As I lisened again and again, I noticed I said "ok now" a lot and awesome too.Not only did I say it a lot, but sometimes it was incorrect. For example, when I was introducing Captain America my sudent had not even sared with the presentation and I wa aready saying "wow,it is awesome"I should have said it at the end. I also noticed that some of my pronunciation was wrong, and eventhough it was not accurate from what I heard, my students understood me just fine. Despite they understood me, I know I should still practice my pronunciation. One thing that I also noticed was that the things some of them said sounded rehearsed.
Due to the closeness in relationships between love ones they feel as if they know what the other person is thinking or feeling. When in actuality you or the love one should be really listening to what it is that is being said. It seems more convenient to our relationships and lives that we always understand or know exactly what our love one is thinking or wants. Believing this in my opinion is the reason why there is such poor communication among close relationship. My husband and I went to high school together but weren’t really close.
I kind of knew I was a high risk taker but this assessment just clarified everything for me. Over all the questions asked in this assessment were very good scenarios and I really had to think about a few but at the end of the day I took the risk on most of them. In the player test I am described as having fear of criticism. The assessment say that fear of criticism appears to be of major concern for me when working in a group situation. The assessment also says that I may not be fully able to participate because I often do not handle negative
I find this to be a beautiful statement, which holds very true. Coming back to the real world now, we do the same thing. We as people judge others whom we don't know well. On the other hand, we accept those more from whom we know much, because we can rationalize their behavior, we can explain their actions to ourselves. When we think of it in those terms, we need to question judgement for ourselves.
Well, of course I was raging with fury at my first reaction. I reflected upon all my conversations that I had, and just imagined the great laugh that the NSA had over my calls. But after all, there must be some reason behind their actions. Despite that I’m mad about those guys overhearing my conversations, I guess we should all be happy that our government attempts on providing a secure place for all of us, in our great country. Perceiving the situation from the NSA’s point of view made me think outside the box for some time, though I’m still very mad… But being at this psychological state of mind will not lead anyone to a better thinking process.
(Par. 6) This is a very interesting finding as most people think that they understand each other better than they actually do. Especially in spousal relationships, we believe that we are on the same wave-length; therefore, to discover how common misunderstandings are because of simple communication barriers is fascinating. These miscommunications may be a large part of the rising divorce rates. When couples feel that they understand each other completely, however, are communicating on different levels, it can be very hard to understand why the communication is failing.
It's easy to believe that we all see things the same way and then get derailed unexpectedly (McKee, 2009). If a person begins starts a conversation with a conflict starter statement, one of the most effective counter moves is to say something like, "Let me see if I can re-state your concern to make sure I understand it thoroughly and then address it to your satisfaction." You accomplish two goals when you counter your antagonist with a restatement of his or her conflict starter. Those goals include 1) softening the conflict-starter with a reasonable interpretation of the person's concern but in more neutral terms and 2) a reasonable restatement will almost immediately diffuse the conflict-starter and allow a discussion, rather than an argument, to follow (Chandra, 2005). Most times conflict starters are designed to put the other person on the defensive, but by your reasonable and thoughtful restatement of the issue, you will almost always put your aggressor a calmer mood, and then you can truly discussing the issue at hand.
How was I supposed to live with myself after that...? “Everything had gone right with me since he had died, but how I wished there existed someone to whom I could say that I was sorry” The London Times office invited me to lead a lecture to future reporters about how to remain as a bystander. I hadn’t been a journalist for a few years so I was a bit sketchy, but I agreed, only due to the fact that I wanted to inspire younger journalist and tell them about my times as a reporter, and to warn them about the risks of the job. “Welcome future reports, I would like to thank The London Times for inviting me to give you all a lecture. Today, my main objective will be to teach you all how to remain a bystander while encountering all types of conflict.
He explored why that would be, I told him how I feel I should make up for what I consider my father's failure, despite his every advantage. Also how I'm kind of inspired by figures in history who came from basically nothing to become the prominent historical figures we learn about today. He asked if I felt any personal responsibility and I hadn't considered it before, but I did. I told him how I feel like I should make up for some of the failures in my past, things I could have changed. I went on about this for a good twenty minutes, describing some of the things I felt I could have changed, yet didn't.
Not only did it allow me to become more knowledgeable about the small and larger scale stereotypes, but it showed me that everyone fits into a category, and no one is left out. Shouting out different stereotypes into the circle was the easy part. It was much harder to stand up in front of everyone and define yourself. This however, was also my favorite part of the activity. I learned a lot just by sitting back and listening to the inner circle speak their true feelings and talk about some difficulties they have gone through by being a minority.
