Chesterfield is making his words feel unnecessary and not worth the time to read. He feels that his rambling won't help his son achieve anything more then he already has, and that his advice can be compared to the garrulity of old age. However, his tone quickly shifts into a much harsher one, as he starts to go off and start tell his son that without his advice, he wouldn't be able to succeed. Chesterfield shifts his letter from a seemingly apologetic mood to a threatening, cold-but-true mood to make sure it catches your eye. Now, he's almost making threats to his son, claiming that if he doesn't listen to his advice, his son will be a failure.
There are those who feel it is just as common as making a phone call and others who feel it has become detrimental to our education and learning. I am one of those people who think texting is a tool. The issues are real. I just don’t believe texting impacts people’s lives as much as some people would lead us to believe. As I trudged through reading two contrasting articles about teenage texting, my first thought was why are authors spending so much time writing articles about this?
The way they are conversation with each other you can really tell that they have been either trying to tell one another that they want them or have already been intimate. In the article, Unconscious verbal coordination of this sort, dubbed language-style matching by the researchers, signifies not how much two people like each other but how much each is paying attention to what the other says, Ireland and her colleagues propose in an upcoming Psychological Science (http://www.usnews.com/science/articles/2010/11/22/shared-talking-styles-herald-new-and-lasting-romance). I would have to agree and disagree with the article because most of the time when the opposite unconscious verbal coordination would be saying how much one likes the other if it is a man. If it is a woman then the article might be true. The results are based on the opposite sex, so I feel as if one is seeing how much one likes them the other will show how much they like them back.
Requests result in an outcome and we need to be clear in advance of whether we desire an outcome to our question and if so, which outcomes we want. Knowing that in advance will help me phrase the request in a positive way which should solicit a positive response. Both NVC and SCARF are great frameworks for leading and managing social interactions. Being aware of them will change how I interact with others, both peers and subordinates. I believe, they can help me “manage up” as well with people I report to.
When this is embodied such that we can act out of it, we can design to take care and anticipate breakdowns. In a January article of US News there was an experiment for comparing the communication skills of strangers and spouses against each other to see who was more effective (US News, 2011). The assumption is that the spouses understand each other more than perfect strangers. The breakdown with this experiment in my opinion is that the spouses could not visually observe each other when making statements; whereby misunderstandings between them were more frequent as a result. Our classroom text commonly identifies the communication type referenced in the US News piece as ‘dyadic communication’ (Sole, K. 2011).
Ms P talked about family life and was upset and cried; she said the children have physical health or mental health issues and she is drained caring for them, Ms P is the main caregiver. Ms P said E two years and A seven months have not been well; E has not attended nursery for 2 days she will be attending tomorrow.I said respite care in the home or if the older children went to a day centre for a few hours would help. Ms P said it was offered to her before and she said no however, she did agree it would be a good idea. Ms P talked about her husband and said he opened the front door the other day and was barking like a dog, she asked him ‘what are you doing?’ and told him to come in. Ms P said he was talking to himself for 3 hours yesterday and it sounded like 3or4 different languages.
But, it was still difficult for me. I felt at a loss because much of my time had been devoted to their needs. My husband attempted to assist me by finding activities and travel to take my mind off of it. But the feeling of loss still lingered. My husband was neutral about them leaving home and though I knew this was the natural progression of life I felt myself presenting him because he didn’t understand and share my feelings.
Procrastination Procrastinate: to be slow or late about doing something that should be done: to delay doing something until a later time because you do not want to do it, because you are lazy, etc. There comes a time in all of our lives where we feel the need to procrastinate. Everybody procrastinates, we put things off because we don’t want to do them. Procrastinating is part of being human. You could be a much better writer if you gave yourself time to create a rough copy, revise, and proofread.
I even asked my dad to stop it, but he said “Once you enter something, it’s really hard to turn your back on that”. So I kept my mouth shut. There are moments when I get tired hearing words like “you have to be like this, do this, change this, and be good and more”. It’s really so frustrating as time goes by. It’s as if you don’t have freedom to do stuffs you really want to do, because people are looking at you, Even though you don’t know them, they act as if they really know you, and one mistake can change everything.
Dear Mother I have been visiting your sister’s family for a week now. I miss you more each day. But I have noticed some concerning things while I have been staying with the Loman family and I am hoping that you will be able to explain what is actually happening. It seems there is a lot of tension in their family. The boys are jolly one moment then sulky and fighting the next.
