On my Informative speech I talked about how online dating started from the newspaper to computers and apps that can be easily installed on mobiles. I will change and make sure my speech can be understood by all six types of different people in a room. Power Distance: It will be easier to present my speech because, in reality, less powerful people accept the power that is distributed unequally. However, that doesn’t happen in online dating because online dating doesn’t have a number of hierarchy levels, participative style of management, autocracy in leadership, and authority that is centralized. They will just have to answer two types of questions such as; answering questions, and their choice of whom to like and whom to not like. It will …show more content…
Uncertainty Avoidance: Members belonging to a society are capable of coping with not only future but also, new uncertainty without going through stress. Dating sites are flexible, and people can have a tendency to avoid risk by been careful. These types of people can easily understand my speech, even if they heard it for the first time because dating apps are somewhat similar to avoidance characteristics. However, I would have to be more specific in presenting the speech so they may understand it better. Long Vs Short Term Orientation (high Confucian values: Is based on the Confusion dynamism. In this case, my speech about online dating will be complicated for them to understand because this types of people are virtue comprises acquiring skills, working hard, are educated, stress on possessing a sense of shame, and positive association with economic growth. I will have to do more research on how to find a better way to present the speech, would have to find more examples to back up the speech. It will be difficult to present the speech on short-term orientation because these types of people focus on respect for tradition. They will not agree on various points because the main purpose of online dating is to search for people for whom they never met in person. However, short orientation needs meeting people in a tradition way, not through the

.1. Why do some people advertise themselves for a date in a newspaper or online?
The continued advancement of information and communication technologies has virtualized interpersonal communication process in various ways. Initial definitions of Interpersonal Communication indicated that the interaction/s needs to be face-to-face, but now with technological innovations the concept is getting disputed. In terms of dating (within my age group), prevalent usage of dating websites, and phone apps such as Tinder, OkCupid, and Match are normal and standard. In an article published in The Atlantic it stated, “American adults ages 18 to 24 used online-dating sites and apps at an average rate for all American adults—about 10 percent. Since then, that rate has almost tripled. College-aged and post-college-aged Americans are now the most likely demographic to turn to the technology” (Robinson Meyer, The Atlantic.com). The interactions and behaviors of dating using
In the field of Interpersonal Communication, intimate relationships are something to being closely examined to understand what breeds liking, closeness, intimacy, topic avoidance, and initiation of romance. Timothy R. Levine, a Professor of Communication at Michigan State University has published more than 100 journal articles in his field. Throughout his career he has focused mainly on interpersonal communication, cross-culture communication, and research methods. He was published in Communication Quarterly, a notable journal for his field, in 2006 for his article “Love Styles and Csjdommunication in Relationships: Partner Preferences, Initiation, and Intensification”. Communication Quarterly is an academic journal that was first published in 1953 featuring quality, peer reviewed research of the communication discipline edited by nineteen scholars fro...
Love has been around since the beginning of time and for as long as romantic relationships have been around; people have tried various ways of meeting one another. The mid-1990s marked the start of online dating and since then has evolved into a much more common method of dating. Online dating is typically taken advantage of in one of two ways. Some people prefer to create their own profile and rely on themselves to choose their mate choice, while others allow the online dating services to create matches between the online subscribers. In a recent study conducted by Pew Research Center they found that one in ten American’s are using an online dating site to help them locate a spouse or a long term partner (Smith 1). Due to the advances in technology in recent years, online dating has developed into a resource that has become culturally accepted and has advanced in many ways, but with that comes mate choice, safety concerns, and the outlook on online dating.
Communication between males and females has always been somewhat complicated. Because we are arguing that males and females have different cultures we wanted to take a look at what some of these differences might be. According to our research the inherent differences between male and female culture are the different roles that society holds for them and the ways these roles lead to different communication styles. The stereotypes that men and women grow up with affect the types of ways in which they communicate. We first wanted to take a look at how they specifically differ while men and women are arguing or having normal conversations. We also looked at the different types of networks that men and women share. These networks also differ and as do the reasonings for their formation. Although we do not think that men and women need to change their cultures to effectively communicate, we do think that better communication is possible. One of the researchers we took a look at was Deborah Tannen. According to Tannen the reason that men and women do not communicate well is that men and women use language differently. Women take the attitude that conversation is to explore solutions to common problems while men concern themselves more with getting information and hard data from conversation. Tannen states that what women look for in communication is human connection, while men consider status to be most important. They are looking for independence and are constantly looking for higher accomplishments. Intimacy threatens this independence, so men have a tendency to avoid it. One of the old sayings about women is that they talk more than men. It turns out that it is not necessarily true. Women seem to talk more in private conversations than do men. Women do not generally have a fear of intimacy and therefore are much more open with one another during private conversations. It is more difficult for women to use this type of communication style in the public arena. In that case it is men that do most of the talking. Tannen ultimately argues that men use communication as a weapon. They use long explanations to command attention from who it is they are speaking to. They use it to convey information and to ultimately gain agreement. Tannen suggests that through even simple conversation men are continually protecting their status. She sugg...
One of the major arguments of the book is that the dating world has changed with the evolution of technology. Technology has created more possibilities for connections and finding partners than ever. These partners can now be found further and further from an individual’s home town. Unlike before where it was common practice to marry someone close to home. Ansari discovered this fact doing some follow up research after interviewing the elderly in a retirement home in New York City: “One-third of the couples who got married had lived within a five-block radius of each other before they got married,” (p 15).
Tinder is a mobile dating app that has taken over the online dating world and alarmingly beat out its competitors. With its game like layout, which makes the app enjoyable to use, Tinder’s amount of daily users has exponentially increased. Tinder has become popular because humans are attracted to Tinder’s design and logistics which play into real life situations. Tinder sets itself apart from other dating apps because the app acknowledges human nature’s psychology of attraction, banishes the fear of rejection, and pushes its users enough to communicate with other users.
In the TED Talk, “How to Skip the Small Talk and Connect with Anyone,” the speaker, Kalina Silverman, builds an argument that supports her theory of “Big Talk” (Silverman, “How to Skip the Small Talk and Connect with Anyone”). This idea involves skipping the trivial questions and going straight to more deep thinking questions. In theory, this should help develop a more meaningful relationship between people. Silverman expands on this concept, as well as, justify it during her presentation. In this textual analysis, I will be focusing on Silverman’s construction of ideas and her methods of which her material is presented.
An aspect of technology that is not often discussed is the effect it has on personal communication. When presented with a situation in which one wants to tell their significant other “I love you” many would opt say this via text message rather than in person. Technology also provides us with the ability to solve the uncertainty associated with a situation. But, rather than meeting people in person to solve uncertainty, one can choose to browse the person...
After doing more research in the impact of technology on interpersonal relation, I realized that technology isn’t all that great, because it hinder us from socializing practically and create a healthy interpersonal relationship. In like manner, the same goes for online dating because in my opinion, effective communication still needs to be done in person. Body language, voice tone, and physical contact make a huge difference in making conversation more alive.
Based on a research of Online Dating & Relationships, Smith and Duggan stated that the ways of finding partners have been changed with the times. In the past, people used matchmaking, arranged marriages and printed personal ads. With the rapid technology advancement, there are alternative methods - online dating sites and smart phone dating apps. To compare with the people who date traditionally, people who date online are active to choose their dream man or woman by browsing the others profiles (9).
When reading the opening lecture I cringed at the thought of dealing with communication. Sort of that belly ache feeling you get when you had to do an oral presentation in front of the class in elementary school. I understand have a number of strong qualities but self-image and my perception are still traits I long to improve.
To What Degree Does Online Dating Change the Way People Form Relationships? Social/ Cultural Rachel Moore AP Seminar Period 6 Introduction: The use of online dating has tremendously increased in the past decade with 59% of Americans saying it is a good way to meet people, from a 2015 Pew Research Center Survey. Online dating has seen a rise in usage from the LGBT community, a rise in racially diverse relationships, and a steady incline of heterosexual couples.

I realized that my speech should flow back and forth between the discussions of effective vs. ineffective communication. This strategy will better illustrate to my audience how to successfully get their ideas across.
