The Concept Of Communication Style
.... limited. Through the following
research and analysis I have created a table (Table:1) that shows the means for
my friend aquaitance, and myself.
The summaries and findings in which I calculated provided me with
insight of my dominant yet friendly communication style. It also provided me
with a different perspective as to how other people interpret my communication
habits. For example, the mean for myself on the category "relaxed" scored a 1.3.
However, my friends mean was 3.1 and my acquaintance .....

Comparison Between African And American Cultures
.... grow up learning how to become worriers, graze their animals,
hunt for food, etc. The closest thing our society comes to hunting is using
guns, and other powerful weapons mostly just to hunt for fun.
Even though most of the native towns and villages are not very advanced
there are still many big cities that are very much like ours. One of the things
that really shocked me the most was how much the average worker made their. It
was about 200 dollars. I don't think this applied to the city workers. .....

World Cultures: Comparing China And The United States

This does though have problems. People have no incentive to work, no matter
how good a job they do they still get the same pay. In the US we have a
Democratic-Republic which means we elect who we want to run the government for
us. People are free to sell anything for any price they want as long it has
been approved and is not an illegal substance. The US has always been a
Democratic-Republic, that was the reason why the United States was formed.

Correctly Political: A Look Into The Dynamics Of Political Correctness
.... feature of American
society, and dismantling hierarchy as controlled by a white male power structure.
(Hoover and Howard 963)
In a nutshell, political correctness is an attempt at changing the way
we look at things. The goal is to be respectful of all people and cultures.
Unfortunately, in the process of fostering understanding, the culture and ideas
that are presently embraced must be discredited and virtually destroyed. This “
traditionalist” power structure is constantly under fire in the debat .....

that of natives, e.g., they rapidly abandon buses and drive cars to work. In
southern CA, one-third of all bus riders are recent immigrants.
Myers noted that immigration is raising other issues, including
overcrowded housing. The US definition of acceptable housing was two or less
persons per room until 1960, when the definition was change to one or less per

Crime
.... recent years crime has been decreasing.
Property crime, murder, robbery, and burglary have all decreased at least three
percent in recent years but that is not much. There is one exception; rape
which has gone up 3 percent. Violent crime has risen 40.9 since 1983 while in
recent years it has only gone down a tenth of a percent. This may be one of the
reasons people feel less safe. People aren't afraid of larceny or property
crimes. They are afraid of violent crimes, which is why is recent years they

Dating: Bars, Clubs, And Personal Advertisements

What effect does self esteem have in a person's decision on what type of
method to use to find their possible companion? It is shown that people with
lower self-esteems tend to choose personal advertisements, while people with
higher self esteems tend to lean towards the bar scene. Others with a mediocre
self-esteem seem to go towards the clubs scene. According to Josephs, Larrick,
Steele, and Nisbett, (1992, p. 27) .....

Interpersonal Communication
.... communication. In my definition it is vital
that feed-back be given to the person that is doing the communicating. When
feedback is not present then the lines of communication break down and then
there is no communication at all. Even if the message is perceived wrong
interpersonal communication still exists as long as the feedback is given. For
example: when you talk to someone that is hard of hearing and you ask them to do
something and they hear you say something other than what you said there is

Divorce In The United States
.... state, the "migratory divorce" developed:
couples would move temporarily to a state where divorce was easier to obtain
than at home. For example, a couple living in New York State, where until 1967
the only grounds for divorce was adultery, would establish residence in Nevada -
- a procedure that took only 6 weeks -- and file for divorce on grounds of
mental cruelty.
Popular attitudes toward divorce changed as the United States became
more urbanized and less religious. The increasing acceptance of di .....
