Eric Weiner was ready to go for an adventure. His plan was to search the happiest place to live in the world. His first place to visit was the Netherlands. The chapter begin when the author was in a café near in downtown Rotterdam. The place was really cozy, large and upscale. Because everyone was smoking, he lit up his cigar and ordered a Trapiste beer. While he was drinking this delicious warm beer, he noticed that Dutch is very similar to English spoken backwards. He stayed a long time in the Café as all the Europeans did. While he was walking to his cozy hotel dining room, he noticed a lot of immigrants. He wondered if the difference of culture and if the legalization of alcohol and drugs can create some tension between immigrants and Dutch people. During his dinner, he learned the concept of inter course. At…

Every individual has the right to communicate in their preferred way. It is important for individuals to be able to communicate as it is an essential part of all relationships whether person or profresonal and is needed in everyday living. As a care worker it is my job to be able to communicate with service users to be able to understand and meet all their needs.…
For this reason it is vital to know how people with various backgrounds may interpret these differently. “Where people have the same shared experiences, they interpret things in similar although not identical ways and this makes communication much easier.” (Tassoni et al, 2010 page 10) When considering effective communication, it is useful to keep in mind that other people’s experiences will vary greatly from yours, bearing in mind their upbringing and family background, culture and language. As Tassoni (2010) says one cannot take for granted that a person’s point of view and communication approach will be the same and as effective as somebody…
James Petersen very simply uses “five major divisions” (Petersen 2007, 8) to assist us in learning how to communicate better. A very big focus in doing this is to encourage listening skills in all parties. The first is his concept of “the flat-brain theory of emotions” (Petersen, 10) in which he talks about the emotions associated with the stomach, the heart and the head and how they are to work together to change our behavior. “One simple theory of behavior suggests that we humans move from a state of bother to a state of calm….We get curious(bothered), we jump on the internet…(behavior), we get the info, and we relax (calm).”(15). This is when all three are working correctly and communicating well. Petersen discusses why these do not always work correctly in the world stage. In this same section he discusses communication as two levels. “Level one communication gives and receives information and discusses points of view.”(18). “Level two goes deeper than words. It moves us toward more satisfying relationships.”(19). He also brings up two ideas, “the flat-brain syndrome”(23) and the “flat-brain tango”(33). The flat-brain…

It’s important to think before one acts rather than acting on irrational emotions because it could ultimately lead to a person’s downfall. In “Othello” and “Antigone,” both Othello and Creon are confronted by their tragic flaws of irrational passions—excessive pride and jealousy. While possessing differing tragic flaws, both men ultimately suffer from the results of their decisions after it was too late to recognize their flaw.…
According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, empathy is defined as, the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner. In accordance with empathy, empathetic listening is defined by a way of listening and responding to another person that improves mutual understanding and trust. It is absolutely essential for the listener to receive and accurately interpret the speaker’s message, and then provide an appropriate response. According to Salem (2003), “There are a few key benefits to empathetic listening which include the ability to build trust and respect amongst one another, enabling the person to release their emotions, reduce stress within one another, encourage the surfacing of information that would otherwise be ignored, and last but not least the ability to create a safe environment that is conductive to collaborative problem solving.”…

By knowing who your audience is it is easier to adapt your communication appropriately. Your tone and format will differ depending on who is receiving the communication as will your body language, for example when talking amongst friends, you are likely to talk informally with more relaxed body language whereas when talking to a senior manager you would put more thought into what you were saying and the words you choose as well as standing up straight, smiling etc. The reasons we change the way we communicate to different audiences is to give off the right impression and to get what you want to say across appropriately, effectively and efficiently.…
Learn as much as possible about the biases, education, age, status, style, and personal and professional concerns of your receivers. An audience-centered approach involves understanding and respecting the members of your audience and making every effort to get your message across in a way that is meaningful to them. This ability to relate to the needs of others is a key part of emotional intelligence, which is widely considered to be a vital characteristic of successful managers and leaders. If you’re addressing people you don't know and you’re unable to find out more about them, try to project yourself into their position by using common sense and imagination. The more you know about the people you’re communicating with, the easier it will be to concentrate on their needs, which will make it easier for them to hear your message, understand it, and respond positively. This approach is also known as adopting the “you” attitude, in contrast to messages that are about “me.”…
We are all raised differently and from various eras therefore dealing with people with such differences is quite challenging. For example, there are certain people at work who are reserved and very private; on the opposite end of the spectrum there are those who are blatantly loud and obnoxious. Also, there are those that I refer to as the "middlemen" because there are days when they are detached from the world and never want to be bothered and days where it seems like they've taken multiple shots of espresso and are behaving erratically. Keeping your distance, in my observation, is the best way to avoid such conflicts with either group. This is probably a typical combination within various organizations in our society and I do belong to one but I'm not going to reveal it on this paper (I'll let you…
Richter (2011), Diversity in and of itself is neither a good nor a bad thing. It’s what we do with it that renders its quality. (para. 1). I believe that as a manger you should always be diverse when communicating to your employees. Diversity is showing a great deal of variety; very different. When you are communicating with your employees you must realize that everyone is different. This is why you have to communicate by different aspects to “get through” to each person. Many managers in many organizations are very unaware of the unlikeliness of diversity within their organization.…
