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 process with many sources of potential error.
In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in simple transmission of a message from the sender to the receiver. In many situations a lot of the true message is lost and the message that is heard is often far different than the one intended. This is most obvious in cross-cultural situations where language is an issue. But it is also common among people of the same culture.
Communications is so difficult because at each step in the process there major potential for error. By the time a message gets from a sender to a receiver there ...

BA411 Final Project – Effective Communication
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 communications from my project coordinators are coming across as rude, which in turn keeps morale low. 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 coordinators 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 associates 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.

Analysis 1.1
Case Study

In March 2010, 28 year-old Albert Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for breaching
security measures at several well-known retailers and stealing millions of credit card numbers, which he then
resold across a variety of shadow “carding” Web sites. Using a fairly simple packet sniffer, Gonzalez was able
to steal payment card transaction data in real time, which he then parked on blind servers in places such as
Latvia and Ukraine—countries formerly part of the Soviet Union. Gonzalez named his activities “Operation
Get Rich or Die Tryin'” and lived a lavish lifestyle by selling stolen credit card information. He was eventually
tracked down by the U.S. Secret Service, which was investigating the stolen card ring. Operation Get Rich or
Die Tryin' took place for more than two years and cost major retailers, such as TJX, OfficeMax, Barnes &
Noble, Heartland, and Hannaford, more than $200 million in losses and recovery costs. It is the largest
computer crime case ever prosecuted.
At first glance, Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin' seems to be an open-and-shut case. A hacker commits a
series of cybercrimes, is caught, and is successfully prosecuted. Fault and blame are assigned to the
cybercriminal, and justice is served for the corporations and the millions of people whose credit card
information was compromised.
Unless you ask the shareholders, banking partners, and some customers of TJX, who filed a series of class-
action lawsuits against the company claiming that the “high-level deficiencies” in its security practices make it
at least partially responsible for the damages caused by Albert Gonzalez and his accomplices. The lawsuits
point out, for example, that the packet sniffer Gonzalez attached to the TJX network went unnoticed for more
than seven months. Court documents also indicate that TJX failed to notice more than 80 GB of stored data
being transferred from its servers using TJX’s own high-speed network. Finally, an audit performed by TJX’s
payment-card processing partners found that it was noncompliant with 9 of the 12 requirements for secure
payment card transactions. TJX’s core information security policies were found to be so ineffective that the
judge presiding over sentencing hearing of Gonzalez reviewed them to determine whether TJX’s damages
claim against him of $171 million is valid.
Apart from lawsuits, TJX faced a serious backlash from customers and the media when the details of the
scope of the breaches trickled out. Customers reacted angrily when they learned that nearly six weeks had
passed between the discovery of the breach and its notification to the public. News organizations ran
headline stories that painted a picture of TJX as a clueless and uncaring company. Consumer organizations
openly warned people not to shop at TJX stores. TJX’s reputation and brand.

What is learning and memory?
Learning can be defined as acquisition of new
knowledge or skills and/or changes in behaviour as
a result of experience.
Memory refers to the storage and retrieval of
learned knowledge, skills or behaviours.

Aplysia californica as a model system for
cellular learning and memory
Studying cellular mechanisms for learning and memory in the mammalian
brain is a formidable challenge due to the enormous number of neurons and
the complexity of synaptic connections.
Aplysia californica is an advantagous model organism because:
- Neurons are quite few (20 000) and can be identified in the circuit.
- Neurons are rather big, making them readily accessable
for in vivo intracellular recordings

The gill-siphon reflex in aplysia offers a great
opportunity to link changes in neurons and
synapses with a behavioral output.
When a mechanical stimulus
is applied to the siphon, the
slug responds by withdrawing
its gill.

The synapse and some common forms of short-
term synaptic plasticity
Synaptic facilitation: rapid increase in synaptic strength when two APs arrive at the axon terminal
within a short interval of time. Increased Ca+ -influx causes more transmitter substance to be
released.
Synaptic depression: neurotransmitter release decline with sustained stimulation. A possible
mechanism might be depletion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles in the presynaptic neuron.
Augementation (acts over seconds) and potentation (post-tetanic, acts over minutes) are other forms
of short-term plasticity that enhance transmitter release due to prolonged and increased Ca+ levels.

Habituation in Aplysia
Habituation: reduced response to a stimulus that is neither harmful nor
beneficial.
In Aplysia: if the siphon is touched repeatedly, the snail will eventually stop
withdrawing its gill.
The response in the sensory neuron is mostly unchanged, so the habituating
effect on behaviour is likely to be mediated by a.

How to be Army Strong
I was 18 years old when I saw my favorite uncle in his uniform. I could see how much respect he got and how strong of a man he was and I wanted that for myself. I asked him how could I become strong like he was. He said to me, it’s not going to be an easy job. I would have to leave my family, friends and everything behind to fight for my country Saudi Arabia.
The first thing I needed was talk with a recruiter. He tried to make me see how difficult this walk was going to be. I believed the hard work would make me strong just like my uncle. We started off with a whole lot of questions. I filled out many different types of paperwork. The paper work included: criminal background checks, medical history, family history, and job history. I had to take a test to see if I was smart enough for the army. I think it was similar to the test soldiers take in America. It asked questions from basic mechanics, computers, cooking, and all general studies. Its purpose was to find out what job I could choose. I passed the test and then I was able to pick a job. I had my pick of a lot of different jobs but I chose to be a machine gunner. Then, after I chose my job, I signed my contract. After that, I was told to come back in two weeks for a drug test and medical test to see if I was fit for the Army. I had to do psychological testing and the doctor checked everything on my body I received my stamp and it was on to basic training.
The second step in becoming Army strong is going to basic training. There are three phases to go through. I arrived to the training camp called Reception. At Reception I received all of my equipment and clothing. I was assigned to the company where I would learn all about being a soldier. The first day I received a haircut and was taught how to properly exercise and gain strength of my body by doing Physical Training. I started learning how to run long distances and how to breathe the right way so I would not get too tired. I did not enjoy ring but I had to do it. After that I issued a M16 Assault Rifle. I took training classes on how to clean, fix and shoot. The next step was learning about the history of the Army and all the things it takes to make up a true soldier. I went through many field exercises where I learned about teamwork. The men were like brothers; we helped each other like a family I participated in rappelling, nuclear biological defense and weapons training. The next step was learning drill, which is how I am supposed to present my self in parades, when we march and at funerals. After that we learned tactics and techniques to stay alive. Then I learned medical training. I had to learn CPR, Heimlich maneuver, wound care and many other forms of medical procedures. The next stage I learned was radio communication. Radio communication is how I can communicate with other soldiers on a mission in the field. Then I learned combat fighting. I used bayonets, padded sticks and hand and hand comba.

Kudler Fine Foods Network Overview

University of Phoenix
NTC 362

Instructor
Upon reviewing Kudler Fine Food network, it has been determined that a major network overhaul will need to be conducted to make sure that Kudler is brought up to speed with the latest technology. This is very important because if Kudler is unable to keep up with the technological advances then the company will fall behind. Making sure that Kudler is not only able to keep up with the advances with network systems it is also important to install the proper systems so that no money is wasted. What is meant by this is that if the improper systems and storage units are installed to only handle data over the next year this is only going to force Kudler to spend more money in upgrades in the future. This is why it is vital to install the proper systems that will provide room for future network expansion without having to waste money on unnecessary upgrades. The following is a list of problem areas with the Kudler network: • 56K modems provide slow connections speeds
• Host systems at all site running Window 98 – over 10 years old • Windows NT servers are at the Delmar and Lajolla sites – over 10 years old. • The XLS servers at the Delmar and Lajolla sites are running Office 97 – over 15 years old. • The Novell Servers at the Delmar and Lajolla sites are running this was released in 1994. – over almost 20 years old. • All sites have a stand lone ups system that will need upgraded to provide a redundant power supply to support new systems.
One of the first things that were noticed was that fact that all of the sites are still running 56k modems. This is an old technology and is only hindering the speed between each site. Having the proper connection speed is vital to provide real time updates not only for the profits made each day, but providing the inventory updates on the products that are sold so that those items can be restocked without waiting. These modems will be removed to make the way for the new wide area network and within each site there will be a wireless local area network. The WAN will link all of the site networks together which will in turn boost the network speed and the way employees communicate. The communication aspect of the new network will incorporate a VoIP system and will be managed at one central location. “The great thing about VoIP is that it taps additional value from the already existing infrastructure without additional costs” This will provide the highest quality of phone network will saving on the cost of out phone services.
Another issue that issue that is hindering the speed and efficiency on the network is the fact that all the host systems being used within all the sites are Windows 98. These systems are well over ten years old and a.

NTHE
MIND OF GREAT
COMPANIES?
By Scott Blanchard
T
he old saying, "money isn't
everything," rings hollow in
today's business world.
where rninute-by-minute
stock quotes scroll across
our computer monitors, and
careers are won or lost based
on Wall Street's analysis of a
company's perforniance. Throw in giob-
al competition, outdated products and
services, increased costs, corporate silos
and other business challenges, and it's
no wonder that tnatiy of today's compa-
nies focus solely on their bottom line,
ofteti at the expense of customer service
and employee satisfaction.
It need not be this way. Great compa
nies focus on more than one bottom
line when gauging their perforniance.
Ttiey choose to be not only the invest-
ment of choice, but also the provider of
choice for their products or services, as
well as the employer of choice for work-
ers in their industry. By looking beyond
immediate, short term results and focus-
ing on strategies to make their compa-
nies successful for the long-term, they
recognize challenges sooner, identify
solutions more quickly and deliver re-
sults ahead of their competitors. In short,
they learn to lead at a higher level.
A clear warning sign that your busi-
ness is trapped in a short-term mindset
is the presence of an "either/or" philoso-
phy. Managers either believe they can
achieve profitability or they can develop
a great workplace, but not both. These
leaders don't always take morale and job
satisfaction into consideration. Their
focus is only their financial bottom line.
From there, it's a short leap to the false
notion tlrat making money is the sole
reason to be in business.
A NEW APPROACH
Contrary to the either/or philosophy,
leading at a higher level requires man-
agers to embrace a "both/and" approach.
In great companies, the development of
people is of equal importance to finan-
cial performance. As a result, the focus
is on long-term results and human satis-
faction. Accordingly, great companies
begin by both creating and nurturing a
vision of the future, and then measuring
progress against that vision.
There are three questions to ask,
which represent the main components
of a corporate vision. By focusing on
these questions, companies are more
likely to ensure they don't lose sight of
their path to success. They are:
• What business are you in? This will
help you identify your company's signif-
icant purpose.
• What will the future look like if you
are successful?
• What guides your behavior and deci-
sions on a daily basis? This will help
you identify clear values.
Great companies keep al! three of
these ideas clearly in mind and make
necessary course corrections when they
realize they are off track.
The next step is to create a corporate
culture that both reflects and reinforces
the corporate vision. The culture con-
sists of the values, attitudes, beliefs,
behaviors and practices of the organiza-
tion's members. Culture is an organiza-
tion's personality, and it can help or hin-

lnterviewing is one HR function that
almost all managers are involved
with at some point. Here are some
tips for conducting interviews that
identify the best candidates:
. Be prepared-Make sure the
place where you interview is
accessible and comfortable
for you and the candidate.
Read the candidate's r6sum6
and other paperwork ahead
of time, to avoid asking for
information that has already
been provided. Prepare a list
of questions, as well as infor-
mation about the company's
history, culture, and other
details the candidate might be
interested in knowing.
t Put the applicant at ease- A
nervous or cautious job candi-
eate !'!':ay not show his or her
es. qua\itres. Express your
appreciation tor the candr-
date's time, and let the person
know you're glad to meet him
'';
i- i lr'
or her. Briefly explain what to
expect during the interview.
. Ask about past behaviors-
Talking about specific events
makes it harder for a candidate
to focus on guessing what the
interviewer wants to hear, and
the answers give clues about
what the candidate will do in
new situations. For examPle,
depending on the type of job,
you might ask, "Ptease telt
me about a time when you
received a customer comPlaint
and how you handled it," or
"This job involves tight dead-
lines; could you tell me about
a time when you faced a dif-
ficult deadtine?"
. Listen-fhe interview infor-
mation is only as good as the
interviewer's ability to gather
it. Let the candidate do most
oi \he ta\krng, and par; atten-
tion to what is being said and
not said. lf a candidate sounds
vague or too good to be true,
ask follow-up questions to
gather details.
. Take nofes-As much as you
can without distracting Your-
self or the candidate, jot down
notes to remind you of keY
points. Also schedule 5 or 10
minutes after each interview for
writing down your impressions.
r At the end of the interview,
make sure the candidate
knows what to expect next-
for example, a phone call or
additional interviews within
the next week.

WHITHER THE EMERGENCY MANAGER? 1
Neil R Britton, PhD
Ministry of Emergency Management & Civil Defence
Wellington, NEW ZEALAND2
Introduction
The invitation to comment on Thomas E Drabek’s Human System Responses to
Disaster: An Inventory of Sociological Findings provides an opportunity to reflect on
the practice of emergency management and the evolving role of the emergency manager.
This focus is timely. The past decade has brought disaster into sharp relief for many;
several large-scale impacts have occurred; and disaster costs (in lives and property
damage) have escalated. The links between community growth, land-use management
practices and vulnerability have become more apparent. These issues have taken place at a
time when the clarion call is for smaller government and more fiscal constraint. This
combination is prompting questions, particularly from central government, about the
function and value of emergency management arrangements.
It is also appropriate to re-think the emergency manager’s role in contemporary society.
Much has changed in 10 years, ranging from the burgeoning of relevant information to the
need to develop integrated management programs for responders. This is leading to a re-
definition of the task-set and a re-evaluation of the emergency manager’s job parameters.
College-level programs and other knowledge-based accreditation courses are rapidly
becoming a prerequisite. These developments are enhancing the image of emergency
management and helping it progress to being a distinctive professional sector.
This essay uses Drabek’s 1986 publication Human System Responses to Disasters as a
vehicle to reflect on major developments influencing emergency management practice. It
begins by locating Human System Responses to Disasters within the disaster sociology
literature, and argues that the book makes two major contributions to disaster study. From
here, the focus of the essay shifts from Drabek’s work to identifying elements that
characterized emergency management practice at the time when Drabek wrote his text.
The essay moves on to look at some current issues pertaining to emergency management,
and leads into a discussion of where the practice might be heading in the coming decade.
A brief return to Human System Responses to Disasters completes the discussion.
1 Paper requested by the Editor, The International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters.
Statements in this paper were first presented at a session of the International Research
Committee on Disasters (ISA Research Committee 39), at the 14th World Congress of
Sociology, Montreal (Quebec), Canada. 26 July - 1 August 1998. The session explored the
contribution of Thomas E Drabek’s textbook Human System Responses to Disaster: An
Inventory of Sociological Findings.

Now, its time to create that treasure map to hide the treasur.docxhenrymartin15260
Now, it's time to create that treasure map to hide the treasure from Ol' Red Coat's family.
Decide on which quadrilateral you will create. For this activity you may use a kite, trapezoid or a parallelogram (that is not a square, rhombus, or rectangle).
Graph the quadrilateral on a coordinate plane. You may print and use graph paper a drawing program such as GeoGebra. The four vertices of the quadrilateral will serve as four destinations on your map. One can be the starting point, the others can be clues along the way, and the last one will be where X marks the spot!
Find the length and slope of each side to justify the classification of your quadrilateral. For example, if your map was a square, your calculations would prove that all four sides are congruent, slopes of opposite sides are congruent, and slopes of adjacent sides are opposite reciprocals.
You need to create a set of directions so you can come back and find the treasure later. Your directions need to explain how to get from each destination on the map to the next one. Use the properties of quadrilaterals in your directions. At least three different quadrilateral properties must be used.
What does it mean to use properties of quadrilaterals in your directions? Here is an example: If your map is in the shape of a parallelogram, your opposite sides will have equal slopes. You could say that to get from Point A to Point B you travel up 3 units and right 2 units to the Palm Tree. From there you might travel East 5 units to Point C. From Point C, you would travel down 3 and left 2 units, where X marks the spot. This proves that the slopes of opposite sides are equal. Include two more properties in your directions. Don’t forget to finish the directions to return to the starting point. See example below.
Get creative and think of clever ways to use the different properties!
Create a key for your map. Show proof that following the directions will get you to the treasure. If one of the directions is to make a 90 degree turn, show how you can prove the turn from one side to another is 90 degrees.
If one of the directions is to travel the same distance as a previous side, use the distance formula to show the two distances are the same.
Submit the following to your instructor:
1. The treasure map on a coordinate plane
2. The length and slope of each side to justify the classification of your quadrilateral
3. The directions to finding the treasure: Include the explanation for how each direction represents a quadrilateral property. Be sure to include at least three properties.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Effective Communication:
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 process with
many sources of potential error.
In any communication at least some of the "meaning" lost in
simple transmission of a message from the sender to the
receiver. In many situations a lot of the true message is lost and
the message that is heard is often far different than the one
intended. This is most obvious in cross-cultural situations where
language is an issue. But it is also common among people of the
same culture.
Communications is so difficult because at each step in the
process there major potential for error. By the time a message
gets from a sender to a receiver there are four basic places
where transmission errors can take place and at each place,
there are a multitude of potential sources of error. Thus it is no
3. surprise that social psychologists estimate that there is usually a
40-60% loss of meaning in the transmission of messages from
sender to receiver.
It is critical to understand this process, understand and be aware
of the potential sources of errors and constantly counteract
these tendencies by making a conscientious effort to make sure
there is a minimal loss of meaning in your conversation.
It is also very important to understand that a majoring of
communication is non-verbal. This means that when we
attribute meaning to what someone else is saying, the verbal
part of the message actually means less than the non-verbal
part. The non-verbal part includes such things as body language
and tone.
Barriers to Effective Communication
There are a wide number of sources of noise or interference that
can enter into the communication process. This can occur when
people now each other very well and should understand the
sources of error. In a work setting, it is even more common
since interactions involve people who not only don't have years
of experience with each other, but communication is
complicated by the complex and often confliction relationships
that exist at work. In a work setting, the following suggests a
number of sources of noise:
· Language: The choice of words or language in which a sender
encodes a message will influence the quality of communication.
Because language is a symbolic representation of a
phenomenon, room for interpretation and distortion of the
meaning exists. In the above example, the Boss uses language
(this is the third day you've missed) that is likely to convey far
more than objective information. To Terry it conveys
indifference to her medical problems. Note that the same words
will be interpreted different by each different person. Meaning
has to be given to words and many factors affect how an
individual will attribute meaning to particular words. It is
important to note that no two people will attribute the exact
same meaning to the same words.
4. · Defensiveness, distorted perceptions, guilt, project,
transference, distortions from the past
· Misreading of body language, tone and other non-verbal forms
of communication
· Noisy transmission (unreliable messages, inconsistency)
· Receiver distortion: selective hearing, ignoring non-verbal
cues
· Power struggles
· Self-fulfilling assumptions
· Language-different levels of meaning
· Assumptions-eg. assuming others see situation same as you,
has same feelings as you
· Distrusted source, erroneous translation, value judgment, state
of mind of two people
· Perceptual Biases: People attend to stimuli in the environment
in very different ways. We each have shortcuts that we use to
organize data. Invariably, these shortcuts introduce some biases
into communication. Some of these shortcuts include
stereotyping, projection, and self-fulfilling prophecies.
Stereotyping is one of the most common. This is when we
assume that the other person has certain characteristics based on
the group to which they belong without validating that they in
fact have these characteristics.
· Interpersonal Relationships: How we perceive communication
is affected by the past experience with the individual.
Perception is also affected by the organizational relationship
two people have. For example, communication from a superior
may be perceived differently than that from a subordinate or
peer
· Cultural Differences: Effective communication requires
deciphering the basic values, motives, aspirations, and
assumptions that operate across geographical lines. Given some
dramatic differences across cultures in approaches to such areas
as time, space, and privacy, the opportunities for mis-
communication while we are in cross-cultural situations are
plentiful.
5. Reading Nonverbal Communication Cues
A large percentage (studies suggest over 90%) of the meaning
we derive from communication, we derive from the non-verbal
cues that the other person gives. Often a person says one thing
but communicates something totally different through vocal
intonation and body language. These mixed signals force the
receiver to choose between the verbal and nonverbal parts of the
message. Most often, the receiver chooses the nonverbal
aspects. Mixed messages create tension and distrust because the
receiver senses that the communicator is hiding something or is
being less than candid.
Nonverbal communication is made up of the following parts:
1. Visual
2. Tactile
3. Vocal
4. Use of time, space, and image
Visual:
This often called body language and includes facial expression,
eye movement, posture, and gestures. The face is the biggest
part of this. All of us "read" people's faces for ways to interpret
what they say and feel. This fact becomes very apparent when
we deal with someone with dark sunglasses. Of course we can
easily misread these cues especially when communicating
across cultures where gestures can mean something very
different in another culture. For example, in American culture
agreement might be indicated by the head going up and down
whereas in India, a side-to-side head movement might mean the
same thing.
We also look to posture to provide cues about the
communicator; posture can indicate self-confidence,
aggressiveness, fear, guilt, or anxiety. Similarly, we look at
gestures such as how we hold our hands, or a handshake. Many
gestures are culture bound and susceptible to misinterpretation
Tactile:
This involves the use of touch to impart meaning as in a
6. handshake, a pat on the back, an arm around the shoulder, a
kiss, or a hug.
Vocal:
The meaning of words can be altered significantly by changing
the intonation of one's voice. Think of how many ways you can
say "no"-you could express mild doubt, terror, amazement,
anger among other emotions. Vocal meanings vary across
cultures. Intonation in one culture can mean support; another
anger
Use of Time as Nonverbal Communication:
Use of time can communicate how we view our own status and
power in relation to others. Think about how a subordinate and
his/her boss would view arriving at a place for an agreed upon
meeting...
Physical Space:
For most of us, someone standing very close to us makes us
uncomfortable. We feel our "space" has been invaded. People
seek to extend their territory in many ways to attain power and
intimacy. We tend to mark our territory either with permanent
walls, or in a classroom with our coat, pen, paper, etc. We like
to protect and control our territory. For Americans, the
"intimate zone" is about two feet; this can vary from culture to
culture. This zone is reserved for our closest friends. The
"personal zone" from about 2-4 feet usually is reserved for
family and friends. The social zone (4-12 feet) is where most
business transactions take place. The "public zone" (over 12
feet) is used for lectures. Similarly, we use "things" to
communicate. This can involve expensive things, neat or messy
things, photographs, plants, etc. Image: We use clothing and
other dimensions of physical appearance to communicate our
values and expectations
Nonverbal Communication:
A "majority" of the meaning we attribute to words comes not
from the words themselves, but from nonverbal factors such as
7. gestures, facial expressions, tone, body language, etc.
Nonverbal cues can play five roles:
1. Repetition: they can repeat the message the person is making
verbally
2. Contradiction: they can contradict a message the individual is
trying to convey
3. Substitution: they can substitute for a verbal message. For
example, a person's eyes can often convey a far more vivid
message than words and often do
4. Complementing: they may add to or complement a verbal
message. A boss who pats a person on the back in addition to
giving praise can increase the impact of the message
5. Accenting: non-verbal communication may accept or
underline a verbal message. Pounding the table, for example,
can underline a message.
Skillful communicators understand the importance of nonverbal
communication and use it to increase their effectiveness, as well
as use it to understand more clearly what someone else is really
saying.
A word of warning: Nonverbal cues can differ dramatically
from culture to culture. An American hand gesture meaning "A-
OK" would be viewed as obscene in some South American
countries. Be careful.
Developing Communication Skills: Listening Skills
There are a number of situations when you need to solicit good
information from others; these situations include interviewing
candidates, solving work problems, seeking to help an employee
on work performance, and finding out reasons for performance
discrepancies.
Skill in communication involves a number of specific strengths.
The first we will discuss involves listening skills. The following
lists some suggestions for effective listening when confronted
with a problem at work:
· Listen openly and with empathy to the other person
· Judge the content, not the messenger or delivery; comprehend
before you judge
8. · Use multiple techniques to fully comprehend (ask, repeat,
rephrase, etc.)
· Active body state; fight distractions
· Ask the other person for as much detail as he/she can provide;
paraphrase what the other is saying to make sure you understand
it and check for understanding
· Respond in an interested way that shows you understand the
problem and the employee's concern
· Attend to non-verbal cues, body language, not just words;
listen between the lines
· Ask the other for his views or suggestions
· State your position openly; be specific, not global
· Communicate your feelings but don't act them out (eg. tell a
person that his behavior really upsets you; don't get angry)
· Be descriptive, not evaluative-describe objectively, your
reactions, consequences
· Be validating, not invalidating ("You wouldn't understand");
acknowledge other’s uniqueness, importance
· Be conjunctive, not disjunctive (not "I want to discuss this
regardless of what you want to discuss");
· Don't totally control conversation; acknowledge what was said
· Own up: use "I", not "They"... not "I've heard you are non-
cooperative"
· Don't react to emotional words, but interpret their purpose
· Practice supportive listening, not one way listening
· Decide on specific follow-up actions and specific follow up
dates
A major source of problem in communication is defensiveness.
Effective communicators are aware that defensiveness is a
typical response in a work situation especially when negative
information or criticism is involved. Be aware that
defensiveness is common, particularly with subordinates when
you are dealing with a problem. Try to make adjustments to
compensate for the likely defensiveness. Realize that when
people feel threatened they will try to protect themselves; this is
natural. This defensiveness can take the form of aggression,
9. anger, competitiveness, avoidance among other responses. A
skillful listener is aware of the potential for defensiveness and
makes needed adjustment. He or she is aware that self-
protection is necessary and avoids making the other person
spend energy defending the self.
In addition, a supportive and effective listener does the
following:
· Stop Talking: Asks the other person for as much detail as
he/she can provide; asks for other's views and suggestions
· Looks at the person, listens openly and with empathy to the
employee; is clear about his position; be patient
· Listen and Respond in an interested way that shows you
understand the problem and the other's concern is validating,
not invalidating ("You wouldn't understand"); acknowledge
other’s uniqueness, importance
· Checks for understanding; paraphrases; asks questions for
clarification
· Do not control conversation; acknowledges what was said; lets
the other finish before responding
· Focus on the problem, not the person; is descriptive and
specific, not evaluative; focuses on content, not delivery or
emotion
· Attend to emotional as well as cognitive messages (e.g.,
anger); aware of non-verbal cues, body language, etc.; listen
between the lines
· React to the message, not the person, delivery or emotion
· Make sure you comprehend before you judge; ask questions
· Use many techniques to fully comprehend
· Stay in an active body state to aid listening
· Fight distractions
· Take Notes; Decide on specific follow-up actions and specific

"I don't know how to turn her performance around; she never
used to have these attendance problems and her work used to be
so good; I don't know why this is happening and what to do."
10. This manager is struggling with one of the most important yet
trickiest and most difficult management tasks: providing
constructive and useful feedback to others. Effective feedback
is absolutely essential to organizational effectiveness; people
must know where they are and where to go next in terms of
expectations and goals-yours, their own, and the organization.
Feedback taps basic human needs-to improve, to compete, to be
accurate; people want to be competent. Feedback can be
reinforcing; if given properly, feedback is almost always
appreciated and motivates people to improve. But for many
people, daily work is like bowling with a curtain placed
between them and the pins; they receive little information.
Be aware of the many reasons why people are hesitant to give
feedback; they include fear of causing embarrassment,
discomfort, fear of an emotional reaction, and inability to
handle the reaction. It is crucial that we realize how critical
feedback can be and overcome our difficulties; it is very
important and can be very rewarding but it requires skill,
understanding, courage, and respect for yourself and others.
Withholding constructive feedback is like sending people out on
a dangerous hike without a compass. This is especially true in
today's fast changing and demanding workplace. Why managers
are often reluctant to provide feedback? As important as
feedback is, this critical managerial task remains one of the
most problematic. Many managers would rather have root canal
work than provide feedback to another-especially feedback that
might be viewed as critical. Why are managers so reluctant to
provide feedback? The reasons are many:
· Fear of the other person's reaction; people can get very
defensive and emotional when confronted with feedback and
many managers are very fearful of the reaction
· The feedback may be based on subjective feeling and the
manager may be unable to give concrete information if the other
person questions the basis for the feedback
· The information on which the feedback is based (eg.
performance appraisal) may be a very flawed process and the
11. manager may not totally trust the information
· Many managers would prefer being a coach than "playing
God."
· Other factors get in the way of effective communication or
feedback sessions. Some of these reasons are:
· Defensiveness, distorted perceptions, guilt, project,
transference, distortions from the past
· Misreading of body language, tone
· Noisy transmission (unreliable messages, inconsistency)
· Receiver distortion: selective hearing, ignoring non-verbal
cues
· Power struggles
· Self-fulfilling assumptions
· Language-different levels of meaning
· Managers hesitation to be candid
· Assumptions-eg. assuming others see situation same as you,
has same feelings as you
· Distrusted source, erroneous translation, value judgment, state
of mind of two people
Characteristics of Effective Feedback
Effective Feedback has most of the following characteristics:
· Descriptive (not evaluative) (avoids defensiveness.) By
describing one's own reactions, it leaves the individual free to
use it or not to use it as he sees fit..
· avoid accusations; present data if necessary
· describe your own reactions or feelings; describe objective
consequences that have or will occur; focus on behavior and
your own reaction, not on other individual or his or her
attributes
· suggest more acceptable alternative; be prepared to discuss
additional alternatives; focus on alternatives
· Specific rather than general.
· Focused on behavior not the person. It is important that we
refer to what a person does rather than to what we think he is.
Thus we might say that a person "talked more than anyone else
in this meeting" rather than that he is a "loud-mouth."
12. · It takes into account the needs of both the receiver and giver
of feedback. It should be given to help, not to hurt. We too
often give feedback because it makes us feel better or gives us a
psychological advantage.
· It is directed toward behavior which the receiver can do
something about. A person gets frustrated when reminded of
some shortcoming over which he has no control.
· It is solicited rather than imposed. Feedback is most useful
when the receiver himself has formulated the kind of question
which those observing him can answer or when he actively
seeks feedback.
· Feedback is useful when well-timed (soon after the behavior-
depending, of course, on the person's readiness to hear it,
support available from others, and so forth). Excellent feedback
presented at an inappropriate time may do more harm than good.
· Sharing of information, rather than giving advice allows a
person to decide for himself, in accordance with his own goals
and needs. When we give advice we tell him what to do, and to
some degree take away his freedom to do decide for himself.
· It involves the amount of information the receiver can use
rather than the amount we would like to give. To overload a
person with feedback is to reduce the possibility that he may be
able to use what he receives effectively. When we give more
than can be used, we are more often than not satisfying some
need of our own rather than helping the other person.
· It concerns what is said and done, or how, not why. The "why"
involves assumptions regarding motive or intent and this tends
to alienate the person generate resentment, suspicion, and
distrust. If we are uncertain of his motives or intent, this
uncertainty itself is feedback, however, and should be revealed.
· It is checked to insure clear communication. One way of doing
this is to have the receiver try to rephrase the feedback. No
matter what the intent, feedback is often threatening and thus
subject to considerable distortion or misinterpretation.
· It is checked to determine degree of agreement from others.
Such "consensual validation" is of value to both the sender and
13. receiver.
· It is followed by attention to the consequences of the
feedback. The supervisor needs to become acutely aware of the
effects of his feedback.
· It is an important step toward authenticity. Constructive
feedback opens the way to a relationship which is built on trust,
honest, and genuine concern and mutual growth.

Annotated Bibliography: The Road Compare/Contrast Argument
The Purpose:
An annotated bibliography provides specific information about
each source you are
(theoretically) using. As a researcher, you have become an
expert on your topic: you have the
ability to explain the content of your sources, assess their
usefulness, and share this information
with others who may be less familiar with them. Think of your
paper as part of a conversation
with people interested in the same things you are; the annotated
bibliography allows you to tell
14. readers what to check out, what might be worth checking out in
some situations, and what might
not be worth spending time on. You want to give your audience
enough information to
understand what each text is about so that 1) Your credibility as
a researcher and scholar is clear
and 2) These fellow scholars can also dive into your resources
and explore on their own.
A good annotated bibliography:
works you are using, their
place within a field of study, and their relation to your own
research and ideas.

sources, possibly including a
comparison with some of those already on your list. You may
want to establish
connections to other aspects of the same argument or opposing
views.
Title your annotated bibliography “Annotated Bibliography”
Following MLA format, use a
hanging indent for your bibliographic information. This means
the first line is not indented and
16. all the other lines are indented four spaces or “tabbed” over.
Begin your annotation immediately after the bibliographic
information of the source ends; don’t
skip a line down.

Butler, Judith. The Psychic Life of Power: Theories in
Subjection. Stanford: Stanford
University Press. 1997. Print. Butler presents her theories on
the psychic imprint
subjection takes on the human psyche, and how that plays a
seminal role on the
individual’s identity formation. Further, she discusses the idea
that it is the ideologies and
entities that hold power over the individual at key moments in
their development, which
form the individual’s conception of self, thereby become the
very thing that the
17. individual relies on for identity. Her theory hinges on the idea
that the psyche itself is in
some ways a fabrication, and as such control and power are
housed within as much as
without. This text will be critical for me as I explore the ways
in which Jackson’s
protagonist, Eleanor, suffers in part because she has
internalized her own domination,
making it nearly impossible for her to break away from her
ideological entrapment.
Lootens, Tricia. “‘Whose Hand Was I Holding?’ Familial and
Sexual Politics in Shirley
Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House.” Haunting the House of
Fiction: Feminist
Perspectives on Ghost Stories by American Women. (1991):
166-192. Web. 28 April
2013. Lootens’ rather formidable article examines the
progression of Jackson’s text from
first draft to final draft in an attempt to decipher at what point
the theme of “domestic
terror” became the prominent one. She carefully tracks the
development of the two
female characters in particular, demonstrating that the two
18. characters seem to have been
born out of one character, Mary Vance. Lastly she discusses the
outcome, what she called
the Eleanor draft, analyzing Jackson’s notes as well as the
changes made within scenes in
an attempt to demonstrate how Hill House transformed from
ghost story to a story of the
terrible sacrifice women make as a result of pressures of
domesticity. Much of Lootens’
rhetorical moves are fascinating and compelling. However, I do
feel she might lean to
heavily on authorial intent, and indeed, her own careful
cataloguing of Jackson’s notes
and edits serves to undermine her emphasis on authorial intent,
by making it clear that
despite an author’s plan, stories tend to take on lives of their
own during the writing
process. I do feel she identifies key scenes of import in regard
to the conflict between
Eleanor and Theodora, especially in regard to their lifestyle
choices, and she also
highlights the sexual tension between the two, which will prove
useful in my own paper.
19. Newman, Judie. “Shirley Jackson and the Reproduction of
Mothering; The Haunting
of Hill House.” American Horror Fiction; from Brockden
Brown to Stephen King. New
York: St. Martin’s Press. 1990. 120-134. Print. Newman’s essay
is a thorough
psychoanalytic reading on Jackson’s text, with a focus on the
two female characters. She
asserts that Eleanor Vance is “mother-dominated,” and as such,
the haunted, “engulfing
mother” figure that is Hill House is able to assert itself upon the
identity-challenged
Eleanor. She then builds a contrast between Theo and Eleanor,
arguing that because Theo
has agency prior to her arrival at Hill House, she is able to
resist the psychological trap it
presents in a way that Eleanor is not. Newman’s read of
Jackson’s text is complex and
well supported. I am particularly interested in picking up where
her argument leaves off
in regard to her idea that for Eleanor identity is “both desired
and rejected.” She makes
this claim but does not explain why or how. I would like to
build upon this idea and
