Blog Summary

Page 35, chapter 3-2f and 3-2g consists of subjects regarding the economic status and generational co-cultures. Socioeconomic status is the position of a person based on their income, education, or occupation. Consisting of the low, middle, and high class. Afterward the chapter goes on to speak on habits or co-cultures that different economic status families had! For example, low-class families emphasize obedience and acceptance of others, while high-class families perform fewer engagement cues and tend to disengage more! The two subcategories both socioeconomic status and age/generation has a lot of emphasis on co-cultures! Age/generation starts off by mentioning some generational co-cultures. People who grew up during the great depressions tend to be more frugal than other generations. Millennials, which are people who grew up during the ’90s have never known life without a computer, or how baby boomers (people who grew up during the ’60s) question authority! Later, the chapter brings up the possibility of challenges between different generations due to co-cultural orientation! A prime example of this is if a person who aged earlier than the ’60s were to interact with a millennial, there might be a misunderstanding in the form and how respect is shown! Chapter 3 also brings up topics referring to people and culture like Race, Ethnicity, Religion, and even Sex and Gender. The chapter puts a lot of emphasis on culture and communication between people of all sexes and cultures! Potential Barriers between people consist of anxiety, stereotyping, incompatible communication codes, and incompatible norms and values! By acquiring accurate information about other cultures' values and practices and adopting an appropriate attitude it is possible to prevail the cultural barriers! Chapter 9 is about the nature and types of groups. Like social groups, support groups, interest groups, and service groups. These groups are what make up American society and culture. The way chapter 9 was presented was clear and well-founded. They were able to elaborate on every single type of people's group and go in-depth onto each topic. For the most part chapter, 9 was presented well with near to zero mistakes and overall A grade performance! Discussing conflicts in groups due to mal communication. The performance when chapter 10 was introduced was excellent! Information was presented smoothly and correctly! Elaborating on different leadership roles and problem-solving! Going in-depth speaking on procedural roles and shared leadership responsibilities, which is the core principle of this chapter. Overall groups 1, 2, and 3 did an outstanding job elaborating and summarizing chapters 3, 9, and 10. Having been able to learn from peers rather than just the teacher was great practice and a great way to getting through chapters efficiently!

Tara's Reflection on the Chapter Presentations

Image
     The first presentation in a class is always the most difficult one. That’s why it is important for you to do your research and practice your speech. Practicing your speech helps you to memorize the material you’ve researched. This is perfect for a person like me, who is writing a blog about the material I learned for my class presentation. I and my partners were in charge of informing the rest of our class on Chapter 3 of a book called “Comm6: Speech Communication.” The material is fresh in my head as if I just learned it. Now, I will share some of this information. I will also share what I thought of the other groups’ presentations. A GIF by Shalita Grant showing her point at the screen. GIF reads "You Got This."      I was the first of my group to present and I covered the introduction to the topic “Intercultural Communication.” It starts off with the term “Culture”, which is basically a way of life. In the book, I learned that when people of two different cultures try

Alex's Reflection on People's Moralities

While within this country, our history with diverse populations is not what you'd really call a catastrophe but really a tragedy. And while that's the case, decades pass by and we improve as a society to truly understand and communicate effectively . We obediently live under the same roof which led to serenity and peace among most of the population. It's become easier to embrace ourselves as one when we feel accepted by everyone else when everybody is different in there own way, it's become a normality. the system of shared beliefs that guides what is considered appropriate, the conditioning between similar life experiences is a way of life. As well as the interactions that between people whose cultures are significantly in comparison that any form of communicating is considered challenging. We must first identify the differences between the two cultures that would make it more challenging like how they managed to create their own comfortable language related to their c

Communication at its finest Jailene Estrada

     Communication has always been apart of life since the beginning time and day it progresses and we learn more about it and others. In the chapters 3,9, and 10 that help with that matter. All over the world there are different customs and forms of communication. For example, words and gestures used in America are different compared to The united Kingdom. Take fish and chips, chips are french fries but they call it chips.              In order to understand one another and their culture in the textbook pages, chapter three gave different ways on how to do so. Always do research, focus how others around communicate, and involve yourself more. And not only their cultures but gender, sexual orientation and religion as well. A big thing to avoid is having a stereotype towards others. They are hurtful and very disrespectful.         There is a downside to communication as well that others will not feel as appreciative or vise versa some people are inconsiderate of others and it is possibl
