Keep in mind...

Ok, I have went through your outlines and I have a couple of suggestions...

1. Make sure to include a preview of your speech.

2. Make sure that the language you use is easy to understand by you and the audience. The audience will be able to tell if you are not confident. Paraphrase the article in your own words.

Overall, I am quite impressed. Hopefully after class today, everyone has a more clear idea of how to format this speech. Just concentrate on developing your outlines!!

Persuasive Speech notes 10/28

1. Have an argument: your perspective on the article ie. thesis stmt.

Group Speech outline

It is important to note that I do not have any specific format requirement for this project. My criteria is that everyone participates in the research and the presentation. The idea is that you are working on a hypothetical project and will demonstrate your results to the class.

I expect your findings to be factual and make sense. You may deliver a direct speech in which each member take turns describing their role and findings. You may want to create a different format... I will be looking for creativity in your performance.

You should have the following:

Introduction
Body (parts/ roles/ description of process)
Conclusion

Journal article ALERT!!

Just wanted to let you know that when you are looking for articles, you can use "communication" as a keyword or use a communication database for more exact results. Check out lexus- nexus or academic search premier for the communication database. Librarians should be able to guide you as well.

Final Journal article!!!

Final journal article is due on Thursday, Oct.21. Please have a paragraph summary of the article and why you chose the article!!!

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Communication- Culture (205- 209)

Doing Identity (geographical/ ethnicity)
*Communication creates community and culture
Culture is viewed from the perspective of others (“their culture”)
Ethnocentric bias: our culture is superior to all others

*Cross cultural communication (structurally/ geographically based)
*Intercultural communication (cultural interactions and barriers)

*Transacting Culture (society- coded system of meaning: beliefs, heritage etc...)

What are some features of your culture? What defines your culture? How do you learn that? (205- 209)

*Structure Based Cultural Characteristics (210-217)
Context (high context society- meanings are complex and dependent on many variables:
history, family, relationships etc. / low context society- message itself means everything)
*Collectivism: stresses the group/ Individualistic: individual centered.
*Time (monochronic- straight line, polychronic- simultaneous use of time)
*Conflict (as opportunity- normal, negotiable, confrontational, necessary) (ad destructive- disturbing the peace, members should adapt, ineffective, disciplinary)

What are the characteristics of American society? Mexico? China? England? (210- 217)

*Membership (217- 225)
*Identifying (race, geography, environment) not limited to these!!
*Inherent belonging by location, heritage, rules) co- cultures: cultures within larger cultures
*Imbedded behavior (accent, manners etc.) speech communities: culture varies over time, how do we show our culture
*Culture talk (cultural persuadables: topics that are unnecessary to explain due to common and shared understanding)
*Codes (restricted: taken for granted assumptions, elaborated: language to differentiate meanings and individuality)

What are the factors that show you are a member of your culture? How do these factors differ depending on whether we are in our culture or outside of it? (217- 225)

*Individualistic vs. collectivist cultures (see above)

What does it mean to be from a individualistic culture to you??

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Communication- Groups
*Small group
common purpose
organization, membership, communication
communication varies among groups (formal- casual)

*Types:
formal (task oriented, legislative, restricted membership, Congress- Gov't)
advisory (task specific, best outcome focused, restricted membership, Committees- Boards)
creative (evaluation/ creation, lacking structure, invited membership, Brainstorm- Project)
support (comfort/ advice, sharing, voluntary membership, AA- support groups)
networking (relationship build/ sustain, undefined membership, chatroom- Facebook)

Give specific examples of the small groups you have been a part of. What kind will it be in this class?? (179-181)

*Formation of Groups:
*Forming: initial gathering
*Storming: creative process- goals
*Norming: define purpose, roles, procedures
*Performing: demonstrates goal
*Adjourning: end of interactions



*Orientation: getting to know one another
*Conflict: argument about approaching problem
*Emergence: consensus starts
*Reinforcement: consolidates consensus to finish project

What are your experiences with these formations? Which path would you rather take? Why?? (182)

*Group Features: (185- 197)
*Togetherness (interdependence, division of labor)*(cohesiveness, teamwork)
*Expectations (group norms, group sanctions- punishment, culture)
*Leadership (formal power- designated leader, informal power- liking based)
*task oriented vs. socioemotional leadership

*Decision Making (voting, consensus, straw polls, mandates etc.) (promotive- move toward goal, disruptive- diverts from goal, and counteractive comm- back on track.)

What would seem like the optimal outline of these features for your small group in this class? Why? What would be the most detriminal outline of these features...why?

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

*Communication- Relationships: Talk
emotion
knowledge
ways of understanding the world
ways of connecting symbols (language- meaning)
ways of symbolically connecting to others

Does communication define relationships or do relationships influence communication? (147-149)

*Relationship Provisions:
Belonging and a sense of reliable alliance
Emotional integration and stability
Opportunity for communication about ourselves
Provision for assistance and physical support
Provision for reassurance of our worth and value

What is meant by “provision for assistance and physical support/ worth and value”? (151)


Talk- Relationships:
*Types of talk (distinctions)
Social relationships (replaceable individuals)
Personal relationship (irreplaceable individuals)

*Maintaining relationships – Talk (153-155)
Relational Continuity Constructional units: relationships continue in the absence of the partner
Prospective unit: future sense recognition of absense to happen (goodbye, next time..)
Introspective unit: present sense recognition of absense
Retrospective unit: signals an end of absence (kiss, hug, handshake, hello...)

Hypertext: referencing information, relationship building (155)
Crossing boundaries: changing relationship types (friend- sig. Other) (155-156)
Relating: talking on cell phones (156)

We change relationships by talk and subtle communication... (157)
direct talk: explicit discussion about relationship
indirect talk: ambiguous forms of relationship communication (flirting)

Do you agree that we sustain relationships through talk and subtle communication? What does this mean to you?? (157)

Relationship Stages of Development: (158-159)
Theory: based on individual feelings or attitudes, as emotion deepens- relationship progresses. Intensified feelings (emotions) are translated into behavior and relationship moves on effortlessly. Measured as an increase in intimacy.
They vary in depth, shyness, strength etc...Everyone is different and respond differently to relationships based on several factors: background, personality, culture..

What does the author and Jesse Delia find problematic about this theory? (158-159)

*Relationship Filtering Model: (RFM) (159-161)
We filter people by evaluating their attributes (1.physical appearance, 2.NVC, behavior 3.roles 4. psychological similarity)

Duck mentions that “the relationship grows not from the information that you learn about the other person, but from how you “go beyond it” .
The RFM suggests that our goal is ultimately to understand one another.

Do you agree with the RFM and recognize this pattern in your own interactions? How?






*Serial Construction of Meaning Model: (SCMM) (162-163)

How two individuals come to understand each other through talk.
First: commonality (same experience unbeknownst to each other)
Second: mutuality (discussed same experience)
Third: Equivalence of evaluation (evaluated experience similarly)
Fourth: Sharing (agree on world meaning of experience)

Give an example of this process. (162-163)

*Breakdown of relationships (164- 165)

- intrapsychic process (weighs pros and cons of relationship)
dyadic process (confronting issue with partner)
social process (talking to friend or confidant about relationship)
grave dressing (creating story of relationship ending, highlighting timeline)
resurrection process (preparing for new relationship)

How might dialectics contribute the decline of a relationship? (169)

chapter 5

Chapter 5

*Identity:
history, roles, characteristics
defined by our interactions
multi- layered (private – self concept: core (121) / public)

How does self concept and identity compare ? Do you think these are accurate assessments? How much of your identity depends on the ways others perceive you? (p. 117- 118)


*Jahari Window:
arena: open, blind: known to others, facade: hidden, unknown to all
Self disclosure: revealing info to make it known ( norm of reciprocity, p. 126)

How is the Jahari window dynamic? (p. 123) How does self disclosure operate within the window? (p. 124) What role does the norm of reciprocity play in self disclosure.


*self disclosure- identity= relationship context (dynamic process) (p. 125)
*dialectic tensions:
autonomy vs. connectedness
openness vs. closedness
novelty vs. predictability*

What do these tensions look like in your relationships? Which is more common to what kind of relationship (familial, intimate, friendly)

*Narrative: we tell about ourselves through stories ( memory/ history based)
*epistemology (how I think about the world...), ontology (how I came to be...), individual construction, and relational process (127)
narratives, accounts, social reports
origin- continuity (127-128)
loaded memory (biased) based on coherence and acceptability
labeling: identifying ourselves (Brandy or Mrs. Reincke, Ms. R) (129)
altercasting: language forces identies upon us that we must live up to..(129)

How does the form of narrative here differ from chapter 2? Give an example of an epistemological narrative and/ or an ontological account?? (127)

Relationships influence who we are to ourselves and others...
*Symbolic self: socially based and constructed self that exists primarily for the benefit of others...adapt your definition of yourself to that of societal frames (131)
*Symbolic interaction: how societal forces affect our image of one's self...we derive judgments and observations from our interactions
Attitude reflection: to think about how you appear in the eyes of others (131)
Cultural influence: we develop cultures within our relationships (132)
Performative self: “Doing your identity in front of others and well to “look good”” (135) influenced by social needs, social situation, social frame, and social circumstances.. (136)
front region: professional/ proper, back region: relaxed/ social cues (restaurant ex.) (136)
Predicaments challenge the performative self
Teamwork: working together to maintain social face
Accountable self: identity being morally judged by others
Moral accountability: Society as a whole makes judgments about our actions

Do you agree with the statement: “Much of our identity is constantly constructed by our interactions.” Why or why not??

*Summary selves: (140)

*reflective self: inner self reflected through behavior
*symbolic: self through the interactions we have
*performative: present social situation affect how we enact our identity
*practical: materiality affects identity
*accountable: social context and expectations affect behavior
*improvisational: ideology based behavior (rhetoric)

Which self do you think is the most authentic? Why?

Journal article FYI and test update

For the journal article, you do not necessarily need to pick oe that applies to your major. That was just an idea to ensure you are picking a journal article that you agree with and can successfully persuade others to believe. It does have to be about interpersonal communication, however. You are not limited to concepts in the book, but I would start there!!

The test!! Blackboard and IPFW.edu have been under construction with registration beginning Monday, make sure to keep checking if you are trying to take your test!!!

Thanks and hope you are all enjoying break!!
