Communication
Communication is another field that needs dramatic improvement. We are just beginning to see the power of the computer network and all that it will bring to improve teaching and communications. Already it has increased the ease of teacher-administrator communication, which is essential to keeping teachers happy and informed.
Our progress at Dougherty Middle School has been significant; however, we are still climbing. Thus there remains much work to be done.
Dougherty International Education Middle School (DIEMS) is the first school in the school district to offer a comprehensive International Studies curriculum for middle school students. Under the leadership of Dr. Sally Whatley, superintendent, the Dougherty County School System developed a system plan that allows interested students to follow an international studies curriculum academic track beginning at International Studies Elementary Charter School continuing through Dougherty International Education Middle School and ending with graduation from Dougherty Comprehensive High School.
Traditional academic subjects are a part of the program, but it also emphasizes the interrelatedness of knowledge and skills through a trans-disciplinary program of inquiry. The IB curriculum framework and methodology are planned around carefully selected interdisciplinary thematic units that are relevant and significant to students and that help students develop in-depth understanding of issues and concepts. The
Effective communication is important for any relationship and is a key area for developing relationships with others. It enables us to get a better understanding and to connect with the people around us, and allow us to build respect and trust, resolve differences and solve problems. It is also the ideal environment where our ideas and sharing our care and affection can flourish.
Mireille Guiliano said, “Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted” (n.d.). Effective communication skills in a business environment are vital to success in the workplace. Communication is extended through verbal and nonverbal qualities, both equally as important to becoming a successful communicator. Verbally, one needs to employ proper speaking, listen actively, and communicate efficiently, and nonverbally display appropriate posture, a proper handshake, and controlled facial expressions.
Communication is essential to everyday life. Everyone is performing some form of communication daily whether it be through face to face interaction, online, video conference, non-verbal cues, or writing. According to the National Communication Association, communication is defined as “…how people use messages to generate meanings within and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media. The [communication] discipline promotes the effective and ethical practice of human communication.” The definition of communication has evolved over time with the rise of digital platforms, thus, introducing a new way of communication called “digital communication.” Though this evolution may seem like a recent development, research conducted back in the 1940s has greatly influenced the digital era and communication strategies today.
What if a nurse, failing to communicate effectively, resulted in a patient falling, developing a worsening disease, or die unexpectedly? Nurses have a major responsibility of communicating with a patient effectively on their level of understanding. Health literacy is not widely understood; therefore, part of a nurse’s responsibility is to be able to make the instructions or information presentable in way in which the patient grasps and understands the information (Spotlight). Effective communications consist of many components: listening, nonverbal communication, questions, and the use of facilitators (AAOHN journal).
When evaluating whether to verbally communicate with another there are a lot of factors that play into the start of the conversation. For one, the perceived emotion and attitude that people sometimes gather from you could have a lot to do with the interaction you have with them. The facial illustration of a smile is universally recognized as an indication of a positive experience or emotion that the person is feeling (Miles & Jonston, 2007). Typically, a smile on the face will depict that not only is someone happy, but also willing to be social and serves as a diverse communication function along with expressing emotions (Miles et al., 2007). With the amount of emotion people express on with their face and body is essential to process and understand in order to have progression in the conversation or relationship.
It is obvious how crucial a mutual language is needed within our everyday lives. There are many ways in which language barriers have affected our society by creating conflict with communication in healthcare, leading to less people attending clinics/hospitals, and leading to an increase of people with drug complications.

The famous physicist Albert Einstein said: “The greatest danger in modern technology is not that machines begin to think but that people will begin to think like machines.” It is true that technology has become more and more popular, not only in people’s daily lives, but it influenced the development of counties. The technology used for communication have changed the dynamics of human interaction, and it also has affected the contact with each other in various ways. Has this been a positive or negative development? Even though some people hold the view that too many technological advancements in communication cause people more isolation, there is no doubt that technology has improved contact with others in different ways, such as it widens the scope of knowledge and promote human relationship, the quality of communication and it is beneficial for time-saving as well. According to Li xin and Li-Chiou, web technologies have built up e-commerce, information sharing, business management and delivering services in the past 20 years (Tao, Chen, 2012, p.9-16). Which supports my idea that technology is improving people’s communication and business activities.
Recently, I was asked to write about a time when I failed to effectively communicate. I have failed to do so in many situations when I was younger, but those times are nothing compared to my worst miscommunication ever! In this case, I failed to effectively communicate with my parents. As a result, I was in deep trouble.
Communication is a vital part of everyday living. Two main forms of communication are verbal and nonverbal communication. Have you ever spoke with someone and noticed the words that they are speaking don’t match what their body is saying or have you ever been in a situation where the outcome was not expected due to misleading nonverbal communication? Nonverbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. The ability to read a person’s body language is just as important as the ability to understand the language that is being spoken.
Connecting schools across the country has been of great interest to education leaders. Schools from every
Communication mediums varied depending on the situation. In law enforcement, choosing the right medium source for the message can save lives and protect sensitive information. In contrast, an improper medium distribution may cause confusion, implicate unwanted messages, and compromise public safety. Accordingly, when selecting communication mediums, the audience should be identified before a message is crafted and disseminated. Moreover, having someone with a working knowledge of the spectrum of communication methods and proficient at public speaking can be beneficial for a public safety agency (Patrick, 2017). In communication, choosing the correct method and medium will depend on the types of messaging and whether it is directed at the public, for internal information exchange, or to be communicated with other agencies.
Communication was one of the first things I experienced as a child. My mom always spoke kind words to me, such as intelligent, strong, capable and extraordinary to me each day. I made her smile, a smile brighter than the sun, each time I tried to pronounce the words back to her. Her words caused me feel as though I were the only person that matter in the world to her. The words of my mom made helped me to be a confident person as a young child.
Communication is a complex aspect of human life that upon closer investigation gives one a deeper understanding of what messages individuals are truly attempting to convey. There are four different channels through which signals and cues send messages from sender to receiver and vice versa. Those channels are the following; auditory, visual, tactile, and scent channels. Three of the four channels are non-linguistic channels that demonstrate that a large portion of communication occurs through non-linguistic means. Individuals are consistently using these four channels in everyday interactions with one another. Humans’ minds and bodies have been shaped by natural selection to send a variety of verbal and non-verbal signals. A signal is intentional and has been evolved to produce a certain reaction. Signals are honest because they are linked to one’s genes. Due to the wide reach signals have in one’s everyday life a broad analysis of signals would be ineffective for this analysis. Therefore, this analysis will focus on the role signals play in courtship. One will explore a total of five different sources of empirical evidence in order to gain a deeper understanding of why individuals may have evolved to produce and react to courtship signals. One will attempt to demonstrate that individuals have evolved to produce and react to courtship signals in order to be able to determine a potential mates interest. Though courtship signals may not guarantee that one will achieve a
Communication is vital to the world we live in; it is a crucial part of maintaining relationships with other people as well as being successful in the work environment. Communicating effectively helps us to understand what other people are saying and their own wants and needs as well as getting our thoughts out there too.
