Read the excerpt below of Mr. Bedford’s first meeting with Mr. Cavor. What were your first impressions of the two characters? Ta

ke a moment to describe your thoughts about one of these characters in about 150 words. Be sure to use the details provided in the reading to support your conclusions. He had his watch out as I came up to him. He had a chubby, rubicund face with reddish brown eyes—previously I had seen him only against the light. “One moment, sir,” said I as he turned. He stared. “One moment,” he said, “certainly. Or if you wish to speak to me for longer, and it is not asking too much —your moment is up—would it trouble you to accompany me?” “Not in the least,” said I, placing myself beside him. “My habits are regular. My time for intercourse—limited.” “This, I presume, is your time for exercise?” “It is. I come here to enjoy the sunset.” “You don’t.” “Sir?” “You never look at it.” “Never look at it?” “No, I’ve watched you thirteen nights, and not once have you looked at the sunset—not once.”

Answer:

Thoughts about Mr. Bedford when he meets Mr. Cavor at Lympne

Explanation:

As I sit here writing in the shadows of vine-leaves beneath the blue sky of southern Italy, it occurs to me with a sense of awe that my involvement in Mr. Cavor's remarkable exploits was, after all, the result of the most innocent chance. It could've been anyone. I got into these things at a time when I felt I was safe from any potentially distressing encounters. I'd gone to Lympne because I considered it to be the most boring spot on the planet. “At the very least, here,” I declared, “I shall find serenity and a chance to work!”

With three examples each, distinguish between barriers to communication and misconceptions about communication
Over [174]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are many misconceptions about communication. Here are six examples of each:

MISCONCEPTIONS:

Fluency means comprehension. This misconception is related to the idea that your proficiency in a language is somehow a measure of your effectiveness in communicating.  

If people don’t agree with you, then they misunderstood. Overconfidence in the truth or righteousness of your message can sometimes result in an assumption that everyone will agree with you.

Any problem can be resolved with effective communications. Communications is not magic.  There are some challenges that communications simply will not overcome.

Communication happens when messages are sent. Sometimes people assume that because they have sent a message, that it has been received or that receiving a message is the same as understanding it.  

One message fits all. If all humans had identical needs, experiences, and aspirations, perhaps one type of communication would be feasible. Since we have unique needs or at least groups of people have unique needs, then we have to tailor communications to match our various audiences.

Communications is easy. Just because everyone does it doesn’t mean they do it well. While most people can learn to be better communicators with time and practice, good communications take work. Communicating effectively with broad and diverse audiences requires research, skill, and knowledge.

BARRIERS:

Emotional. The emotional IQ of a person determines the ease and comfort with which they can communicate. A person who is emotionally mature will be able to communicate effectively. On the other hand, people who let their emotions take over will face certain difficulties.

Cultural. Different cultures have a different meaning for several basic values of society. Dressing, Religions or lack of them, food, drinks, pets, and the general behavior will change drastically from one culture to another.

Psychological. There are various mental and psychological issues that may be barriers to effective communication. Some people have stage fright, speech disorders, phobia, depression etc. All of these conditions are very difficult to manage sometimes and will most certainly limit the ease of communication.

Physical. These are the most obvious barriers to effective communication. These barriers are mostly easily removable in principle at least. They include barriers like noise, closed doors, faulty equipment used for communication, closed cabins, etc.

Perception. Different people perceive the same things differently. This is a fact which we must consider during the communication process. Knowledge of the perception levels of the audience is crucial to effective communication. All the messages or communique must be easy and clear. There shouldn’t be any room for a diversified interpretative set.

Attitude. Certain people like to be left alone. They are the introverts or just people who are not very social. Others like to be social or sometimes extra clingy. Both these cases could become a barrier to communication. Some people have attitude issues, like huge ego and inconsiderate behaviors.
