communication 


The Office show has a unique, funny connection with the audience. Its makes the audience feel that they know the plot and are close to the characters. The relationship between the characters makes you feel that you know them personally. Also, it's presenting the quality and valuable connection between the characters and how they feel about their workplace “The Office” as their second home.

 While I’m watching the office’s show in silence, I used my imagination to connect the characters faces’ expression to their feelings, behaviors, and body movement. Also, trying to understand the relationship between them and try to guess what type of relationship it is. So I tried to labels their positions to understand what they are trying to say while they face to the audience; however, even they look like that they are doing their job but their attention and facial expression show that they talk about other things besides their roles. Also, they look like they run after each other’s personal business. Also, it looks to me like they don’t have that good of a connection between each other and I can’t figure out what they are exactly doing exactly at their offices. It seems to me the show does not start yet because the characters’ facing the audience and start talking which confuses me why they face the audience.

After I watch with sound the whole picture changed. I realized what type of relationship they have and how it works. I was able to understand more about the close relationship between these employees and how they feel about work as their second home. I connect now the facial expression with the movement and their behavior while they deliver their own thoughts or some ideas related to work or personal matter. The assumption I made that they run after each other’s business is kind of right based on their conversation and their relationship as well. Furthermore, now I understand why these characters were facing the camera while talking which I got the idea it is a part of the show to face the audience to make the real feeling and understanding to come true between characters and audiences. Finally, it hit my thoughts that assuming, guessing, trying to read others faces, nonverbal, body movement, and facial expression are not enough to come with an idea to judge others or communicate based on that. Listening and communicating are the right way to be able to reach that high level of understanding others and reach own goals as well.

    I've never seen the American version of The Office, but I have seen the original, U.K. version and if the two are anything alike, then dialogue is delivered very deadpan, as is the acting. This would definitely make it a challenge trying to figure out what was going on just by the nonverbal communication alone. This does bring up the challenge we can have if we are communicating with individuals with certain mental illnesses that give them something called flat affect. This is where you show no emotion in your facial movements and body language, and even your vocalization can seem flat. It makes it very difficult to know how a person with this condition truly feels when they are communicating with you. I have dealt with this personally with a couple of my siblings, and it can be very difficult, indeed. You never realize how much you rely on all of the aspects of communication until parts of it are taken away from the conversation.

Meaningful NAEYC Ideals to My profession The Three Ideals in the NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that are meaningful to my profession are. * “To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.” Every child is a treasure. To look, seek, and dig out the quality values that every child has. Every child is capable of blooming in different timing which makes every child unique and special. As a teacher I deal with children based on their potential by nurturing and care with patience and love. Children need time to meet and know their ability and capacity of learning.         ** “To welcome all family members and encourage them to participate in the program.” Family is the key of love. When every family feels the need to be in the program to participate in different activities throughout the year that will lead and gain benefit and enjoy in the program. Every family member is a part of the program and to make it succe...

Access to healthy water Access to healthy water is vital to human life itself; so the impact it has on a developing child is of immeasurable size. In fact, a child with no access to healthy water will no doubt become sick. Once the body is troubled with an unhealthy source of water, it will lack the nutrients required for other organs such as the kidney, heart, and brain. Once these deductions become a problem, signals are sent to the brain to help dissolve these problems. However, if the brain is not able to focus on learning and development, the child will constantly fall behind in development and in other categories such as motor skills. An example of this comes from the country of Yemen, where fresh water is extremely scarce. In fact, only about 25% of the population has access to clean water; this means that child development is a huge struggle within the country. Although the conservative culture of the country inspires its children to be tough and to pursue education no m...

Global Fund for Children “ We support education from children’s earliest years to secondary school and on through university or vocational training.”    ( The Global Fund for children) The website has the same agendas in the field of education for the youth. Through working together to help end the lack of education, the fund focuses on beating poverty and similar issues through education. It sees education as a means of success, as we do here as well within the course. In order to be successful and be better off than their families, the children are provided with tools for education. Once this education is received, they can get out of the poverty and shambles they are currently in. For us, we can help students here do the absolute same. On the website, it says that “we advise, mentor and guide our partners”. This is a bit shaky because it does not look like this is a relationship of partners. Personally, this global fund is the hand on the top; the ...
