Because of this, authors were more liable to take care with what they wrote. Today, with word processors, and programs to check spelling and grammar, this activity is much less common. Instead of carefully considering both the original words and any correction, the ease with which ideas can be revised allows ideas to be written down without much forethought, as errors are easily dealt with. Technology evolves rapidly and what was considered new and unique becomes old and commonplace. The following three different types of literacy practices are all currently in use: Newspaper vs. Blogs Regular mail and phone are typically used for one-on-one communication.
The advantages of this method of communication is that Samir would find a way to communicate without him, express his feeling and interact more with others. However the disadvantages of British sign language is that it is not suited for people like Samir, as he does not have a hearing impatient, but he is partially sighted so seeing the signs but be a problem. The second strategy reviewed in m2 was to teach Samir English, this method was going great until the staff member allocated to do with job had to leave. The advantages of teaching Samir English were that it was not a short term solution when Samir learns English it’s a tool he will use and need when he goes onto to leave happy valley special school. The disadvantage to this strategy was that the staff member was not coming in every day.
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.
The context of the text is also more appealing to me: talking about the positive and good things about social media rather than scaremongering and causing dread in just the simple use of them. I also prefer the basic white background with black text rather than the colourful background because it’s a bit distracting and it doesn’t add anything to the text itself. Also the text in the leaflet seems to be comprised mainly of facts and statistics which do not appeal to me nor do they sway my current opinion of social networking as a whole. The leaflet being in leaflet form however is the biggest reason that it doesn’t appeal me. If it were in a form of a website it could perhaps be more enticing and more appealing to me, but alas it is not.
Outcome 4.2 Explain the importance of an accessible complaints procedure for reducing the likelihood of abuse It is important to have an easy accessible complaints procedure so people know where to find it. They may not want people to know they are filing a complaint so may not want to ask where the forms are. It should be a straight forward form and not too complicated as people may not bother to fill it out otherwise. More issues can be dealt with once a form has been filled out and it can reduce the likelihood of abuse. Unit
The examples provided in the text illustrate just how easy it is to be redundant and not realize it. For example, phrases such as “absolutely essential “or “a total of 68 participants” are errors regularly committed on my part. Being able to identify redundancy will be a focus as I work towards more clear and concise writing. As a commitment to reducing bias in writing, the rule I will remember is “recognizing that differences should be mentioned only when relevant” (p. 71). I did not realize how easy it is to unintentionally use bias language.
Poor communication will make people feel at least let down and ignored to very angry and upset. The better the communication the better people work together and the better people’s needs are recognised and taken into account. 2.2 Describe the factors to consider when promoting effective communication There are many different factors to consider for effective communication, You have to take into account peoples basic understanding of the subject, If you talk down to people they will get upset yet if you don’t explain enough they won’t be able to follow and understand. Communication is best tailored to suit each person. Other factors to consider are: Language - there is no point in talking in computer code if the other party has never used one.
Disease processes and health care information is intimidating to most people. Therefore presenting the information in a simplistic format increases the patient’s understanding and decrease anxiety. Additionally, National Health Institute (NIH) developed clear and simple which is a document to help develop print material for low literacy readers (“health literacy”, n.d.). Writing that is clear takes less time to read and understand. Clear communication is easily understood and avoids creating barriers that set us apart from the people with whom we are communicating (“health literacy”, n.d.).
Online communication has become how people communicate with each other. When writing emails or responding to them can be hard to do unless you use good writing etiquette can avoid offending people. Inclusive language is defined as language that avoids the use certain expressions or words that might be considered to exclude a particular group of people. Inclusive language is a key to good writing for readers. He could have avoided offending classmates by proofreading his post before posting.
A visible sign of informal communication is the natural, easy style people use when communicating this way. Informal communication can be good because it can put people at ease and make them feel more comfortable. Sometimes people need to communicate differently because they might be blind, meaning they can’t see and this could make the communication harder because they won’t be able to see any hand gestures or facial expressions and they won’t be able to read emails or writing unless it’s in Braille (a form of writing based on using patterns of raised dots to represent different letters and numbers). A person could alsobe deaf and this will make communication harder because they can’t hear you talking,but they will be able to understand hand gestures, facial expressions and they may be able to lip read. Deaf people may be able to hear if they use a hearing aid, which is anelectro acoustic device which fits behind the person’s ear, and helps to amplify the sound being made around them.A person would also have trouble communication if they had a disability like autism, where people have trouble communicating and developing socially.
