This isn’t the norm for communication because as Sole (2011) states “all societies communicate the history, traditions, and values of their culture through oral communication; the roots of oral communication reach as far back in human history as scholars can trace, and more recently, writing was used to communicate from generation to generation. When we communicate with others, we learn about their cultural heritage and what is important in a particular culture; we also learn about our own cultural heritage. The “letter” seemed like the perfect way to overcome the emotional intelligence aspect. Emotions were “lost in translation” and had there been a better understanding of the emotional turmoil I was in, oral communication would have greatly benefitted from emotional intelligence by all parties
One of the plans was to motivate staff to reach goals in a positive manner. One of the practical example that was given is to use contests and incentives to help keep workers motivated and feeling rewarded. I could immediately relate and understand the task at hand. With hands on, I am able to do, and perform the learned skill as it is being taught to me. I recently started a new position at my current work place and the software that this department uses is totally different from what I was accustom to using for the past thirteen years.
I would either type as though I am talking rather than using proper grammar; reviewing is a tool that I always have needed to utilize because of this. I always have needed to review what I am writing and reading to make sure that my information is conveyed correctly. | Wrap-up questions: How successful was the SQ3R process in helping you grasp the concepts in the section you selected?

Analyse own responsibilities for promoting equality and valuing diversity. Introduction This written account will consider how I establish and recognise individual learner differences, needs, and what resources have been given, enabling the learner to move forward with differing ICT Skills with in my working environment. Having met numerous learners on an individual and group basis over the years, I have learnt that although we are all human we are all very different. As I work with learners who have disabilities, ranging from Dyslexia and Dyspraxia to Visual Impairment and physical disabilities, I have always treated the learner primarily as human and not that they are disabled, although this of course has to be considered when teaching specific software and finding out what their difficulties are. For example, When I enter the learners environment, I may see various coloured post-it notes on a wall, this would lead me to ask firstly if reading from a coloured background helps them see words on paper better than from a white background.
We become accustomed to each of our own cultural traditions that we sometimes forget that we all have different ways of expressing our culture. Gonzalez makes it a point that culture does not just go as far as one’s ethnical background. Culture goes as far beyond as a person’s everyday lifestyles, rituals, and experiences. In our educational system, educators often make the assumption of knowing a student’s knowledge and experience based on their race, ethnicity, or nationality. However, they fail to realize the differences of each student’s culture based on the everyday practices they participate in.
As time passed, further demands materialised. For example, I was never allowed time off if unwell, and was expected to continue working wearing a surgical mask. I recall feeling angry both with myself and the parents for the situation I was in. Being new to the vocation, I felt I had no choice but to do as I had been told, after-all, not only was I the employee, but I also lived with the family. Whenever demands were made of me or if I had a query, the mother was always unwilling to make a decision alone.
P A R T I V Communicate Your Ideas ome students will be surprised to find the subject of communication included in a book on thinking because they assume that the two subjects are unrelated. In reality, they are closely related. To begin with, expressing ideas clari- fies them. As Mortimer Adler, an American philosopher, explains: “Thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The person who says he knows what he thinks but cannot express it usually does not know what he thinks.”* In addition, the kinds of ideas we are concerned with in this book—solutions to problems and issues—are most meaningful when they are communicated to other people.
Toni Hall September 18,2012 Writing Bill Nedrow I had to cope with being the new kid at two different schools. At my first school I didn’t know anyone, the environment was different, and they had us working. At my second school I knew a lot of people, I wasn’t use to the children behavior, and events happened that I never experienced. Switching from school to school is very difficult. The very first high school that I attended was Christ The King which was a catholic school, and because I was the new kid I really didn’t know anyone.
Stop the Neglect By: Lexi Armbright Imagine sending your child to work and not knowing if they will be back or not. This is the reality for many families in different countries. There are many issues that are affecting this world little at a time. But one that is absolutely disturbing is the lack of child labor laws in so many countries.

Mostly, our identity can change easily when we belong to a group, maybe it is because of we get influenced. Other than this, virtual communities can provide us a new identity if we are frighten to show our true self. To see from another perspective, I think it is the place of school that enables us to learn about ourselves which gives us the confidence to develop our identity. Family is the first group to which the majority of people ever belong to. The culture and values our family instill in us determine our characteristics initially, and as we mature through time.
