Speech 301

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Maia signed in, her eyes redrimmed, dark circles from lack of sleep. Looking at the board she sighed heavily at the pop quiz announcement. She had missed yesterday, didn't want to leave Aziraphale so she stayed in the shop with him the whole day.

Pulling a piece of paper out of her notebook Maia started to write out her answers.

1. Sender: Sends the message, verbally or nonverbally
Message: Can be any number of things that are verbal or nonverbal, threatning or not.
Receiver: The person who gets the message and interprets it.

2. Influence: trying to use an outside or inside force to sawy the conversation or situation in your direction.

Manipulating: Intentially using force to cause the situation to go in your favor.

3. Pavlov's Dogs

4. *left blank*

5. I think that if I don't become a more active communicator then you will communicate your displeasure on that issue through a nonverbal gesture that is my grade.

Turning in the pop quiz Maia laid her head down on her deak and waited for everyone else to finish.

Togusa signed in and scratched the back of his neck.

He turned it in with a blank face, and sat back down.

1. Describe, in detail, the S/M/R paradigm.
The sender sends the message, through either verbal or nonverbal communication. The message can be anything, though the reciever is always the person who gets the message and interprets it.

2. What is the difference between influence and manipulation, in your opinion?
Influence is a power affecting a person, thing, or course of events, especially one that operates without any direct or apparent effort. Meanwhile, manipulation requires thought and plotting, and the desire for personal gain.

3. Cialdini talks about the 'click, whirr' response. Give me one example that doesn't involve turkey chicks.

Cilandi claims that the "evidence suggests that the ever-accelerating pace and informational crush of modern life will make this form of unthinking compliance more and more prevalent in the future." In this view, Ciladini joins such media theorists as Harold Adams Innis, Paul Virilio and Tony Schwartz in their concern that information-overload is major hazard of contemporary living. In effect, we do not have the time and cognitive capacity to process all the messages we are subjected to, so many of these messages reside unattended in our psyches.

4. What do the 95 Theses of the Cluetrain Manifesto pertain to?
A small community on a popular blogging site. Through the Internet, people are discovering and inventing new ways to share relevant knowledge with blinding speed. As a direct result, markets are getting smarter—and getting smarter faster than most companies. These markets are conversations. Their members communicate in language that is natural, open, honest, direct, funny and often shocking. Whether explaining or complaining, joking or serious, the human voice is unmistakably genuine. It can't be faked.

5. What do you think will happen to you in this class if you don't become more active communicators?

No answer; just a large space that has been painted with White-Out.
