1. Stock Market Crash of 1929 - Many believe erroneously that the stock market crash that occurred on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 is one and the same with the Great Depression. In fact, it was one of the major causes that led to the Great Depression. Two months after the original crash in October, stockholders had lost more than $40 billion dollars. Even though the stock market began to regain some of its losses, by the end of 1930, it just was not enough and America truly entered what is called the Great Depression.

2. Bank Failures - Throughout the 1930s over 9,000 banks failed. Bank deposits were uninsured and thus as banks failed people simply lost their savings. Surviving banks, unsure of the economic situation and concerned for their own survival, stopped being as willing to create new loans. This exacerbated the situation leading to less and less expenditures.

3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board - With the stock market crash and the fears of further economic woes, individuals from all classes stopped purchasing items. This then led to a reduction in the number of items produced and thus a reduction in the workforce. As people lost their jobs, they were unable to keep up with paying for items they had bought through installment plans and their items were repossessed. More and more inventory began to accumulate. The unemployment rate rose above 25% which meant, of course, even less spending to help alleviate the economic situation.

4. American Economic Policy with Europe - As businesses began failing, the government created the Smoot-Hawley Tariff in 1930 to help protect American companies. This charged a high tax for imports thereby leading to less trade between America and foreign countries along with some economic retaliation

Describe two or three ways in which you can minimize the negative effects of the following principle of interpersonal communicat
NeTakaya

One of the principles of interpersonal communication is the fact that interpersonal communication as inescapable. This means that people cannot avoid communicating. What people say and what they do not say is communication. Body language, tone of voice, facial expression, posture, and other elements help convey meaning to what a person is saying. The phrase <em>people judge you by your behavior, not your intent</em>, refers to the fact that what one person says is interpreted in reference to the different cues that surround the text being spoken. Making sure that a person's gestures accompany their words, is one way to ensure the message is clear. Taking into account that people's behaviour defines the meaning of what they say also means that the image that the speaker reflects corresponds to what they say.
