 Blog Post 1  Lorenzo Rodriguez  Summary: Over the past couple of days we've been presenting about Chapters: 3,9, and 10. These chapters cover topics such as Internal Communication, which consists of Culture and Communication and includes information on dominant cultures and how they differ and Identities within those cultures. Chapter 3, we talk all things culture so basically race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, age, and disabilities. To be specific in this chapter they evaluate how cultures differ and how they could ultimately work together or conflict with each other.   However, in Chapter 9 we go into more extroverted topics such as: Communicating in groups and their natures and different types of groups. Also the characteristics of healthy groups and the stages of group development and their conflicts. So, by the nature of groups, we look specifically at families, social groups, support groups, interest groups, servi...

Blog Post 1 Nathan Chang Group 1, Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication Group 1 showed impressive presentation skills. All members were vocal and confident when speaking about each individual subject. They used more pictures and visuals than words for their slides and it made the presentation more interesting overall. In 3.1 it talks about culture and how communication is integrated and used in each culture. The way one communicates is also influenced by their culture. I found 3.3 particularly interesting because it explained how monochronic cultures view time as a series of small units that occur sequentially and polychronic cultures, these cultures include (North America and Northern Europe) w hile Polychronic cultures view time as a continuous flow. (such as Latin America, Middle East and Native American) I found the video presentation to be unique and nicely done. It was an improvisation for the member not being able to attend class that day and I liked how he added his webcam...

  Human interaction depends heavily on communication. We can share our experiences and ideas, communicate our thoughts and feelings, and forge relationships with people through communication. Both emotionally and professionally, effective communication is crucial, and it's a talent that can be developed through time.   Effective communication requires listening as well as speaking. It's crucial to listen intently and actively, to demonstrate empathy and understanding, and to clear any misunderstandings by posing questions. Additionally, it is crucial that we communicate in a clear and succinct manner, adapting our vocabulary and tone to the context and target audience. We had the opportunity to collaborate with new people and split the workload of presenting while working in groups, but we also had to coordinate schedules and ideas with others, which may be difficult at times. However, if done properly, group presentations may be enjoyable for all parties involved. For instanc...

Communication is a vital aspect of human interaction. Through communication, we can express our thoughts and feelings, share our experiences and ideas, and build relationships with others. Effective communication is essential both personally and professionally, and it is a skill that can be learned and improved over time. Good communication involves not only speaking but also listening. It is important to listen actively and attentively to what others are saying, show empathy and understanding, and ask questions to clarify misunderstandings. It is also essential to be clear and concise in our own communication, using language and tone that are appropriate for the situation and audience. While working in groups, we got to work with new people and share the load of presenting, we also had to coordinate schedules and ideas with others, which can be challenging at times. However, with the right approach, group presentations can be a rewarding experience for everyone involved. For insta...

 

  Noryan Nieto Diaz 9/20/23 All presentations were good, I enjoyed all the students teaching chapters 3, 9 and 10 in their own way. Group 1 talked about chapter 3, Intercultural Communication. I liked how they explain the different cultures and ways it can impact communicating with one another and how they gave real life examples. Being from different countries and knowing different languages can be a challenge in many ways. I say it from personal experience. When I stayed living in Miami I had to adapt to a new culture, language, education, and many other things. It was very difficult for me to communicate with other classmates. It was frustrating to hear people conversing and not understand what they were talking about or trying to tell me. With a lot of practice and hard work, I learned how to read, write, and talk in English. For kids it is way easier to learn a new language or understand a new culture than an adult. Some people struggle more with those situations. Imagine ...
