That 's the phrase most commonly used by places to greet you for coming in to their business. As a consumer or customer, you will feel welcomed if the person genuinely smiles at you, however if the person looks more serious you will most likely get the vibe that you are better of going directly to what you need and leave. This kind of facial expressions and tone of voice are examples of non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is communication without words which involves your body…

Swaraj. In 1911, the capital of British India moved from Calcutta to Delhi. A city came up on what was previously farmland and shrub forest. The glory of New Delhi was a sign of how sure the British were of their rule, if not for thousand years rule but surely last for several centuries at least. The colonies were diverse in nature, with populations were divided along lines of caste,…

very proud and fanatical of the greatness of the British Empire. After countless encounters with Englishmen and the English press, monarchy, and parliament all fervently denying the value of the colonists, the support of an American gentleman could not be kept. Franklin and a large percentage of the Englishmen and women colonists could no longer support their casting as the bastard sons and daughters of England. An ardent promoter of the British Empire…

that our school should add American Sign Language as another foreign language option to choose over Spanish. I believe that we should implement some ASL in the younger children's curriculum, as in an immersion school. The students would keep up their Spanish curriculum in addition to ASL. Once they get into 5th grade, we will allow them the option to continue learning Spanish, or to continue ASL as their only foreign language. The learning of American Sign Language is useful because it develops…

Equally, Robert Buchanan, in his book, was bitterly charging Kipling with violence as he describes him as “the voice of the hooligan”. Max Beerbohm as well, “in his famous parody of Kipling in A…

I am 100% for early childhood children learning ASL. American Sign Language is such a beautiful form of language. I have taken courses at SUNY Broome for ASL, both I and II. I want to do an independent study for ASL, however, I don’t have time. I love the language. It’s simply beautiful. I also have taught children in the daycare centers I have worked at simple signs like please and thank you. They actually came in handy for children who were still having trouble verbalizing their words. Instead…

I am writing to you today to try to show you why we should be teaching American Sign Language in schools. It is a county/school district matter, which means each separate county chooses what languages are taught as classes, but I believe that you (the National Government) should try to push American Sign Language as a foreign language little more.
