Community projects are well known for giving students the opportunity to be able to express them selves and learn new tasks and responsibilities. Although, through out my community project path I found myself finding the right lace to learn and achieve the goals as well as the responsibilities and the role of the experience. Yet, the project wasn’t an easy project because I had to deal with different case mangers and different clients. However, through trying and working on my goals, I was to develop my learning experience in term of making healthy relationship with my clients. Pioneer Health Resources was very valuable in term of teaching me how to work with different type of people and different ages. Thus, the project was more than learning; it was more about getting the experience, exploring myself and maintains a healthy to help those who are in need of the extra help. Clients need the extra help due to their language barriers, cultural differences and social differences. Some of those were able to dissimilate their culture; while others …show more content…
Communication is a huge part of our lives because through communication and language is that how we make sense of the world around us. Through language we can share information, express our feelings and creativities. In support, Stanley A. Deetz who wrote the book Democracy in an Age of Corporate Colonization, Dan O’Hair and Mary Wiemann who wrote the book of Real Communication has agreed on the concept of language is symbolic and we need language to better understand the world around us. Thus, this experience has gave me a better understating of the importance of communication. It has a lot taught me how to respect others and how to value time. It made me realize that I have such a rich culture but many people are losing it because of what they had gone
At Community Boards, the skills and disciplines that I learned was that I was able to handle clients through phone calls more effectively and in a manner in which I can be neutral. I also learned to be very patient with some clients over the phone, where some phone calls had spent over an hour of the client’s time talking to me about their issues at their residence. I was able to cultivate the skill of being able to use different communication styles in order to deal with certain people and their styles, for often I would have to deal with people that very emotional, because of their situation, whether they be angry, sad, or hopeless, I had to alter my style of communication to accommodate their needs and try to calm them down. Although I
During the 18th and 19th centuries, sea otters were hunted for their luxurious pelts, and by the early 1900s, the species was believed to be extinct in California. (Carswell) Why do we care you ask, well not only are they super cute and eat with their hands. Apparently, a healthy population of sea otters keeps the sea urchin population in check. An unhealthy or small population of sea otters allows the sea urchin’s number to explode thus decimating kelp beds, which is the sea urchin’s food source, and causing a “chain reaction that depletes the food supply for other marine animals consequently causing their decline. (Kuipers)
Recent advancements in technology have changed society dramatically. Particularly, technology has improved communication throughout the world. The first form of communication other than speaking and letters ...
While all of these solutions can help keep lionfish populations in check, many scientists doubt they will ever be fully eradicated (Cote et al., 2013; Edwards et al., 2014; S. Green, 2014; Morell, 2010). This fate should inspire stricter trade legislation of exotic species along with increased public awareness efforts (Cote et al., 2013). It is an effective example that not all environmental damage is reversible.
Communication is the foundation of any society. Humans are interactive beings that must communicate in order to survive. Humans develop communication skills as infants; learning to yell when something is needed, cry when something is painful, and smile when feeling happy. As babies age they learn words; eventually learning to compose sentences allowing them to express their feelings or desires. Humans finally learn to communicate within different parts of their life with different forms of communication such as letters, spoken, visual, and more. As one ages, they become aware of the different rules of communication used with certain people and situations; such as learning to speak to a teacher in a different manner than how one talks to their friends. While doing this, people are unconsciously starting to learn how to conform in the different discourse communities. Discourse communities are an essential part of life, and learning to communicate in those communities is just as vital.
Miscommunication is a struggle that lives within the world everyday. Being able to understand what another person is trying to convey is an essential part of the way humans interact with one another. When a message is not translated correctly from person to person conflict arises and heated battles rage within a relationship; whether it is a mother and daughter, or two quarreling lovers, or strangers upon the street. All humans are created differently, with diverse upbringings, perspectives, and mindsets. Particular forms of communications may mean different things to various people. When talking about the concept of miscommunications, one must also address the concept of communication itself.
The consumption of Blue fin tuna needs to slow down because the Blue fin Tuna population is trending towards extinction.
...these defects cause procreative issues (Blomberg). The hypoxic zones were shown to decrees the egg hatching parentage to 10% from the previous average of 50% (Blomberg). Thus, dead zones bring lasting negative results in larger fish, and present dangers to bottom-dwelling shellfish.
Throughout the semester, we have studied numerous communication theories. Their purpose is to help understand exactly what happens when we interact with others. We might not necessarily agree with all of the theories, but the idea is to develop tools to evaluate situations we may encounter. Often, when the theories are explained in the readings or lecture, it is beneficial to apply the concepts to a "real life" situation. Using this approach, I will use a situation that many of us have faced, or will face, and analyze it according to a particular communication theory.
Communication involves the exchange of messages and is a process which all individuals participate in. Whether it is through spoken word, written word, non-verbal means or even silence, messages are constantly being exchanged between individuals or groups of people (Bach & Grant 2009). All behaviour has a message and communication is a process which individuals cannot avoid being involved with (Ellis et al 1995).
Before viewing senior projects during my junior year, I had no idea what a senior project was, let alone what I would do for my project. After much consideration over the summer, I decided that I wanted to write a book of poetry for my senior project. I felt as though writing a book of poetry would be a splendid opportunity for self-reflection and that writing this book would help me improve my poetry-writing skills. My main inspiration for wanting to write a poetry book came from a poetry program that one of my previous high schools hosted. Prior to beginning my project, I first planned out what type of poetry I wanted to write, what the main themes of my poetry would be, and how I would publish my book upon project completion.
In a team-oriented setting, everyone contributes to how well the group succeeds overall. You work with fellow members of the group to complete the work that needs to be done. Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer, Orienter, Piggy-Backer, and Encourager. One of our strengths as a team is that we get input from everyone involved. Every member of our team is a leader in some way. Part of being a good leader is knowing how important it is to receive the best ideas from each member of their team. We attend group meetings where we discuss any challenges, issues, and problems. At these meetings, we often exchange ideas or brainstorm new ones with each other and come up with the best and most creative team solutions as potential answers to those perceived problems.
Language. It is a sign of who we are and where we come from. As language defines us, so does it unite us, but it can also impose barriers that drive us apart. As our society aggressively pursues globalization, individuals who maintain cultural sensitivity and strive for effective communication despite language barriers will be an increasingly important commodity; individuals who can also pass the gift of adept communication to others will be invaluable. On the eve of my college graduation, the culmination of four years ' immersion in language and communication and the beginning of a lifetime of educating others in these disciplines, I feel increasingly the weight of
