Online Self-Concept Essay Assignment Read Chapter Two – The Self, Perception, and Communication before writing this essay. This is one of two assessments for this learning module. Learning Module Objectives ? Students will be able to describe intrapersonal messages that enhance or distract communication with self and others (CCO – 8) ? Students will be able to illustrate perception challenges that impact communication with others. (CCO -8) Overview According to our text, self-concept is “a set of relatively stable perceptions that each of us holds about ourselves.” Self-concept is formed through experiences, interaction and feedback we receive from others. Our perceptions of ourselves are developed through our own opinions of how we see ourselves, how we feel and react, and through influences of our culture, teachers, family, friends, strangers, and even the media. In this essay, you will explore the formation of your self-concept and how it influences your communication with others. Read chapter two in the Understanding Human Communication textbook, The Self, Perception and Communication. Pay attention to the following concepts: external influence on self-concept, self-fulfilling prophecy and communication and identity management. While reading these sections, identify personal or real life examples that you can integrate into your essay. Instructions Begin by making a list of the skills, abilities, interests, beliefs and roles that compose your self- concept. From this list, determine three adjectives that most accurately reflect who you think you are most of the time. (examples: self-motivated, energetic, thoughtful, practical, eclectic, eccentric, industrious, independent, etc.). Use this information to compose an introduction for the essay. Make sure to conclude your introduction with a thesis sentence. Use items 2-4 to compose the body of the essay. 2. Explain who or what influenced aspects of your self-concept. Did you pick this up from your parents, a role model, or a celebrity? Did something happen to influence your personality or behaviors? Apply communication theories such as reflected appraisal and/or self-fulfilling prophecy to explain how you perceive yourself (as discussed in chapter 2). You can apply additional references to specific theories of self-concept development in the text, as needed. 8/20/2020 8:22 PM 3.

In Chapter 11, the authors explain how you can transfer the principles and techniques taught in formal mediation training to mediate disputes between other people you know – family, friends, students, and co-workers. You are also asked to apply the principles and skills from the workplace as described in Chapter 12 to conflicts that have or may confront you where you currently work (If you are not employed or a full time student, you might consider writing about an internship, part-time job, an organization you belong to, or job you used to have.) The purpose of this essay is to apply correctly the key concepts, principles, and suggestions from Chapters 11 and 12 to conflicts in your life. Note that this essay should be based on two chapters, equally. In some cases you can integrate the two chapters as you write, but in other cases you may first want to discuss one chapter and then the other. In either case, you must treat both chapters equally. In 300-700 words, write a brief essay in which you apply key concepts and suggestions from Chapter 11 and 12 to your own life situation, past, present, or future. The Objectives and Key Terms at the top of Chapters 11 and 12 identify the key concepts in the chapters. Address the following in your essay: Define and explain two key concepts from each chapter that stood out to you; please include page numbers, cite from the textbook, and end the essay with a reference to the textbook (citations/ references should be in APA style). Include suggestions the authors make for each chapter that would help you better manage conflicts (again include page numbers and references to the textbook) Then explain how you could use the concepts that you identified to better manage a conflict in the past, present, or future (it may be one conflict for both chapters or a separate conflict for each chapter). Your essay must meet the following criteria: Minimum/maximum (300-700 words) limit Identified 2 key concepts per chapter, defined, and explained them (key concepts are printed in bold in the text). Identified at least one suggestion from each chapter. Cited the text (with page numbers) and referenced it at the end of the essay.

For this post, you need to respond to the prompts below. This time, you can choose to do that in either a 400-600 word post typed directly into the discussion – so no attachments like a Word document in written form (points WILL be taken off for not meeting the word count requirement). If choosing the written format, you also need to put the word count at the end of your post (for example “523 words”). Or you can utilize a video clip again if you prefer. If you choose to post a video, be sure to speak to the camera and record your responses by answering the following questions clearly in 2-4 minutes total. Please keep to these parameters as failing to do so WILL impact your grade.  Language and words have a lot of power. Language has the power to build and shape relationships and the power to cause misunderstandings and conflict. Some of this can even happen with the basics of how people come to understand each other. This discussion helps you to see some of the ways that even things that seem simple can be understood in different ways. Are there differences in what a word can mean to different people? Is there a wide range of meanings that people can have of everyday words? What might influence a person’s understanding of a word? How might differences in meaning impact how people communicate with each other? Touch is a form of nonverbal communication that is highly affected by social and cultural rules.  What are some of the rules of touch that you perceive?  How are these rules different for men and women?  Do you feel like these different standards are “fair?”  How are the rules for touch different in other cultures?  How comfortable would you be with the rules in some of these other cultures? 

Each report will focus on a semester-long research project focused on some aspect of intercultural communication. You may write an in depth description/analysis of another culture, compare two cultures, or discuss an aspect of intercultural communication (e.g., differences in non-verbal communication, misunderstandings between cultures). Remember that your paper should not simply compile information but should analyze cultural influences and connections. (Example: A report on wedding customs in another culture would not simply list or describe them. The customs would be explained within the context of culture, beliefs, and values. See also the required elements listed below.) The report will run at least 15 pages (7500 words), excluding title pages and bibliography. The report will follow this general format.1. Introduction (1 – 2 pages) What interests you about this topic? What research questions did you want to answer when you began exploring it? What possible answers did you predict? What procedure did you employ to learn more? Did you perform any first-hand research (interviews, questionnaires, experiments)? How did you go about locating secondary sources? 2. Findings (4 – 5 pages) What did you learn from your primary and secondary research? What new ideas do you want to share with your audience?  3. Discussion ( 5 – 6 pages) Were you surprised by any of your findings? Were your predictions confirmed, refuted, or modified? Which of your research methods proved most (and least) beneficial?  4. Conclusion (1 – 2 pages) What practical applications result from your research? How could these ideas be used in professional or personal communication? Based on what you have learned, what should researchers study next about this topic? Your report must also include the following elements.  1. Insight into your own cultural rules and biases, including awareness of how your experiences have shaped them. Example: A student chooses to compare educational systems between China and the U.S.  The paper would include demonstrated awareness of the reasons that Chinese expectation of high power distance in the classroom would be unlike the informality that feels “right” in our culture. The author would explain his/her own perspective, the reasons he/she has developed it, and how it influences his/her approach to the research data. 2. Understanding of the relationship between the elements of other cultures and their relationships with the history and values of those cultures. Example: The paper would probe the historical and value-driven reasons for observing high power distance in the Chinese classroom. 3. Ability to adopt new perspectives and to empathize with the views of other cultures without necessarily agreeing with them. Example: The author would be able to see ways in which the Chinese approach to education might be effective, especially within its cultural context. 4. Ability to articulate differences in communication (non-verbal as well as verbal) that influence the cultural elements you discuss in your paper. Example: The author would connect aspects of Chinese education with elements of communication (such as a preference for high context communication and elevated levels of formality). 5. Demonstration of curiosity about and respect for cultural differences. Example: In addition to citing objective/statistical evidence for the success or shortcomings of the Chinese educational system, the author would exhibit a willingness to learn more and an appreciation for differences.

I have uploaded pictures of the data we analyzed and the rubric of the paper with the recommended amount of words for each portion of the paper. We were given three passages written by 9 L2 Korean students learning English. A2 was low proficiency, B1 was made proficiency, and B2 was high. we chose to analyze the complex vocabulary words in each passage and classified them as accurate usage versus in accurate usage hence the highlighted words. Green highlight means accurately used, red is inaccurately used, and yellow were just words I couldn’t tell because I couldn’t understand the context. We have to write a paper on how we analyzed the data and our findings.

The audiogram is only one part of the information that should be discussed during the eligibility and IEP process, but it is an important piece. It is also critical that we are able to make connections between information about hearing level, to issues of communication and learning.  As you participate in the IEP process for your students, what are primary issues that you want to communicate about an audiogram to parents and other professionals? What information on this chart could be helpful? What strategies do you have for communicating information about the audiogram to families and professionals?
