Self-Concept Paper Due Monday by 11:59pm Points 15 Submitting a file upload Available Jun 22 at 6am – Jul 6 at 11:59pm 15 days Submit Assignment The purpose of this paper is to identify various components of your self-concept and reflect on how they influence your perception of, and communication with, others. Components of self-concept: Culture, Gender Roles, Sex, Personality Traits, Social Roles, Age, Behaviors/Habits, and Beliefs 1. Think of two words for each of the 8 components listed above. Number them in a list. 2. Write a brief explanation for why you chose each word to describe your self-concept. 3. Provide an example for each from a real-life experience you have had. These can be experiences you’ve had with others, thoughts you’ve had about yourself, etc. 4. Write a brief description of how you think this influences how you communicate with others or your perception of others. Here is an example of what I am looking for: 1. Culture – Californian – I chose this word to describe my self-concept because I was born and raised in Southern California. While I have traveled to other states and countries for brief periods of time, I have never lived anywhere else. I think that people who live here share commonalities. For example, I never thought that Californians had an accent until I spent a summer working at a summer camp in Wisconsin. When I arrived recognized that they all had accepts, but it didn’t occur to me that I had one until someone commented on it. They said I spoke in a “silly” way that made it hard for them to take me seriously. They said it was specific to people from California. This is experience made me more aware of how people make judgements about difference accents people may have. My experience made me feel negatively judged and resulted in me being more aware that accents can create barriers to communication. I try not to make these judgements on others that I communicate with after this experience. 7/6/20, 3:16 PM Page 1 of 1

Directions: The purpose of an informative speech is to teach the audience something; to inform us about something we are not familiar with! Best case scenario, your speech should make the audience say two things: 1) “Wow! That is cool!” and 2) “I did not know that!” You can talk about people, places, things, theories, events, science, technology, art, music, hobbies, etc. But your topic must be specific, and focused. For example, you would not speak about art, or music generally, but rather a specific type of art or music! Be specific and focused. Note: You cannot talk about a problem of any kind. When addressing problems, whether intentional or not, we influence the audience, and that is persuasive; and the persuasive speech is our final presentation for the class. If you present a problem topic for the informative speech, you will lose 10 points. No problem topics for the informative speech. Work to submit here: 1.

MAKE TIME TO READ MILLER’S ORGANIZATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

In this Team Final Presentation, you will be pretending that you and the other members of your team are Communication experts. Your team has been called in to talk to a specific group of people that are having communication problems within their group. In this hypothetical scenario, your team is there to help identify the three specific Communication Barriers that the group is having problems with, and each of you will take one of these barriers, explain what it is and how it affects that specific group of people and what steps they are to take to begin correcting the barrier so that the group can communicate more effectively. Ok, so how do you get started: 1. Your team must decide on who the hypothetical group is that you will be presenting to. Example: The group are nurses and doctors that are having problems with their communication and it is affecting patients. Or teachers and administrators having communication problems, etc. You can create your own hypothetical audience. ***OUR HYPOTHETICAL GROUP IS THE CAFETERIA IN A HOSPITAL THAT ARE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE PATIENTS THEIR TRAYS ON TIME*** Once your team has determined who your audience is, then you will each choose one of the Communication Barriers found in Module 4. You will each choose one barrier, so if you are in a team of three, you will be speaking on three different barriers that your team has determined to be the barriers affecting this specific group of people. ***MY COMMUNICATION BARRIER IS: PROBLEMS WITH STRUCTURE DESIGN, I.E. LACK OF EQUIPMENT OR STAFF IN THE KITCHEN, SOMETHING ALONG THESE LINES. 2. Once you each have your topic, to research, you will need to Google the specific Communication Barrier and how it affects that specific group of people and how to correct the problem. Example, your team has decided that your audience is a group of managers and executives of a business that are having communication problems. So one of your team members chooses “Information Overload” as their Communication Barrier. That speaker would then Google, Information Overload and how it affects managers and executives and how to correct Information Overload in the workplace. By researching very specifically using the specific type of audience your team has created, your research will give you specific information that pertains to that specific group. This is how you will find your sources and information for your specific Communication Barrier. There is an outline format in Module 4 that each of you are required to fill out as an assignment. You will need to do your research before you can complete this outline. THERE MUST BE A TOTAL OF 7 SOURCES. I’VE TYPED MY INPUT TO THE DIRECTIONS IN CAPS. THE OUTLINE FORMAT WILL BE INCLUDED AS AN ATTACHMENT. THE SOURCES NEED TO BE LISTED WHERE YOU SEE SOURCE ON THE OUTLINE SO I KNOW WHERE TO CITE THE SOURCES IN MY SPEECH AS WELL AS WHERE TO LIST THEM IN MY POWERPOINT. DON’T MIND WHERE IT SAYS SLIDE, THAT’S JUST A MARKER OF WHERE I NEED TO CREATE A SLIDE FOR MY PRESENTATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
