Scarf

Chinese New Year and even wearing hijab. The speaker had a perfect example of nonverbal communication through emblems using a back scarf. When Dr. Neha Sangwan landed to Saudi wearing a black scarf, she showed her respect to the Saudi’s culture. The prince appreciated the gesture and had a positive view of her even before they engage in a conversation. The simple scarf can show respect even without verbalizing it. However, nonverbal cues can also be misunderstood within culture and more so…

it gave some examples of statements to use and clearly outlined the four step process. As I have said previously I am not a leader at this time, but I have been and hopefully I will have the opportunity to be so again in the future. However, the SCARF model and the NVC (non-violent communication) principals can be applied to many areas of life. Reflecting on my communication as both a leader and in normal life, I can see that I have not been as empathetic as I should, nor have used either of…

Everyday at 11:34, the students race to lunch. They wait in long lines, eat “fake” food, and then have to scarf it all down in 35 minutes. Although they have a decent amount of time, the lunch system could be greatly improved. If the students had more time, more options, and better food, lunchtime would be a much more exciting time of the day. First, students need more time to eat their lunch. I personally believe that 35 minutes is not enough time to eat, especially when you have to wait in a…

asymmetric. There are more cool colors used in this painting then there is warm. I see a couple things that are red and a few that are a light yellow color, but besides that, there are all cool colors being used. The red is in two scarfs and the yellow is in the man’s scarf and the boats in the background. In this painting, they use several different textures and cool colors. The water seems to be very even in the background with not much activity. The boats and building in the background seen…

earthquake…rammed the clouds together—both hands clutching his trident—churned the waves into chaos, whipping all the gales from every quarter” (161). However, he was rescued by another goddess, Ino, because “she pitied Odysseus” (162). He was provided a scarf that would allow him to swim to his destination and was then assisted by an unnamed river god before finally arriving on land. It is here that another juxtaposition occurs. Odysseus arrives and is alone. The only thing around him is the…

Theory X and Theory Y by Douglas McGregor, summarizes a difference between management styles in that Theory X is an authoritarian style which assumes employees are naturally unmotivated, and Theory Y is a participative style and assumes that employees are self-motivated and enjoy working with greater responsibility (Mindtools, n.d.). In my workplace, I am more partial to Theory Y. I think that unless personally observed, managers should not just assume that otherwise mature, responsible adults…

Evidence of this is that on Chapter 1 page 5 it says that the mother whispered to the girl, “Put on your scarf.” “This stupid dress is enough. I’m drowning in sweat,” Sarah said. “It’s the local custom.” The mother said. “But I’m not local am I? If they get offended it’s their problem, not mine.” Sarah said. “Put on your scarf” mother said. “Soooo barbaric.” As you can see this quote explains that Sarah feels that she doesn’t need to respect their culture at all.…

Headscarves and neckwear in the Middle Ages Archaeological findings and sculptures from the 5th century AD suggest Anglo-Saxon women wore scarves tucked into the neck of their under gowns, and pulled over the head for warmth. Excavations of remains from the 8th to the 10th century show headscarves and veils worn by Viking women, with some styles possibly influenced by the Anglo and Celtic hosts of their settlements. Scarves feature widely in fashion from the Middle Ages. Throughout most of…

forget more and more things and people. When we would go and visit she would ask my mom who she was and then my mom would tell her and she would remember. The Christmas before she died she only knitted one scarf and I ended up getting it. Since she was forgetting most things the squares on the scarf were different sizes. You could tell she was proud of it though. Through all the memories and stories I have about her I can tell she was an amazing and happy person that I missed out on. I really…

Suddenly, two strong and muscular arms wrapped me, my back hitting a rock hard chest. I chuckled. These humans thought they could capture me. So naïve. My scarf still covered more than half of my face. The smell of all the blood around me still tested my temptations. I slowly turned in the grip, leaving my supply bag on the counter. Rather than surprising my captor, I was taken aback myself. His pale and oval…
