c) I would avoid something obviously inappropriate like wearing pyjamas to K-Mart or things like that. I would also avoid wearing ill-fitting clothes or clothes that are inappropriate for the environment. I would not wear my jogging sweats to a church function, for example. At the same time, I would not wear my Sunday best simply to go out for some KFC and fries. Wearing wildly inappropriate clothes in any situation would create the impression that I do not care enough about myself or what I am doing to think about what I wear.

Cornelius LaPide appears to be saying that all a person is in his or her heart can be seen in the face and eyes; even those who deceive others about this cannot hide the truth consistently from appearing on their faces. I agree with this. The mouth and eyes are, for me, the most expressive parts of the human physique. I think these two in combination tell the observer precisely what another person feels. In the show "Lie to Me," for example, the premise is that lies can be detected by means of gestures, but mostly by what happens in the face.

Vocalics refers to the "volume, tone, pitch, accent, speaking pace, and silence" (p. 22) a person uses to communicate. Kinesics are "gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact" (p. 23) during communication. Proxemics refers to the "use of space" (p. 23) in communication, which generally means proximity in face-to-face communication. Haptics describes "touch, or by the lack thereof, among people." (p. 24) Chronemics refers to the "timing of our message transmissions to others," (p. 25) which can profoundly impact the quality and meaning of messages. Physical appearance, as the term implies, concerns what a person looks like. This is broadly divided into the categories of "attractive"...
The change, to improve the way one manages conflict, needs to come from a deeper place and that is the most important lesson I take from this chapter. Some of my past conflicts might not have happened had I known about this. Chapter 7 is about managing stress. The authors note that stress is "experienced subjectively as a biochemical reaction within the body" (p. 121) -- the key being that
Chapter 11 holds a lot of interest for me because I seem to like being a mediator sometimes, but other times want nothing to do with other people's problems. For the former times, knowing how to perform this role more effectively appeals to me. The authors describe the mediation process as intake, opening statement, describing the dispute, finding common ground, reaching a final agreement and ending the mediation. The process
Employees become frustrated and develop negative views concerning management. Any animosity that the employee may exhibit could result in workplace violence. If employees are terminated or laid off under such conditions, resentment could lead to violence (Chenier 1998)." stressful work environment can also lead to poor service and customer dissatisfaction (Waner 1995). In severe cases, problems communicating in the workplace can lead to the demise of a business or
Racism in the United States is often seen as the methodical oppression of African-Americans and other people of color and the related ideology of white supremacy and black inferiority. These two aspects of racism have influenced the U.S. society from the early 1600's until the present (Bohmer 1998). It all comes down to everyone being different and people being unable to accept these differences. I have often found myself when
The reader finally gets a simple, direct explanation concerning what the article is about. One wishes the writer had written like this from the start. That wish comes true for the reader in Humphries' article. While this manuscript has a few grammatical problems, it is overall a much better paper in every way. The entire manuscript is well organized and focused on the topic at hand. Although Humphries doesn't use
Communication Skills Attendant upon my transition into the role of Mental Health Staff Nurse, I have devised the following reflective model-to-action plan for the formulation of workable communication skills. Realizing that "…all healthcare professionals require a reasonable level of numeracy for the safe administration of medicines and fluids, budgeting, and the interpretation of statistics," (http://learntech.uwe.ac.uk/numeracy 2011), I determined to include practical strategems for assessing ratios and SI units. Realizing also that contemporary
