Personal Making Present Buber Analysis

This distinction is very striking. He explains how the ‘discourses’ that one experiences and acquires over a period of time go on to shape a person’s ‘Discourse’ , which itself may be varied as is seen in most people.

Interpersonal communication is described as two or more people exchanging information through verbal and non-verbal messages. “God gave us the gift of communication so we could get close to others” (Griffin, 1987, p. 10). There are various theories on interpersonal communication two of which will be discussed in this paper, Symbolic Interactionism and Social Penetration. One theory is based on verbal and non-verbal communication and the other is based on how communication can help each of us develop deeper relationships. We practice both theories on a daily basis, whether we realize it or not. This paper will look how each theory is used in our daily lives, how each theory helps us to gain better understanding of our relationships, and how each theory ties into our biblical worldview.

Language, is a way for people to communicate and express their opinions between one another. Yet, another factor is important in engaging with language. This factor is the practice and context of certain words, used to emphasize opinions or generalizations. Through the accounts of Tannen, Sanders, and Hughes, the significance of certain words, and the many interpretations signaled by people of different perspectives, are discussed. The written texts centered around mostly the pragmatic aspect of language, the intentions of spoken or written expression.

To say we are insignificant is not to say we do not have unique qualities, but rather gives perspective to our design. Creation provides a space for human intellectual growth but cannot be mastered by humanity. He continues into the next sub-chapter, how one can “measure” him or herself within Creation. By acceptance of our place in the universe, we are whole.

Reflection: In the following sentence, I am able to expand upon a major topic of discussion for Women’s Rights Activist Florence Kelley. It is difficult at first to identify the purpose behind the rhetorical strategies used by the speaker, but upon further examination it is apparent how Kelley’s diction comprehensively contributes to the integrity of her argument as a

“The fact that we have been communicating all of our lives does not mean that we do it well”. (Sole, 2011).

Everyone’s personal experiences establish their perception of acceptance in their surroundings. All impressions are unique as we decide who, or what, manipulates our world view. In Maestro relationships compose the individual’s definition of belonging. Does Keller’s background and encounters with others, both positive and negative, construct his formation

Conversation is a ritual every person must encounter throughout their lives in order to function properly with one another in today’s society. However, every individual has a “different idea about what’s appropriate” when approaching someone in any sort of conversation; that is why we are referred to as individuals (Tannen 327). There are thousands of diverse languages to speak to one another with, in fact that means there are thousands of different ways to offend each other with our words. Within those languages there are several contrasting gestures that can offend any single person, such as the amount of times individuals apologize in one meeting, giving criticism too harshly, or thanking someone so often it does not seem genuine. In the article “What Do You Mean,” Deborah Tannen touches upon apologies, criticism, and thank yous in further detail to explain where individuals go wrong within conversation and how they can fix their actions. Individuals find it satisfying to please others by being polite because it is the ‘right’ thing to do, however like myself others need to stand up for themselves and get directly to the point now in order to avoid conflict later in life.

Concerning the importance of ethos, Hauser stated, “When assessing the ethos of communicators, the bilaterality principle can alert us to practices that are symptoms of seduction rather than of intellectual, moral, and emotional virtues and thereby help us to make better choices about the world we live in” (163). In this way, Hauser asserts that another critical angle of ethos is that of integrity. Arguers with the proper ethos tend to tell the truth and teach for the listener’s benefit; on the other hand, those without the established authority usually work more to convince audiences to change for the arguer’s own benefit. Why do faithful members of a church listen to counsel from their

In an analogy named the “Unending Conversation Metaphor”, Kenneth Burke, the famous rhetorician and critic suggests that there is no concrete starting point and ending point in a conversation which makes the conversation feel like a foreign language that needs to be approached with an open mind. He supports this widespread claim by first telling the reader that they have come late to the parlor and they must depart whilst the discussion still goes on. This implies that the discussion already began long before you, and it will continue long after you. Then, he asserts that no one in the parlor can retrace how the discussion began and we must listen until we have the tenor of the argument. Finally, he states that when you put in your oar others

‘In a very large and interesting class of cases the social reference takes the form of a somewhat definite imagination of how one's self--that is any idea he appropriates--appears in a particular mind, and the kind of self-feeling one has is determined by the attitude toward this attributed to that other mind. A social self of this sort might be called the reflected or looking glass self: " Each to each a

In acting or with guided imagery, transference in part, is communication between entities. Hagen (1991) emphasized the importance of imagination and application of transferences with the character. An actor increases their ability to be open to other actors because of a sensitivity of transference; creating a meaning in a story. An actor’s training can expose him or her to multiple realities which may enable one to gain greater awareness while in a guided imagery experience.

Martin Buber’s “I and Thou” delivers a philosophy of private dialogue as it describes how personal dialogue can outline the character of reality. The book’s main theme is that life could also be outlined by the manner in which people tend to interact in dialogue with one another, with nature, and with God. According to Buber, a person might have two attitudes: I-Thou or I-It. I-Thou is a subject-to-subject relationship, whereas I-It is a subject-to-object relationship.
