The Unanswered Question

I noticed my client did a better job answering questions pertaining to more recent things.

However, when it came to questions about her past she could not always give me an answer. On other…

communication. From these three categories I was able to find my strengths and weaknesses, specifically from the goals of participating in active listening and getting others involved in discussions in a polite manner, by asking interpretive and evaluative questions about the readings and discovering the underlying thought and ideas, and by allowing groups shared ideas and topics discussed in class to reach a higher understanding and finding different ways of thinking. These ways of…

Furthermore, failing in observing the maxims can lead to five major failures namely…

The world has a habit of defaulting into binary ways of thinking. Binary thinking, or the dichotomization of two concepts, is extremely limiting in that it does not allow room for the possibility of two seemingly opposite points to communicate and work in tandem. Commonly thought of binaries are man vs. woman, old vs. new, and fact vs. fiction. Amitav Ghosh’s The Hungry Tide tackles the rethinking of several binaries, including the theme of past vs. present.

During this conversation he needs to ask some clarifying questions and try to get as much information as possible so that he can handle the situation.

thing that hit me throughout the interview was when I had asked him what were some advantages of being undocumented. His response to this question was simply one word, none. Hearing that was kind of shocking to me and really amazed me by how quick he was to answer the question and ready to move on to the next question.
