ENG 315 Discussions
1. Please review this video before responding to the discussion
thread:
“Business, Interpersonal, and Group Communication and
Interference” Please respond to the following:
·
Communicating in the workplace provides us with opportunities to
both listen and express ourselves effectively or ineffectively. As the video
titled “A Failure to Communicate” (2 min 28 s) located at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ox5LhIJSBE demonstrates,
it only takes a few seconds to initiate a communication breakdown. From the
e-Activity, discuss the major interferences that can cause workplace miscommunications. Consider topics from your readings this
week, including ethnocentrism, kinesics messages,
and role perceptions.
·
Describe a situation where you personally experienced (or became
aware of) communication interferences that had a negative consequence.
2. Audience, Context, and Email
·
Read the article, “Kill the Email,” (available at the provided
link or in the Instructor Insights section. Compare the author’s take on email
with your own professional/personal experience using email.
·
Make a case for the importance of email in the workplace OR
present an alternative form of communication that could replace email in the
professional environment (be sure to provide reasons to support your claims).
3. “Criteria” Please respond to the following:
Criteria are a critical part of the justification report
assignment. This is an excellent forum to enlist the assistance of your
classmates if you are having difficulty deciding what criteria to choose for
Assignment 2.1.
o For
this thread, you should:
§ Define
the term criteria and examine two (2) ways they function in helping someone
make an important decision. Note: You can use an
example from your own life to help clearly explain your point.
§ Discuss
your potential topic for the justification report (a workplace problem – see
Assignment 2.1 details) then determine which criteria you intend to use to help
make your decision. Be sure to cite two (2) reasons why you chose those
criteria.
