Considering the two people who evaluated me from the assessments those two people thought highly of me more than I did myself. I thought it was surprising for one of the evaluators to consider me as more business like and a straight to the point type of person. I also found it surprising that I was considered as a people orientated person. The environment a person is in influences their ways of communication.

Communicating Differently
- · Do you find yourself communicating differently with people from different groups and cultures?
Yes, I communicate differently with people from
different groups and cultures.
- · If yes, in what ways do you communicate differently?
I communicate differently with different groups and
cultures by my tone of voices, facial expressions, and language. When I am at
work I talk with other teachers differently than talking with a parent. With
teachers I know well and are more comfortable around I would hold a conversation
with them without being professional. Communicating with parents I always smile
and try to always lead off a conversation with something positive. I feel
comfortable around people who are more like me where I joke, laugh and have fun
but when strangers or people different from me come around I seem to become
serious.
- · Three strategies you could use to help you communicate more effectively with the people or groups you have identified.
1. Listen
to what the other person or people are saying
2. Try
to understand what the other person or people are saying
3. Speak
in a clear, toned voice using correct language

Television Show Communication
Television Show: Home Improvement/ without sound
1. What
do you think the characters relationships are based on the ways in which they
are communicating?
When the show start there is a man and woman in the
living room communicating among one another and sense the woman had on a robe
ironing clothes I figured they were husband and wife. There were also three
little boys outside playing football and the way the father was engaging in
playing with them I thought they were his children.
2. What
are they feeling and expressing based on the nonverbal behavior you are
observing?
At the beginning of the show the lady seems like she
is a little upset looking at her husband television show and see her husband
watching other females. The husband seems like he is explaining himself using
hand gestures. The children seem happy and joyful playing with their father.
Although one little boy seem like he is upset about something and his father
talks to him and the little boy begin to smile. The wife seems like she is
unhappy when she goes out to dinner with the husband and she get up and walk
away from the table.
With Sound
1. What
assumptions did you make about the characters and plot based on the ways in
which you interpreted the communication you observed?
I was corrected about the man and woman being
married with three boys. I made the assumption that the wife was upset with the
husband looking at other woman but she actually made a bet and thought it was
kind of funny.
2. Would your assumptions have been more correct
if you had been watching a show you know well?
I believe my assumption would have been more correct
if I was watching a show I knew well because most shows have the same plot just
different circumstances. Most shows that you watch often is based on the same
themes such as, drama, horror, or comedy.

Who demonstrates competent communication?
Someone who demonstrates competent communication
within the early childhood field would be one of my teachers Ms. Flo. I really
enjoy seeing her get into her advocate mode and tell everyone information about
what’s going on in the early childhood field. She also will give you references
or resources so you as an early childhood advocate can see it for yourself and
take action as you feel. I can feel and see the passion she has for young
children and how she really enjoy helping people become effective child care
providers. She has worked in all aspects of the early childhood field from
being a teacher, smart start program, director and now a teacher at a local
community college. She communicates with people on a real, respectful and
truthful way. I can just say, she tells you how it is. I would love to
communicate some of her communication behaviors because I believe she is very
effective and a real advocate for young children and families. She finds out
things to help the parents she teaches to ensure the education and care of their
children. Ms. Flo is a great person, advocate and communicator.
