Movie Analysis
The field assignment requires that you go out into the field and observe the different ways people use listening concepts in their daily communication interaction. However, given the current pandemic, it may not safe to observe publicly how individuals show signs of listening components. Therefore, you may analyze a movie of your choice to observe similar encounters of the listening components based on the movie characters. Also, consider if there are differences in cultural groups on listen compared to other groups. Please type at least 2 pages, 12font, double-spaced essay. Worth 20 points. Objective: to learn more about the way people use different styles of listening. Also, to understand how these different listening concepts affect communication within cultural groups/norms. First, observe the way people are listening. Write about some of the concepts that show you that they are listening to one another (e.g. direct eye contact, asking questions, or empathy, paraphrasing etc). Your book lists more concepts. Second, observe any similarities and differences in how people of different cultures use listening styles. Are there any similarities or differences that you can observe among diverse groups? Based on your observation, was one person a stronger listener? Third, write about how did any listening inequalities impact the communication exchange? Also, write some solutions on how the people that you just observe can improve their listening skills or how one can improve their listening skills.
