How Does Language Affect Communication

The first chapter begins with an introduction to nonverbal communication where a general definition and its enumerated functions, answered the

Communication is the process of understanding and sharing information. It is a 2 way process that involves sending messages (verbally and non-verbally) and receiving them (listening). Effective communication is communication that is clearly and successfully delivered, received and understood, and is key for developing and maintaining positive relationships with others.

This theory was made by Michael Argyle (1925- 2002), who was a social psychologist. In the late 1960s he studied social skills, body language, non-verbal communication and interpersonal behaviour. In this study, he found that non-verbal signals can be much more important and useful than verbal communication when trying to trigger peoples’ attitudes and feelings. His research showed and found that the stronger the relationship between the people communicating so with close friends for example the much better eye contact. However, when the relationship is not very strong so when speaking to a stranger people don’t have very good eye contact and they tend to look away when talking. Argyle thought that a positive attitude and the feelings a close friendship has can be encouraged by the good and effective eye contact. He also found that non-verbal signals are just important and effective as verbal signals or communication.

Non-verbal communication is the use of facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures and posture. A dentist would usually use non-verbal skills by being aware of the tone of voice he/she is using and their own posture. Eye contact is also a way to reassure the patient moreover, it is vital when having communication with the patient. This lets the patient know their options and views are taken into consideration and they are respected. A dentist would usually have their chair upright and would have the patient seated when having a conversation with them. It is vital to greet the patient, this can be from a handshake or to by greeting the patient in a polite tone. This is a professional way to welcome the patient. If the patient doesn’t feel welcome they are likely to act defensive. If a dentist fails to use effective body language this leads the patient to feel nervous and anxious. Body language shows how strong or how weak the self-concept of the dentist is so a dentist is aware at all times how they should represent themselves to patients. A dentist will lower their tone of voice as a way to illustrate the seriousness of the topic that is being discussed. Whilst the dentist is observing the patient, a dentist should look out for body movements such as increasing foot movement, increasing hand movement or any types of actions that demonstrate agitation or nervousness. A dentist will therefore confront the patient and try to put the

In The Crucible, Arthur Miller shows though his text, how a central character can find his or herself in a situation where they are either in physical or psychological danger. In The Crucible John Proctor finds himself in both physical and psychological danger. While Proctor attempts to reveal the truth about Abigail’s lies by calling her lies out and physically forcing Abigail to tell the truth about their affair he also is putting himself in much danger. While attempting to reveal the truth Proctor puts his name on the line, he puts his relationship with his wife on the line, and he puts his physical well being on the line. Proctor’s attempts show how a central character can find his or herself in situation where they can experience great danger.

“A sentinel event is a Patient Safety Event that reaches a patient and results in any of the following death, permanent harm, severe temporary harm and intervention to sustain life” (Joint Commission 2015). Basically a sentinel event happens when the healthcare team or employee causes harm to a patient when it could have been avoided. Sentinel Event Policy was made by the Joint Commission to prevent sentinel events from happening, keep patients safe. The sentinel event that occurred with Lewis Blackman was caused by a medication error.

An argument from the divine hiddenness states; if there were an omniGod there would be no non-culpable disbelief, there is non-culpable disbelief, therefore there is no omniGod. I intend to look at this argument in further detail and attempt to find evidence on whether or not this argument should be accepted by focusing on the first premise and trying to see if it is accurate, whilst also discussing the plausibility of premise two.

People affect other people and their journey through life. Santiago met many people who all affected his journey and his Personal Legend.

Burt’s Bees is a quickly recognizable company with a very positive corporate social responsibility profile. What most people know about Burt’s Bees through its products that you can find at any drug store is that it is made solely, (or for the most part) from raw and organic materials.

The definition and importance of entertainment in human being system are controversy and they are depend on the matter of debate; nevertheless, it is obvious that entertainment is one of the basic psychological needs of human being beside water, food and shelter. Everyone enjoys a breathtaking performance or their favorite TV show after a hustle week or even after a long day at work/ school. It evidently has a close knit relationship with communication but there is one major aspect of entertainment that hardly anyone would notice the obvious communicational factors in it which is choreography and dancing, especially in traditional dances. In fact, when considering from communication perspective, it’s surprising and fascinating how much communication,

Language is powerful! Without language, nobody can communicate at all. Language is an essential and foremost tool to allow individuals to communicate, express feelings or thoughts, and share information or knowledge. More importantly, language is a powerful tool that not only brings people together but also separates them including, various aspects of language diversity, such as dialect, naming, and communication style.

Everytime we communicate with another person or group of people, we have to take into account some factors other than what we are actually saying that can affect how the message is going to be received: body language, tone, intonation, facial expressions, and others; this is what we understand for non-verbal communication. As we saw in class “55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken.”, this showcases the great importance of understanding this topic in order to have a clear communication process, since these can distort the meaning of the message. Although non-verbal expressions are present in every culture, their individual meanings and relevance are going to change from one to another, this is why it is important to not only recognize the overall value of this topic, but to study the different patterns of nonverbal communication from different cultures as well.

Language is an important part of our life. Language and communication cannot separate. People use the language as a means of communication to express their ideas and feelings. They communicate either with each other using language in every social interaction; communicate with others directly or indirectly in the spoken and written form. Therefore, language is an important thing of communication in social life. In the social life, language and society are two things that support each other. It is impossible if there is society without language and there is language without society, because language is a device to communicate one to another (Adam J.H, 1982; 3). There is the study to organize between language and the society that is called sociolinguistics.

Communication is an inevitable aspect of life. It is an event which happens almost every second of every day. Communication is an act of giving and receiving of information—desires, needs, perceptions, knowledge, etc.—of two or more persons through orthodox or unorthodox methods which can either be intentional or unintentional (de Valenzuela 2002). There are numerous types of communication and one is interpersonal communication. Interpersonal communication is one of the communication fields that several studies have focused on. It is a social context that involves interaction between two or more people. “Interpersonal communication is fundamental to managing marriages, friendships, and superior/subordinate relationships” (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
