.... or her voice. This makes the person you are talking to more attentive, thus, more interested. The speaker must also be aware of his environment and the people he is speaking to. Environment plays a lot with what you say and try to convey to people. If you hear a bird chirping, you might incorporate it to what you where just about to say. This makes the person you're talking to even more comfortable with what you are trying to convey with your thoughts and ideas. This is how different things can effect one's communication skill, speaking. A second communication skill is body language, a very personal way of expressing yourself without words. One's body language can ca ....

.... in. Therefore the clothing a person wears can allow for what sociologists would define as symbolic interaction, that is interaction that is possible because of the ability of humans to create and manipulate symbols. Clothing is definitely something that we create and manipulate in order to help interactions to become easier for us. We can also see our social construction of reality through the clothing that we wear, that is our experiences of the world or the meanings that come out of the interactions that take place amongst people in our daily lives. The Thomas theorem can also be applied here, which is our definitions influence over our constructions of reality. We can ....

.... loss of creativity, impatience, and violence further along down the road. The ability to be creative is an important factor in the development of a young child’s mind. By sitting down and watching TV for a couple hours, the child is entertained, but is also not thinking. Information in spoon-fed to them, so when it comes time to read a book in school, some can have a hard time grasping ideas. They are so used to having images flash before them to provide understanding; they have trouble moving their eyes side to side to gather the information for themselves. With the TV in front of them, supplying amusement, they may never stop to think that putting a puzzle together, or re ....

.... we view these advertisements, the more we are persuaded toward . With a television in almost every household and magazines an arm=s length away, advertisers basically have us on our knees. We must digest advertisers= views so frequently that you would think it was necessary to sustain life. Advertising=s main goal is to persuade. They want us to see the American way through their eyes. They tell us what to eat, drink, wear, drive, and think. Advertisers start this form of brainwashing on us at a very early age. They lay the groundwork of ideals early on because it is easy to persuade a child. Now, with the two income family, children are left to interpret not only advertis ....

.... is someone's identity? Is it the way they look, the way they dress, or it could be many things all put together, or is it none of the above? To me someone's identity is a part of their being. Nobody will ever hold it, touch it, or even see it, but it is there. Everybody has one, it guilds your decision making, your thoughts, ideas, and dreams. You may think something is terrible while someone else does not even care and yet another person may laugh, why? The answer is simple, everyone has his own identity and personality. Everyone feels, acts, thinks, and dreams differently. People may have some of these things in common with one another, but they will not be totally ....

.... what little intelligence God gave to them. These men believe in dominating a woman by any means possible and hence mar their character when they resort to violence. Examples of such men are rapist and abusive husbands or boyfriends. Then there are those who appreciate women to the point where one just is not enough. Their actions portray that they are aware that women are indeed great, therefore, they believe that they must show each one that they have come to this cognizance. Unfortunately, their admiration is demonstrated in a negative way as they prove to be unfaithful. On the other hand, there are those who believe that they are God's gift to women. These 'casanov ....

.... people because it is difficult to communicate with others without showing them respect. People need to treat each other with respect and love. The Bible commands that a person treat others the way he wants to be treated. Children must be shown how to show respect to other people so they can receive that respect. Another important value children learn from their parents is to be independent. Children who are not taught independence will have both social and emotional problems later in life. Every person needs to understand how important it is to be an individual and take care of themselves. When children are young, they are constantly taken care of. They are feed whe ....
