Type Of listening: Pseudo-Listening Definition and Discussion: Pseudolisten- To pretend to listen by nodding our heads, looking at the speaker, smiling at the appropriate times, or practicing other kinds of attention feigning. Pseudo-listening is a type of non-listening that consists of appearing attentive and interested in conversation while actually ignoring or only partially listening to the other individual who is speaking. The intent of pseudo-listening is not to listen or understand the meaning or message the speaker is trying to convey, but to cater to some other personal need of the listener like, listening so the now speaker will pay attention and listen when the now listener has a story to tell.

unfortunate to both the speaker and the listener as neither of the two could effectively communicate with one another. I think this type of listening is important to understand to make sure that as a listener you don’t involve yourself in this certain type of listening because it makes it extremely hard to communicate. This form of listening is also extremely rude to the speaker as the listener is failing to give them the proper respect and attention they need/deserve. This kind of listening is very hurtful if the speaker finds out because they see that no one was paying attention to what they were trying to communicate. Date: October 2nd, 2016 Time: 11:50 pm Location: In my dorm, which is room 440 in hall 16. People involved: My boyfriend Joshua Michael Shall and I, Ali St.Germaine.
Background Information/Meaningful data: Our mutual bedtimes are usually 11 pm to 11:30 pm and this was well after so both of us were both extremely exhausted but still trying to talk as we missed each other very much. Joshua had me on speaker and I was laying in bed watching “American Horror Story” and not really paying attention as an extremely scary part came on the show. Scenario Description: Joshua was discussing with me the extremely difficult nature of his accounting class and how he was struggling to keep up with the first year teacher, who wasn’t very great at explaining what the concepts of the class were to her students. This was the information I learned later on because as he was communicating all of this to me I was watching a killer clown put on a show for the children he had kidnapped. Meaning I wasn’t listening to a word Joshua was saying because the Netflix had grabbed my attention. As he was explaining his troubles I was freaking out over the scary clown running around on screen. I shouted and he responded with “What?! What’s wrong? Is it something I said?” Realizing what had occurred I had to sadly explain to him that I wasn’t listening to his troubles, which I believe really hurt his
feelings. Summary analysis: This kind of listening is really hurtful to the speaker because if they find out that they aren’t really being listened to it hurts their self esteem. I should have been paying attention to Joshua so he wouldn’t have had to repeat himself or to realize that sometimes I don’t listen to him.
Listening is an important skill that many people take for granted. Listening empathelicay means putting oneself in “someone else’s shoes”. Listening only to get information takes away much of what the speaker is saying, by being able to empathize with someone one is on the same wavelength. In this world, there exist many different cultures and subcultures.

“There's nothing more debilitating about a disability than the way people treat you over it.” (Solange Nicole). In the film ‘Radio’, a football coach named Jones befriends a disabled student nicknamed Radio despite the outrage of other people, who ended up showing that the social issue of ‘Radio’ is discriminating against people who have disabilities. “Radio” is a hard-hitting film that effectively demonstrated people’s prejudices, due to the fact that the main character Radio is locked in a shed, manipulated into going into the girl’s locker room, and arrested for no explanation other than the fact that he’s disabled.
Elie Wiesel, a holocaust survivor, delivered The Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, in Oslo on December 10, 1986. He started his speech off by reciting the following prayer: "Barukh atah Adonai …shehekhyanu vekiymanu vehigianu lazman hazeh"—"Blessed be Thou…for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this day."

I think he was just trying to get me over to his house so he would be able to talk me out of most of the things that Tom had said about him. I do not know if any of that is real, I do not think his family even has money. But I answered, “No thank you Jay all I want to do is get home, see my child and sleep.” This night was too eventful I am already exhausted. I guess he accepted my actions. All he did was nod. We arrived at my house.

According to the Homeric traditions the philosophical definition of politics was the identification, maintenance, and transformation of community core values from the old to the young generation. Over time civilizations have developed a political system in order to achieve organization, equality, justice, and stability within a community. A political community helps manage laws, distributes power, and plays a crucial role in the development of a virtuous life in citizenry; which is imperative in the term of it’s existence. Contrary to politics, philosophy teaches us to become rationalized beings and to think for ourselves rather than imitating or listening to other people. It also allows us to reason and use logic to make sense of things for

The first phase in the listening process is attending. Attending is willfully striving to perceive selected sounds. The most important factor of attending is preparing to be physically and mentally ready to pay attention. We should focus mainly on attending to the message rather than encountering inner thoughts and feelings. In my day-to-day life, I try to get ready to attend even though it could be difficult at times. For instance, the other day when I was home, I had an argument with my mother and I started back talking her. But I realized that I should look directly at her and situate myself correctly. After she finished speaking, I understood what she had meant and that was when I saw an improvement in myself because it made it look like I was interested in what she was saying. To advance your attending skills, another important factor is making the shift from speaker to listener...
A skill, according the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, is a learned power of doing something competently: a developed aptitude or ability. The skill of listening is a skill that I believe everyone should have but most people lack. Many people do not realize that listening is not merely the act of hearing a sound but of paying close attention to what someone is saying and trying to understand the message that they are trying to relate to you. Most times people say they are listening when in all actuality they are merely hearing you but not even attempting to understand what is being spoken of. The advantages of being a good listener are vast. This skill can positively affect many parts of our everyday life and interaction with people. Nevertheless, it is a skilled that is overlooked in today’s unmindful society. The reason I believe that listening is of such importance is because nowadays people have developed the mentality of “every man for himself.” People are not concerned about their fellows anymore. We are only concerned about our own issues and problems. Listening is a skill that is acquired throughout a lifetime. It is an important virtue when it comes to communication.People should be taught from childhood the importance of learning how to listen. If we realized how much we would benefit from being good listeners, I believe that things would change. Lack of listening skills affects marriages, parents and children, teachers and students, employers and employees, foreign affairs, and the list goes on.
