Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

- Two popular forms of analysis when attempting to assess if an individual is lying include polygraph tests and voice stress assessments. The two tests are similar in nature when concerning their directive and administration, but are gauged rather differently. For example, according to Ken Alder’s, “The Lie Detectors: The History of an American Obsession,” base questions are given prior to the technical polygraph test, wherein the individual is connected to a machine that will monitor heart rate and pulse in an attempt to assess honesty . In comparison, Harry Hollien and associates, authors of, “Issues in Forensic Voice,” ...

While using the language of the society during the communication in public, a person might find it hard to connect the words in a string that will truly convey the initially intended meaning; at the same time, the very same person might find no obstacles in socializing with close relatives, who belong to a small closed society called «family». For this reason, some people are inevitably forced to have two usually unbalanced identities: one for home and one for the society. As a consequence, one might face the necessity to loosen the family ties and primary identity and develop ...

When people’s emotions change, their body language, voice and facial expression changes, as well. Not a lot of people can pick up the changes in pitch, tone and volume.

It is important to study about language and verbal behavior because it helps understand other people in a better way. Language or verbal behavior is defined as an operant behavior, which is strengthened by other people’s mediation (Skinner, 1957). This can be well explained as a practical relationship existing between the behavior of a person speaking, as well as the conditions in their environment. However, in this relationship, an important question, on how reinforcement between the speaker and the other people occurs arises.
According to research, it is clear that children acquire a number of language skills mainly ...

Application of Leadership Practice Concepts

Application of Leadership Practice Concepts

Introduction

Today’s global business social scientists and business experts alike examine organizational culture influencing institutional, factional, and personal behavior aligned to leadership practices. The growing body of literature available on this timely subject shows one conclusion that Hartnell, Ou, Yi, and Kinicki (2011), and Schein (2004) describe a company culture as a shared set of implicitly accepted assumptions binding each member in thought, perception, and reaction to various work related environments and how this effects production, company goals and development.
The focus of this scholarly investigation as an application of leadership practice concepts through ...

The article written by Detert and Burris (2007) entitled “Leadership Behavior and Employee Voice: Is the Door Really Open?” and published in the Academy of Management Journal explored the relevance and implications of open communication in the work setting. Specifically, the authors examined any potential relationship among the variables which were investigated, such as: (1) two leadership types which were considered change-oriented: transformational leadership and managerial openness; and (2) subordinate improvement-oriented voice . Voice, in the discourse, was explicitly defined as “the discretionary provision of information intended to improve organizational functioning to someone inside an organization with the perceived authority ...

Introduction

Culture and non-verbal communication are a study in contrast considering that in most cases, non-verbal cues vary depending on an individual's culture. The manner at which one ethnic group uses non-verbal cues may have a different meaning in another culture. Thus, in some instances, miscommunication happens. It is therefore of prime importance that people learn the various cultural differences and similarities when in a different country. Such is the case in the movie, Outsourced (2006), when lead character Todd Anderson's team of call center agents was relieved of their job because the company decided to outsource their job to ...

Group think refers to the mode of thinking that individuals engage in when they are deeply involved in a cohesive in-group as the members strive for unanimity override their motivation to realistically appraise other alternative causes of action (Zaremba 172). In groupthink, do people follow the quiet-moral voice or the aggressive-loud voice? Malcolm X, an outspoken civil rights leader in the 1960’s said, “Nobody can give you freedom.you take it” (YouTube, 2008). Obviously, Malcolm x was the aggressive-loud voice of civil rights in the black American community. In contrast, Elijah Muhammad, another black civil rights leader, was characterized ...

Commercial adverts have formed a crucial component of the industry and trade sector. With the new cutthroat competitions for space in the market, the media had been awash with all forms of adverts that promote various products.

Over the course of American history, one particular group has had, arguably, the most unique and challenging struggle since the end of the Civil War – African-Americans. Having come to this country in the holds of slave ships, been asked for hundreds of years to work as property for white men, and only receiving emancipation from slavery as the result of a bloody civil war, African-Americans already had a long road ahead in terms of asserting their place in American society. All manner of significant events and developments have occurred since then to mark their unique struggles – the fallout of ...

Over time, some people stand out from the rest and do something exceptional that others are fond of. They usually come from a background that does not tell the great future waiting ahead. In other words, they are people like everybody else, yet have a star on top of them. They use their potentials, talents and skills and come up with something innovative that answers people’s needs.

William Wordsworth’s famous lyrical ballad “The Solitary Reaper” tells a story from Wordsworth’s wanderings through the Scottish Highlands (Poetryfoundation.org). As Wordsworth and his companions wander the countryside, they come across a young Scottish maiden singing to herself in a field as she cuts the grain that she sowed earlier in the season. Wordsworth seems transfixed by the beauty of her song, and he stops to listen to her sing in the field; although the initial reaction of the speaker is to the beauty of the voice and song of the young woman, the speaker—ostensibly Wordsworth himself, ...

When writing, authors describe their universe, sharing it with their audience through the communication process. In engaging in this complex process of translating their own world in words meant to make others see it through the writer’s eyes, authors usually adhere to a subjective writing. Even when writers proofread their work they might consider that there is nothing that they would add or change to the initial draft, as they comprehend what they wrote specifically because they are the initiator of their own ideas. However, transmitting the meaning of their words or structured writing to the audiences might ...

The evolution of mobile radio communication and the corresponding growth of the internet in terms of the applications that require high speed internet continuously places high demands on high speed data services over mobile cellular networks.

Most of the poems of Phillis Wheatley and Anne Bradstreet address the themes of religion, slavery, gender and race. In my work, I will pay close attention to the themes of gender and race. The theme of gender and race brings out the inequality and unfairness of the society. From the poems of both writers, men consider themselves superior beings and say that women must show respect and remain submissive always. The place of women in the society is undermined, and their roles not clearly defined. On issues of race, the white Englishmen claim to be the masters of ...

To work beyond regular working hours was till the work was done was considered to be normal. Any staff member reluctant to do so was given warning that such behaviour was not welcomed. On the other hand, those doing good job were rewarded. As they expanded further, they appointed ...

Literary Criticism:

Before Matthew 17:1-13, the previous passage (Mathew 16) is about the confession of Peter and the Christ's Church. The passage is about Lord's warning to his disciples to be away from the temptations of Pharisees and Sadducees “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” This was the warning given to the disciples by Jesus. Here Jesus uses the word “Yeast” or “Bread” symbolically. The concepts are associated with the false teaching of Pharisees and Sadducees. 'Pharisees and Sadducees were notorious for their disagreements, especially over the doctrine of the resurrection; Pharisees taught that Sadducees ...

For the past recent years, there has been domination of the Spanish public sphere by intense debates concerning historical memory and the restoration of the past, centered on the years of the Franco dictatorship (1939-1975) and the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and the conversion to democracy during the instantaneous post-Franco period. The early years following the new regime brought a silencing of the past injustices in order to simplify the nonviolent transition to democracy with commentators contending that "political absolution" got to be mistaken for "recorded amnesia" for the sake of national compromise. As an outcome, the stories of ...

Throughout her short story, “Everyday Use,” Walker presents the recurring theme of harmony and conflicts. The story gives an insight into the struggles of the African – American people through the characters of Mrs. Johnson, Dee and Maggie. Arguably, “Everyday Use” delves into the issue of the changes that occur when individuals in rural areas become educated. Much of the events surround the actions of the only educated Johnson. Dee gains a formal education, but when she faces her past, one sees that this formal education brings out her innate, self-centered qualities. Nancy Tuten writes of Mrs. Johnson “awakening to ...

The initial several decades of the Arab press history clearly grew in terms of modernization in terms of content in news. One key reason for such modernization was related to the initial journalists especially from Syria and Lebanon who entered the field of journalism to contribute their intellect without having any concerns of making profits. In fact at that time the profession of journalism was not even considered as profit making source. These pioneer journalists of Lebanon and Syria were forced to move out of their countries of origin to foreign countries like United States due to several restrictions ...

The three perspective voices were used first by the Jewish composers who used different narrative voices to convey their plot to the audience. Since Cornellius Gurlitt was a modern composer, he also used the three perspective voices to write several pieces such as Waltz. The narrative voice establishes a set of consistent features concerning the way through which the story is communicated to the audience. The three perspective voices show the narrator’s position based on the story narrated. Therefore, the author who is one of the characters in the story depicts the first person voice. He or she ...

Media can be a very effective tool in addressing societal issues. Often referred to as the fourth estate, in fact it is a duty for the media to be at the forefront of change- more so, among the voiceless in society usually those afflicted by poverty. Poverty can be defined as a paucity of material possessions or money. However, we need to look at poverty in a broader sense. A minority group be it religious, people living with disabilities, a different race or tribe face poverty but in a different sense. Their small numbers may result in their needs ...
