If unable to communicate service users would be denied this right. In my role as a volunteer I must communicate effectively with all manner of individuals and I have to be aware of how my non verbal communication can be off putting to some individuals. For example, my height can intimidate, my accent can be misinterpreted as aggressive/authoritarian, my tattoos and clothing could be seen as a comfort to someone who identifies with that fashion. All of these issues can impact on communication with an individual who has specific communication needs. By ensuring that I am on same level by sitting down, and by speaking slowly, clearly and calmly, I can ensure that the individual is comfortable and happy to talk to me.
These quotations are very relevant to me, especially because I am a very expressive or kind of a talkative person. These reminded me that even how good or fancy I talk or say something, without backing it up with a clear action it is pointless. That is why it is better to just do more and talk less like the old saying tell us ‘Walk the talk’. Or the more I talk about something the more I should put a better effort in doing it. You would only prove a point if you back you words with definite and clear actions.
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.
The reaction of a s/u is important, they could be in pain, different opinions and portray their feelings. Finding out a s/u communication and language needs is to speak clearly, fluently without hesitating making sure you are understood, if the s/u cannot speak then you can do sign language, communication books, pictures, writing. If you are having problems communicating with your service user then I would ask my manager. If you talk in jargon the s/u will not understand you. Good communication and understanding of your s/u and offering appropriate feedback, they may have a hearing problem and may not get the whole conversation, making sure that there is not any other noise going on in the back ground so that you are clearly understood by either body language, attitude and signs.
Donovan Guerrero Professor Rebecca James English 1010 6 July 2014 In David Crystal’s article “2b or Not 2b”, Crystal discusses why he believes texting is not hindering or destroying language, but instead that the worries, which surround it, have come pointlessly with every new form of communication over time. He also says that texting may add a new dimension to communication, but that there are no substantial negative long terms effects. Ultimately he comes to reason that if a person texts in abbreviated English, they must already understand the way sounds and letters interact to actively create alternate forms of words, and that “If you are aware that your texting behavior is different, you must have already intuited that there is such
It is important that the people I communicate with can reach me in a range of different ways and that I am competent at using these methods- for example accessing secure email accounts, using the in surgery telephone and fax machine and of course face to face contact that is comfortable and open. Barriers and challenges There can sometimes be barriers in communication that are easily solved, such as language barriers, if this is the case, a translator can be provided. Here at our organisation we use a telephone translator- so that no prior arrangements need to be made if an individual needs to be seen urgently. But other barriers can be less
Experience shows that people have little tolerance for extensive question sets for either in-person questioning or by way of survey. A more successful approach is to develop an interview process for an assessor (e.g., security professional) to discuss security issues with the appropriate person with knowledge of that particular area. The interview process discerns all the details of the question set without necessarily asking each and every question. In support of this interview process, consider the following interview guide to engage people in discussions about security in a conversational manner. This conversational manner obtains better cooperation than clinically going through each individual question.
Communication is important in all relationships as it allows us to share our interest, concerns and support for each other. Effective communication is based on the way we talk and listen, how we respond as well as our body language. All too often the signals we send are not those we intend to send. Tannen explains “women are often told they apologizes too much. The reason they’re told to stop doing that is that to many men, apologizing seems synonymous with putting oneself down”(para 4).
Know what you believe in and be gracious in conversation with others. Listening to other viewpoints does not mean you agree but you may be able to understand how the other person feels. I feel taking the time to listen quietly to others is a first step in our private lives to prevent arguments or heated debates. I was checking the Thesaurus for ideas on replacement words for this essay and ironically enough this is what I found: discussion= conversation, debate, argument, dialogue, chat, talk Argument= quarrel, fight, disagreement, dispute, row, spat, squabble, contention This is amazing, apparently we can choose different words but all comes full circle and we land back in the argument culture. The first step is to follow Tannin's advice and stop and look at all sides.
Around the world. As Brazilian economy is rising lately, lots of students from Brazil are studying abroad in colleges, high schools and even in elementary schools in the USA and most of them love it after a short period of time. In the beginning as every new experience in life it tends to be difficult because students had never been in a similar situation before. So students miss their native country and the culture they were used to live daily, so most of them think about going back to Brazil. During the first hard weeks students tend to call their parents hoping to hear some comforting words that only parents can say to their children.
