amusement or indifference) whereas irrational beliefs will lead to unhealthy emotions (e.g. fear or panic). Ellis claimed that irrational beliefs can lead to negative and inappropriate emotions. In 1967 Beck indentified the cognitive triad which consisted of three main cognitive biases that lead to disorders such as depression; a negative view of the world, a negative view of themselves and a negative view of the future. These biases interrelate and tend to perpetuate someone's depression.
Some of the symptoms of distress are mumbled/garbled speech or stammering, anxiety, anger, aggressive body language and concentrating problems. These are barriers that impact on effective communication, leading to misunderstanding on both sides. If you are the person in distress, you cannot hear or able to understand the whole picture because of the vicious cycle mentioned above. Individuals who are distressed will not be able to concentrate properly or focus fully, therefore their communication skills will be negatively affected. Whenever an individual becomes distressed they may experience the sense of "self" being compromised, as in low self esteem, effective communication may suffer as an individual feels withdrawn or stressed.

Since his argument is based on a common fallacy, his essay appears unreasonable and flawed. Another flaw is Twain’s Appeal to Ignorance, or Ad Ignorantiam. Twain writes that, “… [man’s tonsils] perform no useful function; they have no value.” (Twain
Central to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible and Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery is the theme of injustice. In both texts, the theme of injustice is present, due to societies failure to question superstitious beliefs and tradition resulting in inhumane treatments. The societies in both texts, adhere on tradition and superstitious beliefs regardless of the harmful effects it may cause. Fundamentally, it portrays human kind’s vagueness concerning the purpose of their actions, being more alarmed about tradition and rituals. Failure to this, leads to harsh penalties and measures towards the main characters, John Proctor and Tessie Hutchinson.
The authors illustrate how preconceived notions emphasize faults in specific people, causing distrust and hatred between individuals and societies. Although, many negative effects of false assumptions are shown in both
Terrorism- a nationalist response to the effects of globalization Globalization of economy politics and social issues has made people and groups more insecure and uncertain.

Stumbling blocks The essay, “Intercultural Communication Stumbling Blocks,” by LaRay M. Barna tells the story about communication barriers that occur between people who belong to different cultures. Barner has highlighted several barriers to intercultural communication in this article. First, that language is one of the main barriers to intercultural communication since people cannot communicate when they don't understand what the other person is saying. Second, nonverbal signs and symbols are also barrier to effective intercultural communication since different cultural groups interpret signs and symbols differently. Also, perception and stereotypes are barriers to effective communication since they lead to misunderstanding and hence avoidance.
This term is reserved for individuals who are basically unsocialized and whose behavior pattern brings them repeatedly into conflict with society. They are incapable of significant loyalty to individuals, groups, or social values. They are grossly selfish, callous, irresponsible, impulsive, and unable to feel guilt or to learn from experience and punishment. Frustration tolerance is low. They tend to blame others or offer plausible rationalizations for their behavior (DSM II, 1968).
‘Poor Communication can create conflict’ In Kate Grenville’s The Secret River, poor communication is the major cause of many conflicts found throughout the text. The inability to verbally communicate, in the areas of knowledge, values and laws, led to conflicts of misunderstanding, frustration and violence. Misunderstanding of body language, in the areas of appearance, customs and technology, led to conflicts of violence and abuse. Most of these conflicts finally resulted in people having a feeling of immense fear. The inability between the blacks and the whites to verbally communicate meant that issues of knowledge, values and laws created conflicts of misunderstanding, frustration, violence and stealing.
