The document is a student's daily log and reflection from a communication experiment where they gave up text messaging for 3 days. Some key points:
- The student found that phone calls led to deeper conversations with family/friends and allowed them to hear emotions. Calls uncovered new information and situations.
- FaceTiming their sister who they hadn't seen in months allowed them to see expressions and relate in a different way than just texting.
- While calls were inconvenient at first, the student found they sometimes preferred them to texting as calls fostered synchronous conversations.
- The experiment revealed to the student how forms of communication shape relationships and experiences differently. They believe over-reliance on texting can isolate

Questions and Answer for each topic.
Topic 1
Men and women communicate on a daily basis but it is not always effective. Remember the 1995 book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus? The author argues men and women have different needs, goals, values, and communication styles.
Do you agree with this statement or not and why?
Topic 2
Electronic media is changing our lives and technology is to blame. We no longer talk face to face; we text and text and text. What has changed over the last decade that makes us feel like we need to have instant connections? When you send a text to someone and they do not reply, is that offensive?
Topic 3
Proofreading is a critical part of the written communication process yet it is often the most overlooked step. What tips do you have for someone that is new to the business environment when it comes to ensuring they produce quality documents.

#1
I both agree and disagree with the authors argument: Men and women have different needs,goals,values and communication styles. While there are obvious differences between the genders, such as testosterone balances- I feel that this statement looks over the big picture, we are all different as individuals, not necessarily as generalized groups (pink and blue). Before I get into my firm opinion on this topic, I would like to address that while this may not be true to the date, back in the day I believe that this would be more of an accurate statement. Men were born into families to earn the money and women were born and married into families to take care of the home and family- so back then, yes, I would agree that they had different goals, values and communication styles. However, these days there is far more equity in gender roles than the old timers could have ever imagined, now there are stay at home dads and traveling business moms, a new norm. There are plenty of men who share the same charisma as women, and vice versa. I would like to respectfully point out gender changes, as I feel it is appropriate for this topic: a great example of a man or woman whom shared the same goals,values,needs,etc. to the point of conversion. We are all different and with that being said, being comfortable in our own skin, which requires meeting our own needs, has nothing to do with our gender... in my opinion.

I am conflicted about this topic. I do believe that in general, men and women communicate differently and have different communication styles. I do not believe this is black and white though. I tend to think that men and women have way more commonalities in communication styles than they have differences. I find that many women are really into "gossip" and or just being very chatty in general, whereas men tend to be more reserved and quiet. Of course this doesn't pertain to every man and woman. For example, most of the women in my family will talk to each other on the phone almost once a ...
#1 Have you ever observed people using baby talk when communicatin.docxboadverna
#1 Have you ever observed people using "baby talk" when communicating with an infant? How do people in your cultural environment interact with a pre-verbal child? Which way of interacting with a pre-verbal child seems better to you, the one displayed by Katie's mother or the one used by Bage's mother (both described in Ahearn, chapter 3)? Make sure to address all parts of the topic in your post.
sample answers
1) I grew up with many younger siblings and as with most Middle Eastern families, so did my friends, so I have been around babies my entire life. I have noticed that men and women interact and talk with babies differently. For example, women tend to make their voice squeakier or more high pitched than it normally is. I did notice that this happens more frequently in However, I have noticed that men often do not do this and simply continue talking to babies in their normal voice. Of course, not everyone is like this and different people have their individual ways of interacting with children.
I think it is important for people to interact with babies, even if they do not understand. Katie’s mother is a better way of interacting with children than Bage’s mother. The more babies are exposed to language, the more likely they are to recognize and understand words as they grow. I think it is also important for children to be exposed to different dialects, accents, tones in the voice, and facial expressions. Children who are exposed to different tones, such as anger with specific words or joy with specific words. This also helps children to understand the emotional state in which certain words are used to expressed those emotions. Facial expressions are also important because they help children distinguish different emotions and help them practice expressions to help them communicate when they are older.
2)
I'd have to say in my experience, while most people I've seen interacting with babies will use a higher pitch than normal, most don't make baby noises, which is what I've always thought of as "baby talk." Children will often babble, coo, mimic, or make up silly sounds, but the adults mostly will use full English, just with a cutesy voice. I don't think there is a "better" and certainly not a "best" way of interacting with a pre-verbal child, although I am partial to the style of Katie's mother.
My mom used to run a daycare out of our home, and there was one boy that had severe speech impediments all because his mother never let him speak for himself, and when he did speak, she would just accept whatever he said, rather than teaching him. That seems like the example of Bage's mother taken to an unhealthy extreme, but it's the closest I've come to personally witnessing that style. I'd have to say that style doesn't work at that point, but my example is after the child was verbal, while the example from the book said that once the child is verbal, the mother pushes him to interact with others. From my experience in other courses, I'd ...
We all use various means of communication, whether they be verbal.docxjessiehampson
We all use various means of communication, whether they be verbal or non-verbal. For the most part, I think that we as individuals apply certain filters when speaking to certain people. For example, when I’m interviewing for a new job, I may not speak the same way I would with my best friend of many years. I’d like to think I’m the same person in every aspect of my life, with everyone in my life, but the truth is, while my beliefs and values don’t change according to who I’m with, perhaps my way of expressing them, does. Growing up and finding myself has been an on-going process, and the way I want to be perceived seems to be more aligned with who I truly am as the years go by. I realized after some time, that the way these two align has less to do with how I communicate with others, but more to do with how I communicate with myself.
Intrapersonal communication is the process of using messages to create meaning within the self. It is the communication that occurs within your own mind (Pearson, Nelson, Titsworth, & Hosek, 2017). I have deemed this communication the most important for me because of the immense effect it has had on my communication with others. The instances that stand out to me the most, are of course, the deeply personal ones. The way I communicate with myself has always strongly affected my communication skills with family members, close friends, and lovers. There was a time when I would create an entire scenario in my head and let that scenario dictate an entire exchange of words. I would assume what the other person was thinking, doing, and feeling. By doing this, I realized I communicated in a way that was very defensive and insecure. I projected my own fears and notions onto other people.
This way of communicating left no room for listening, and even less room for understanding. Most importantly, the way I was communicating with myself was having a negative effect on my self-esteem, and the dialogue I shared with myself while looking into the mirror was never a pretty one. The truth is, I only realized there was another way of doing things when I changed the way I spoke to myself. I started to nurture the relationship with myself, the dialogue between my own two ears. I had no idea that I had to take this step before I would begin to improve the way I communicated with the people closest to me. I began giving myself positive affirmations. I steered clear from assumptions about what other people were thinking and feeling. I began to focus on what I was thinking and feeling.
As a result of careful communication with myself, of kind and loving dialogue in my head, my relationships began to flourish. Because I was no longer coming from a place of defensiveness, I was more open to what others had to say. I was more familiar with my own truth, and it left plenty of room to openly listen to the truth of others. There is proof in my life that intrapersonal communication has become a powerful resource for me, but o ...

Melissa ThorpeSPCH1318 I had a friend. We are no lo.docxARIV4
Melissa Thorpe
SPCH1318
I had a friend. We are no longer friends. We are no longer friends due to communication errors on both sides. Good communication is of vital importance to a relationship. Without proper communication, any kind of relationship whether it be of a platonic or romantic nature will be difficult to sustain. The interpretation of verbal and nonverbal communication is how we perceive our relationships. Based on those interpretations we react accordingly. Ineffectiveness at any level can and usually does breakdown the communication process.
Without having a strong and sound foundation of good communication skills, strategies, and conflict management styles, problems can creep into a relationship and threaten to destroy it. Unfortunately, this happens all too often. Breakdown can be attributed to a lack of knowledge on how to be an effective communicator to the repetition of an error. Identifying the source of a communication problem can sometimes be difficult, but through careful analysis and self-reflection, it is possible to improve one’s communication competence.
This assignment has made me reflect on what aspect of my communication I believe needs improving. I like to think that I am a decent communicator; family and coworkers have complimented me on being so. I must admit I found this task more difficult than I thought. It is much easier to point out someone else’s flaws than look for your own sometimes. I believe the aspect of communication I need to improve is monitoring and assessing the jump from the exploration stage of relational escalation to the intensification stage more effectively.
Relational escalation according to Beebee, Beebee, and Redmond is “Movement of a relationship toward intimacy through five stages: preinteraction awareness, acquaintance, exploration, intensification, and intimacy” (292). In the exploration stage, “You begin to share more in-depth information about yourselves…….and limit the time you spend together” (292). In the intensification stage, “You will start to depend on each other for self-confirmation and engage in more risky self-disclosure. You will spend more time together” (292). Even though relational escalation is not a direct form of communication, the monitoring or lack of it can come across as communication. If relational escalation goes without monitoring and proper evaluation, the result can be disastrous. This has happened to me.
I sometimes have a habit of getting carried away with the excitement of a new friendship. I became friends with a woman about two years ago, several weeks after my husband deployed to Iraq. Her husband had left around the same time as well. This was the first deployment that either of us had experienced at Fort Hood. We started doing things together because our children were of similar ages. It was the beginning of summer vacation and neither of us had planned any trips so we both ...

I have deemed this communication the most important for me because of the immense effect it has had on my communication with others. The instances that stand out to me the most, are of course, the deeply personal ones. The way I communicate with myself has always strongly affected my communication skills with family members, close friends, and lovers. There was a time when I would create an entire scenario in my head and let that scenario dictate an entire exchange of words. I would assume what the other person was thinking, doing, and feeling. By doing this, I realized I communicated in a way that was very defensive and insecure. I projected my own fears and notions onto other people.
This way of communicating left no room for listening, and even less room for understanding. Most importantly, the way I was communicating with myself was having a negative effect on my self-esteem, and the dialogue I shared with myself while looking into the mirror was never a pretty one. The truth is, I only realized there was another way of doing things when I changed the way I spoke to myself. I started to nurture the relationship with myself, the dialogue between my own two ears. I had no idea that I had to take this step before I would begin to improve the way I communicated with the people closest to me. I began giving myself positive affirmations. I steered clear from assumptions about what other people were thinking and feeling. I began to focus on what I was thinking and feeling.
As a result of careful communication with myself, of kind and loving dialogue in my head, my relationships began to flourish. Because I was no longer coming from a place of defensiveness, I was more open to what others had to say. I was more familiar with my own truth, and it left plenty of room to openly listen to the truth of others. There is proof in my life that intrapersonal communication has become a powerful resource for me, but o ...

I had a friend. We are no longer friends. We are no longer friends due to communication errors on both sides. Good communication is of vital importance to a relationship. Without proper communication, any kind of relationship whether it be of a platonic or romantic nature will be difficult to sustain. The interpretation of verbal and nonverbal communication is how we perceive our relationships. Based on those interpretations we react accordingly. Ineffectiveness at any level can and usually does breakdown the communication process.
Without having a strong and sound foundation of good communication skills, strategies, and conflict management styles, problems can creep into a relationship and threaten to destroy it. Unfortunately, this happens all too often. Breakdown can be attributed to a lack of knowledge on how to be an effective communicator to the repetition of an error. Identifying the source of a communication problem can sometimes be difficult, but through careful analysis and self-reflection, it is possible to improve one’s communication competence.
This assignment has made me reflect on what aspect of my communication I believe needs improving. I like to think that I am a decent communicator; family and coworkers have complimented me on being so. I must admit I found this task more difficult than I thought. It is much easier to point out someone else’s flaws than look for your own sometimes. I believe the aspect of communication I need to improve is monitoring and assessing the jump from the exploration stage of relational escalation to the intensification stage more effectively.
Relational escalation according to Beebee, Beebee, and Redmond is “Movement of a relationship toward intimacy through five stages: preinteraction awareness, acquaintance, exploration, intensification, and intimacy” (292). In the exploration stage, “You begin to share more in-depth information about yourselves…….and limit the time you spend together” (292). In the intensification stage, “You will start to depend on each other for self-confirmation and engage in more risky self-disclosure. You will spend more time together” (292). Even though relational escalation is not a direct form of communication, the monitoring or lack of it can come across as communication. If relational escalation goes without monitoring and proper evaluation, the result can be disastrous. This has happened to me.
I sometimes have a habit of getting carried away with the excitement of a new friendship. I became friends with a woman about two years ago, several weeks after my husband deployed to Iraq. Her husband had left around the same time as well. This was the first deployment that either of us had experienced at Fort Hood. We started doing things together because our children were of similar ages. It was the beginning of summer vacation and neither of us had planned any trips so we both ...

Rhetorical Prospectus
Answer the questions below as fully as you can about your chosen topic
for the “Adding to a Conversation” essay. Be as reflective and detailed as
possible. Remember you are trying, in a sense, to convince me as your
potential “editor” both that your topic is worthy of your and others’ time,
and that you’ve sufficiently researched what others have said to be
prepared to contribute to the conversation.
1. Why am I invested in this topic? Why do I care? How does it matter to
me?
2. Summarize the nature of the conversation about your topic in 2-3
paragraphs. Be sure to include the variety of positions people hold
about your topic—i.e. don’t reduce it to a pro/con or argument or
either/or topic—the groups which hold these different positions, and
the reasons these different groups might take the positions they do.
3. What is your purpose in “adding to this conversation”? What do you
want to communicate with your paper? (e.g., inform, persuade, argue,
shoot down another position, propose a solution, etc.)
4. Who do you want to address your paper to? Why this group given your
purpose and your reading of the conversation?
5. What do you think this audience needs to know or consider that they
don’t already know?
6. What kind of reaction do you want to get from your readers? What do
you hope they’ll do as a result of reading? (e.g. take a specific action,
change their opinions, get angry, etc.)
7. What kinds of written sources will you need to help you accomplish
your purpose?
8. What kinds of written sources will be most convincing or needed by
your audience? Why?
9. What other kinds of information can you draw off of in this paper
(personal experience, surveys, etc.)?
10. If you could imagine publishing this paper in a public venue, where
would you like it to appear?
11. What questions do you have about writing this paper? What do you
think will be most difficult about what you plan to do?
Connected, but alone?
Sherry Turkle, March 2012
Just a moment ago, my daughter Rebecca texted me for good luck. Her text said, "Mom, you will rock." I love this. Getting that text was like getting a hug. And so there you have it. I embody the central paradox. I'm a woman who loves getting texts who's going to tell you that too many of them can be a problem.
Actually that reminder of my daughter brings me to the beginning of my story. 1996, when I gave my first TEDTalk, Rebecca was five years old and she was sitting right there in the front row. I had just written a book that celebrated our life on the internet and I was about to be on the cover of Wired magazine. In those heady days, we were experimenting with chat rooms and online virtual communities. We were exploring different aspects of ourselves. And then we unplugged. I was excited. And, as a psychologist, what excited me most was the idea that we would use what we learned in the virtual world about ourselves, about our iden ...

Part 1: Daily Log of Observation
On October 24, 2014 (Day 1 of giving up text messaging), I had no classes but
spent the day visiting my tutor and going to draft conferences to write an essay.
Later that day we (the Syracuse University Cross Country Team) traveled to Cornell
to race for the last time as Redshirt Freshmen. Later that night we decided we were
going to celebrate, but I insisted first on finishing my homework. I told my friends TJ
and Mickey that I would give them a call when I had completed it. After nearly three
hours, I called Mickey who didn’t answer and I was sent straight to voicemail. I then
called TJ to find no response as well. I then figured I’d take the elevator to their
room where I found a small party taking place. I concluded that calling my friends
who lived only 4 floors above me was somewhat inconvenient. I thought after that
maybe a simple text would have suited the situation better.
On Saturday, October 25, 2014 (Day 2 of giving up text messaging) I slept in
because our coaches had given us the day off. I woke up to find a couple text
messages that had been questions from my mom. I concluded that calling her to
answer her questions would be the perfect way to continue the experiment. As we
talked, I realized how much information we were giving and receiving
simultaneously, not only did I answer her questions, but I also got the chance to
update her on my college life and my running career. Living 8 hours away from
home is hard enough. It’s difficult when I’m busy because I rarely get to talk to the
ones I love most. Calling, or this verbal communication that took place allowed
emotions to be conveyed as well as wisdom filled-words. I actually got to hear her
voice, instead of read her thoughts. As I sat down to do my homework on Saturday, I
received a message from my father about the amount of money I had on my credit
card and thought, “Yet again another chance to experiment without texting.” Our
phone call not only solved the money situation, but it also allowed us to brainstorm
ideas about future careers and how I can put myself in a situation to succeed.
Texting in these two circumstances instead of a phone call would have ultimately
resulted in a conversation that would have been monotonous.
On Sunday, October 26, 2014 (Day 3 of giving up text messaging) my friend
and I were attempting to decide on where to eat after our run. After receiving a
message from TJ asking if I wanted to eat at Ernie, I decided to call him. Although a
simple answer through text messaging seemed like it would have been more
suitable for the situation, our phone call broadened the topic of eating all together.
Instead of going to Ernie, we decided to go to the mall, and instead of it just being
the two of us; we were able to eat with four other people. The verbal form of
communication in this situation with TJ facilitated a whole new type of thinking. It
also sparked the interest in eating with more people. As a result of this interest,
more calls were made asking if different individuals wanted to join us for our meal. I
continued my no-texting experiment later that day. Instead of calling however, I
decided to Face-Time my twin sister, who I hadn’t seen in 3 months. This form of
communication differed greatly from both calling and texting.

Instead of just looking at my sisters thoughts on a phone screen as seen through
messaging, or hearing her voice through a mike as conveyed through phone call, I
actually got to see the expressions on her face while I listened to what she had to
say.
Part 11: Reflection
The communication medium that I decided to give up for my communication
experiment was the medium of text messaging. Instead of replying to people in a
conversation over text or answering questions that had been sent to me from
members of my family, I decided that I would substitute a reply text by making a
telephone call. In one instance, I even used the relatively new medium of “Face-
Time”. The medium of text messaging carries a particular type of dimension that is
often times termed asynchronous, but many argue that this medium is
synchronous depending on the type of situation (DiDomenico, 2014). According to
Summer in the book, The Breakup 2.0 (Ilana Gershon, 2010), “text messages are
always answered. They require both attention and response.” Summer is exclaiming
that text messaging in a way is synchronous process. An asynchronous event argues
that when one is presented with a message, the receiver can read it at any given
time. Further the receiver can then decide when to respond (it could be within
minutes or even days).
A synchronous event however is defined by its continual flow of information.
The conversation goes back and forth at a high rate. The medium of a telephone call,
as well as a Face-Time conversation would almost always be called a synchronous
event. I decided that I would only use the medium of a phone call, and further a
Face-time conversation, to challenge the fact that I often times take advantage of
conveniences associated with text messaging. Initially, I predicted that calling
people would be a waste of time when I needed to answer simple questions. I also
thought that these verbal mediums would put myself in situations with greater
awkwardness.
Many of my daily observations were recorded after making phone calls to
members of my family as well as many of my friends. I observed instances when a
phone call was more convenient that a text message and vice versa. I found that
many people found It strange that I had called them to answer small questions that
they had originally texted me. Many of my phone calls, however, resulted in
conversations of greater depth that ultimately created situations that would never
have existed without the synchronous flow of quick information. I found myself
learning new ways to interpret the way people conveyed words or ideas, further I
dived into the methods of Second-Order Information (The Breakup 2.0, Ilana
Gershon, 2010).
At first, communication via calling was hard, only because I felt lazy. On
ordinary occasions, I never call people unless I need an instant reply. As I continued
to make phone calls, the process became easier. At one point, I almost preferred the
medium of a phone call. On the second day, I found the process to be the easiest.

This might have been the result of having two great conversations with both my
mom and my dad, whereas, these conversations might not have existed in the first
place if I would have conversed through text messaging.
This experiment created a type of communication that many people my age
rarely refer to. Communicating to others through the phone enhanced the
conversation. It allowed me to hear emotions and connect with these emotions by
alternating my tone of voice. I found that matching another’s tone made the
conversation flow with ease. Conversing with my sister through FaceTime was a
delight in the sense that I haven’t seen her in almost three months. Although I saw
her through a screen, I was able to see her emotion and relate. My social presence
that was conveyed in that particular situation allowed her to view me as an existing
entity in a different locale (DiDomenico, 2014). I learned further that
communicating verbally brings about information that is not prevalent through text
messaging. Verbal communication in a sense is almost like analyzing a book, rather
than reading its cover (brought about through non-verbal communication, or text
messaging.
Throughout this communication experiment, I have come to find that the
ways to which we communicate when we are separated from others have been
revolutionized. To think that two decades ago we were only able to make phone
calls is astounding. The ways to which we communicate depend on how formal or
informal a particular situation is. (The Breakup 2.0, Gershon, 2010) For example,
if we needed to get in touch with our professor about an assignment, we would
write a formal email. In contrast, if we needed ask one of our parent’s permission to
purchase something, we might send a simple text message. Monitoring the way I
have communicated with others in the past three days has allowed me to see
instances when one form of communication is easier than the other.
I feel as if the medium of text messaging has almost isolated individuals from
one another. It has allowed for awkwardness to be prevalent through verbal
communication between individuals we are not familiar with. As a result,
incoherence has been built around the definition of a relationship. Two individuals
can’t possibly be “talking” if they have made it a routine to only text? Or can they? It
seems that as a result of this isolation of verbal communication, we are growing
more distant in our relationships. How well do we know someone we’ve only
messaged? The strange side of the topic states that information prevalent on social
media reveals that we basically know everything about a person. In summary, the
ways in which we communicate are always changing. One method may reveal
something different about a person than another method. We as individuals are
responsible for the way we shape our experiences with others.
