Situation:
Tim Smith the IT manager comes to you and says "My project coordinators are in a slump; they just are not producing their usual caliber of work. I need to find out what the problem is. No one on the project team knows what is going on. The communcation my project coordinators are giving is coming across as rude, which in turn keeps moral low and the teams are not doing the work. I was hoping you would be able to put together an Effective Communication training for them to help get everyone back on the right track." There are 10 project coordinators in the IT department. Two of the project coordinator's are in the organization's Bangkok office. Tim wants the training to last no longer than 4 hours and wants it to be face to face in a class room with you, the trainer. He does not want to fly the Bangkok assoicates in and would like you to set up a Skype session with them during your training. He also wants you to set up weekly coaching sessions with each project manager and himself for a month after the training is completed.

Effective Communcation:
Introduction
People in organizations typically spend over 75% of their time in an interpersonal situation; thus it is no surprise to find that at the root of a large number of organizational problems is poor communications. Effective communication is an essential component of organizational success whether it is at the interpersonal, inter-group, intra-group, organizational, or external levels.
In this chapter we will cover the basic process of communication and then we will cover some of the most difficult communication issues managers’ face-providing constructive and effective feedback and performance appraisal.
The Communication Process
Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex proces.

Discussion Doing vs. Saying Nonverbal CommunicationWhat yowiddowsonerica
Discussion: Doing vs. Saying: Nonverbal Communication
What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist, lecturer, poet
Just about everything a person does or wears expresses meaning to others. This nonverbal communication depends on context determined by culture, history, or familial norms and practices. In over 75 studies, researchers have shown that humans have seven universal facial expressions of emotion: joy, surprise, contempt, sadness, fear, anger, and disgust (Matsumoto & Hwang, 2011). Other than these expressions of emotions, human nonverbal behavior varies from culture to culture. Although dictionaries exist to assist with verbal meanings, nonverbal meanings are not easily formalized and can present serious communication quandaries in intercultural situations.
In order to competently communicate in intercultural situations, you need to study and acquire knowledge of the nonverbal codes. In this week, you consider how nonverbal behaviors communicate meaning and how this affects intercultural communication practice.
To prepare for your Discussion:
Review Chapters 7 and 8 in the course text. What verbal and nonverbal behaviors described in these chapters do you recognize in your own communication? How might your verbal and nonverbal behaviors influence your communication with another culture that uses different verbal and nonverbal behaviors?
Think of examples of challenges and benefits that verbal and nonverbal behaviors from different cultures bring to society. How would society change if everyone used the same verbal and nonverbal behaviors? What would be the benefits of a society that used the same verbal and nonverbal behaviors?
Note:
One of the goals of this course is to promote a wide variety of views. You are encouraged to present your honest personal viewpoint while at all times reflecting a respectful tone for the views of others.
Do
a 2- paragraph explanation of how one major cultural, nonverbal behavior can affect communication with someone outside that culture by doing the following:
Identify a major nonverbal behavior in your culture.
Consider how someone outside of the culture might react to this nonverbal behavior.
Consider how these behaviors can affect communication with people of other cultures.

FIN 402 Week 3 Case Problems
Case Problem 6.1 Sara Decides to Take the Plunge
1. LG 1
2. LG 6
Sara Thomas is a child psychologist who has built a thriving practice in her hometown of Boise, Idaho. Over the past several years she has been able to accumulate a substantial sum of money. She has worked long and hard to be successful, but she never imagined anything like this. Even so, success has not spoiled Sara. Still single, she keeps to her old circle of friends. One of her closest friends is Terry Jenkins, who happens to be a stockbroker and who acts as Sara’s financial advisor.
Not long ago Sara attended a seminar on investing in the stock market, and since then she’s been doing some reading about the market. She has concluded that keeping all of her money in low-yielding savings accounts doesn’t make sense. As a result, Sara has decided to move part of her money to stocks. One evening, Sara told Terry about her decision and explained that she had found several stocks that she thought looked “sort of interesting.” She described them as follows:
· North Atlantic Swim Suit Company. This highly speculative stock pays no dividends. Although the earnings of NASS have been a bit erratic, Sara feels that its growth prospects have never been brighter—“what with more people than ever going to the beaches the way they are these days,” she says.
· Town and Country Computer. This is a long-established computer firm that pays a modest dividend yield (of about 1.50%). It is considered a quality growth stock. From one of the stock reports she read, Sara understands that T&C offers excellent long-term growth and capital gains potential.
· Southeastern Public Utility Company. This income stock pays a dividend yield of around 5%. Although it’s a solid company, it has limited growth prospects because of its location.
· International Gold Mines, Inc. This stock has performed quite well in the past, especially when inflation has become a problem. Sara feels that if it can do so well in inflationary times, it will do even better in a strong economy. Unfortunately, the stock has experienced wide price swings in the past. It pays almost no dividends.
Questions
a. What do you think of the idea of Sara keeping “substantial sums” of money in savings accounts? Would common stocks make better investments for her than savings accounts? Explain.
Answer: It is not a smart idea for Sara to retain substantial sums of money in her savings account for the reason that she could potentially make more money by investing in stocks. For example, the average rate for a savings account is 0.06%, and if you invest in stock, you can make anywhere from 0-15% depending on the amount of risk you is willing to take.
b. What is your opinion of the four stocks Sara has described? Do you think they are suitable for her investment needs? Explain.
Answer: Three out of the four stocks are ok investments to make since there is so little information provided. I do not think the NASS is a good i.

Fieldwork Research: Primary Sources
This assignment assumes 4 steps:
Attend a live music making opportunity, a concert, or watch an entire music concert on YouTube. It can be of any music genre (see instructions below).
Interview an insider of that culture
Write a
Fieldwork Concert Report
Transcribe and arrange the
interview
(in the same paper)
this the concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxjgqVsYu0g&feature=youtu.be ( kpop music is korean music )
first you have to make about concert report/ participant observation :
Students will attend minimum one live or online music performance. The preferred ethnographic writing is that of a participant observation – meaning, you take part in the music making next to the performers, so that you can live their experiences. Sometimes this is not possible, and you will have to experience music making from the fan’s perspective, or just that of the spectator’s perspective – in the case of Western classical concerts, or if you are viewing a concert on YouTube. Your goal is to capture the performance, event, and situation, and meaning of the event to the people involved (insider’s point of view). In order to do this, please describe as accurately as possible:
• The physical setting (stage, concert hall, audience) – you can draw a plan of the hall and/or take pictures, if allowed
• The behavior of individuals and groups of people – both the artists on the stage, as well as the audience
• Conversation and interactions between people • Sequence of events (before the concert, during the concert, after the concert)
• Demographic survey (count or approximate how many people are there; offer information about their gender, age, professional background, education level – if possible). In trying to assume the audience’s socio-economic status, you can look at their fashion style, cars, etc.
• Rationale of the event: for WHOM is the event held, WHERE was it held, WHEN did it happen, and WHY did it happen
• People’s emotions, meanings, and beliefs (if possible)
the second part is to make interview with 2 persons individually ( create 2 persons from your imagination introduce them and ask them these questions):
Upon gaining access in a live performance event or an online music-genre specific chatroom, students will follow the steps below to conduct one interview with a participant in the specific culture/performance:
1- what is your reaction of songs?
2- do you like it? and why do you like it?
3- why do people like these songs or concert?
4- Identify the most expert participant member that you can have access to interview (“key informant”): for some concerts, it would be hard or almost impossible to interview the performer. In such case, interview an audience member/participant/fan that has most knowledge of the culture/genre performed or strong ties to the particular music tradition.
5. Inform them of the purpose of your research, and gain acceptance for interviewing. If the su.

Feminist & Empowerment TheoriesFeminist theory can be applie.docxnealwaters20034
Feminist & Empowerment Theories
Feminist theory can be applied with Peter and Fernando to promote self-determination and problem-solving skills for their current and future challenges. Feminist theory states that patriarchal culture is concerned with power and oppression over minority populations (Adams et al., 2013). Specific feminist techniques include: an analysis of oppression and power, exploring client self-esteem and interdependence, and empowering clients (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014). Patriarchy is damaging to males in society (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2014) and teaches ‘manhood’ where the dominant heterosexual culture views homosexual men and women as ‘others’ (Adams et al., 2013). This can be seen with Fernando’s father who has disapproval of his son’s sexual identity. In addition, Peter has taken on the responsibility of head of household while Fernando has taken on the role of stay-at-home caretaker to Jose. Feminist theory brings together personal and political thinking to increase the client’s power (Turner, 2017).
When applying feminist theory within a relationship there is an emphasis on the concept of mutuality wherein there is a sense of respect, interest, empathy, and responsiveness experienced by both parties (Turner & Maschi, 2015). This fosters resilience through a two-way relational dynamic (Turner & Maschi, 2015). The use of this approach within the case of Peter and Fernando would help to foster resilience in the family dynamic through this emphasis on mutuality. By fostering empathy, respect, and responsiveness within the relationship dynamic will help Peter and Fernando improve communication through empathy and respect for each other’s perspective.
Empowerment is a concept that is strongly supported by evidence in social work practice (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory and feminist theory both provide social workers with the expertise to validate client experiences, support client strengths, and promote collectivism through mutual aid and support (Turner, 2017). Three dimensions of empowerment theory include: (1) a development of a more positive identity and sense of self, (2) build knowledge and critical thinking to connect personal and political realities, and (3) build resources and strategies to achieve personal and collective goals (Turner, 2017). Empowerment theory assumes that the client(s) are the expert on the issue at hand and have within them the strengths to overcome the given problem (Turner & Maschi, 2015). It is then the job of the social worker to connect the client to resources within their community and assist them in utilizing those resources in keeping with their identified strengths (Turner & Maschi, 2015).

Felicia makes fabulous fried foods that she sells to family and .docxnealwaters20034
Felicia makes fabulous fried foods that she sells to family and friends. Felicia’s friend, Fergus, is interested in selling her fried foods using the name “Felicia’s Fabulous Food Company.” Felicia is flattered but does not have enough time to fry any more foods; so Felicia charges Fergus $125,000 to allow Fergus to use her recipes and market the food using her name. On March 10, 2001, Fergus and Felicia enter into a written agreement that provides:
1. Felicia will market and advertise the fried foods.
2. All food is to be prepared with no deviation from Felicia’s recipes.
3. Fergus will manage sales and accounts receivables.
4. Felicia and Fergus will each pay 50 percent of the expenses of the business, such as electricity, water, telephone, heat, insurance and advertising.
5. Felicia will keep two-thirds of the gross receipts and Fergus one-third.
Ten years later, Fergus and Felicia had a number of disagreements and Fergus decides to leave the business. At the time, the business’s net worth was $857,000. Felicia argues that she owns the business and that Fergus, if not an employee, was no more than a franchisee. Fergus argues that he is Felicia’s partner. Were Felicia and Fergus partners? Explain and discuss the factors that lead to your conclusion.

Federalism: Comparing Government Response in Hurricane Katrina vs. Coronavirus
You will be watching two 50 minute documentaries: The Strom and Coronavirus Pandemic in order to complete this essay.
Topic Overview
: Considered together, Hurricane Katrina and Covid-19 both produced policy disasters in the United States that were both unnecessary and linked to federalism. These challenges produced by nature raise the question of whether certain disasters are beyond the capacities of state and local government.
Objective
: While watching these films, the central theme to take away from these videos is a better and more comprehensive understanding of Federalism, through real life evidence and explanation. Critically analyze each of the elements and consequences of each different national disaster, based on different level of government’s responses, actions. Leadership, communication processes, and decision-making. Despite, both Hurricane Katrina and Corona Virus being deemed as “national emergencies”, the power organization resulted in vastly different responses by each level of government’s leadership (across all levels: federal, state and local).
Introduction to Federalism:
State and Local governments are the first line responders to crisis. The institutions encompass not only the national government and the American states, each with their own distinctive histories, but extend down to the local level of counties, cities, smaller communities, and special-purpose entities such as school districts. Support and opposition for Federalism rests on government leadership, power, decision-making, and response to national disasters. Response is a geographic and constitutional matter of design. The principles underlying federalism create a power system where multiple levels of government (local, state, and federal) coexist in an organization of power that is both exclusive and shared, depending on the event at hand. Though the federal government has a vital role to play in advancing national priorities through the powers enumerated to it by the U.S. Constitution, our founders recognized long ago that many of the challenges our citizens face can best be addressed at the state level. The Constitution set forth means for strengthening national government’s power, intended to establish a more perfect union (Preamble). Federalism would be the new organization of power, between local, state and federal U.S. government, in order to the remedy weaknesses caused by the Articles of Confederation.
Principles of Federalism
Limited government
States’ rights (10th amendment)
Goals of Federalism:
Foster cooperation
Prevent Federal Intrusion into State
Protect State’s utility as “laboratories” of democracy
Central Themes to Focus on and Think About
comparisons and discussion of struggles between local,
state and federal levels of government according to how federalism has manifested into a power tug-of-war in authority

Feedback for 4 Milestone Two: Research and Support
Please address Milestone two’s feedback and include these changes when working on your Milestone 3 assignment.
1)Proposal Care Support
The data you cite in this section supports that there is a nursing shortage. However, I would have liked to see you add more insight into what research shows on the impact this shortage has on patient safety and quality care. What does the research say about the nursing shortage and its connection with quality care, thus leading you to believe a change was necessary?
2) Value-Based Support
While you discussed financial impacts of your proposal, you did not touch on value based reimbursement. How does short staffing effect patient care and then ultimately reimbursement rates received by your institution?Top of Form
Bottom of Form
3) Data Evidence
You listed an example of a quality indicator that MAY be effected by the nrusing shortage. However, you need to include data that the nursing shortage itself is an issue. How many nurses is your facility short? What is the nurse to patient ratio? How many openings are there? etc.
4) Strategies
While you gave great examples of strategies that could be used to help improve the nursing shortage, are there any interprofessional strategies currently in use that would also be helpful?
5) Strategy Defense
So what nursing indicators will be affected with the implementation of your proposal? See http://ojin.nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/ANAMarketplace/ANAPeriodicals/OJIN/TableofContents/Volume122007/No3Sept07/NursingQualityIndicators.html for a list of the Nursing Sensitive Indicators Additionally, while you wrote your own professional insight, I would have liked to see you utilize research to add support to these views and ideas.

Nursing Shortage and the Need for More Nurses
Research and Support
Proposal Care Support
Nurses are a very critical part of a health care facility. Nursing shortage is not just a problem experienced in the United States but globally. The shortage is as a result of high turnover, unavailability of potential educators and unfair distribution of the workforce. Healthcare organizations are therefore competing to acquire the scarce nurses in order to improve their delivery of quality care. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1.1 million additional nurses are required to address the shortage problem (Haddad, 2019). For an organization to effectively compete for the scarce nurses, acquire top talent and reduce employee turnover, it must offer an enticing compensation and benefits package. Organizations that offer great wages and benefits easily attract applicant and maintain the nurses they already have. My proposal to offer a better compensation and benefits package would therefore lead to an i.
Federal Budget SpeechDo you want to know who you are Don.docxnealwaters20034
Federal Budget Speech
"
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you
." - Thomas Jefferson
The federal budget spends close to four trillion dollars a year and is split between mandatory spending (what the federal government has to spend due to congressional legislation) and discretionary spending (what the federal government spends as a result of congressional allotment). Roughly speaking, mandatory spending accounts for two-thirds of the federal budget and discretionary spending accounts for one-third of the federal budget.
Every year the executive and legislative branches debate budgetary priorities for the federal bureaucracies such as the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education, and others. Many of these debates occur within congressional committee meetings as members of Congress, federal employees, outside interests, and individual citizens articulate funding requests.
For the Unit 9 Assignment you will compose a speech advocating why your chosen department, administration, or agency within the federal bureaucracy should receive additional funding.
Because the “world is a stage,” let us establish the setting, plot, and the ensuing action for your speech.
Setting:
Exterior: Washington D.C. State Capitol Building.
Interior: Room 221B. Congressional Hearing Room.
Plot:
Imagine that you are in a cavernous room. You sit before a large table facing twenty one senators from the Budget Committee. Photographers, more than you can imagine, squeeze between the space that separates you from the members of Congress. Behind you in the gallery, public policy wonks and regular citizens sit, awaiting your presentation.
You are a featured speaker from a citizen group that advocates a particular public policy funding concern for your federal department, administration, or agency. Prior to the meeting you have already read the president’s proposed federal budget for the upcoming year from the
Office of Management and Budget
and you have some budgetary concerns. You read in alarm how the upcoming federal budget request from the White House reduces funding for your federal department, administration, or agency. But, as you know, it is up to Congress to fund the executive bureaucracy. The executive branch requests funding and the legislative branch allocates funding. This is your chance to request more funding for your federal department, administration, or agency of choice.
Action:
Equally eager and nervous you stand in front of a lectern. “Now,” you think, “now I am ready…” You click on the microphone, examine your prepared speech about your funding request, and you begin to speak with eloquence and passion!
Directions
: Compose a 400 word transcript of your public policy speech.
Select a specific example of public policy from one of the following fields:
Economic policy – for example, U.S. budget deficit spending.

General strategies for peer response attribution to an unknown author
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Peer Feedback
Research in writing studies show evidence that undergraduate student writers are not familiar
with providing adequate peer feedback, and instead rely upon mildly pleasant comments as a
way to not offend a fellow student. At the same time, getting feedback is a crucial step in
writing. Feedback provides insight from a detached reader, who may provide overall direction
for the works-in-progress. Learning how to give feedback requires practice, patience, good
reading skills, and sensitivity toward relations. But, students need training with how to give
good peer feedback.
How to give not-so-great feedback:
Here’s a sample paragraph from a friend who has asked for some feedback on the scope of the
paragraph. He’s concerned that the summary paragraph does not provide enough detail to
conclude a section of the paper.

Academic Referencing
A good place to start is with academic sources, also called scholarly sources. These sources can include books, academic journal articles, and published expert reports. Whatever the exact form, academic sources all have in common the fact that they are peer-reviewed. Peer reviewed sources are written by an expert in the field and have passed review by other experts who judged the source for quality and accuracy. If a source is peer-reviewed, you know it is a good choice for high-quality, accurate information about your topic.
Not all sources show whether they are scholarly relevant or peer-reviewed, but there are some clues you should check.
· Look at the author's credentials. They should have an advanced degree and/or an affiliation with a scholarly organization like a university or a science foundation.
· Look as well for a list of references or a bibliography. Most high-quality research is based on other research, so a good source will have a list of works the author studied as he or she was writing it. Check this list to make sure.
· Finally, you can tell a lot about a source by looking at the publisher who publishes it. Scholarly sources should be published by a professional association like the American Medical Association; by a university, for example the Oxford Unive.

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:
Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why?
Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.
What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, web servers, and email servers?
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Leveraging the Power of Diverse Communication Styles
Understanding the impact of communication style differences
and effects…
Think about specific situations in which a miscommunication
occurred that you believe was based
on a communication style disconnect of some kind.
Defining Communication Style
Communication style is the way in which we communicate, a
pattern of verbal and nonverbal
behaviors that comprises our preferred ways of giving and
receiving information in a specific
situation. If the message content is the what and the
communicators the who, then communication
style is the how. Communication style includes, for example,
how we accomplish the following
tasks:
1. Organize and present information and like it to be organized
2. Encourage and like to be encouraged
3. Agree or disagree with others’ ideas and prefer agreement or
lack thereof to be
communicated
4. may consider “natural” are typically learned. People all over the
world smile and use eye contact,
but they do so in different ways and for different purposes.
Answers to the following questions, all
about communication style, vary by culture as well as by
individual and specific context:
communicating? One person
might look someone directly in the eye to show respect, while
another averts eye
contact. One person might speak loudly and clearly as a sign of
respect, another
softly.
y
do so by stating her
past experiences and citing her credentials, while another might
humbly explain that
her lengthy experience has given her more questions than
answers.
People who value
explicit communication may expect a direct answer to a
question. People who value
implicit communication might find a direct answer to be
5. condescending or
patronizing.
disagree? One person
may desire to analyze a disagreement giving a specific
comment-by-comment replay
and paying special attention to the actual words used, while
another may prefer to
discuss the feelings experienced because of the disagreement,
and a third might
prefer to overlook the disagreement or to bring it up only after
much time has passed
and careful consideration has been given.
Communication style—how we express ourselves—reflects our
underlying values and beliefs, and
those values and beliefs are determined both by culture and
personality. People use and interpret
communication styles differently according to these personal
and cultural filters. How we
communicate (the communication style we use) and how we see
others communicating (the
meaning we attach to their communication style) depend on
many factors. Do we expect interaction
6. to be easy, difficult, enjoyable, or frustrating? Do we believe
relationships should be well planned,
emergent, explicit, or implicit? Do we think it is smarter to
focus first on task or on relationship? A
full definition of communication style needs to include these six
key points:
1. Communication style is a situational tendency, not a type.
2. The style we use is influenced by many factors.
3. As with culture, everything’s relative with communication
style.
4. Neutral descriptions are needed, yet those descriptions have
their own weaknesses
and liabilities.
5. Communication style provides a link between the observable
and the
unconscious—between our behavior and its underlying
motivation.
6. There are advantages and disadvantages to every style.

work, community, out in the "world"...) that reflect messages of
how your culture(s) view time. Paste those photos onto your
journals document and then write a reflection on the concept of
time and how you see time functioning in your cultural
context(s).

COM 309: Intercultural Communication
INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION SYNTHESIS
QUESTIONS
NAME(S) (include names of any class members you worked
with on this):
The purposes of these questions are to assist you in synthesizing
your knowledge of intercultural communication, to provide an
opportunity for you to express your opinions on these concepts
and ideas, to move forward in thinking about intercultural
communication competence, and to prompt thinking about the
"bigger" issues related to intercultural communication in our
diverse world… Much of the learning and insight from these Qs
(and from our semester together) can come from taking a little
time to reflect and synthesize ideas either with fellow
classmates (encouraged!) or on your own. You can choose to
respond to the Qs on your own or with up to 2 other class
members (groups of 2 or 3).
13. *** One paragraph only for each number***

activity, discussion, topic,
reading, etc. stands out to you and provides the most insights
for you in understanding intercultural communication and
intercultural competence? (if working with classmates, write
about 1 activity/discussion topic/reading for every group
member). Explainwhy you made the choices you did and what
impact those particular activities/topics/readings had on you (at
