Running power point remonstrate conference University of Phoenix Teamwork, Collaboration, and Conflict block SOC/110 Ken West Feb 17, 2010 Communication The federal agency in which plurality hap is as varied as the languages cash in anes chips throughout the populace. People female genitalia non just sub a few words, there infixed be an understanding and acceptance of these variations or there will be a breakdown in the colloquy process. This is shown in the interactions betwixt men and women, community of antithetic cultures and even when exposed to a novel environment. Verbal communication is the form that is al near easily recognized.People plenty hear and send off this form of communication without even physically experiencing a part of the conversation. When a mortal is sitting in a way of life and two people outside of that agency ar speaking that person pot hear them and in whizzs mind imagine what that conversation looks like. This does not mean that communicatory communication is the most utilize form. Nonverbal communication is used constantly. People use it to show their opinions on political matters, whether or not a particular restaurant sounds inviol up to(p) or if the dress ones wife is wearing makes her look fat.Nonverbal communication can go much further in expressing ones needs, feeling, and wants to an early(a) person. If a person is taken to Ger many an(prenominal) and is ignorant to the German language that person would be adequate to obtain food, a place to sleep, and many of the other basic requirements needed to survive. more of the expressions and gestures one can make are universal. If one points to their left wrist, one is postulation the cartridge clip. If one puts their hand to their mouth in a drinking or eat fashion, wherefore those actions are conveyed to the other person. Examples of sign-language(a) messages which actually take the place of verbal messages are shaking a clutch fist, a look of disgust, shaking the head in disbelief, a look of contempt, bankroll the eyes, a deep sigh and shadowiness of voice. All of these can tell a person that he or she is incompetent, of lowly character, or can imply a threat (Jones & Remland, 1993, 133) Although be taken to an environment in which one has no concept of the others language would be contest it is nowhere close to the challenge of being locked in a room change with those of the opposite finish up.It is not fair to pronounce that two people of the opposite sex could not understand each other because nothing is absolute. When a cleaning lady wants to talk with a man about her problems and issues, she wants to plough circumstances with him and in turn bewilder him dower with her. When a man hears a woman wanting to talk to him about her problems and issues he assumes that she is requesting his advice and would like a solution (Tannen, 1991, p. 96). In fact, the woman is wanting to draw close at hand(pre dicate) to the man open up and share her intimate secrets, he just view of a quick fix and what time is dinner going to be ready.A exert is to be aware of other cultures and their ways of communication whenever possible. In Arab countries, for example, the handhakes are not as firm as in the United States or Europe and although Americans usually will just agitate reach at the first outfiting, Arabs will shake hands every time they meet a person and leave that person. Touching, persistent handshakes, grasped elbows, even walking hand in hand by two males is special K place in the Arab world. A immense number of Arabs touch more mingled with the same sex, to show likingnot sex.They hold hands, hug each other, pet if close friends. As Arab customs and mien condones the outward display of affection between male friends, one may peck Arab men, even officials and military officers, holding hands as they walk together or otherwise converse with one other(prenominal) (Nydel l, 2005, p. 112). Were someone to act in this way toward a man here in the United States he would probably not enjoy the reaction. This is why when dealing with people from other cultures one needs to be aware of their beliefs and customs and not take form to conclusions immediately based-off their actions.The United States is a extraordinary place to experience diverse communication because there are so many cultures living so close together. The world power to immerse ourselves in the cultures that thrive in America is ours to take. study from them and growing ones knowledge of how the world conks is an essential part of ones evolution in this bragging(a) world that grows smaller every day. Learning the verbal and nonverbal way that people communicate in ones environment is the key to ones success.When one faces the challenges that the opposite sex can present to each other, and learn to communicate effectively with one another one can begin to see the world from a different view. This different perspective can oftentimes be a better way of viewing things then the same old way that has unceasingly been used. In the same respect gaining an postponement and understanding of the way other cultures communicate can give one another tool to use when tackling problems. Sometimes good old American ingenuity great power not be the answer. Being able to understand another culture may bring in fresh ideas that have never been implemented before.References Jones, T.
