Chapters 4,5 6

All,
In these few chapters we've learned many different styles of communication. Some are wonderful and some not so great, and there are ways to deceive someone by sending verbal and non verbal messages.  In this blog I would like to have everyone contribute either a pro-social deception, self-enhancement deception, selfish deception and anti-social deception experience you have had.

Make sure you have submitted your response by July 25th for credit on your test.

Chapter One, Two and Three Discussions

Chapter One, Two and Chapter Three Discussion:

Class, I would like each of you to post a scenario of enculturation that you have experienced. To review, the process of enculturation is the process by which you learn the culture into which you were born.  For example, your grandma is German and migrated here in the 1940's.  When you spend time with her, she cooks German meals, speaks German to other friends of hers, and talks about life back during WWII.

Your comment should only be one paragraph long.

Here is mine:

My 4 grandparents were Polish, and all moved here before WWII.  While they have all passed on, I have learned to play polkas on my violin at a very early age. I went through extensive cooking instruction of how to cook in the Polish culture, and even speak some Polish.  I have extended this onto my daughter and she loves dumplings in chicken soup as well as other cultural food from Poland that I know how to prepare.
