Speech Comm

At the front of the classrom she stands, looking well rested and as professional as ever...except that she's wearing a man's button down shirt and a tie...with a denim skirt.

[livejournal.com profile] leeadama and [livejournal.com profile] caroline_todd are the only students enrolled in this class. Today is devoted to a discussion of whether to continue with only 2 students, or if they can transfer into 201.

*When you enter there are two paper cups on your desk. They both have the same amount of a clear, odorless liquid. On the board is written: DO NOT DRINK FROM THE CUPS!!!*

I had this unit planned long before the events of the weekend, and I think it is particularly fitting that it's happening now. This weekend was an excellent bonding experience...you know, like paintball war games but with...*blinks*...moving on.

Ok, trust.

Trust effects the manner and efficiency of communication. But what does that mean? In the traditional sender/message/receiver paradigm, in order for the message to be conveyed clearly there is a level of trust that is required between the sender and receiver. This is why advertisers use *uses air quotes* doctors in ads for pain medication. This is why used car salesmen talk about cutting a deal. A level of trust makes..and this relates to last week...trust helps facilitate influence and persuasion.

Ok, so the trust game. In front of you are two cups. You may ask me 5 questions to decide which one to drink and which one to dump. If you trust me now, you will believe what I say, if you don't, you won't. Either way, Dr. House has been made aware of this game and is standing by.

Fire away.

((ooc:each player ask in a new thread please. It'll help keep the confusion to a minimum...like how the Tick's interviews went. You know.))

And I don't even know if my fellow student has shown up to class since our first class....Lords.... should we just do an independent study? Tell me what 201 is like...

*grins at CJ*

Is it safe to drink at least one of them?

::makes a face as she looks at the two cups. she's not one to trust somebody on a *good* day, let alone a few days after witnessing the whole fundraiser food incedent::

So.. what'll happen to us if...if we pick the wrong one?

"I have trust issues." Sydney said, as she sat down looking at the liquids. She was not drinking either one of these.

Piper peers at the cups. "Are they hot or cold?"

*Lindsey, not being the most trusting of young men, stares at the cups and then at CJ.*

Is either one of them "safe" to drink?

"Do they have any sort of flavor?"

Which one should I drink, the one on my left or the one on my right?

Rory considers the two cups.

"Is one of the two cups unsafe to drink?" she asks, realizing that it hasn't been said that one cup is actually poisoned or anything.

Is one of them going to have negative effects if I drink it?

((OOC: stupid question for you, what course number is Interpersonal Communications? The old mun wrote that in my class schedule, but I don't know the course number.))

Or, you know, I could just listen to what you said when you wrote on the board, "DON'T DRINK FROM THE CUPS" and not drink either of them... nah, that's boring. :)

::frowns:: Fine, is one of 'em dangerous to drink?
