something’s give faulty advice for fixing problems, and can flag correct items as wrong.
Each author’s method in integrating the oral history may be different and, to some degree, inadequate, but the presence of oral accounts in their essays give voice to different perspectives of that time. It is evident, then, that altogether the oral history in each essay holds value and plays a significant role in the integrity of each argument. We must be careful, however, to fully accept the perspectives and arguments the author presents to us as definitively as any individual identity in any historical account, including the author, has the power to misinterpret and miscommunicate historical accounts accidently or
