2a. The computer based innovation represented by my computational artifact is called Myris. Myris is a biometric security system that scans one’s iris to algorithmically process video images of the user’s eye signing them into secure websites, devices and other personal profiles. The intended purpose of Myris is to eliminate the utilization of standard passwords and to create a secure and foolproof method for accessing personal data. Simply put, “It lets anyone sign into accounts on websites or…

As children we are raised to always have respect for authority figures, no matter what positon they’re in. An example of this would be the way students respect their teachers in the classroom because of the teachers’ expert power (McCroskey, Richmond 1983). In this case expert power is the student’s perception that the teacher is competent and knowledgeable in all areas of study (McCroskey, Richmond 1983). But when you think about it, how much of this urge to respect our teachers comes from what…

As a child of immigrants that grew up in a very negatively charged society, it became clear for me at early years of my existence that adapting my behavior and communication can help to survive discriminations. I acted and talked in different ways depending on the people that surrounded me. However, that was in Russia where people are still afraid to show their true ethnicity or ideas because of the amount of racists that occupy the country. So, how can adapting our behavior and way of talking…

There are many possible ways that my privilege as a counselor can impact my less fortunate or oppressed clients. For one, being a counseling psychologist my salary can range between $56,49-$72,691 a year. Of course that is with a bachelor’s degree or higher, which also plays a factor in my privilege as a counselor. I was privileged enough to go to a university and get an education to put me in the counselor position. The client being jealous can impact my work as a counselor. As I try to do my…

On Sunday night at 8 o’clock, I observed these two girls at the Cup A Joe on Hillsborough Street to determine their nonverbal behaviors. Nonverbal communication is communication without words. More specifically, I am focusing on five nonverbal channels, including body, face, eyes, space, and artifacts to observe the behaviors. While I was observing the girls, it became obvious that they were friends catching up on the latest gossip. Nonetheless, the meeting was casual but relaxed. The two girls…

I have been blessed with an ability to rapidly grow luscious locks of hair, however I can’t keep changing for the rest of my life. I need to find solace in my personality.The human race lives doomed…

This includes body language and facial expression. Social media omits both of these important skills. Making people insensitively ignorant because they do not have the skill to communicate verbally. For example, I saw this mom in a park kept on attempting to talk to her daughter about…

For my fieldwork project, I visited a local park to observe the people there and how they communicated. At the park, there was a large, grassy field, a playground, and a few picnic tables. During my time at the park, I made many detailed notes on what kinds of non-verbal communication took place. It was a nice, breezy day, and many families were having picnics. This was the perfect opportunity to watch some interesting interactions, so I sat on a bench and observed. One family was having a…
