    The recent presentations were about the problems that we're facing throughout the world. The topics we were given was about racism, covid, and education. 

    Group 3 talked about racism. They talked about The Harlem Renaissance, also known as the "New Negro Movement", writers and musicians were moving on together to accomplish their need to felling fulfilled and freely through the exposure of their talents in urban centers. Group 3 also talked about the Black Lives Matter movement. They mentioned that it started in 2013 with the murder of Trayvon Martin, and was recently brought up again because of police brutality and the murder of George Floyd. 

    Group 2 talked about covid. We talked about how to prevent the spread of covid, the economic impact of covid, how other countries handled covid, and the consequences of covid. You can help prevent the spread by either staying home or having 6 feet of distance between yourself and anyone who doesn't live in your household. 

    Group 1 talked about education. They said that most children who grew up in the American school system often had the same critique that school didn't properly teach them about certain important subjects and many of them believe that the education system should have a reform to better educate America's youth. They also talked about how some students have struggled with online school due to the covid pandemic. 

    I think all the groups did a great job presenting the topics. I enjoyed and learned a lot of things about the problems that we're facing throughout the world.

Culture is so important because it brings people together, it is a way of life in many ways. Group 1 did a great job in explaining communication and taught me quite a few things about it. They presented the chapter 3 Integral commuication, stating how intergral communication is interaction between people with different cultures and how that could be challenging. The video they showed explained it perfectly and how the kid had different ways of speaking to people with different cultures than him. It showed how people can almost change there culture for other people, like a swtch in the way they live in order to communicate with any other culture. Something I think all of us do from time to time in orde...

Chapter Reflections

           A little while back, groups in my speech class had to create a PowerPoint presentation for three fascinating chapters. The chapters had information on intercultural communication, communicating in groups, group leadership and problem solving. Each group presented their topics wonderfully and effortlessly. I enjoyed seeing how the other groups interpreted the chapter that they were assigned. Moreover, I learned a good amount of information from each group including my own. I would like to share with you my experience as a listener and presenter.             Group one was the first to present in the week. Their chapter was about intercultural communication. The group went through and gave examples of different definitions. For instance, culture was defined as the system of shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and norms that guides what is justified appropriate among a group of people. Things ...

Samira Gonzalez Communication is very important and plays a big role in our lives. Good communication skills are essential and allows all of us to understand information more accurately and quickly. Being able to communicate effectively is a vital life skill. All the groups presentations have given examples and explained their part to make this valid. In group 1, they presented chapter 3 which talks about intercultural communication. In their presentation they talk about how culture is the system of shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and norms that guides what is considered appropriate among an identifiable group of people. They also mention how intercultural communication refers to the interactions that occurs between people whose cultures are so different that the communication between them is altered. Intercultural communications offers the ability to deal across cultures. This means having more and more contact with people who are culturally different. Group 1 also mentioned someth...
