The powers in strong relationships are the foundation for understanding, realization, and revelation. Relationships are used to overcome and to build onto one’s self. People feel the need to be close to others. This need is followed by the given response of creation. The creation of a piece of art or the creation of a relationship fills the need to have a connection with the composer. The relationship between composer and each viewer is unique to the immediate viewing. The strength from these…

School, Brennan was well versed in governmental studies and without a doubt spent many hours pondering the correct interpretation of the constitution. In Brennan’s “Speech to the Text and Teaching Symposium”, the Associate Justice not only responded to Meese’s argument with his own view but also rebuked the originalist view of the constitution. The truth about strict interpretation is, “in truth it is little more than arrogance cloaked as humility” claims the Justice. According to Brennan, the…

briefly about this idea of being inside vs.outside of certain situations saying “there are mutual instabilities of inner and outer, an innocent ekstasis of language, a propulsion of the…

to me and said, “Zac, you have been running your station perfectly today.” Besides the original intent of this statement, metacommunication conveyed this statement into a couple of interpretations. My first interpretation was that throughout the whole shift, so far I have been working efficiently. My second interpretation of my manager’s statement towards me was that he has liked how I have been running my station so far that night. The other memorable moment of metacommunication to be was after…

Interpretation: a word that can bring forth a swarm of emotions from any person that believes that his or her understanding is the truth. From experience, interpreting any form of work, whether it be literary or art, often causes controversy with conflicting opinions. One person may say that a painting looks like a black rectangle, another may say it represents the doorway to hell. In the history of Christianity, there has been many conflicts and differing opinions about how to interpret the…

Once all plausible options have been presented, the next step would be to analyze each one in detail, weighing pros and cons of each (DECIDE, n.d., para. 3). If I were to go with my first option, and divulge this information to my friends, the negative consequences of my actions would far outweigh the positive. This decision would not only jeopardize my future as an ally to the Deaf community, but also as an interpreter and potentially negatively impact other interpreters in the community. I…

grossly inappropriate, and unprofessional. Not only would this decision lead consumers (I use plural because I include the Deaf woman and those I would inform in the community) to question their trust in me, it could also potentially jeopardize the reputations of other interpreters with whom I work. Tenet 1.2.2 of AVLIC’s Code states “members shall recognize that all work undertaken by them […] will ultimately reflect the integrity of themselves and of the profession.” (“AVLIC,” 2000, p. 2)…

A few weeks ago, I interviewed Mrs. Wendy Darling. As a graduate of Troy University in the Interpreter Training Program, Mrs. Darling has worked in multiple interpreting settings since beginning her career. I focused my interview with Mrs. Wendy Darling on her current setting: Vocational Rehabilitation. In addition to my questions about this setting, I asked her about vicarious trauma. Before coming to Troy, I was unaware of Vocational Rehabilitation as a type of setting for interpreting; my…

Freeman Tilden once said, “Through interpretation, understanding; through understanding, appreciation; through appreciation, protection.” He includes this quote in his book, Interpreting Our Heritage, which turned the world on its head as he introduced six principles of interpretation for organizations and institution whose job it is to educate the general public. Writing in 1957, he understood early on that this field would be evolving and ever-changing. Even now in 2017, these principles stand…
