How Does Emotions Distort The Communication Process?

“I gave my all for you, now my heart's in two.” This line shows how the speaker put their heart on the line and a girl broke his heart. The song explains how the speaker is done with this girl and is moving on and never wants to talk to them again. The theme is important in this song and the speaker gets it across very effectively. The songwriter was also very good at using figurative language. This paints a picture in the reader’s head and makes the song easier to understand. The song S.O.S. by The Jonas Brothers uses good figurative language, has a great theme, and shows how the speaker moved on. Connect the thesis and introduction. Put the paragraphs in order of the thesis.

Lysistrata by Aristophanes is seen to be a comical play used to show the impact of war not only on the ones physically in the war, but the ones mentally involved also. This play was written to help express the feeling the author had about the war occurring during the time the work was written. Lysistrata, the main character, is a strong woman who decides to become as what could be said as being “rebellious”. She does this by refusing to have sexual relations with the men in the city until it was agreed that peace would be declared between the two troops. She calls a meeting with the women in the city and include them in her vindictive ideas to bring the war to an end. This play is sure to bring a smile to the readers face due to the comical events that occur. However, comedy is not the only thing that becomes apparent within the play. Throughout the work of Lysistrata there are three themes that become apparent during this play: peace and harmony, control by gender, and politics.

To me interpersonal communication describes the exchange of verbal and nonverbal messages between two different people. Joseph DeVito states that “interpersonal communication is inevitable, irreversible, and unrepeatable” due to these things effective communication is a necessary skill for us to function in our day to day lives (p. 20). Therefore, I have created a theory for interpersonal communication that goes as follows; To experience effective communication you must understand: your culture, the other person’s culture, and how to listen effectively. By knowing these three things you can consistently avoid misunderstandings and promote understanding in your interpersonal and intercultural relationships.

My topic is to talk about why the combination of adventure and romance genres is necessary to attract adult female readers. I made a mistake in my first draft, since I was trying to analyze four different genres in five pages. Clearly, I did not analyze any one of them well because I just introduced the genre convention without precisely evidence as a back up. In my second draft, another problem appeared. I analyzed two genres separately, which was not helpful to demonstrate my overall thesis. So in my final draft, I analyze three main figures from the perspectives of the romance plot and the adventure plot. I claim that the romance and adventure are inseparable and explain specifically why the combination of these two genres is the key to attract female adult readers using the textual evidences of the three main figures. Another big problem is that, I did not integrate quotations and evidences properly. I used to summarize the plot too much without explaining why these plots can support my claim. For example, in general, I should let my readers have a clear idea to concentrate in the first paragraph. However, in my first draft, I summarized the story in six sentences and weakened the presence of topic sentence. So in my final draft, I summarize The Princess Bride briefly in two sentences, so the reader can concentrate on my topic more. For another example, when

Your thesis statement is no exception to your writing: it needs to be as clear as possible. By being as clear as possible in your thesis statement, you will make sure that your reader understands exactly what you mean.

* If you’re having difficulties writing a thesis, use the thesis generator in the Ashford Writing Center - https://awc.ashford.edu/writing-tools-thesis-generator.html. Remember, a thesis should make a claim – a definitive statement – about some issue. Here is an example: Effective communication is the most important factor in a successful relationship. Without it, chances are, a relationship will fail.

Another error of my writing process was not having a clear and specific thesis statement. I would often combined to many thoughts and ideas all in one sentence, which made it very difficult for readers to understand my main argument. For example, in my fourth essay about performance-enhancing drugs, my thesis “Athletes are constantly recognizable to the public eye; their actions can affect the children and adults for whom they serve as role models, which is why many athletes depend on the use of performance-enhancing drugs to better their performance,” was very vague and was not the main focal point of the essay which it should have been. In recent years prior, I never had any problems trying to convey my message or point. College was entirely a different league. My professor suggested that I read other research papers to better understand how my thesis should sound and be constructed. My professor then told me that I needed to add that explanation into the paragraph so the reader can understand exactly what I am trying to get across with

After the first draft, one of the most important areas that I needed to improve was the analysis and finding better evidences for my point that I have made in my essay. The reason I had to go through struggle finding evidences in my first draft was because my thesis was not clear which made it hard to show my point in it. After the first draft, I was able to find some convenient sources that are related to my topic which helped me to support my point and made me have a better analysis on those points. However, I believe my analysis is somewhat effective as it should be according to the rubric after my final draft has been done, but there are still some places in the essay where I feel like it can still be improved. I tried my best to improve it as best as I can to make it clear to the audience by expanding more on it by giving more detailed about the points that I have made in the essay. However, I definitely learned how making my analysis more specific helped me a lot to make my essay clearer than being vague and general. After reviewing my Rhetorical Analysis, I definitely learned how doing a better research on my topic makes my argument

1. Identify a time in which you and another listener understood a message very differently. What caused the difference? Explain.

I am looking to improve on this challenge as a writer by focusing on explaining my quotes and explanations in a more supportive way that relates back to the thesis. Writing can be improved upon endlessly by minimizing your challenges as a writer.

Every time I try to put a thesis statement together there is always something missing or something that don’t need to be in there. The thesis statement is important to the first paragraph and I can never get one that fits or make sense at anyway. I tried multiple time and different ways but still cannot put one together. Sometimes this thesis statement is delaying me from finishing my essay early. Then other times I just skip it and write about my topic then come back to it because then I will have a thesis statement after I think about it of what I wrote. Even though the writing tutor helped me it was just difficult and I still could not even understand how to put one together and not struggle. Right now I am getting better each day but I still have times when I am

I enjoyed your post for this week. It is hard to believe this is the last week of class yet it is rewarding. I can agree with your take on schizophrenia being a difficult mental disorder. It would be very hard to live with because you don't know any different. The mind tells the person that what they see and hear are really there even though they really are not. Having people not believe you or not understand what is happening would be just as scary and frustrating. Most people who are diagnosed with this tend to become violent because they are fighting themselves and others out of frustration. I like you idea of the treatment/housing facility. I think that would be wonderful.

Communication is one of the most important aspects in romantic relationships and different communication styles can affect relationships differently. Relationships can be both positively and negatively affected depending on the level of communication between the partners.

Communication is one of the most important and valuable skills we have developed as human beings. It is the basis for how we connect with each other globally and shape the people we are today. Without effective communication, we would not be able to build productive relationships, express our cultural values, or most importantly, voice our thoughts. As we grow, we learn and develop our unique form of communication. Whether we are strong public speakers or prefer an interpersonal approach, it is important to find what type of communication is best suited for us, so we can appropriately and effectively use communication to our advantage. There are several different aspects that make us effective communicators, and knowing our strengths and weaknesses in theses categories will give us a comparative advantage on how to properly communicate on an interpersonal level. In this paper, I will discover the type of communicator I am, what I am good at, and what I can work on, to become an excellent interpersonal communicator.

Infants can focus attention on sensory information coming from the environment because of two tangible brain responses. The first is information picked up by the senses which activates neurons in memory regions of the brain. The neurochemicals from the emotional functioning regions of the brain are sent to the memory regions. Neurochemicals enhance focusing and attention-giving which can actually change the memory neurons. Infants can learn when they changes take place; however, attention is necessary for this occur. It is important to note that attention is the first step in learning.
