Queer theory – examines, questions, and criticizes the role of gender identity and sexuality in literature
i've read from some of these people i love there writing
ostcolonialism – focuses on the influences of colonialism in literature, especially regarding the historical conflict resulting from the exploitation of less developed countries and indigenous peoples by Western nations Edward Said, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Homi Bhabha and Declan Kiberd Postmodernism – criticism of the conditions present in the twentieth century, often with concern for those viewed as social deviants or the Other Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Maurice Blanchot
These seem connected in a way as they focus one after another to me
Gender (see feminist literary criticism) – which emphasizes themes of gender relations
I'm so excited to dive into this topic i'll have to see if i can find some of these womens books
Cultural studies – emphasizes the role of literature in everyday life
Do stories based of real events fall into this category?
Aestheticism
I've never heard of this when talking about romanticism, I wonder why most people chose to skip it if there assoicated?
although many contemporary theorists and literary scholars believe either that “literature” cannot be defined or that it can refer to any use of language
Reminds me of how poeple describe art in a way
modern sense of “literary theory,” however, dates only to approximately the 1950s
Why call it the modern sense if it's the older version?
practice of literary theory became a profession in the 20th century
I though it would be much earlier but the 20th centrury seem so new

expectations
I think that this is the main key to salience and perception. The expectation that we have, even if subconsciously, is a limitation on how we perceive things and how attracting they are to us. For instance, if a tire blows out, it would be perceived as negative and of great salience, because the expectation is that the tire will do what it is supposed to do for the duration of said drive.
We tend to pay attention to information that we perceive to meet our needs or interests in some way. This type of selective attention can help us meet instrumental needs and get things done. When you need to speak with a financial aid officer about your scholarships and loans, you sit in the waiting room and listen for your name to be called. Paying close attention to whose name is called means you can be ready to start your meeting and hopefully get your business handled. When we don’t think certain messages meet our needs, stimuli that would normally get our attention may be completely lost.
This seems like leftover hunter-gatherer/feeding-breeding attention parsing. When I'm alert for intruders, my eyes notice motion and my ears discern sounds that stand out. If I'm hungry, I notice the smells of food. In contrast to that, my brain turns down the 'noise' from things that aren't top priorities. If I'm full of food, I don't get distracted by the smell of pizza. This kind of automatic deciphering is attached to the autonomic nervous system I think.
It is probably not surprising to learn that visually and/or aurally stimulating things become salient in our perceptual field and get our attention. Creatures ranging from fish to hummingbirds are attracted to things like silver spinners on fishing poles or red and yellow bird feeders. Having our senses stimulated isn’t always a positive thing though. Think about the couple that won’t stop talking during the movie or the upstairs neighbor whose subwoofer shakes your ceiling at night. In short, stimuli can be attention-getting in a productive or distracting way
I read that the sense of smell is highly vigilant when it comes to telling a person if something is dangerous or not. The article said that we first notice some smells because the brain is trying to see if its something related to fight or flight, such as smoke from a housefire, gas from a stove, or bodyodor from a teenager. Once the brain has determined (either consciously or subconsciously) that the smell isn't deadly or dangerous then it stops processing the smell in a way that causes alarm. That's why some smells seem to go away, but are really still there. Its an explanation as to why some people are 'nose blind' after being around a smell for long enough.
perception to make judgments about personality traits, credibility, deception, and the presence or absence of a weapon, among others things, and just like you and me, officers use the same process of selection, organization, and interpretation. This research has found that officers, like us, rely on schema to help them make decisions under time and situational constraints
I agree with you Justin many people get prejudged. However, how seasoned an officer is and how well they communicate and lend themselves to looking outside the box make for better experiences instead of the "God complex." I can say that in my own experience there have been many times where Schemata has saved me from very bad situations when I have made prejudgments'. Again, not all my judgments have been correct and thus I've learned and looked to make better interactions.
We’ve all been in a similar situation at some point in our lives, so we know that revising our schemata can be stressful and that such revision takes effort and usually involves some mistakes, disappointments, and frustrations. But being able to adapt our schemata is a sign of cognitive complexity, which is an important part of communication competence. So, even though the process may be challenging, it can also be a time for learning and growth.
Being observant and noticing details has never meant I wasn't wrong. I've learned so much from allowing myself to be open to different viewpoints and how to reorganize how I look at situations. What I might have perceived wasn't correct and based on that and working with a teammate I get the opportunity to grow and expand in my skill set of ok this is a better way to do this and get the results.
mental structures known as schemata.
Usually in the work place I am not the best with names. I look at cameras quite often and I have to be able to recognize people by how they present themselves. Usually people walk with a shuffle, a limp, don't distribute their weight evenly on their feet. The way they swing their hands or hold their body is how I relate to individuals instead of their names. I know quite odd but even when not looking at cameras I relate to people with how they physically carry themselves. I used to be a massage therapist, and we learned the body can say many things about individuals you just have to stand back and observe what is being reflected.
Interpretation is the third part of the perception process, in which we assign meaning to our experiences using mental structures known as schemata.
A ton of my interpretation is definitely based off personal and professional experience. But then again it is also based off of the mood that I am in. How much of a threshold do I have for my brain functionality that day? Interpretation and what is being relayed sometime is just to dang hard. Especially if the point isn't being made. Sometimes I'm ok get on with it please? Then I lose interest and stop talking sure I nod my head but if I am at that point, I am already done trying to figure it out.
rganizing is the second part of the perception process, in which we sort and categorize information that we perceive based on innate and learned cognitive patterns. Three ways we sort things into patterns are by using proximity, similarity, and difference
Using proximity, similarity, and differences I feel are something that is second nature. Going thru the Post academy it is something that I was aware of before but then it became more prominent when working in the system. When working around incarcerated individuals you pick up on the similarities and differences quickly and you have to be prepared to respond accordingly.
information that we perceive to meet our needs or interests in some way.
Driving individuals around opens the way for diverse perspectives. I rarely find myself not interested in listening if they are on their phones talking while I am driving them to their destination. Usually, I look at the individual's picture before picking them up and I decide on the type of music they might like. That usually opens the door to conversations or hey I remember when. Thus, the passenger is unknowingly diving into something we have in common.
“Public Speaking in Various Contexts”, altering the rate, volume, and pitch of your voice, known as vocal variety, can help keep your audience engaged, as can gestures and movement. Conversely, nonverbal adaptors, or nervous movements we do to relieve anxiety like pacing or twirling our hair, can be distracting. Aside from minimizing distractions and delivering our messages enthusiastically, the content of our communication also affects salience.
In my interactions I've been more conscious of my true reflective feelings. How am I coming across to the individual and what do I really want to say? Is what I am reflecting correct, and did I leave some kind of small impact than just a word dump? If I was genuinely happy was that reflected in my conversation? If I was extremely tired when asked if I was ok did, I just perceive that and nothing else? How was my projected voice? In working with tons of individuals from many cultures it gives way to different perspective.
We tend to pay attention to information that is salient. Salience is the degree to which something attracts our attention in a particular context.
Salience is very important to me considering my attention span sucks! I have to really be captivated by someone, or something really has to seem out of place and then I notice it and actually sit back and observe the details. But then again, I notice a ton of details and I usually look at what is there even with people in public and behaviors. Maybe it has to do with the professions I have had, and detail has always been important. Sounds contradicting but personal level, I try not to notice, professional always have to.
Although perception is a largely cognitive and psychological process, how we perceive the people and objects around us affects our communication. We respond differently to an object or person that we perceive favorably than we do to something we find unfavorable. But how do we filter through the mass amounts of incoming information, organize it, and make meaning from what makes it through our perceptual filters and into our social realities?
I feel like with this sometimes it's immediate. Glance a look up and down and decision of do I think it is worth it or not. Do I actually have time to interact. Would it be someone I could connect with. This response yes clearly judgmental. Even when I do not intend to be this way. I always have to tell my inner voice I have to keep an open mind. Honestly what can I learn from this individual or situation?

Communication competence refers to the knowledge of effective and appropriate communication patterns and the ability to use and adapt that knowledge in various contexts.
I chose to annotate this because it captures the exact essence of what is means to be a competent communicator. it shows that communication isn't just about knowing what to say, but also about understanding how exactly to apply that particular knowledge effectively in different ways. this really resonates with me because I find myself in different social, and academic settings where its necessary to change my communication style to make good connections and to ensure the other person(s) understands
Of college students, 15 to 20 percent experience high trait CA, meaning they are generally anxious about communication. Furthermore, 70 percent of college students experience some trait CA, which means that addressing communication anxiety in a class like the one you’re taking now stands to benefit the majority of students
That is a much higher number than i expected. Even though I dont have crippling communication anxiety around public speaking, I do have anxiety around personal, one on one conflict resolution.
To be a competent communicator, you should have cognitive knowledge about communication based on observation and instruction; understand that individual, social, and cultural contexts affect competence; and be able to adapt to those various contexts. Getting integrated: The NCA notes that developing communication competence in speaking and listening will help college students in academic, professional, and civic contexts.
I feel these two point tie into the listen to understand and not to respond practices along with phatic communication. Bringing psychology into this one of the things that is ensured human to human is the interest in themselves, whether self preservation or simply self interest. People usually default to listening to respond due to subconscious need to talk about themselves and relate to themselves.
hich is to notice and reflect on your communication more. And that already puts you ahead of most people!”
This is probably my favorite quote from his text. It is realistic and it is clear that this is a skill you learn throughout your whole life. This class just gives you a level-up that you may not have if you did not take it. It will make you more aware of things you may not have even known were a fault before. I also think that learning to be more mindful of those we are communicating with will help us to communicate in general. Therefore creating a better social cycle for those involved.
Knowing the dimensions of competence is an important first step toward developing competence. Everyone reading this book already has some experience with and knowledge about communication. After all, you’ve spent many years explicitly and implicitly learning to communicate. For example, we are explicitly taught the verbal codes we use to communicate. On the other hand, although there are numerous rules and norms associated with nonverbal communication, we rarely receive explicit instruction on how to do it. Instead, we learn by observing others and through trial and error with our own nonverbal communication. Competence obviously involves verbal and nonverbal elements, but it also applies to many situations and contexts. Communication competence is needed in order to understand communication ethics, to develop cultural awareness, to use computer-mediated communication, and to think critically. Competence involves knowledge, motivation, and skills. It’s not enough to know what good communication consists of; you must also have the motivation to reflect on and better your communication and the skills needed to do so.
Love this paragraph about developing competence . It demonstrates that not everyone know the hidden rules of communication weather it be verbal or non-verbal. We learn these rules but observation of other interactions. Its like when my kids lived with their mother and came to visit or live with me . There are different ways I communicate with them . Their mom did things differently based on how she was raised and observed those interactions.
Decades of research conducted by communication scholars shows that communication apprehension is common among college students (Priem & Solomon, 2009). Communication apprehension (CA) is fear or anxiety experienced by a person due to actual or imagined communication with another person or persons. CA includes multiple forms of communication, not just public speaking. Of college students, 15 to 20 percent experience high trait CA, meaning they are generally anxious about communication. Furthermore, 70 percent of college students experience some trait CA, which means that addressing communication anxiety in a class like the one you’re taking now stands to benefit the majority of students (Priem & Solomon, 2009).
I'm also one of those people that feels anxious when it comes to speaking in public or presenting something in class. I'm glad that down below it shows the 10 ways to reduce the anxiety I'm going to try it. I think it will take me a while but the more I practice I will do better.
Much of what we do in a classroom—whether it is the interpersonal interactions with our classmates and professor, individual or group presentations, or listening—is discussed in this textbook and can be used to build or add to a foundation of good communication skills and knowledge that can carry through to other contexts.
I annotated this because I feel like it really highlights what the real world application of our communication skills is. It shows that some of the things we are going to do in class wont just be for grades, its also to help us succeed! but it reminds me that this will build a solid foundation for effective communication, and fostering these skills and begin applying them
Communication Is a Process
This portion of this chapter made me realize how closely connected communication (to the degree that we are about to learn about in this class) and psychology go hand in hand. As communication goes, i know there are words, inflections, context, that all come into play when using the strictest definition of communicating to someone, but the whole entirety of communication also encapsulates the body language, hand gestures things of that nature that can help or hurt the connection you are typing to make with another person that they can perceive differently than intended hurting the relationship you are trying to build by saying "hey how are you?" in a passing manner.
Murdering someone is generally thought of as unethical and illegal, but many instances of hurtful speech, or even what some would consider hate speech, have been protected as free speech. This shows the complicated relationship between protected speech, ethical speech, and the law.
Freedom of speech is a very nebulous and nuanced thing. The freedom of all speech, not just the speech we agree with, has to be protected. Its when that speech begins to incite violence that the complications come into play. We all have the right to say whatever we want, but that doesnt mean that there arent circumstances where communication becomes unethical and downright dangerous
The National Association of Colleges and Employers has found that employers most desire good communication skills in the college graduates they may hire
Having good communication skills often means you will have good people skills and be able to work on a team, so it doesnt surprise me that this is one of if not the most important trait in future hires
Human beings are social creatures, which makes communication important for our survival. In fact, prolonged isolation has been shown to severely damage a human
This really made me think about how difficult communication with anyone and everyone was during the pandemic, and since the ending of shut downs and quarantines I have noticed a deterioration of social skills and social communication. It seems that the amount of time we had to spend in isolation damaged communication abilities
Poor listening skills were shown to contribute significantly to failure in a person’s first year of college. Also, students who take a communication course report more confidence in their communication abilities, and these students have higher grade point averages and are less likely to drop out of school.
This really struck a chord with me. I have been a staff trainer at different jobs and people with poor listening skills dont get as far as people who can listen, comprehend and retain information
Phatic communion is an instructive example of how we communicate under the influence of rules and norms (Senft, 2009). Phatic communion refers to scripted and routine verbal interactions that are intended to establish social bonds rather than actually exchange meaning. When you pass your professor in the hall, the exchange may go as follows:
This type of situation that hits my 'tism/adhd ticks with a vengeance. I truly struggle with these daily interactions every time i come into contact with them. As someone with a passion for psychology i do fully understand the reason for phatic communion and why humans in general need these human to human transactions, again the true "lone Wolf" comes into play. Why would someone not shorten the wasted time in having a falsified conversation about how you are doing, when neither party has an interest in the response and usually using these interactions as a segway into talking about themselves. I usually throw a head nod, it saves so much time and the same interest insome one is conveyed. I suppose i come across this issue because i am someone that asks you a question because i actually care about the answer you are giving and have no interest in talking about myself in the process. Im working on this with myself but its the hardest thing in the world to be apart of for myself.
Some common instrumental needs include influencing others, getting information we need, or getting support (Burleson, Metts, & Kirch, 2000). In short, communication that meets our instrumental needs helps us “get things done.”
Learning communication or simply getting better at it is not only beneficial to the person taking the class but also to those around them. People can most definitely appreciate someone who can communicate simply and being able to get a point across. It is all-in-all a beneficial tool to everyone involved with it. It is also safe to say that it can help benefit most if not all people who use it well and appropriately.
Although younger people have tended not to be as politically engaged as other age groups, the current generation of sixteen- to twenty-nine-year-olds, known as the millennial generation, is known to be very engaged in volunteerism and community service.
I remember being much more politicly active when I was younger. When I was 19 I became a precinct comity person for the republican party in Lane county Oregon. It took a lot of phone calls with local voters and in person conversations in order to get elected. I was disappointed when I went to the comity meets when all they would ever talk about was where the missing money for the local party had gone. The failures in communication I witnessed then has forever made me distrust political systems and parties. Sometimes communication is lacking is some of the most important public situations, especially political processes.
This book is meant to help people see the value of communication in the real world and in our real lives. When I say real, I don’t mean to imply that there is some part of our world or lives that is not real. Since communication is such a practical field of study, I use the word real to emphasize that what you’re reading in this book isn’t just about theories and vocabulary or passing a test and giving a good speech. I also don’t mean to imply that there is a divide between the classroom and the real world. The “real world” is whatever we are experiencing at any given moment. In order to explore how communication is integrated into all parts of our lives, I have divided up our lives into four spheres: academic, professional, personal, and civic. The boundaries and borders between these spheres are not solid, and there is much overlap. After all, much of what goes on in a classroom is present in a professional environment, and the classroom has long been seen as a place to prepare students to become active and responsible citizens in their civic lives. The philosophy behind this approach is called integrative learning, which encourages students to reflect on how the content they are learning connects to other classes they have taken or are taking, their professional goals, and their civic responsibilities.
I like how the paragraph about how communication is integrated into all part of our lives. Its a need in our daily lives. We have tons of ways to have some kind of communications . Its apart of the human aspect of life to engage with each other . I couldn't imagen not having no communication. I particular don't care for some communication but do enjoy some.
many students still resist taking communication classes. Perhaps people think they already have good communication skills or can improve their skills on their own. While either of these may be true for some, studying communication can only help. In such a competitive job market, being able to document that you have received communication instruction and training from communication professionals (the faculty in your communication department) can give you the edge needed to stand out from other applicants or employees.
I agree that its true some people are good at communicating, and they are not afraid to speak up Infront of a lot of people. while I also think it's best to participate in a communication class because we learn different skills of being good communicators, like my instructor Jim Poston mentioned on the first day of class about our postures, the voice we use and a lot of things that makes our communication better.
The transaction model of communication describes communication as a process in which communicators generate social realities within social, relational, and cultural contexts.
This resonated with me just because it really shows how communication goes past just sending messages, it shows how the way we communicate with each other is deeply influenced by the relationships we have and the background we come from. This really makes me think about my relationships where i sometimes have to adapt my style of communication based on the history we have or the differences in culture we have. when we engage in conversations its not just words, its shaping our whole lives.
The transmission model of communication describes communication as a linear, one-way process in which a sender intentionally transmits a message to a receiver
This breaks down the concept of communication into something pretty simple to me, just that it is a one-way street. It makes me think of how many times that ive sent a message just assuming they knew what I was thinking when I sent it, and just made me think of how much gets, "lost in translation" especially if I didnt read over it a few times to make sure it was clear. it really displays how important it is to make sure your communication is clear, especially in things like texts or emails where you cant get a good read on the tone, or body language of someone.
The transaction model of communication describes communication as a process in which communicators generate social realities within social, relational, and cultural contexts. In this model, we don’t just communicate to exchange messages; we communicate to create relationships, form intercultural alliances, shape our self-concepts, and engage with others in dialogue to create communities. In short, we don’t communicate about our realities; communication helps to construct our realities.
this statement pairs well with humans being such pack animals. It is very rare to find a person who is truly a "Lone Wolf". I don't know what else to add to this other then that was the thought that popped into my head. communication absolutely is a shaper or world and reality, of a singular person or a whole wide scale.
A competent communicator shouldn’t assume to know all the cultural contexts a person brings to an encounter, since not all cultural identities are visible. As with the other contexts, it requires skill to adapt to shifting contexts, and the best way to develop these skills is through practice and reflection.
The entirety of communication differences within cultures is very relevant in my life. I am Bi-Racial with my mother from the borrows in New York and my fathers family from farm land Utah. As a child the differences in communication, family intentions and food are polar opposites of each other. My mothers family, big loud, and proud family block parties are a normal thing done as both a celebration and as a family gathering of support and love. Meanwhile, my fathers side of the family gathers in big numbers that is quiet, intimate, usually at my grandmas house which is a smaller setting. It was an interesting difference growing up in that setting but very relevant to the differences in cultural communication and integrating those differences into each other growing up just being myself in either setting.
The interaction model takes physical and psychological context into account. Physical context includes the environmental factors in a communication encounter. The size, layout, temperature, and lighting of a space influence our communication.
I think this claim is really important to point out. Namely, because it is very true. Every little thing influences how what we say is perceived and how we personally perceive those things. I think with this, I can argue that this is why how we say things matter. If you're at a library and you are screaming about the outfit you have on, versus being with your friend doing the same action. One will most definitely be seen in a negative light as the other situation will be perceived more positively.
While environmental noise interferes with the transmission of the message, semantic noise refers to noise that occurs in the encoding and decoding process when participants do not understand a symbol. To use a technical example, FM antennae can’t decode AM radio signals and vice versa. Likewise, most French speakers can’t decode Swedish and vice versa. Semantic noise can also interfere in communication between people speaking the same language because many words have multiple or unfamiliar meanings.
I have experienced this a lot when using English with people from different counties. I remember going to Canada and visiting an ice-cream shop, and needing to get so napkins. When I ask the girl that was working at the shop where they kept the napkins she asked me why I needed napkins since I'm a man. I didn't understand, and I had to explain what I meant being a piece of paper to clean the mess from eating. The girl then let me know that napkin actually meant tampon in the area she was from. Sometimes words can have very different meaning in different regions even if its the same language.
The roles of sender and receiver in the transaction model of communication differ significantly from the other models. Instead of labeling participants as senders and receivers, the people in a communication encounter are referred to as communicators. Unlike the interaction model, which suggests that participants alternate positions as sender and receiver, the transaction model suggests that we are simultaneously senders and receivers. For example, on a first date, as you send verbal messages about your interests and background, your date reacts nonverbally. You don’t wait until you are done sending your verbal message to start receiving and decoding the nonverbal messages of your date. Instead, you are simultaneously sending your verbal message and receiving your date’s nonverbal messages. This is an important addition to the model because it allows us to understand how we are able to adapt our communication—for example, a verbal message—in the middle of sending it based on the communication we are simultaneously receiving from our communication partner.
This paragraph about transactional model of communication is very interesting how we don't just send and receive communication . But we also pay attention to the non-verbal ques when we are in a conversation . We react to how those non-verbal actions help enrich the conversation . Like if i was to ask a family member how the day was and the ask me how mine was the non-verbal signals can give different meaning to how the day went not only with words.
he interaction model of communication describes communication as a process in which participants alternate positions as sender and receiver and generate meaning by sending messages and receiving feedback within physical and psychological contexts (Schramm, 1997). Rather than illustrating communication as a linear, one-way process, the interaction model incorporates feedback, which makes communication a more interactive, two-way process. Feedback includes messages sent in response to other messages. For example, your instructor may respond to a point you raise during class discussion or you may point to the sofa when your roommate asks you where the remote control is. The inclusion of a feedback loop also leads to a more complex understanding of the roles of participants in a communication encounter. Rather than having one sender, one message, and one receiver, this model has two sender-receivers who exchange messages. Each participant alternates roles as sender and receiver in order to keep a communication encounter going. Although this seems like a perceptible and deliberate process, we alternate between the roles of sender and receiver very quickly and often without conscious thought.
This paragraph about interaction model of communication is very interesting how interactions with people can be completely different. I can point to one of my children where the dirty plates needs to go but I would need to explain to another where it needs to go. Also I can have a conversation to my oldest child about a video game we both play and he would understand what I'm trying to explain . How ever my father wouldn't have a clue. It goes to show you how interactions with people about the same thing can be very different.
In fact, intercultural communication has the potential to enrich various aspects of our lives. In order to communicate well within various cultural contexts, it is important to keep an open mind and avoid making assumptions about others’ cultural identities. While you may be able to identify some aspects of the cultural context within a communication encounter, there may also be cultural influences that you can’t see. A competent communicator shouldn’t assume to know all the cultural contexts a person brings to an encounter, since not all cultural identities are visible. As with the other contexts, it requires skill to adapt to shifting contexts, and the best way to develop these skills is through practice and reflection.
This is also one of the challenging parts especially if your culture differs with others. like in my country talking to someone older than you and making eye contact with them is disrespectful but here its different and like this annotation says at the end we just need to adapt skills through practice and reflection. i think this can take a while to do but the more you practice the better you succeed.
there is the actual transaction,
they can pay with cash, or they can use the points from a company's website. or cashback. or if you are a member and you get special points that you can use to pay things.
ur self-concept is also formed through our interactions with others and their reactions to us. The concept of the looking glass self explains that we see ourselves reflected in other people’s reactions to us and then form our self-concept based on how we believe other people see us (Cooley, 1902). This reflective process of building our self-concept is based on what other people have actually said, such as “You’re a good listener,” and other people’s actions, such as coming to you for advice.
Just a side note from personal experience. A bit random. I used to be really thin. Kind of scrawny. When I was 25 I started to exercise every day. After about 3 years of lifting weights, I had really changed. I gained about 60 lbs and needed a whole new wardrobe. I noticed that people started treating me differently and I liked it a lot. But it took about 6 years for the more athletic me to finally show up in my dreams. One night I was dreaming about something (i think I was in a dream fight) and instead of having trouble with what or whomever I was fighting with, I was kicking butt. My new physical self concept had finally shown up in my dream, and it totally rocked. I wonder if that was my subconscious finally thinking of myself differently. I also wonder if it works the same for some people who lose 100 lbs, or had an accident and now can't walk. How long until their new identities show up in their dreams?
Discrepancies between the actual and ideal/ought selves can be motivating in some ways and prompt people to act for self-improvement
When I fall short and don't meet my own expectations and goals. I refocus myself and I do what is necessary to get it done. This has always helped me with my own journey of self-improvements. Nothing is impossible, it is only impossible when we do not try. Growing up I had much difficulty with this as both my parents worked a lot, and the reinforcement was not there. As an adult I've really have had to evaluate how I go about my tasks.
The verbal and nonverbal feedback we get from people affect our feelings of self-efficacy and our self-esteem.
While working at Amazon I notice that the feedback we received from our managers and out PAs had a huge impact on our numbers and output. When were we having bad days of barely meeting our number quota per hour they would come to our stations and have a quick one on one of hey how's it going is there anything we can do for you? Do you need an energy drink? Snack? Even with good numbers and them checking in and extra positive reinforcement would help boost productivity. Nonverbal communications from them also had impact it led us to believe we were packing within our rates thus sometimes producing lower numbers that needed.
How we judge ourselves affects our communication and our behaviors, but not every negative or positive judgment carries the same weight.
I find this very true. I've noticed that when speaking to coworkers that are younger and unsure of themselves, they will studder a bit when talking or they turn red. I know that life experiences on my end are far more than what they have under their belt, so I believe this factors into that. I try to assure them that their ideas are just as important besides I might be able to catch up with the times and learn something new from them.
We generally want to know where we fall in terms of ability and performance as compared to others, but what people do with this information and how it affects self-concept varies.
This comparison really can have a mental impact on self. As a former athlete I never tried to compare myself to others as this would bring me down thinking I couldn't perform as well. When talking to my teammates they would be thinking the same thing trying to compare and only feeling down about not being able to meet the standard they were setting for themselves. I've realized that staying in my own lane and doing best to my own abilities has worked best for me. I really believe mental health is important.
Our self-concept is also formed through our interactions with others and their reactions to us
I reflect a lot of the time when having interactions. I base my behaviors off what I am reading from the other individual and my familiarity with them. Usually, I have no issues with being comfortable therefore being relatable. As far as comparison of superiority and inferiority or similarities and differences. I really try not to stoop to this mindset, for me it does no good and can lead me into preconceived ideas on a personal level. Sometimes I just go with the flow and let it be. Then I am not so self-aware and worrying about things. I can be more relaxed with my interactions and then walk away and think about it. Depends on the situation and environment.
-concept is also influenced by context, meaning we think differently about ourselves depending on the situation we are in. In some situations, personal characteristics, such as our abilities, personality, and other distinguishing features, will best describe who we are.
I feel like myself concept is definitely influenced by where I am at and whom I am around. The questions being asked as well is very influential by what I say. Basically, over all its the same just with different presentations.
Race, gender, sexual orientation, class, ability, nationality, and age all affect the perceptions that we make. The schemata through which we interpret what we perceive are influenced by our cultural identities. As we are socialized into various cultural identities, we internalize beliefs, attitudes, and values shared by others in our cultural group. Schemata held by members of a cultural identity group have similarities, but schemata held by different cultural groups may vary greatly. Unless we are exposed to various cultural groups and learn how others perceive us and the world around them, we will likely have a narrow or naïve view of the world and assume that others see things the way we do. Exposing yourself to and experiencing cultural differences in perspective doesn’t mean that you have to change your schema to match another cultural group’s. Instead, it may offer you a chance to better understand why and how your schemata were constructed the way they were.
This is gold, and i think its one of the most important lessons and attitudes about life. I think I can tell within about 10 minutes of casually chatting with someone if they've been much of a world traveler or not (without overtly asking if a person has travelled). From a lifetime of observation alone, I've found that people who travel extensively for both work and enjoyment tend to be much more openminded and comfortable about other cultures and values. Seeing how people live in relative poverty or in different communities can certainly help a person appreciate where they themselves come from. Travelling can help a person feel more curious and less threatened by new experiences and ideas that are different from the norms back home. Generally I find that people who never left their home states tend to be fearful about the world, unable to understand different religions and value systems, and are very certain that the way things are done 'back home' are the only acceptable way to do things. That's a shame. The world is such a big place, and its much more interesting when you have an open mind and a willing attitude for exploring and experiencing.
The Big Five Personality Traits
In my work environment, all of these are displayed more outrightly. When you work with someone you spend a lot of time with that person, and you come to realize how much of their personality comes into play when you decide to like/dislike them or you trust or don't trust them. Values, and culture really come into play.
This simple us/them split affects subsequent interaction, including impressions and attributions.
Finding common ground for me in this "like us" or "not like us" world is hard to keep at the forefront especially when trying to develop more interpersonal friendships. Stepping back and giving opportunities for people to really present themselves can lead to new experiences and a larger vast of knowledge. Not easy to do at all.
halo effect occurs when initial positive perceptions lead us to view later interactions as positive. The horn effect occurs when initial negative perceptions lead us to view later interactions as negative
This is applicable to me in the work setting. We have instructors that are always keeping us up to date with certifications. Depending on how I interact with them, how they speak, and convey the information usually has this halo and horn effect for me.
The recency effect leads us to put more weight on the most recent impression we have of a person’s communication over earlier impressions. Even a positive first impression can be tarnished by a negative final impression.
Seeing this in the workplace is common for me. I get impressions then realize later on wow not at all what I got from them on the initial interaction. Or I have the moment where I look back and think, I was pretty much right about how they came across.
Studies show that people are generally able to predict how another person will behave toward them based on an initial interaction. People’s accuracy and ability to predict interaction based on first impressions vary, but people with high accuracy are typically socially skilled and popular and have less loneliness, anxiety, and depression; more satisfying relationships; and more senior positions and higher salaries
I see this daily with how individuals come across. Perceptions of them are based on all experiences I have had good and bad regardless of the fact that I just met them. To me sometimes the best impression left is when people are not trying to impress, and they are just having casual no expectant conversations. Primary effect to me has more room for interpretations and more openness. Resetting my thinking on more personal levels not prejudgment like I am used to.
fundamental attribution error, which refers to our tendency to explain others’ behaviors using internal rather than external attributions
It is much easier to blame someone else then ourselves for the situation we get ourselves in. Having to take responsibility for our own errors and not having to really break down the situations just make life easy. Certainly, leads to a ton of negativity and possible misunderstanding of situations. I work with lady who constantly starts off conversations with, "You want know what happened me today because of." I just don't have the time for that kind of conversation especially when it is blame shifting.
Much of the public speaking in ancient Greece took place in courtrooms or in political contexts.
This was sort of interesting to me, just because it shows how important communication is, and has been since all of the way back in ancient greece. It makes me think of how speaking in front of people is a massive part of our lives, even today. in school, or in a job, being able to have solid communication is really important.
Just highlights the historical significance of public speaking, and shows that communication can make an impact no matter what your doing in life.
Ancient Greek philosophers and scholars such as Aristotle theorized about the art of rhetoric,
I find it interesting that such great influences are so stuck on this concept of communication. Which completely makes sense we are a relational species and to thrive we need to communicate with each other. I think if anyone was to study hard on this it would be Aristotle. Though, his argument for rhetoric was that it could be seen as vanity in some cases "mere rhetoric." Is this communication just for show or is there a point to it.
one person is typically responsible for conveying information
Public speaking has always been one of my weak points. I think standing up in front of people to deliver a point is absolutely terrifying. Therefore causing me to not deliver a clear message. However, I think when you think less of yourself and more about the message you want people to get out of it, it can be a great help. I hope to get better at this later on to clearly be able to convey the message I am trying to get across. And it is nice that there is.
Communication studies as a distinct academic discipline with departments at universities and colleges has only existed for a little over one hundred years (Keith, 2008).
This seems like a strange fact to hear. I would have thought that communication would have been one of the first departments to have been developed in universities but this is not the case. Perhaps people didn't keep in perspective hoe significant the ability to communicate is. This could also be a explanation for why people in the past had so many problems because nobody knows how to properly communicate with each other. If people are adequately educated on how to communicate with each other than conflict is less likely the first response to a problem.
While there are rich areas of study in animal communication and interspecies communication, our focus in this book is on human communication. Even though all animals communicate, as human beings we have a special capacity to use symbols to communicate about things outside our immediate temporal and spatial reality (Dance & Larson, 1976). For example, we have the capacity to use abstract symbols, like the word education, to discuss a concept that encapsulates many aspects of teaching and learning. We can also reflect on the past and imagine our future.
I like that this part of the paragraph about the history of communication started so simple . Now we have all these different languages to communicate and tools to communicate . When you can now interact with different people from all over the world and its a very common now days for every one to read and write . When so long ago it was for the more wealthy people and how complex it has gotten now days. In closing I'm amazed how far communication has come and continues to amaze
roup communication is more intentional and formal than interpersonal communication. Unlike interpersonal relationships, which are voluntary, individuals in a group are often assigned to their position within a group. Additionally, group communication is often task focused, meaning that members of the group work together for an explicit purpose or goal that affects each member
group communication is one of the things that frustrates me as a student. but I'm finding it helpful now because we share different perspectives, and you can also learn from the people in your group. sharing ideas and thought helps they might be someone in the group that can add up on what your thought are.
Therefore the study of group communication is valuable in many contexts
I also don't like group communication especially when I'm not contributing a lot its feels so frustrating, but I have realized that it's so helpful when you engage, share your ideas and thought, you also get encouraged with the people in your group who can also add up ideas or suggestion to the one you had.
Organizations have been moving toward more team-based work models, and whether we like it or not, groups are an integral part of people’s lives. Therefore the study of group communication is valuable in many contexts.
There's a lady in Boise who teaches this group communication skill called 'yes, and'. The crux of the skill really shines when people share ideas during a group event. It's been noted that many people in group setting don't share what could be great ideas because they are often met with people who say 'but, or that wont work, or the problem with that is...' and this kind of reaction both negatively reinforces the sharing of the idea and can make the person sharing become defensive in short order. Using words like 'yes, and' encourages people to share ideas by staying away from responses that are critical or negative.<br /> For example, if someone says that wearing comfy shoes to work helps to make it through a long day, and another person in the group responds by saying 'Yes, and its possible to have shoes that are both comfy and professional', that response encourages the original thought sharer to express other ideas because they were recognized, supported, and other ideas were combined to help make the original idea grow. In contrast, if a person shares that 'Comfy shoes might make the long day more bearable', and another person in the group responds "Comfy shoes aren't professional', the original sharer is likely not to offer ideas in the future for fear of criticism and lack of support. 'Yes, and' has become a really useful tool for me in the group discussion setting for encouraging sharing without negative criticism shutting down ideas.
As with the other forms of communication, competent intrapersonal communication helps facilitate social interaction and can enhance our well-being.
So true. If I need to prepare for a presentation, performance or conversation I really benefit from spending time talking myself through the event first. By practicing replies, thinking about the words I'd like to use or being intentional about the key ideas that I'd like to be sure are clear, i feel really prepared for being fluid and confident with my communication efforts. I think its a good idea even practice taking pauses to ask questions and listen to responses to get a feel of the conversation flow you'd like to have.
Since this form of communication deals so directly with our personal relationships and is the most common form of communication, instances of miscommunication and communication conflict most frequently occur here (Dance & Larson, 1976).
Not totally sure about this statement. Since this would be the most familiar and intimate of all the communication groups, I'd argue that this could/should be the type of communication where miscommunication and misunderstandings would be the most infrequent. A person who knows you should be able to interpret your meaning due to being familiar with you. Maybe conflict is more frequent due to this kind of communication allowing for a level of emotion being expressed that the other types don't allow for.
Group communication is more intentional and formal than interpersonal communication. Unlike interpersonal relationships, which are voluntary, individuals in a group are often assigned to their position within a group. Additionally, group communication is often task focused, meaning that members of the group work together for an explicit purpose or goal that affects each member of the group.
The military has its own form of group communication. During morning physical training (PT) your leadership will yell out the expectations for each exercise and the enlisted personnel will answer back with an enthusiastic reply or a cadence count of a sort. The purpose is to keep uniformity during a mass event, motivate and encourage all participants, and end each training with directions for expectations for the rest of the working day. All directions are acknowledged and affirmed which closes the communication loop.
Even though all animals communicate, as human beings we have a special capacity to use symbols to communicate about things outside our immediate temporal and spatial reality (Dance & Larson, 1976). For example, we have the capacity to use abstract symbols, like the word education, to discuss a concept that encapsulates many aspects of teaching and learning. We can also reflect on the past and imagine our future. The ability to think outside our immediate reality is what allows us to create elaborate belief systems, art, philosophy, and academic theories. It’s true that you can teach a gorilla to sign words like food and baby, but its ability to use symbols doesn’t extend to the same level of abstraction as ours.
I think this points out the main factor that separates humans from animals. It's our ability to develop highly sophisticated communication methods that has allowed us to collaborated, learn from one another, develop advanced computations systems and so much more. Communication also is what gives humans the ability to express complex thoughts and emotions that animals do not possess the ability to fully express. Though I think its wise to consider the logical and emotional intelligence of animals even though they do not use verbal and written communication in the way humans do, they sill express valued forms of communication and can even learn forms of communication from humans. It would be interesting if somebody could build a translation device that could translate animal thoughts into words, but I don't think technology is quite there yet.
Public communication, at least in Western societies, is also more sender focused than interpersonal or group communication. It is precisely this formality and focus on the sender that makes many new and experienced public speakers anxious at the thought of facing an audience.
A piano recital or a performance of a philharmonic orchestra might be a sort of public communication. It has a source of info (the music) eliciting emotions and thoughts being interpreted by the audience. I'll bet a play at the Shakespeare festival would be another form of public communication. My dogs are really fond of public communication near certain bushes and rocks while we go on our daily walks.
Intrapersonal communication is communication with oneself using internal vocalization or reflective thinking. Like other forms of communication, intrapersonal communication is triggered by some internal or external stimulus. We may, for example, communicate with our self about what we want to eat due to the internal stimulus of hunger, or we may react intrapersonally to an event we witness. Unlike other forms of communication, intrapersonal communication takes place only inside our heads. The other forms of communication must be perceived by someone else to count as communication. So what is the point of intrapersonal communication if no one else even sees it?
I read about a guy (https://www.boredpanda.com/not-everyone-having-internal-monologue/) that did an informal study about people not having an inner monologue. I was a bit shocked. I thought everyone had that voice that they argued with inside their head, sometimes quietly, sometimes aloud while working or driving. It's probably a bit lonely without having that pesky voice blabbing in the background all day.
“Things aren’t always as they appear” is useful when evaluating your own perceptions. Sometimes it’s a good idea to bounce your thoughts off someone, especially if the perceptions relate to some high-stakes situation
I really like this saying considering there is much in this world that is presented to us in a way that is inciting. Being open to ideas and self-awareness and double checking ourselves with our friends can help re affirm things we might have already known. I do this quite often and bounce ideas off my bestie or someone in my family that has more life experiences than I do. I've come to realize in age that I might not always see the entire picture.
Empathetic listening can also help us expand our self- and social awareness by learning from other people’s experiences and taking on different perspectives. Empathetic listening is challenging because it requires cognitive and emotional investment that goes beyond the learning of a skill set.
Actively listening again is something I struggle with. My focus and attention span are about 10 seconds of conversation and if by then it hasn't clicked it is hard to stay engaged. This is something I've had to really stive to work. Listening to the end and being able to accept the differences of opinions.
People can also get into a negative thought and action cycle by setting unrealistic goals and consistently not meeting them. Similar to a self-fulfilling prophecy, people who set unrealistic goals can end up with negative feelings of self-efficacy, which as we learned earlier, can negatively affect self-esteem and self-concept.
Surrounding myself with people who have the nontoxic attitudes had opened up doors to better interpersonal friendships. It has built up the sense of self concept and helps me be realistic about my life and goals. Keeps me grounded as one would say. I've really seen the impact of a toxic individual and I look back and wonder how anyone can tolerate that type of attitude.
chronically insecure, meaning they are very concerned about being accepted by others but constantly feel that other people will dislike them
Insecurities lead to many different self-awareness issues and thus spill over into different areas of having to work on. Chronic insecurity leads to much second guessing and self-doubt which leads to hesitation and then round and round we go on the merry go round. Hard to realize many people go thru this mindset and have a hard time moving forward with positive steps of self concept.
Self-fulfilling prophecies are thought and action patterns in which a person’s false belief triggers a behavior that makes the initial false belief actually or seemingly come true
Preconceived ideas of people certainly attribute to self-fulfilling prophecies. I couldn't agree more with Kampi Hulme. Having open concepts can lead to better understanding of others and opportunities not yet taken.
These powerful forces serve positive functions but can also set into motion negative patterns of self-perception. Two
Seems like family and friends only have limited impact on self-perceptions especially when you're older. Social media is right there in your face dictating what you should be or how it should look. The data is collected and, then generated to incite you more. Outside influences from people, you don't even know creep into your life and you're just doing the latest trend or tick tock or following someone on Instagram. This generation of behind the phone and always stuck on it is crazy. I can go to a cafe and look around and no one is ever talking and interacting with who they are with. If I see a couple without phones in their hands it is usually an older couple. Sad how much of an impact social media has on society now.
Remember, people try to increase predictability and decrease uncertainty within personal relationship
Uncertainty can cause me to second guess myself and step back. Of course, we all want the predictability of a personal relationship as it makes the path easier. My best friend always finds the good in people always exuberates positivity and she doesn't swear. It has been quite different having her impact my life for the better. She definitely was not my normal kind of person I relate to or open up to. But being open and not relying on the predictability has made me a better communicator with others.
better listening and empathetic skills, becoming aware of stereotypes and prejudice, developing self-awareness through self-reflection, and engaging in perception checking.
Listening and empathy is something I have really had to work on over the past few years. Actually, being engaged and actively listening to what is being said so that I make the better decisions instead of jumping the gun. This is where I really have to put forth the effort and not let my mind wander like it normally does.
Physics has many applications in the biological sciences. On the microscopic level, it helps describe the properties of cell walls and cell membranes. On the macroscopic level, it can explain the heat, work, and power associated with the human body. Physics is involved in medical diagnostics, such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasonic blood flow measurements. Medical therapy sometimes directly involves physics: cancer radiotherapy uses ionizing radiation, for instance. Physics can also explain sensory phenomena, such as how musical instruments make sound, how the eye detects color, and how lasers can transmit information.

Pangaea, which existed from about 350 to 200 Ma, was not the first supercontinent. In 1966, Tuzo Wilson proposed that there has been a continuous series of cycles of continental rifting and collision; that is, break-up of supercontinents, drifting, collision, and formation of other supercontinents. Pangaea was preceded by Pannotia (600 to 540 Ma), by Rodinia (1,100 to 750 Ma), and by other supercontinents before that.
It's interesting that Pangaea is often talked about as "the first configuration of continents" but the truth is that Pangaea is actually relatively new compared to even older configurations of the continents.
4. Magnetic reversals: In section 4.2 we saw that rocks could retain magnetic information that they acquired when they were formed. However, Earth’s magnetic field is not stable over geological time. For reasons that are not completely understood, the magnetic field decays periodically and then becomes re-established. When it does re-establish, it may be oriented the way it was before the decay, or it may be oriented with the reversed polarity. During periods of reversed polarity, a compass would point south instead of north. Over the past 250 Ma, there have a few hundred magnetic field reversals, and their timing has been anything but regular. The shortest ones that geologists have been able to define lasted only a few thousand years, and the longest one was more than 30 million years, during the Cretaceous (Figure 4.5.64.5.6\PageIndex{6}). The present “normal” event has persisted for about 780,000 years.
Why do the amount of years between each magnetic field reversals fluctuate so much? What are the factors that determine when this happens?

It is very interesting how his theory was originally not accepted by scientists even though it was the only logical theory for why the distribution of fossils looked the way that it did.
But, since many people recognized African American enslaved people as human beings, they had to be framed as fundamentally different in other ways to justify enslavement. The notion that Black people are “naturally” more sexual and that Black women were therefore “unrapable” (Hill Collins 2004) served this purpose. Black men were framed as hypersexual “Bucks” uninterested in monogamy and family, a false idea which justified splitting up enslaved families and using Black men to impregnate Black women.

What this demonstrates, I think, is how impressionable and vulnerable we are in the face of a story, particularly as children.
Her vulnerability towards the only books she could see is what resulted in her at first writing about what she read and believing it was the only thing she could write.
All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out.
Based off her telling of reading primarily British and American books, her characters were inspired by the characters in those books.

The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.

size of the halogen increase, the reactivity of the ring decreases.
Pi orbital overlap decreases, so it's harder for the larger halogens to give electrons via the pi system. So inductive effects dominate more and more as the halogen size increases.

So just think of halogens as the exception because they don't participate in resonance, and it's therefore harder to see the positive charges at ortho and para (i.e., not what you see in the diagrams).

The recalling stage of the listening process is a place where many people experience difficulties. What techniques do you use or could you use to improve your recall of certain information such as people’s names, key concepts from your classes, or instructions or directions given verbally? Getting integrated: Identify how critical listening might be useful for you in each of the following contexts: academic, professional, personal, and civic. Listening scholars have noted that empathetic listening is the most difficult type of listening. Do you agree? Why or why not? Which style of listening best describes you and why? Which style do you have the most difficulty with or like the least and why?

Empathetic listening is the most challenging form of listening and occurs when we try to understand or experience what a speaker is thinking or feeling. Empathetic listening is distinct from sympathetic listening. While the word empathy means to “feel into” or “feel with” another person, sympathy means to “feel for” someone.
I tend to also stay silent when something happens and I ignore my friends which is very horrible.

In a way, this is a bad thing: we shouldn’t be so quick to jump to conclusions, and we should examine the evidence! However, psychologists have also found that people need their emotions to think clearly. Antonio Damasio and others discovered that people who have lost their ability to feel emotion—based on a brain tumor or injury to the brain—also lose their ability to make rational decisions, and so end up making messes of their lives, losing their jobs and wrecking their marriages. Evidence has been piling up that feelings and reason are linked. We may do bad thinking when we allow emotions to cloud our thinking, but we also need emotions to think clearly. Think again about your emotional reaction to the photo, and then ask: are my feelings making me irrational, or are they helping me find the truth?
So it sounds like emotions are both a blessing and a curse. Emotions is what makes us but it can also breaks us and even those around us. I think we can train how we think and learn how to manage and control our emotions for good.
Look at this picture, and notice your first reaction. Do you have an emotional reaction, good or bad? What is your opinion right off the bat? Going with your gut, what do you think? Notice I am asking you about two things: (1) your emotional reaction and (2) your first thought.
I would say I didn't had a good or bad emotional reaction it was just more neutral. I just noticed right away that she is protesting about something and facing towards a building. There seems to be another person in front of her holding a white sign. I'm just curious what they are protesting about and how large the crowd truly is. I think this photo was taken merely for show.

Speech is a mirror of the soul,” commented Publilius Syrus, a popular writer in 42 BCE
I understand that my soul is sometimes indicated by my words. My words change according to feelings in my soul. I want to make sure that my speech is not negative and hurtful. How can I soul search when I am angry?

Because the exponent for the reactant is 1, the reaction is first order in (CH3)3CBr. It is zeroth order in water because the exponent for [H2O] is 0. (Recall that anything raised to the zeroth power equals 1.) Thus, the overall reaction order is 1 + 0 = 1. The reaction orders state in practical terms that doubling the concentration of (CH3)3CBr doubles the reaction rate of the hydrolysis reaction, halving the concentration of (CH3)3CBr halves the reaction rate, and so on. Conversely, increasing or decreasing the concentration of water has no effect on the reaction rate. (Again, when working with rate laws, there is no simple correlation between the stoichiometry of the reaction and the rate law. The values of k, m, and n in the rate law must be determined experimentally.) Experimental data show that k has the value 5.15 × 10−4 s−1 at 25°C. The rate constant has units of reciprocal seconds (s−1) because the reaction rate is defined in units of concentration per unit time (M/s). The units of a rate constant depend on the rate law for a particular reaction.
I don't understand how the exponent for H20 is 0 and the exponent for (CH3)3CBr isn't also 0. How do you determine the m and n with out knowing the molarities?
