Introduction
The topic question is the effectiveness of the interpersonal communication so as to help in human understanding one another. Without communication of whatsoever kind, it would be difficult to express ourselves and to be understood by others since communication is the core basis of a healthy relationship.
Communication entails people from a different background so as to speak to others in a manner that is clear (Campbell 2017). One is the parents so that they can be able to address the children in a well-sorted manner. Another is spouses so as to have an effective way of expressing feelings, desires, and sharing of the ideas with one another. Relationships strengthen through the exchange of feelings, ideas, and expressing one’s desires which are enabled by effective communication. Another is public so as to understand ways of understanding ideas and the blocks that can arise to an efficient transition to the communication.
The article is looking for the means to examine various interpersonal skill that is vital during the communication process. Since communication is essential barriers that block its effectiveness in the expression of one's feeling will also be mentioned. An idea cannot be implemented if there are no proper means of communication. Also, the equation like does being a good speaker increases one’s self-confidence. The influence that the culture in the process of one’s communication skills.
The following are the topic sentences that will address in the research together with all the possible angles the needs to be exhausted.
(i) Principles of a constructive interpersonal communication
(ii) Barriers to effective interpersonal communication
(iii) The role of communication in maintaining and enhancing one’s self-esteem, self-image, and self-concept.
(iv) The impact of gender and culture on the overall interpersonal communication of an individual.
Principles of a constructive interpersonal communication
To develop an effective mode of communication with another person the following principles must be observed:
A). Treating each other with respect
Respect has to prevail in communication for effective communication to be attained. By showing respect, an enjoyable communication is enhanced since all the parties will get eager to listen to each other’s sentiments (Knapp et al., 2014).
B). Avoiding interrupting each other.
Interruption interferes with one’s listening and hinders an effective communication. We should learn to listen to talking, and we should apply turn taking in communication to avoid unnecessary interruption.
C). Another principle is knowing that we have the right to pass.
This principle shows that as individuals, we have the right to choose what we want to do. We must understand that ...

This document discusses different types of communication. It begins by defining communication and describing the communication process. It then outlines and provides details on several types of communication: intrapersonal, interpersonal, small group, public, extended, organizational, and intercultural. For each type, it explains the participants, channels, and dynamics involved. The types of communication are categorized based on factors like number of participants, purpose, style, and use of technology.
Oral communication refers to any interaction that uses spoken words and includes non-verbal elements like body language and tone. It encompasses skills like coherent speaking, listening, and understanding verbal and non-verbal cues. There are several forms of oral communication, including intrapersonal communication (self-talk), interpersonal communication (between individuals), small group communication, public communication, mass communication, corporate communication, and intercultural communication. The process of oral communication involves identifying the audience's needs, using clear speaking and active listening skills, and ensuring the message is understood.

Dear Bob and Meggan,
An engagement for any couple can be considered an exciting and blissful milestone. It is also a time when a couple can truly begin to incorporate communication within their own relationship, as well as how they communicate with others. People have different perspectives, values, and traditions that will ultimately help define the new establishment between two people. Typically, couples have already developed their own self concept which has the ability to contribute to the relationship in a positive or negative aspect. Couples develop an illusion of their partner’s differences and do not take the time to understand the reality of the situation. Understanding all expressional elements is essential to ensure communication is implemented effectively to further enhance the relationship.
Learning Outcome #1: Couples have the ability to communicate effectively using the principles of communication, and neither individual is exempt from common misconceptions.
Researchers Paul Watzalawick, Janet Beavin, and Don D. Jackson created a model that focused on the principles of interpersonal communication. According to the communication model created by Watzalwick, Beavin, and Jackson (1967), it demonstrates how communication is expressed through all elements within a message and how it is applied to the people involved in the relationship. The model is designed to show the process where both parties in the relationship are a sender and receiver. Both perspectives of communication are considered in the model to help provide a better understanding on the principles in various relationships. Misconceptions in effective communication are also important to consider when communicating. According to Deborah Cameron’s The Myth of Mars and Venus: Do Men and Women Really Speak Different Languages, “the idea that men and women differ fundamentally in the way they use language to communicate is a myth in the everyday sense: a widespread but false belief” (Poole, 2007).
The model describes how “communication is ongoing, whenever we are in the presence of another person, communication is taking place” (Sole, 2011, p. 2.3). Communicating is inevitable and can be expressed verbally or nonverbally. The sender and receiver are both important in the communicating cycle. A person sends a message by a verbal or nonverbal expression and the other person receives the message based on the how the message is presented. The process of communication becomes a cycle because both people will continue to communicate with each other based on the initial approach.

Non-verbal communication plays an important role in intercultural communication. Understanding and using appropriate non-verbal behaviors is important when living and studying in an English-speaking country. The study examines the role of non-verbal communication in intercultural communication and identifies challenges participants have faced with intercultural communication, suggesting the need to incorporate non-verbal communication skills into English language teaching. Effective non-verbal communication can help overcome barriers in intercultural exchanges.
The document outlines several key principles for effective communication, including listening actively, making eye contact, speaking enthusiastically, asking questions, and being aware of body language. It also discusses potential barriers to communication such as language differences, overuse of jargon, irrelevant topics, differing viewpoints, cultural differences, noise interference, and emotional barriers like prejudice. Some ways to overcome these barriers include clarifying any misunderstandings, using simpler language, keeping discussions relevant, finding common goals, adapting to different cultures, and setting up meetings in quiet locations.

I. Introduction and Thesis Statement
I am writing this letter to emphasize the importance of interpersonal communication in the workplace. Effective communication at the workplace has many benefits among them employee morale, team building, and workplace diversity which all help increase productivity at the workplace.
II. Body
1) Principles and barriers to effective interpersonal communications.
A. Topic Sentence
The achievement of effective interpersonal communication is usually through the conscious awareness of four principles: It is inescapable; It is irreversible; It is complicated, and It is contextual.
B. Supporting Evidence
King explains that the principles underlie the mechanisms of real life interpersonal communication and such we cannot just ignore them. The four principles are basic to communication (King, 2000).
C. Explanation
We cannot escape from communicating. Communicating is not restricted to verbal communication, we communicate significantly through our body language. It is also important to keep in mind that once you have communicated, either verbally or non- verbally, it is irreversible. Different words have different meanings by different people in different circumstances, further illustrating the complicated nature of interpersonal communication. Communication also does not happen in isolation according to the contextual principle. The contexts referred to, in this case, are psychological, relational, situational, environmental, and cultural.
D. Why Does This Matter?
It is important to have knowledge of these principles since all barriers to interpersonal communication relate to one of the principles. With the know-how, you can easily handle tricky situations as regards interpersonal communication.
2) Analysis of the role of communication in developing and maintaining one’s self- concept, self- image, and self- esteem.
A. Topic Sentence
Self- concept, self- esteem, and self- image affect an individual’s ability to be sensitive to others, their interpretation of messages, their social needs, and their typical communication style.
B. Supporting Evidence
The way we communicate with others is of major importance since we let people know who we are, what our values are, what we believe in, and how we feel. The communication process influences our own behavior and self-concept. It also influences the behavior and self- concept of others too (South Eastern CASA, 2015).
C. Explanation
Becoming other- oriented is the first step in developing quality interpersonal relationships with others especially at the workplace. It is all about being sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others in the workplace.
D. Why Does This Matter?

Class 10_IT402 Communication Skills.pptxTanuNijhawan
Verbal and non-verbal communication are discussed. Verbal communication includes oral communication through spoken words and written communication through typed or written words. Non-verbal communication conveys messages without words through body language, appearance, touch, space, and visual methods. Effective communication requires feedback, which should be clear, timely, specific, and informative. Barriers like language differences, perceptions, and attitudes can interfere with understanding but can be overcome through active listening, simple language, and addressing physical and psychological barriers.

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.
This document discusses interpersonal communication and related concepts. It begins with an outline of topics covered in an interpersonal communication unit, including effective listening skills, assertiveness, and asking questions. It then defines interpersonal communication as the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people through verbal and nonverbal channels. Key aspects covered include types of communication, basic elements like communicators and messages, importance of skills like listening, and principles of communication being contextual and complicated.
This document discusses interpersonal communication and provides an overview of key concepts. It defines interpersonal communication as the process of exchanging information, feelings, and meaning between two or more people through verbal and non-verbal messages. The document outlines important elements of interpersonal communication like communicators, messages, noise, feedback, context and channels. It also discusses principles of interpersonal communication, importance of skills like listening, and tips to improve interpersonal skills.
Here are some key challenges in communication:
- Language barriers. Communicating across languages and cultures can lead to misunderstandings if
translating words directly without considering cultural context. Nuances may be lost.
- Assumptions. Making assumptions about what is meant without clarifying can derail effective
communication. People interpret things differently based on their background and perspective.
- Listening skills. Active listening is challenging but important for true understanding. It's easy to
think about responding instead of focusing on comprehending the other perspective.
- Nonverbal communication. Facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and other nonverbal
cues can contradict or enhance verbal messages but are open to various interpretations.

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the

Case Study #3
Apple Suppliers & Labor Practices
With its highly coveted line of consumer electronics, Apple has a cult following among loyal consumers. During the 2014 holiday season, 74.5 million iPhones were sold. Demand like this meant that Apple was in line to make over $52 billion in profits in 2015, the largest annual profit ever generated from a company’s operations. Despite its consistent financial performance year over year, Apple’s robust profit margin hides a more complicated set of business ethics. Similar to many products sold in the U.S., Apple does not manufacture most its goods domestically. Most of the component sourcing and factory production is done overseas in conditions that critics have argued are dangerous to workers and harmful to the environment.
For example, tin is a major component in Apple’s products and much of it is sourced in Indonesia. Although there are mines that source tin ethically, there are also many that do not. One study found workers—many of them children—working in unsafe conditions, digging tin out by hand in mines prone to landslides that could bury workers alive. About 70% of the tin used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets comes from these more dangerous, small-scale mines. An investigation by the BBC revealed how perilous these working conditions can be. In interviews with miners, a 12-yearold working at the bottom of a 70-foot cliff of sand said: “I worry about landslides. The earth slipping from up there to the bottom. It could happen.”
Apple defends its practices by saying it only has so much control over monitoring and regulating its component sources. The company justifies its sourcing practices by saying that it is a complex process, with tens of thousands of miners selling tin, many of them through middle-men. In a statement to the BBC, Apple said “the simplest course of action would be for Apple to unilaterally refuse any tin from Indonesian mines. That would be easy for us to do and would certainly shield us from criticism. But that would also be the lazy and cowardly path, since it would do nothing to improve the situation. We have chosen to stay engaged and attempt to drive changes on the ground.”
In an effort for greater transparency, Apple has released annual reports detailing their work with suppliers and labor practices. While more recent investigations have shown some improvements to suppliers’ working conditions, Apple continues to face criticism as consumer demand for iPhones and other products continues to grow.

Non-verbal communication plays an important role in intercultural communication. Understanding and using appropriate non-verbal behaviors is important when living and studying in an English-speaking country. The study examines the role of non-verbal communication in intercultural communication and identifies challenges participants have faced with intercultural communication, suggesting the need to incorporate non-verbal communication skills into English language teaching. Effective non-verbal communication can help overcome barriers in intercultural exchanges.
The document outlines several key principles for effective communication, including listening actively, making eye contact, speaking enthusiastically, asking questions, and being aware of body language. It also discusses potential barriers to communication such as language differences, overuse of jargon, irrelevant topics, differing viewpoints, cultural differences, noise interference, and emotional barriers like prejudice. Some ways to overcome these barriers include clarifying any misunderstandings, using simpler language, keeping discussions relevant, finding common goals, adapting to different cultures, and setting up meetings in quiet locations.

COM200: Interpersonal Communication
Kyle Ferguson
July 6, 2016
I. Introduction and Thesis Statement
I am writing this letter to emphasize the importance of interpersonal communication in the workplace. Effective communication at the workplace has many benefits among them employee morale, team building, and workplace diversity which all help increase productivity at the workplace.
II. Body
1) Principles and barriers to effective interpersonal communications.
A. Topic Sentence
The achievement of effective interpersonal communication is usually through the conscious awareness of four principles: It is inescapable; It is irreversible; It is complicated, and It is contextual.
B. Supporting Evidence
King explains that the principles underlie the mechanisms of real life interpersonal communication and such we cannot just ignore them. The four principles are basic to communication (King, 2000).
C. Explanation
We cannot escape from communicating. Communicating is not restricted to verbal communication, we communicate significantly through our body language. It is also important to keep in mind that once you have communicated, either verbally or non- verbally, it is irreversible. Different words have different meanings by different people in different circumstances, further illustrating the complicated nature of interpersonal communication. Communication also does not happen in isolation according to the contextual principle. The contexts referred to, in this case, are psychological, relational, situational, environmental, and cultural.
D. Why Does This Matter?
It is important to have knowledge of these principles since all barriers to interpersonal communication relate to one of the principles. With the know-how, you can easily handle tricky situations as regards interpersonal communication.
2) Analysis of the role of communication in developing and maintaining one’s self- concept, self- image, and self- esteem.
A. Topic Sentence
Self- concept, self- esteem, and self- image affect an individual’s ability to be sensitive to others, their interpretation of messages, their social needs, and their typical communication style.
B. Supporting Evidence
The way we communicate with others is of major importance since we let people know who we are, what our values are, what we believe in, and how we feel. The communication process influences our own behavior and self-concept. It also influences the behavior and self- concept of others too (South Eastern CASA, 2015).
C. Explanation
Becoming other- oriented is the first step in developing quality interpersonal relationships with others especially at the workplace. It is all about being sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others in the workplace.
D. Why Does This Matter?
With everyone feeling good about themselves at the workplace, prod ...
Class 10_IT402 Communication Skills.pptxTanuNijhawan
Verbal and non-verbal communication are discussed. Verbal communication includes oral communication through spoken words and written communication through typed or written words. Non-verbal communication conveys messages without words through body language, appearance, touch, space, and visual methods. Effective communication requires feedback, which should be clear, timely, specific, and informative. Barriers like language differences, perceptions, and attitudes can interfere with understanding but can be overcome through active listening, simple language, and addressing physical and psychological barriers.

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.

This document discusses interpersonal communication and provides an overview of key concepts. It defines interpersonal communication as the process of exchanging information, feelings, and meaning between two or more people through verbal and non-verbal messages. The document outlines important elements of interpersonal communication like communicators, messages, noise, feedback, context and channels. It also discusses principles of interpersonal communication, importance of skills like listening, and tips to improve interpersonal skills.
Here are some key challenges in communication:
- Language barriers. Communicating across languages and cultures can lead to misunderstandings if
translating words directly without considering cultural context. Nuances may be lost.
- Assumptions. Making assumptions about what is meant without clarifying can derail effective
communication. People interpret things differently based on their background and perspective.
- Listening skills. Active listening is challenging but important for true understanding. It's easy to
think about responding instead of focusing on comprehending the other perspective.
- Nonverbal communication. Facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and other nonverbal
cues can contradict or enhance verbal messages but are open to various interpretations.

Case Study - Option 3: Barbara
Barbara is a 22 year old woman who has recently graduated from college with a psychology degree. She is currently working as a waitress at a popular restaurant near campus, and says she has always planned to attend law school. Barbara was born in a New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother is an African American who is an assistant manager at a grocery store. Her father is Caucasian and works at a department store. Barbara reports that she was a shy, unattractive child, but that in general her early childhood was "pretty happy." Barbara says that during elementary school, she was constantly harassed by classmates about being of mixed race. Still, she says that she felt very close to her family during this period. She now insists that "I am not black or white, I am me."
Barbara is sexually active and engages in sexual activity with different men at least 1 time a week. Barbara indicates that she does not need protection because she is on the pill. She says she is simply too young to settle down. During her junior year of high school, Barbara had her first serious boyfriend, Morris, who was a high school classmate. She describes the relationship as warm and supportive and they became sexually active during her senior year of high school. They broke up soon after the first sexual interaction. In college, Barbara has dated and she acknowledges some bisexual experimentation. Barbara says that she prefers heterosexual relationships, however.
Although Barbara appears to be a natural athlete, she leads a relatively sedentary lifestyle. She does not exercise regularly and indicates that it is just not enjoyable.
Barbara does not like her job at the restaurant, but seems unwilling to look for other employment. She says that she feels "very jittery" whenever she gets ready for work, and she uses any excuse to take days off. She also refuses to associate with fellow employees, and reports getting very anxious when she was given a surprise birthday party. Recently, she has lost interest in cleaning her house and seldom cooks for herself. She also attends less to her personal grooming.

Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New RealityWhen hackers claiming .docxcowinhelen
Case Study - Cyberterrorism—A New Reality:
When hackers claiming to support the Syrian regime of Bashar Al-Assad attacked and disabled the website of Al Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, in September 2012, the act was another act of hacktivism, purporting to promote a specific political agenda over another. Hacktivism has become a very visible form of expressing dissent. Even though there have been numerous incidents reported by the media, the first case of hacktivism was documented in 1989 when a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow hacker collective named Omega coined the term in 1996. However, hacktivism is not the only form of cyber protest and conflict that has everyone from ICT professionals to governments scrambling for solutions. Individuals, enterprises, and governments alike rely in many instances almost completely on network computing technologies, including cloud computing. The international and ever-evolving nature of the Internet along with inadequate law enforcement and the anonymity the global architecture offers creates opportunities for hackers to attack vulnerable nodes for personal, financial, or political gain.
The Internet is also rapidly becoming the political and advocacy platform of choice, bringing with it both positive and negative consequences. Increasingly sophisticated off-the-shelf technologies and easy access to the Internet are significantly increasing incidents of cyberterrorism, netwars, and cyberwarfare. The following are a few examples.
• According to The Israel Electric Company, Israel is attacked 1,000 times a minute by cyberterrorists targeting the country’s infrastructure—water, electricity, communications, and other services.• The New York Times, quoting military officials, said there was a seventeen-fold increase in cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure between 2009 and 2011.• The 2010 Data Breach Investigations Report has data recording more than 900 instances of computer hacking and other data breaches in the past seven years, resulting in some 900 million compromised records. In 2012, the same study listed 855 breaches, resulting in 174 million compromised records in 2011 alone, up from 4 million in 2010.• Another study of 49 breaches in 2011 reported that the average organizational cost of a data breach (including detection, internal response, notification, post notification cost) was $5.5 million. This number was down from $7.2 million in 2010.14 The Telegraph (London) reported that “India blamed a new ‘cyber-jihad’ by Pakistani militant groups for the exodus of thousands of people from India’s north-eastern minorities from its main southern cities in August after text messages warning them to flee went viral.”
There have been recorded instances of nations allegedly engaging in cyberwarfare. The Center for the Study of Technology and Society has identified five methods by which cyberwarfare can be used as a means of military action. These include defacing or di.

Case Study - Global Mobile Corporation
“Damn it, he's done it again!”
Charlie Newburg had to get up and walk around his office, he was so frustrated. He had been
reviewing the most recent design, parts, and assembly specifications for Global Mobile's latest
smart phone (code named: Nonphixhun) that had been released for production the previous
Thursday. The files had just come back to Charlie's engineering services department with a
caustic note that began, “This one can't be produced, either…” It was the fourth time production
had returned the design.
Newburg, director of engineering for the Global Mobile Corporation, was normally a quiet
person. But the Nonphixhun project was stretching his patience; it was beginning to appear like
several other new products that had hit delays and problems in the transition from design to
production during the eight months Charlie had worked for Global Mobile. These problems were
nothing new at Global Mobile's Asian factory; Charlie's predecessor in the engineering job had
run afoul of them, too, and had finally been fired for protesting too vehemently about the other
departments. But the Nonphixhun phone should have been different. Charlie and the firm's
president, Hannah Hoover, had video-conferenced two months earlier (on July 3, 2006) with the
factory superintendent, Tyson Wang, to smooth the way for the new phone's design. He thought

Case Study #1Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistan.docxcowinhelen
Case Study #1
Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes.
At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down.
Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion. Jennifer insists that she is happy and is not feeling stressed, yet she finds herself making more mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework, and feeling tired and overwhelmed; she has begun to question her effectiveness as an employee, wife, daughter, and potential mother. Her pains seem to be increasing, but her doctor cannot find a physical cause for her discomfort.
Case Study #2
Michael is a 40-year-old airline pilot who has recently begun to experience chest pains. The chest pains began when Michael signed his final divorce papers, ending his 15-year marriage. He fought for joint custody of his two children, ages 12 and 10, but although he wants to be with them more frequently, he only sees them every two weeks. This schedule is, in great part, a result of his employer's announcement that budget constraints would result in layoffs. Michael worries that without his job he will be unable to support his children and lose the new townhouse that he purchased. Michael's chest pains are becoming more frequent and he fears that he may be dying.

Case Study # 2 –Danny’s Unhappy Duty
Employee Profiles
:
Carol Brown, Danny Winthrop, Thomas Fletcher
Carol, the Department Secretary for Purchasing and General Stores, has been
working at St. Louis Memorial Hospital for sixteen years, four of which have
been for the present Manager, Dan Winthrop. Carol likes her Boss, who gives
his employees more leeway than most. Carol’s main interests are her work and
her home—traits also typical of the other people who work in the Department.
Carol feels she is part of a close, cooperative group of employees.
Dan, or Danny, as he likes to be called, arrived at St. Louis Memorial four years
ago as a replacement for a Department manager who had been at the Hospital
for a number of years. Danny’s predecessor, Bill Taylor, was very strict in
everything from insisting that employees take exactly one-half hour for lunch
breaks to not having a coffee pot in the Department. When Danny came on
board as a Department Manager, his management style was much less strict.
The result was that Danny’s employees were much happier, and began to meet
and exceed expectations in getting their work done. St. Louis Memorial’s
previous CEO was a good friend and frequently complimented Danny on his
efficient and effective staff. Now a new CEO, Thomas Fletcher, has been hired
by the Hospital’s Board of Directors. Things are about to change.
Thomas Fletcher, new CEO and a recent graduate from a superior school of
hospital management, has always believed in “doing things by the book”.
Thomas originally had wanted to become a doctor, but decided two years into
the process that it was going to take him too long, and that he would be better
off becoming an administrator. He likes the idea of being an administrator,
and wants to be a good one. He has decided to start out his career at St. Louis
Memorial, of the smaller hospitals in the St. Louis area, but hopes to progress to a
a much larger facility in about four years, once he develops a track record at
St. Louis Memorial.
The Challenge: Communication, Criticism and Discipline, Leadership, Motivation,
Rules and Policies
Danny knows his employees quite well. They are generally a happy, cohesive, and cooperative group. They joke around a lot among themselves, but get the work done more than satisfactorily. All of them seem to give a

Case Study – Multicultural ParadeRead the Case below, and answe.docxcowinhelen
This document provides a case study about a school's multicultural day celebration that resulted in confusion and exclusion. The school encouraged students to participate in a culture parade by wearing clothing representing their ethnic heritage. However, when two students - an African American girl and a white girl - brought everyday clothing, they were not allowed to participate. The teacher was worried others would be confused by their inclusion or that the girls would be ridiculed for misunderstanding the instructions. This highlighted differences between concepts like culture, ethnicity, and nationality.
Case Study THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1BackgroundSome execut.docxcowinhelen
Case Study : THE INVISIBLE SPONSOR1
Background
Some executives prefer to micromanage projects whereas other executives
are fearful of making a decision because, if they were to make the wrong
decision, it could impact their career. In this case study, the president of the company assigned one of the vice presidents to act as the project sponsor on a project designed to build tooling for a client. The sponsor, however, was reluctant to make any decisions.
Assigning the VP
Moreland Company was well-respected as a tooling design-and-build
company. Moreland was project-driven because all of its income came
from projects. Moreland was also reasonably mature in project management.
When the previous VP for engineering retired, Moreland hired an executive from a manufacturing company to replace him. The new VP for engineering, Al Zink, had excellent engineering knowledge about tooling but had worked for companies that were not project-driven. Al had very little knowledge about project management and had never functioned as a project sponsor. Because of Al’s lack of experience as a sponsor, the president decided that Al should “get his feet wet” as quickly as possible and assigned him as the project sponsor on a mediumsized project. The project manager on this project was Fred Cutler. Fred was an engineer with more than twenty years of experience in tooling design and manufacturing. Fred reported directly to Al Zink administratively.
Fred's Dilemma
Fred understood the situation; he would have to train Al Zink on how to
function as a project sponsor. This was a new experience for Fred because subordinates usually do not train senior personnel on how to do their job. Would Al Zink be receptive?
Fred explained the role of the sponsor and how there are certain project documents that require the signatures of both the project manager and the project sponsor. Everything seemed to be going well until Fred informed Al that the project sponsor is the person that the president eventually holds accountable for the success or failure of the project. Fred could tell that Al was
quite upset over this statement.
Al realized that the failure of a project where he was the sponsor could damage his reputation and career. Al was now uncomfortable about having to act as a sponsor but knew that he might eventually be assigned as a sponsor on other projects. Al also knew that this project was somewhat of a high risk. If Al could function as an invisible sponsor, he could avoid making any critical decisions.
In the first meeting between Fred and Al where Al was the sponsor, Al asked Fred for a copy of the schedule for the project. Fred responded: I’m working on the schedule right now. I cannot finish the schedule until you tell me whether you want me to lay out the schedule based upon best time, least cost, or least risk.
Al stated that he would think about it and get back to Fred as soon as possible.
During the middle of the next week, Fred and Al m.
CASE STUDY Experiential training encourages changes in work beha.docxcowinhelen
CASE STUDY: Experiential training encourages changes in work behavior and growth in one’s abilities, which is accomplished through a multitude of methods. Experiential training has proven to be cost-effective while motivating employees as well as improving self-awareness, personal accountability, teamwork skills, and communication skills (Ritchie, 2011). Additionally, the training methods provide trainees with direct experience, the opportunity to reflect on that experience, and share models to help trainees to deduce using both present and past experience, while accommodating learning styles and strengths (Ritchie, 2011). Valkanos and Fragoulis identify several reasons why experiential training provides value:
1. Ongoing advances in technology requiring changes in knowledge, skills, and abilities
2. Divergence between theory and practice
3. Mergers and acquisitions of enterprises which tend to bring new jobs, organizational culture, and work content
4. Constant environment of change, from working conditions to processes and procedures relating to organizational issues, quality, and new products or services, and requiring new competencies, duties, or work content (Valkanos & Fragoulis, 2007, p. 22).

BUS 308 Week 2 Lecture 1
Examining Differences - overview
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. The importance of random sampling.
2. The meaning of statistical significance.
3. The basic approach to determining statistical significance.
4. The meaning of the null and alternate hypothesis statements.
5. The hypothesis testing process.
6. The purpose of the F-test and the T-test.
Overview
Last week we collected clues and evidence to help us answer our case question about
males and females getting equal pay for equal work. As we looked at the clues presented by the
salary and comp-ratio measures of pay, things got a bit confusing with results that did not see to
be consistent. We found, among other things, that the male and female compa-ratios were fairly
close together with the female mean being slightly larger. The salary analysis showed a different
view; here we noticed that the averages were apparently quite different with the males, on
average, earning more. Contradictory findings such as this are not all that uncommon when
examining data in the “real world.”
One issue that we could not fully address last week was how meaningful were the
differences? That is, would a different sample have results that might be completely different, or
can we be fairly sure that the observed differences are real and show up in the population as
well? This issue, often referred to as sampling error, deals with the fact that random samples
taken from a population will generally be a bit different than the actual population parameters,
but will be “close” enough to the actual.

Case Study Crocs: Revolutionizing an Industry’s Supply Chain Model for
Competitive Advantage
If the products sell extremely well, we will
build more in season, and will be back on the
shelves in a few weeks. And we’ll build even
more, and even more, and even more, in that
same season. We’re not going to wait with a
hot new product until next year, when hope-
fully the same trend is alive.
—Ronald Snyder, CEO of Crocs, Inc.1
On May 3, 2007, Crocs, Inc. released its results for the
first quarter of the year. The footwear company,
which had sold its first shoes in 2003, reported reve-
nues of $142 million for the quarter, more than three
times its sales for the first quarter of 2006. Net in-
come, at $0.61 per share was more than 17 percent
of sales, nearly four times higher than the previous
year.2 These results far exceeded market expecta-
tions, which had been for earnings of $0.49 per share
on $114 million of revenue.3 As part of the earnings
release, the company announced a two-for-one stock
split. Immediately after the announcement, the stock
price jumped 15 percent.
The growth and profitability of Crocs, which made
funky, brightly colored shoes using an extremely com-
fortable plastic material, had been astounding. Much
of this growth had been made possible by a highly
flexible supply chain which enabled the company to
build additional product to fulfill new orders quickly
within the selling season, allowing it to respond to un-
expectedly high demand—a capability that was previ-
ously unheard of in the footwear industry. This ability
to fulfill the needs of retailers also made the company
a very popular supplier to shoe sellers.
This success also raised questions about how
the company should grow in the future. Should it
vertically integrate or grow through product line
extension? Should it grow organically or through ac-
quisition? Would potential growth paths exploit
Crocs’ core competencies or defocus them?
CROCS, INC.
In 2002, three friends from Boulder, Colorado went
sailing in the Caribbean. One brought a pair of foam
clog shoes that he had bought from a company in
Canada. The clogs were made from a special mate-
rial that did not slip on wet boat decks, was easy
to wash, prevented odor, and was extremely com-
fortable. The three, Lyndon “Duke” Hanson, Scott
Seamans, and George Boedecker, decided to start a
business selling these Canadian shoes to sailing en-
thusiasts out of a leased warehouse in Florida, as
Hanson said, “so we could work when we went on
sailing trips there.”4 The founders wanted to name
the shoes something that captured the amphibious
nature of the product. Since “Alligator” had already
been taken, they chose to name the shoes “Crocs.”
The shoes were an immediate success, and word
of mouth expanded the customer base to a wide
range of people who spent much of their days stand-
ing, such as doctors and gardeners. In October 2003,

The Veterans Health Administration:
Taking Home Telehealth Services to
Scale Nationally
Andrew Broderick
ABSTRACT: Since the 1990s, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has used infor-
mation and communications technologies to provide high-quality, coordinated, and com-
prehensive primary and specialist care services to its veteran population. Within the VHA,
the Office of Telehealth Services offers veterans a program called Care Coordination/
Home Telehealth (CCHT) to provide routine noninstitutional care and targeted care man-
agement and case management services to veterans with diabetes, congestive heart fail-
ure, hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other conditions. The program uses
remote monitoring devices in veterans’ homes to communicate health status and to cap-
ture and transmit biometric data that are monitored remotely by care coordinators. CCHT
has shown promising results: fewer bed days of care, reduced hospital admissions, and
high rates of patient satisfaction. This issue brief highlights factors critical to the VHA’s
success—like the organization’s leadership, culture, and existing information technology
infrastructure—as well as opportunities and challenges.
OVERVIEW
Since the 1990s, information and communications technologies—including tele-
health—have been at the core of the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s)
successful system-level transformation toward providing continuous, coordinated,
and comprehensive primary and specialist care services. The VHA’s leadership
and culture; underlying health information technology infrastructure; and strong
commitment to standardized work processes, policies, and training have all con-
tributed to the home telehealth program’s success in meeting the chronic care
needs of a population of aging veterans and reducing their use of institutional
care and its associated costs. The home teleheath model also encourages patient
activation, self-management, and helps in the early detection of complications.

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.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Introduction
The topic question is the effectiveness of the interpersonal
communication so as to help in human understanding one
2. another. Without communication of whatsoever kind, it would
be difficult to express ourselves and to be understood by others
since communication is the core basis of a healthy relationship.
Communication entails people from a different background so
as to speak to others in a manner that is clear (Campbell 2017).
One is the parents so that they can be able to address the
children in a well-sorted manner. Another is spouses so as to
have an effective way of expressing feelings, desires, and
sharing of the ideas with one another. Relationships strengthen
through the exchange of feelings, ideas, and expressing one’s
desires which are enabled by effective communication. Another
is public so as to understand ways of understanding ideas and
the blocks that can arise to an efficient transition to the
communication.
The article is looking for the means to examine various
interpersonal skill that is vital during the communication
process. Since communication is essential barriers that block its
effectiveness in the expression of one's feeling will also be
mentioned. An idea cannot be implemented if there are no
proper means of communication. Also, the equation like does
being a good speaker increases one’s self-confidence. The
influence that the culture in the process of one’s communication
skills.
The following are the topic sentences that will address in
the research together with all the possible angles the needs to be
exhausted.
(i) Principles of a constructive interpersonal communication
(ii) Barriers to effective interpersonal communication
(iii) The role of communication in maintaining and enhancing
one’s self-esteem, self-image, and self-concept.
(iv) The impact of gender and culture on the overall
interpersonal communication of an individual.
Principles of a constructive interpersonal communication
To develop an effective mode of communication with another
person the following principles must be observed:
A). Treating each other with respect
3. Respect has to prevail in communication for effective
communication to be attained. By showing respect, an enjoyable
communication is enhanced since all the parties will get eager
to listen to each other’s sentiments (Knapp et al., 2014).
B). Avoiding interrupting each other.
Interruption interferes with one’s listening and hinders an
effective communication. We should learn to listen to talking,
and we should apply turn taking in communication to avoid
unnecessary interruption.
C). Another principle is knowing that we have the right to pass.
This principle shows that as individuals, we have the right to
choose what we want to do. We must understand that trying to
change others or being modified by others in the conservation is
not loving and can feel uncomfortable (Knapp et al., 2014).
D). Volunteering for others is unaccepted. We all have the right
to choose what we want to do and how we want to do it meaning
no one should violate the other’s right to choose.
E). People speak for themselves. This principle helps us to
understand that we cannot speak for others because they can
talk for themselves and this avoids unnecessary resentments.
Barriers to effective interpersonal communication
Effective interpersonal communication may fail due to various
reasons are known as barriers. They include physical barriers
such as hearing problems and speech difficulties. In a situation
whereby one is deaf, and the other is not, communication proves
difficult. Deaf people use signs as a form of communication and
individuals who are not deaf use words. If either of them does
not understand each other’s form of communication, nothing
relevant will be communicated. In cases where there are speech
difficulties, for example, one who is stammering in their
statement, communication will not be effective since the one
stammering will be hard to understand (Beebe et al., 2009).
Language difference is another barrier. There are various
languages in the world, and people are limited to knowing a
few. For instance, when two people, one speaking French and
the other English, the two cannot make an effective
4. communication. It is because the two do not understand each
other’s language. For communication to be effective the
language being used has to be understood by the two.
The lack of interest or irrelevance to the receiver. According to
Beebe et al., (2009), one cannot listen to something he/she is
not interested in because the lack of interest leads to boredom
and eventually the speaker will end up talking to himself. Lack
of interest mainly results from talking about irrelevant things.
For an interpersonal communication to be effective, the topic
should be relevant to the listener.
The use of jargon or unfamiliar technical words is a hindrance
to effective communication. Some people likes to use over-
complicated words that are hard for the listener to comprehend.
Such habits pose as a barrier because the audience will end up
not understanding what he/she is being told since he/she is most
likely to get lost in the larger terms being used by the speaker.
Another barrier is emotional obstacles and taboos. In some
communities, some topics are usually off-limits. Talking to such
a person is hard since the person is most likely to switch off or
avoid listening and talking to simply because the topic is
forbidden. Emotions also affect effective communications in
that they make it difficult for one to express themselves (Beebe
et al., 2009). From the principles and barriers of
communication, we can conclude that a couple can communicate
more efficiently when they follow the principles as guidelines
and look for solutions for the barriers of communication.
The role of communication in maintaining and enhancing one’s
self-esteem, self-image, and self-concept.
To improve one’s self-image takes practice and time. To
develop one’s self-esteem a positive, realistic attitude toward
oneself and the world around needs to be developed. Self-
esteem needs self-respect hence one will have to appreciate
worth and behave responsibly towards others (Roland et al.,
2003). Self-esteem can be built on changing one’s way of
thinking before changing the circumstances. Positive thinking
offers an individual a positive self-concept since it enables one
5. to make a view of themselves as honest hence making them
accept themselves. By taking oneself, a person can remove the
internal barriers that can prevent the individual from doing their
best. On the other hand, building one self’s solid personal
foundation is essential in meeting the current challenges a
person faces. A solid foundation consists of self-love, self-
confidence, and self-knowledge.
What matters in this review is that communication can be used
to develop and maintain one’s self-knowledge, self-love, and
self-respect and self-confidence through understanding
themselves and changing the way of thinking. This matters for
the couple because it helps them understand that their way of
thinking can change the way they feel about hence changing the
manner in which they express themselves to each other. It will
also create more understanding between them.
The impact of culture and gender on the overall Interpersonal
Communications of an individual.
Regarding Cameroon (2007), women are more talkative, and
they tend to use words to make connections. Women express
their feelings and emotions and hence in the process they
connect to those whom they are talking. On the other hand, men
talk less and use words to achieve their desires. Men are not so
keen in expressing how they feel hence the few words which
they only speak when in need something from the ones they are
talking to (Cameron, 2007). Culture define the choice of words
to use and how one talks to others. Some cultures use some
words like sir or madam when addressing people of importance
and others do not. Culture also ponders into how people look at
the opposite gender in conjunction with and how they
communicate with other individuals.
When one grabs an understanding of the different style of
communication that occurs between the culture genders in
interpersonal communications, he or she gets to know reasons
behind people’s choice of words and why they use these words.
The couple can use this impact of culture and gender on
interpersonal communications to help them understand each
6. other’s choice of words hence increasing the understanding
between themselves.
Conclusion
The content reviewed above supports the thesis that effective
communication is a necessity to understanding each other as
humans. The principles of effective communications show how
we should communicate and enhance understanding through
respecting each other, avoiding interruptions, avoiding
volunteering each other and also understanding that people can
speak for themselves. The barriers of effective communication
also show us how we can avoid some issues and improve others
to increase the understanding of each other through effective
interpersonal communications. When these principles are
followed, effective communication is achieved hence enhancing
an understanding among us.
Communication also helps us understand ourselves more
through maintain an individual’s self-respect, self-esteem, and
self-image. The impact of culture and gender interpersonal
communications further proves the point that through, our
gender, how we talk and our choice of words, helps us to
understand more about ourselves based on the cultures we are
from concerning the selection of words we use and how we talk.
It can be concluded that, for understanding to exist among us,
there has to be an effective interpersonal communication. It also
can be completed that an effective interpersonal communication
is one where there is an understanding between two or more
communicating parties. The work supports the research question
and highlights the methods that ought to be used to strengthen.

Writing Your Annotated Bibliography
An annotation starts with the MLA citation for a given source.
The annotations and citations should be ordered alphabetically.
Each annotation needs to provide the following three details:
· A brief summary of the source
· An evaluation for what the source includes and what holes
(weaknesses) it has
· A sentence telling me how you intend to use the source and for
which appeal (pathos, logos, ethos). You need to be sure the
kinds of evidence you use demonstrate a balance of the appeal
across the length of your paper. That is, don’t use all statistics
(logos); instead, balance these facts with anecdotes (pathos) and
personal testimony of experts (ethos). You will find each of
these on the NOVA website if you do good research.
Here is a sample NOVA website citation. It starts with the name
of the page because for the website sources that are not reports,
often there is no listed author. Every page you use from the
NOVA site needs a different citation, but all will list NVCC
(written out) in italics. In your paper, the use of this source will
appear as (“Student Orientation”). Use abbreviated versions of
your citations in the text of your paper:

This source will serve mainly as logos as my counter argument
to argue for a centralized and specialized point of contact for
veterans. All of the programs offered for veterans are great, but
they are in different buildings and different rooms in those
different buildings. Veterans need to go to 4 different offices
just to do the minimum in order to use VA benefits. My
argument is that NOVA should commandeer a large room
(possible one on the third floor of CA?) and put all Veterans
programs in one place. I’ll also argue that Veteran’s special
advisors should be full time veterans supports (currently, some
are only on campus a few days a week and others even teach
classes and support non-veterans).

12. Comparison and Contrast
Japan and Filipino Culture
There are many cultures in the world that tend to be the same or
have unique characters as others seem to be so different with
the other. The world becoming a small place day by day,
cultures are coming together which is making the differences to
disappear as the similarities get shared. This has made the
cultures of the world to appear as they are the same especially
when the cultures are with nations that are close to the
other(Narangoa,2010).This paper looks at the Japan and Pilipino
cultures that most people have struggled to differentiate or note
the differences.
Differences when greeting the others
Japanese have been known to bow when they come into contact
with the elderly more so when they are greeting them. This has
been made unique as the Japanese call each other by use of their
names that come last. On the other hand, when looking at the
Filipinos, the people that are close to the female friends do kiss
or hug one another. The males my hug their fellow males as
well as tap the back of the other or just use a mere handshake.
13. Filipinos are not known to bow when they are greeting someone
else. Instead, they are known to smile as they greet the other.
Another unique characteristic is that the Filipinos use words
like Mrs., Mr., Ms. and the surname when addressing the others
before there is the permission to use any kind of nickname
(Espiritu, 2005).
Similarities in the Greetings
These two cultures acknowledge the usefulness of greeting as
they use gestures. The gestures are like bowing, or even smiling
that express respect and appreciation when communicating with
the other. Another big similarity is that there is respect that is
accorded when different genders are greeting or communicating
with the other(Lister,2009).For instance, the Filipino males and
females do not kiss as that is left to the female friends when
they are greeting the other. Just like the Japanese who bow to
their elderly which is a show of respect meaning that the
cultures accept respect when greeting the other.
Similarities in Diet
These two cultures have developed unique tendencies towards
their dieting. Japanese and the Filipinos prefer having rice for
their times in the day. It is no doubt that these two cultures have
also developed superstitions with regards to the utensils which
they use while eating. Breakfast has also had an impact in the
cultures as it is regarded so vital that it cannot be missed.
Presentation of the food is also made to be unique and appealing
as the cultures believe good food attracts the people (Espiritu,
2005).
Dieting Differences
The Japanese are well known to have dessert come from the
fruits while the Filipinos do with sweets for their dessert. The
Japanese are also as unique as they eat to be 80% full. This s
very differently to the Filipinos as they eat to feel their
stomachs as much as they are able to (Lister, 2009).Use of the
forks and the spoon has long been practiced by the Filipinos
while the use of the chopsticks is done by the Japanese as they
regard it to be most friendly instead of using objects that are
14. sharp. Filipinos have also rallied more on modern foods while
the Japanese have kept to the traditional foods as they believe
these foods have no negative effects (Narangoa, 2010).

15. Use of genetically modified crops over organic crops in farming
Introduction
Genetically modified organisms are substances whose genes get
altered through genetic engineering. The process gets done with
the aid of adding proteins and chemicals into the genes of the
organism. Genetic engineering has been applied in both crop
production and animal rearing and led to several impacts both
good and bad. Different people have divergent views concerning
these GMOs. Organic farmers are advice against the use of
GMOs. Many do not realize that GM seeds have similar
characteristics as seeds of conventional breeding-organic crops.
There are several advantages associated with GMOs in
agriculture. First and foremost is that the crops grown are
modified in such a way that they can easily resist pests meaning
that the output will not be affected, and also the cost of
purchasing pesticides will be foregone. This isn't the case for
the organic foods. Additionally, genetically modified
agricultural products are adamant towards the harsh climatic
conditions. In the event of lack of rain or severe rain, these
crops can give a right out- put.
The out- put off these plants is assured to be large as they fail
to be affected by both pests and adverse climatic conditions.
Food security gets guaranteed at all times. GMO crops and
animals are also well known for requiring fewer farm
implements such as chemicals and time this reduces their cost
of production to the farmers. Farmer’s income is thus improved
day by day and also the country’s per capita income too.
Godfray, H. C. J. (2010).
The authors, researchers used data available for their thesis
showcasing how the world's population grows at an alarming
rate. Ensuring sufficient food supply to this growing population
will mean constant deforestation to create more land space for
16. farming. However, with genetically modified engineering crops
and animals at hand, we are assured of more food production
with less deforestation. Eventually, deforestation gets
decreased, and at the same time, global warming minimized.
Their analysis points out that GMOs is the final solution to the
terrifying food security issue. The authors claim that
dependency on organic produce alone isn’t satisfying for the
growing populations.
Authors do not, however, bring out that genetically modified
foods are not 100% natural compared to the organically
produced ones, there is the need to conduct thorough testing
before the release of such products. There has been a case
where a product has killed people and affects much more
because of not testing it before it gets discharged into the
market. These products are also not safe to eat at all. Scientific
research has proven that some foods containing GMOs are not
safe for some species including human beings causing illness
and eventually death. Both products go through certification
standards in production.
Impact of GMOs in Agriculture
Scientists discovered a new method of enhancing food
production through altering the genetic make- up of the genes
making up these crops through a process known as genetic
engineering. The products of this process are known as
genetically modified organisms. There are advantages and
disadvantages of the particular kind of agricultural
commodities. Jouanin, L., Bonadé-Bottino, M.,(1998).
The study conducted by the researchers was to provide a thesis
of how GMO crops are very resistant to the worst climatic
conditions possible. Additionally, these crops cannot be
attacked by any pest at all. Therefore the product expected is
usually to the maximum. Food security and farmers income are
improved. The amount of food produced is high. According to
the authors, with increased production and decreased the cost of
pesticides the farmer's income is also increased thus his life
standards also increased. As the law of supply and demand
17. stands increased food supply due to the use of genetically
modified crops and animals, it means that the price of food stuff
will decrease. New plants and animals have to get established.
A good example was a baby ship called Dolly that got cloned.
The opposition against genetically modified foods is brought
about by the uncertainties that people have developed towards
it. One is that upon taking these foods, one generates antibiotic
factors within their bodies. These antibiotics make our bodies
less efficient towards medication. To other people upon
adopting these foods, they develop chronic allergic reactions
especially children foods and supplements.
Results of using GMO farming
Genetically modified organisms just like organically produces
have been employed in agriculture in the recent years to boost
crop production. These crops have a unique genetic make-up
that makes them from natural cultivation. Biotechnology has
been applied to alter their cell structure through genetic
engineering. People have had different points of view
concerning GMOs. There are those who believe GMOs is the
final solution to the terrifying food security issue. Genetically
modified crops are supposed to be pest resistance. These plants
get to have a very active resistance to adverse weather
conditions meaning that upon growing them one is assured of a
good yield. Hertel, T. W. (2011).
The author critically analyses how deforestation is minimized
with GMOs in agriculture as opposed to using the organic crops.
This is so because with a small piece of land one can harvest an
enormous produce. Since there is no effect of pests on the crops
and the crops cannot succumb to adverse weather condition
there is an assurance of a high yield, and this guarantees food
security to the world especially in the third world nations. The
author focuses on how the farmer's cost of production gets
reduced, and hence his income by all means possible is
improved. Without genetically modified organisms, more land
gets cleared for farming meaning that there will be more carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere thus global warming enhanced. We
18. should have it in mind that global warming has posed to me one
of the chief challenges facing humanity today. The authors
explain that food has become affordable to many since the
supply of food is high due to the high yields associated with
genetic engineering making the price fall. Additionally is that
with genetic engineering, scientists have been able to discover
new types of plants and crops. An example is a particular kind
of beans that grows naturally. Despite their positive impacts,
these foods once were taken make one develop their antibiotic
makers within the body. Payne, D. J,(2007).
The authors explore that antibiotics are responsible for most
people not being productive to medication. As opposed to
organic produce most children also tend to produce allergic
reactions once they take these foods. The authors explain that
all species of living organisms be it animals, plants or human
beings one is always affected by some of these products. In
comparison to organic foods that are free of intoxicants. They
frequently cause severe illnesses and at times death. The
product should thoroughly test before its release, or else it may
cause deaths to the people.
The natural taste typically lacks in genetically modified crops,
and this is mainly due to the process of genetic engineering that
alters the cell structure of cultivation. Organic foods on the
other hand boast of savory natural flavors. Another possible
danger is where some genes get transferred from one species to
another. Scientists argue that in the event a pesticide-resistant
gene is transferred and mixes up with a weed they may for a
complex pesticide resistant weed that cannot get easily killed.
