The Art of ListeningHave you ever heard anyone described a.docxmattinsonjanel
The Art of Listening
Have you ever heard anyone described as being a good listener? If so, what did you interpret that to mean? Most of us can hear noises, sounds, words, sentences, and exclamations, but do we hear, really hear, the meaning behind those words, sounds, and noises? There is a difference between hearing and listening. Hearing is one of the five senses (sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing). It is the actual, physical process by which your ear picks up sounds. Listening is the act of comprehending what you have heard. Active listening is defined as hearing, comprehending, analyzing, and preparing to respond.
Listening also happens when we read. The difference between reading and comprehending is the same difference that exists between hearing and listening. You will find the ideas and suggestions discussed in this lesson are applicable to both listening to the spoken word and comprehending the written word.
Listening is the other half of the communication duo. Technically, the communication process is not complete unless the words are heard or read. Many people use the word “communication” to refer to writing or speaking, but that is only half of the process. Have you ever sent an e-mail to someone only to find that a few hours later when you accessed your e-mail it was returned to you with a message that stated it was undeliverable? Have you communicated with anyone? Although you may have sent a wonderfully written message, if it was not received you have not successfully communicated with anyone. Another example of incomplete communication would be having a person delivering a speech to a room without an audience. In either situation, you are sending or delivering a message, but no one is receiving or hearing it, and no communication has happened.
Listening actively is the receiving part of the communication process. Now here is the amazing part, the active listener after receiving the message becomes the sender. How can that be? In person, the listener becomes the sender by responding to the message without having to ask that person to repeat the message. The response could be anything from a written message, to a few spoken words, to a nod of the head. Listening skillfully not only guarantees that you understand the message, it also shows respect for the speaker. Having respect and understanding for the message is showing respect for the person speaking; these are the traits so often linked to being successful in our professional and personal relationships.
Listening Skills
Listening is a powerful skill, and it is a skill that you can learn. Active listening starts with conscious effort to refocus your mind and body. To listen actively you must focus all your attention on the listening process. Have you ever talked to someone on the phone who was watching TV? Sometimes you know that person is not listening to you because they often ask you to repeat what you said, or they might give you answers that do not correlate to ...

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
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.

Managing communication problems
1. 1
Managing communications
problems
Listening :
It is a process of receiving , interpreting and reacting to a
message received from the speaker.
Difference between listening and hearing:
1. In listening , we have to listen carefully and also need
focus but in hearing, we need not to hear it carefully
2. Listening is a fast output process while hearing is a
slow process because we listen to something actively
but we don't hear itself. It is a naturally occurring
process.
Techniques of effective listening :
If the teacher is delivering the lecture to the students than
what are the measures a student could apply to listen
effectively these are as following:
1. While listening, the student should avoid talking and
listen to the teacher quietly.
2. While listening , the student has to listen carefully to
the teacher and stop thinking.
2. 2
3. While listening, the student has to be open
minded,that helps him to understand what the
teacher is saying.
4. While listening , student must has an eye contact
with the teacher because the teachers eyes are also
communicating. The student would easily understand
the teacher's point of view and what he is explaining.
5. During the lecture , the student must not need to
interrupt .
6. At the end of the lecture you can ask the question
and provide the feedback.
Two Way Communication :
The process of transfering of message from sender to
receiver in an understandable manner.
Steps Of Two Way Communication :
1. Develop an idea _ It depends on you which message
you want to transmit . You must know about the
message ( this message is suitable or not according
to the situation ) you are going to send.
2. Encoding_ The process of converting a message into
symbols..
3. Transmitting message _ Process in which we send or
transmit the message .
4. Receive
3. 3
5. Decoding _ The process of converting subject matter
into symbols .
6. Accept
7. Use
8. Give feedback _ The receiver responds after reading
the message.
Barrier in managing communication ;
The problems that occurs during communicating with
each other
1. Environmental Barriers :
The problems which are occured because of the
environment are called Environmental Barriers.In this
barrier , there are some environmental problems that
cause distractions that cause interruption in effective
communication.
For example:
Noise ,uncomfortable chairs,etc.
2. Linguistic Barriers :
The problems that occur due to language are
linguistics barriers. If a doctor talks with us we would
not be able to understand because of his language
(that a normal person could not understand).
4. 4
3. Physical barriers :
The problems that occur because someone is not
physically ill or some other things (due to which we
could not communicate with the one who is physically
not right) are called physical barriers. If someone is
physically weak he wouldn't be able to speak with
anyone so we could not communicate with him/her.
4. Psychological barrier:
The problem that occurs if someone is not mentally
alright is a psychological barrier.if someone's mood is
not good he is upset because of some reasons then
he could not communicate with us effectively.
5. Perceptual barrier:
The problem occurs due to some misunderstandings
such as belief in your eye not ears but sometimes the
eye also watches wrong is a perceptual barrier.for
example: we have listen by someone that he is not a
good person before meeting him we make perception
about him .this is the perceptual barrier.
5. 5
6. Context barrier:
The problem occurs because there are some
problems that occur about the speaker that what is
he narrating in this book or any written material is
called context barrier. For example: while reading a
topic of language before knowing its background we
couldn't understand what the writer is saying so this
causes lack of effective communication.
7. Personal barriers:
This problem occurs when someone interrupts
someone because of ego, anger or revenge,etc is a
personal barrier. If someone interrupts while the
other one is saying something because of personal
reasons.
