2. I have always wanted to be able to give back to my community and my country. Getting an opportunity to be a part of Alternative Breaks will hopefully help me be a more active citizen. In addition, I want to be able to see another part of the world and broaden my experience by giving a helping hand. Staying in a different place and helping others will help me see the world from a whole different angle and will broaden my perspective about our world today and changes that are important to be implemented. I also hope to gain new insights and outlooks through new relationships that I will form. I want to be exposed to countless different experiences that may influence the rest of my life, and may influence me to make a positive change outside of just my community.…
When communicating the metaphors inhaling and exhaling are used to explain the receptive and expressive parts of communication (Stewart, 2009). Inhaling and exhaling takes place in both verbal and nonverbal communication. “…communicators are always both talking and listening, sending and receiving, giving off u and taking them in…” (Stewart, 2009, p. 37).

Because no two people are alike, how one perceives and listens to information when communicating not only varies depending on cultural and environmental influences, religion, etc., but how one breaks down the information from start to finish (selection, organizing, inference) can determine what information is/is not important, worldview, etc. These points can be contributing factors to drawing a specific inference.…

If you’re sure a meeting is the solution, circulate a memo several days in advance specifying the time and place, objective issues to be discussed, other participants and preparation expected. Meetings should be held in the morning, if possible when people are more alert, and should last no more than an hour. Six is the optimum number of participants for a good working meeting. Inviting the department (more than 10) increases the emotional undercurrents such as, “ Will my suggestions be taken seriously?” Larger meetings can be productive as brainstorming sessions for ideas, provided participants can speak freely without feeling they will be judged.…
