301--Interpersonal Communication

So Yesterday we talked about when you as a sender were misinterpreted. Today, same deal...but from the receiver standpoint. Tell me when...and why...as a receiver you took the wrong message.

401--Advanced Comm 5th period (South Humanities room #2)

We're going to begin on visual rhetoric. As visual creatures...most of us anyhow...images are an incredibly powerful tool. Everything from our appearance to to world around us to the media we take in effects us deeply. Our brains are conditioned to make sense of the world in the most expedient way possible.

Right now, I'd like you to use the computers and find me an image that you find to be extremely powerful. You don't have to explain why today. Just..an image. I'd prefer nothing that's going to make me cry or vomit, please.

Over the weekend...I'd like you to find me 5 more that go together in some way. Monday you'll present this image essay to the class and we'll deconstruct them. Ok, go.

'Sheppard, get your bleeping gear and get your ass too...' was pretty normal and no one even got upset by being talked to that way. But if they wanted to be polite, something like, 'We have this opportunity for you to use some of your natural talents, it's not something many people are offered the chance to do, yadda yadda, report here at this time; they really need you to do this.' would have been good sucking up and left no room for misinterpretation."

Shep is really glad that Liz isn't in this class. However, he's not sure where this version of O'Neill fits into his world, so for all Shep knew he may be in the back making little voodoo dolls of him.

"That would have been a much better way to couch an order as a request...but you're right. The first way is par for the course for the military." She furrows her brows for a moment. "You came here from military school?"

"I've been to military school, yes." That's completely true and yet manages ignore the 'came here from' part.
