Answer:

The difference in the messages Mary and Shane received most likely resulted from the fact that <u>Mary and Shane received the message through different channels</u>.

Explanation:

There are essentially three types of communication: verbal, written, and nonverbal. They can be broken down into different channels. For instance, verbal communication can take place in person or through the phone.

In Mary and Shane's case, they both had access to verbal communication via different channels. Shane was there listening to the Mayor in person while Mary listened to the speech on the radio. That in itself might not have provoked different opinions in both listeners. But Shane was also given access to nonverbal communication. That is why he said, "the way the Mayor avoided looking at his constituents" is what made him think the Mayor supported an increase in rates. <u>Eye contact is one of the channels for nonverbal communication. Since Mary did not have access to it, she could not have known better. Receiving the message through different channels is what caused the difference in interpretation by Mary and Shane.</u>

Compare the examples of the dwarves' and the goblins' prejudices with the effects of Bilbo's choice. What theme do you notice? S
-BARSIC- [3]
<span>I think that Bilbo felt for Gollum. The dwarves and the goblins hated certain beings. Still they all belonged to a group or collective Middle Earth "ethnicity". Gollum was alone:he had nobody to even collictively hate him.  Bilbo was tired of the feuds and prejudice. He wanted to purge his own prejudice, he let Gollum live. </span>

Write a short story about literally anything please make it at least 3 paragraphs
Savatey [412]

Inspired by The Secret, I decided that everything that I wasn’t happy with in my life was going to be replaced with a new beginning. I was tired of a dead marriage and relationships that kept me small and zapped my energy, basically a life that wasn’t fulfilling. I came across The Secret and watched the video and my inner me started to shift. I felt a fire starting to burn, a push forward, ideas sprouted, I became more creative and I started to take action and everything started to make sense, everything was on purpose, nothing was forced or a struggle. I would make a decision, write it down, visualize it and it appeared, just like that. My first reaction was to really start believing it was me doing it, so now I wanted everything to change. I had the opportunity when my daughter had to choose a University to study English Philology in. She chose Malaga, a town we knew from summer holiday visits. It was a place near the sea, that I had always dreamed about,  a tourist area where English classes were in demand. I literally got out my pen and paper and wrote down: I will find a nice apartment to live in. A good school for my younger son to study in and find work for my middle teenage daughter. Plenty of work from private English classes will appear, I will earn money to provide for all costs and to be able to save. It will come easily and effortlessly. So the challenge was on! I packed everything and a week before took a trip down to Malaga to set everything up. I had a week before school started so it was “yes or yes” to happen. Arriving there, I felt excited and trusted my morning and evening goals and visualization exercises and took action. First I made publicity and handed out my cards and posted them in the library, shops, all the local places and spread the word about my English classes. I found a sign on a board for an apartment to rent for less than the money I had budgeted for. I phoned the number, saw the flat and accepted, it was mine! Then through word of mouth, I found a lovely school for my son nearby and registered him. Although I had not been to the town hall to register yet, they let me. Education first, the head mistress said, you can go to the town hall after. This all happened in three days, I just stuck to my clear goals and took action upon an undeniable faith! The main feeling I had was that it was on purpose, I was attracting and it felt wonderful! We are happy!
