      what is communication?
  • Communication is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding. This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. Use of these processes is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occur.[1] Communication is the articulation of sending a message, through different media [2] whether it be verbal or nonverbal, so long as a being transmits a thought provoking idea, gesture, action, etc. . .

  • In a typical survey people are asked to rank their sense of well-being or happiness on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 means "not at all satisfied with my life" and 7 means "completely satisfied." Of the American multimillionaires who responded, the average happiness score was 5.8.
  • Economies thrive when individuals strive, but because individuals will strive only for their own happiness, it is essential that they mistakenly believe that producing and consuming are routes to personal well-being." In other words, if you want to do your part for your country's economy, forget all of the above about money not buying happiness.

shared by shchu22 on 18 Mar 08 - Cached
  • Freud's theories are best understood as covering three key areas: The first is the idea of the importance of unconscious feelings. Freud’s first case studies purported to show the way that when strong feelings cause conflict, they may be blocked from awareness - repressed. This, however, doesn’t mean that they go away. One way they may express themselves is in the form of neurotic symptoms, usually in some way expressing the underlying conflict. As an example, a young woman who was disgusted by seeing a dog drink from a household glass developed symptoms where she couldn’t drink liquids. Unconscious feelings may also show themselves in distorted form in dreams. The goal of Freudian dream interpretation is to unravel the different kinds of distortion which mask the motivations underlying the dream. Freud also thought slips of the tongue and the mistakes we make were motivated by unconscious conflicts and feelings.

  • Criticism Controversially, the NBA Finals are sometimes[3] regarded by league officials and U.S. media as a "World Championship," despite the fact that only teams from the US compete except for one team from Canada. This issue has become notable since USA national teams have not won official worldwide basketball competitions like the 2004 Olympics and the 2002 and 2006 FIBA World Championships, and have even finished as low as sixth place. Although some players from opponent international teams actually play in the NBA, teams with no NBA players -such as Greece and Italy- have won against NBA-based USA teams. From 1992 to 1996, the first four years of NBA players participating in USA Basketball at worldwide tournaments, these national teams did seem to dominate any opponent.
