I set up a perfect hit, the ball moves so fast to the Earth nobody can reach it, as the it hits the Earth we all cheer and jump for joy for it is us who has the upper hand in this match.

For the past five summers, I’ve worked at a summer camp as a counselor. I met a wide range of people, from underprivileged children to knowledgeable college students. Not only did I teach campers how to make ice cream and friendship bracelets, I made lifelong connections with many of the other counselors. Camp is where I learned what it meant to be part of a supportive community. Although most of us only see each other during summer, it’s an amazing feeling to come back to such a devoted group of people and work together doing what we…
An Overview of Selective Mutism Roxana Fleneury Brenau University Having an anxiety disorder is challenging because in many situations it is hard to prevent or stop it from occurring. One of these disorders is selective mutism. One of the key characteristics of selective mutism is the inability to speak in a social situation or in a place where speaking is expected. As in the case of Jenny from Helping Children with Selective Mutism, she speaks comfortably at home to her parents but when visitors are present she will not speak and at times hides behind her parents. Another key diagnostic feature of individuals with selective mutism is that the disorder is not because the individual does not know the language or they are…
I notice the Deaf people followed facial grammar for every sentence they constructed. They raised or lowered their eyebrows and made a different facial expression for different words. That is something I am currently learning and defiantly need to improve on. I also noticed that Deaf people often move their mouths while signing. The majority of the Deaf people who were demonstrated in the film would move their mouths while signing.…
Communication is a key aspect to our survival on this planet. If we didn’t communicate, we wouldn’t be able to do much in any aspects of our lives. We use verbal communication to actually say what we mean, but we also use nonverbal communication. That is like body language, facial expression, gestures and eye contact. When someone is talking to you, you should make sure you are analyzing all of these and also listening to what they are saying.…
The very attempt to not communicate, makes us communicate. Not merely words, but across tone of voice and across gesture, posture, facial expression, etc., we keep communication with people around us. Also, through these channels, we keep receiving messages from others. Even when we sleep, we communicate. Basic principle of communication in general: people are not mind readers.…
A couple months ago, I was confronted with the project of mastering an ability, whether it be starting from the beginning, or improving. Obviously it would take up a lot of time, so I wanted my ability to be something useful to me that I can use in my everyday life. I have always wanted to become fluent in a language, causing my influence to choose to improve my American Sign Language. At the beginning of this project, I was only a mere beginner at signing, but wanted to expand my knowledge, vocabulary, and general understanding of the language, pushing myself to increase my fluency. Through this process, I faced more challenges in learning this language than I expected to, but accomplished all of my goals, and feel much more confident in my…
Barriers are factors that inhibit communication they prevent or block communication from occurring, it stops effective communication from happening. There are many factors that can effect communication on of these are environmental factors. Environmental factors include things such as; Loud noises because in a health and social care setting if the surroundings are very noisy the service user and provider may not be able to hear each other properly and will end shouting at each other in order to hear one another, Poor lighting is another factor as if a service user is partially deaf then they may lip read but if the lighting is too dim it may be hard for the service user to read the other persons lips the same applies to the lighting being…
“Gestures are all that I have; sometimes they must be grand in nature. And while I occasionally step over the line and into the world of the melodramatic, it is what I must do in order to communicate clearly and effectively.” (Stein). A fictional dog named Enzo, from The Art of Racing in the Rain, exemplifies the meaning of communication. Although this dog can’t actually communicate with others around him he understands that communication can come different aspects.…
When I was a toddler, I used to believe that if I pointed at a toy in my classroom someone would eventually give it to me. However, no matter how hard or how long I gestured and threw my arms toward the toy, I would never have it because I refused to use my words and locked up all my thoughts into my head; clawing against my skull, hoping to ooze out of me. Fortunately, I am not alone in this endless battle of mismatched words, cruel verbs, and negative connotations that crawl out of our mouths and seep into the minds of others. Teenagers, even adults, would struggle almost everyday of their life trying to win the endless battle of miscommunication. But why?…
Communication is a big part of everyday life and one aspect of communication is listening. Listening is a process by which we make sense of what we hear and respond. There are four main listening styles and five stages of the listening process. The listening process involves five stages which are receiving, understanding, evaluating, remembering, and responding. The first and probably most important stage of the listening process is receiving.…
Video Gaming, a Global Phenomenon Technology is a key element in our society and it is here to stay. Preconceived notions have been made about whether or not our pop culture may act as a hindrance in our world. One of the most positive points that can be made by this was through the use of kids playing video games. Children playing video games acquire important skills such as academic success, decision-making and creativity. Video games, although they were fun, weren’t necessarily used for either algebra or English.…
