Word of mouth

Talking to someone who I knew all my life, my brother Kevin made this interview effortless. As I turned on skype on October 11th, my questions were in one hand and a voice recorder in the other I was prepared, I was ready! Sitting in my comfortable computer chair in a room that contained the essence of lavender scented air freshener, like a wild fire it was spreading with the assistance of the box fan on directly behind me, transforming the room into a cool artic breeze. Once he answered the…

After I watched the video to review my performance, the video revealed that I have improved in keeping eye contact with the consultant, letting the consultant do most…

For as long as one can remember, Philosophers have always tried to answer of what the meaning of life is, or if there is even meaning, but eventually gave up on it because too many factors are implied in answering such a question. In his article, The Meanings of the Questions of Life, John Wisdom challenges the question by presenting some of the factors that might lead some people to think that it is pointless to ask what the meaning of life is before presenting his own opinion that states that…

One of the main communication tools that is slowly disappearing is asking questions. Asking questions is a necessity to communication, without it, our world can be shaped differently. The factors of the decline in asking questions is the fear of what others will think, the lack of a reward system for questions, and the increase…
