Commucations

Patience is something that I think is study by everyone everyday. Going to work stopping at a red light, standing in line for gas on a tired day, trying to pay your Comcast bill all are everyday things that us as individuals goes threw everyday commendation is exercised with a great deal patience to handle each issue. I get frustrated a lot of times if I am in a hurry and someone for whatever reason is holding me behind. I have stop and understand that they have there own world and concerns that they are dealing with as well. I try to communicate a friendlily if I make contact with anyone because my stress is no one else concerns.



Body Language can really make a difference to how a person perceives you. Imagine saying say yes but nodding your head no or tell someone I love you but have a stern mean look on your face the gesture wouldn't be interpreted the same. Usually whats on my mind bleeds threw with my actions. I have learn not to let me thoughts be seen because you never know the outcome of the situation at hand.


Imagine if know one helped the president with the delivery of a speech. Or your favorite athletic was never coached. Perhaps if feed back didn't exist there would be no Michael Jordan's or perfected State of the union address's. Feedback is hard it was something that I had to really get use to. Its hard to hear the things that you are not good at but maturity is hearing what you need to improve and perfecting what once was a weakness.

Communicating with Other Cultures

Before taking my last class on Diversity, I was guilty of a silly microagression.  Have you ever spoken to a person who does not speak English?  Have they ever not understood you?  And if so, what did you do?  I used to scream almost....then after watching a television show, or seeing this on the internet or something, I realized that talking louder does not make the person understand.  You are just speaking louder gibberish.

I changed the way I spoke after I realized how ridiculous I was.  Instead of yelling. I tried speaking slower and letting the person read my lips.  I also use gestures and work hard to make sure that my lips are forming the word correctly.  This has helped my communciation with other cultures 100 fold.
Spell...dont yell. :0

Muted Mutiny

So my daughter watches pretty much everything that Shonda Rhymes puts on television.  She watches a show called Grey's Anatomy, she says for the cute doctor.  Nonetheless, I decided to pull an episode up on on demand.....it was interesting.

I watched it on mute.  I thought that the husband and wife on the show were arguing about perhaps a procedure that had gone wrong in the hospital, or one of them had done something wrong and they were arguing about it.  I could not tell who had done the wrong thing in the hospital but during their fight, it seemed as though the husband was the one in the wrong.  It also seemed like the wife dropped an ultimatum at the end, like she was going to quit the hospital or something. 

I went back and watched the episode.  The couple was arguing, but not for the reason I thought.  They had differing believes on raising children.  One was a believer in God and the other was not.  The child that they were trying to save in the hospital needed an ear transplant that the parents did not want to approve the transplant for.  This lead to an argument about how to raise a child between the two doctors.  The female doctor did drop a bomb....though not that she was quitting or leaving the hospital, but that she was pregnant....DUH DUNH DUUUUUHHHHHH!!!

The communication needed the sound so that I could understand the reasons behind the frustration.  Without that background knowledge, I was making unfair assumptions and judgements for no reason, or at least the wrong reasons.  We do this for the wrong reasons, judge people, effective listening helps us to hear the whole unbiased argument and assess correctly.

Effective Communicator

I think that the president of the United States is an effective communicator.  He is cool under fire, calm under criticism, clear, and certain.  Whether or not we agree with his methods or his message, we all understand it. President Obama is charismatic and understanding in his approach yet unwavering and methodical.  He seems well informed on what ever it is that he is responding to or reacting to.  There are many difficult things that cross his desk and he is able to handle them all in such a  way that the American people are not worried and are willing, for the most part, to stand together as a country and face whatever the issue is.

     In addition, President Obama is abreast of any new communications that arise and is able to communicate on various social media platforms as well as the traditional methods of written and oral.  He also commits in very difficult times such as war, injury a, and distress.    Any person of any age that speaks English should understand our president with no problem.

President Obama and I are around the same age.  I think what is so amazing about him is his charm and cool.  I am no way able to keep my cool when things are in disarray or when there is someone who is around that is disrespectful on purpose,  I am ready and fearless to speak my mind but I do not think that I could keep my be as in control of my emotions as he is.  Evem if I cold manage to keep my emotions at bay, and my voice calm, my eyes or hands would more than likely give up what I am really thinking.
