This can be overcome by speaking to them in a plain and simple speech and a calm and collected tone and using non verbal communication methods. 3.2 Identify barriers to effective communication. Barriers to effective communication could be: - Not understanding or being aware of a persons needs, wishes , beliefs and culture. Such as not understanding/misunderstanding an individuals words such as their slang words – that’s ‘sick’, understanding that it means something bad but due to their culture it means really good. - Not ensuring communication aids, such as hearing aids, are available, switched on or working.
This is because, in some countries, different words mean different things. This means that if you say something, you can say it without meaning any offence to the service user, however they may feel that you are discriminating against them as they may interpret what you have said in the wrong
The first of which is a correct way of putting it, and the second way is a much more insensitive way of saying it. It is also important to make sure that we communicate the information at the correct time to prevent a misunderstanding of the message. The place and method of communication is also important in communicating a sensitive subject effectively and sensitively. The carer will need to bare in mind that there are many ways Argyles theory can switch into Shannon-Weavers at any point of the conversation because you may realise at the start the victim cannot hear you due to them being deaf, maybe they are blind and cannot see you which makes it harder to communicate. It might not just include Mrs Jones having sensory impairments; there may be a disruption if someone was to barge into the room, maybe to be nosey about the information being spoken about or for help with
What type of nonverbal communication codes are being used to deliver the messages? What effect does each message have on the other people in the image? What nonverbal communication skills and strategies could be used to communicate effectively in this situation? What cultural barriers are seen in this image?

Use of slang terms is not a wise idea, as what is acceptable in generation / culture could be offensive to the next.. We must make sure we are saying exactly what we mean to and clearly enough that so that others are going to hear exactly what the manager / supervisor is trying to say. According to Dr. William F. Kumuyi, some signs of a bad listener are interruptions, inpatients, in attention, bias, and shutting down during communications (Kumuyi, 2008). These examples of being a bad listening skills help keep show the manager / supervisor attuned to how exactly they might be listening or appear to the employee as listening. One can not go through life thinking that it is ok to interrupt or be impatient, for this will tend to make others think you are not listening at all. Communication is a highly important tool in the workforce.
Chand In Richard Rodriguez’s “Aria”, the author makes a clear statement where he believes that a child speaking their native tongue in their daily lives obscures all possible ties with learning the public language. He believes that it is an interference with the learning development and effective transition of the public language. In essence being able to communicate through one’s cultural language is not an act that can be removed from a person’s life as it defines their culture and ethnic values. An individual’s private language might present more meaningful ideas which can be presented than by speaking through the public language for a person. Being flexible with both a private language as well as the public language is a more practical
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
The content in the work is imperative to the messages it communicates. “Take the N-word out of ‘Huckleberry Finn’ and is it still ‘Huckleberry Finn’? Probably not, after all it is a book narrated in Huck’s voice.” writes journalist Delia Lloyd about the subject. The individual ideas in the book can’t be as easily conveyed in ‘politically correct’ language. When Huck says “Jim had an uncommon level head for a nigger” the message he is conveying to the reader will be distorted if you alter what Twain originally wrote; the sentiment will not have been as accurately communicated.
One should not think of being bilingual as disadvantage, but as a way to learn and educate themselves. Having bilingual education offers a completely different world for students of different ethnic background and therefore creates a comfort zone necessary for the maturation of a child to an adult. In his autobiography the Hunger of Memory Rodriguez argues that supporters of bilingualism fail to realize the power of assimilation, and how those who are bilingual and are not realizing "while one suffers a diminished sense of private individuality by becoming assimilated into public society, such assimilation
Nicole Brouwer 2nd hour Honors English Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover “The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.” -Arthur Schopenhauer Stereotyping, superstitions, and being prejudice are all components that lead to misjudging others. Many myths have been associated with different ethnic groups, and it leads to ethnic segregation. An understanding about other cultures may help decrease the negativity and overcomes prejudice. What does being prejudice mean? Why do societies leap at the chance to judge others?
