Group 2 Reflections

 Group Reflections

Julian Barriento


  In our recent presentations we discussed and learned more about specific major problems we have had in the world, these problems being racism, education and covid. Group 3 started first with racism and the struggles black people have endured from confederacy. They also mentioned how racism against asians has increased due to the pandemic. Group 3 did a good job in conveying how serious of a matter racism is and how bad it has truley gotten, mentioning the murder of Trayvon Martin and the tragedy of George Floyd. They also talked about the black lives matter movement and why it is so important.

  Group 2 was next, which is my group, and our topic was covid. We talked about how we can prevent getting or spreading covid, keep a stafe distance, wash your hands. Then we taked about how covid has affected countries and how those countries have handled the pandemic. We also mentioned the changes in pay rates due to covid and how it has affected workers during this time. Then we finished with talking about the stimulus checks and how crucial they have been to people struggling finanialy because of covid.

  Group 1 was last, with there topic being about education. Talking about the educational system at this time and how it has affected kids in school. Also discussing how difficult it is teaching online and the big changes that come with it. How teaching online is not nearly as rewarding as face to face interaction in a class room. Group 1 did a great job explaining how different education is now.

  I believe all the presentations were very well done and executed perfectly. I learned so much more about all 3 topics and how they have affected everyone.

 Julian Barriento Group 2  Reflections: 2 of the most important things in life are our communication and culture. Culture is our beliefs and traditions in our family or country, a group of people that share a religon, or that simply share a love for something like perhaps a film. 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...
