Authors of the article identify several definition and types of face. For example, there are two types of faces in Chinese culture: morals traits of a person and social image. Also, different authors distinguish negative and positive face; a face of oneself ...

In the study conducted by authors Alex B. Van Zant and Laura J. Kray, they explored on the concept of truthfulness and honesty. In the study, the researchers stated their objective as attempting to limit the incidence by which people lie. They hypothesized that lying and deception can be averted if face-to-face interaction can instigate moral concern as with the other forms of communication. Simplifying this, the authors believed that when interaction is direct and visual, the possibility of deception will be averted. The authors’ further claims that with face-to-face interaction the players in the communication process will feel ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their movements and actions are telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information available to the observer by which he is making his analysis. These channels of the body are what provide the information ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or homelessness, no matter ...

Employees are one of the most valuable resources that any organization has and focuses on enhancing their development.

For my discourse analysis, I have chosen the Lapse for Words Transcript since I found it interesting and I believe I can discuss many things through it. It was an interesting conversation since it does happen almost everyday – people dating and breaking over the phone, which of course, since two people conversing couldn’t see each other (speaker and the listener), would imply different things to each other.
Also, the transcription used several overlap symbols, elapsed time, punctuation for intonation, stress (pitch and volume), aspiration, being unsure of accuracy and nonverbal sounds such as breathing and sighing.

Technology is advancing at an alarming, almost exponential rate; as human progress increases, so does technology, and its effects on our society become somewhat more truncated. Vincent Mosco, in his article “When Old Myths Were New: The Ever-Ending Story,” notes that human society has a tendency to repeat history when it comes to technological advances; with each new stop, we hail our latest invention to be the be-all end-all for communication technology, ignoring that we have done that many times before. According to Mosco, “there is indeed a remarkably willful, historical amnesia about technology, particularly when it turns to communication and ...

The piece in question is on display in Jundt Art Museum at Gonzaga University. The author, A. Lee Ayars titled it All in Itself. Although created by American artist, the sculpture seems to be reminiscent of ancient Greek art because of the colors and some of the shapes present on the piece.
It can be argued that the piece belongs to representational art because if one were to look only at the sculpture’s silhouette, it would have looked like a three-dimensional bust of a snowman. On the other hand, however, the body of this particular snowman consists of ...

Perhaps the most demanding task for any chief information officer (CIO) of a company is gaining the support of their colleagues for new projects within their firms—in the face of competing values. Enns, Mc Farlin and Sweeney (2011) performed focused interviews with Irish CIOs regarding the influence process and the competing values phenomenon. In this article, two propositions were proposed: (1) everything else being equal, influence attempts are less likely to result in commitment to the new initiative when competing values exists between CIOs and the targets of their influence attempts; and (2) the impact of competing values on ...

When an armed attack takes place, eyewitnesses usually focus on the weapon and ignore the appearance of the perpetrator, to the extent that they are unable to remember his or her face accurately afterwards. Many studies have showed that seeing a gun makes eyewitnesses less reliable, because they tend to focus on the weapon, rather than the face or particularities of the criminal. These studies often concluded that this is an automatic response generated by fear or surprise at the unexpected sight of the weapon (Pickel, Ross & Truelove, 2006). In their study, Pickel, Ross & Truelove (2006) investigated the psychological ...

Political cartoons are a common way for many artists to make a social commentary without sparking a national debate.

It’s been over two decades that the agenda of the deregulation was adopted across nations, yet till this day regulation of the telecommunications sector continues to pose challenges. Only a few countries has been able to work out viable models of regulation of this sector while many countries still have public owned telecommunication systems (Grote, 2006). What remains a challenge in bringing about effective competition is the cost and economies of scale of incumbent networks. Hence empirical evidence shows no clear trends of changes in incentives vis-à-vis changes in the regulations on the sector.
