I don't really know why this would be a question related to school but either way I need to be taking this class.
Nowadays, the word <em>swag </em>is sort of synonymous with the word <em>cool</em>. People didn't really start using it in that way until around 2003, and when it became a definitive Thing in 2010.
Prior to this, however, the word <em>swag</em> was just used as a way to describe how someone walks. No, literally; the earliest recordings of the word came from William Shakespeare in <em>a Midsummer Night's Dream</em>. The official definition around the late sixteenth century was "to strut in a defiant or insolent manner," or sometimes as ways to describe how inept that a person was.
Strangely, its meaning got somehow lost a little while back, with a lot of people wondering where exactly this word came from since, surely, the creator of it wasn't Jay-Z or Will.i.am, right?
Dig more into it if you actually want to know. Simply, it was just how a person presented themselves; not that different to how it's used now.
C. They were both born in Southern California
Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
On the day Janet was scheduled to give her speech, her class was relocated into an auditorium. Janet couldn't quite overcome the feeling of isolation she felt as she spoke to her twenty classmates in a room that could seat 500. Which of the following elements is most responsible for Janet's reaction?
A) Feedback
B) Context
C) Information source
D) Channel
Answer:
The best answer is letter B) Context
Explanation:
The context of a speech involves several aspects, such as the place and time, the purpose, the traits of the audience, how big the audience and the place are, what types of technology will be used etc. From what was explained in the question, Janet's speech had a sudden change in context that impacted Janet negatively. She was prepared to speak to 20 people, quite an "intimate" audience. She probably rehearsed her speech having in mind a smaller room, maybe not even considering the use of a microphone. When she was asked to speak at a room that could seat 500, the whole context change. She felt isolated, surrounded by emptiness instead of the warmth of 20 people in a smaller room. She probably had to speak louder or use a microphone. The change in context was so big that it interfered with Janet's previous preparation and caused her to react negatively.
Social media appears to have a range of benefits. It provides a way for many of us to connect with others. We can support other people and feel supported by them. It may even be a useful way for those with social anxiety and those who have a hard time with face-to-face interactions to connect with others.
