While John wanted to watch the new action film, Sarah was hoping for a romantic comedy. After briefly discussing their preferences, they had difficulty coming to an agreement.

In the end, the action movie won out, but all parties were satisfied with the fair resolution to their minor dispute.

Like word choice, the language of a passage has control over tone.
Consider language to be the entire body of words used in a text, not simply isolated bits of
diction.
For example, an invitation to a wedding might use formal language, while a biology text would use
scientific and clinic.

The document suggests students will analyze examples from their own speech that reflect these background factors and influences on their unique personal way of speaking.
Language and Self A level Cambridge presentation
This document discusses theories of how language and personal identity interact and develop. It explores how a sense of self emerges from early childhood as physical, linguistic, social and cognitive skills develop. Language plays a vital role in shaping self-identity and how people interact. Theories discussed include behaviorism, which sees identity and language arising from observation and imitation, and innatism/nativism, which posit humans are born with abilities and ideas that enable language acquisition. The development of language and self is influenced by social and family relationships throughout life.

Reflection on Cultural Competencies Sample Essay.docx
This document is a reflection essay by a nurse on their cultural competencies. It summarizes the results of a cultural competency checklist the nurse took, in which they mostly agreed but were neutral on some statements. It reflects on their initial view that they were culturally competent but realized through the checklist that they could improve their sensitivity to non-English speakers and different dialects. The nurse identifies three areas to improve: acceptance of other languages, participation in insensitive comments, and recognition of English dialects. Suggestions are made to improve transcultural healthcare like letting go of stereotypes, using language services earlier, and remembering that cultural expectations may not apply to individuals.
Purpose, Audience, Form and Tone
The document provides guidance on how to identify the purpose, form, and audience of a text. It discusses looking at word-level features like vocabulary, sentence-level features like tense and structure, and text-level features like layout and presentational devices to determine purpose. Form can be identified by text-level features and certain word-level features. Audience is identified through word choice and complexity, sentence structures, and presentational features designed for a particular reader group. The document also discusses how to identify a text's register and the difference between denotation and connotation of words.

Your Skill Boost Masterclass: Strategies for Effective Upskilling
Your Skill Boost Masterclass: Strategies for Effective UpskillingExcellence Foundation for South Sudan
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 2. ! Media bias is the prejudice “of journalists and news producers within the mass media in the selection of events and stories that are reported and how they are covered.” ! Media bias can sometimes reflect the agenda of a news agency. ! Our ability to sense bias in the media relies on our command of the English language. ! Understanding how language can sway our opinions is an important component of reading and listening comprehension and critical thinking.
- 3. ! Sometimes different news outlets cover stories using a positive or negative tone that can persuade the audience. ! The choice of words usually dictates the tone of the story.
- 4. Persuasive language ! Persuasive language is used when a writer intends to convince the audience of a position or argument. ! Example: ! “George Washington had wooden teeth. ! The verb “had” implies that the writer is certain of Washington’s wooden teeth. ! Neutral language is that which expresses the writer’s bias or position minimally, if at all. ! Example: ! “It is rumored that George Washington had wooden teeth.” ! The writer of this phrase claims only to know that it has been said that Washington had wooden teeth. Neutral language
- 5. ! Euphemism – an expression or word that makes something sound more favorable. ! Dysphemism – an expression or word that makes something sound less favorable. ! Omission – Withholding certain details of a story from the audience. ! Selection – Emphasizing a detail or details in a story more than necessary. ! Sensationalism – Using shocking language in a news story in order to excite the audience.
- 6. ! In groups of 3 to 4, answer the following questions in response to the headline: ! Which words in the headline set the tone? ! Is this an example of euphemism or dysphemism? ! Rewrite the headline using an objective tone.
- 8. 1. What words from the video caught your attention? 2. What images in the video caught your attention 3. How does this contribute to your feelings about the video and the world? “Whoever controls the media, the images, controls the culture.” -‐ Alan Ginsberg
- 9. ! As the audio clip plays, take note of the following: ! What is the tone of this broadcast? ! How does the commentator use sensationalism to set the tone? ! What dysphemisms does he use to engage the audience?
- 10. ! Objective -‐ not influenced by personal feelings or opinions ! Objective journalism is practiced when a journalist reports from a neutral perspective. It occurs when the facts, and only the facts, are reported for what they are. ! This includes: ! Avoiding generalizations ! Avoiding superlatives ! Including all details of a story ! Providing evidence for claims
- 11. Write a headline and short news story (5 to 7 sentences), in third-‐person, about a time that you disagreed with someone. Remember to report the story from an objective point of view using neutral language as if you were an outsider looking in.
