After completing our second set of presentations, I am pleased to reflect on several positive aspects. Firstly, my group, Group 3, delivered a comprehensive overview of healthy eating and dieting, exploring various diet types and emphasizing the direct connection between healthy eating, self-care, and happiness. We highlighted the impact of dietary choices on mood, relationships, and mental health, underscoring the importance of the Mediterranean diet for adults and recommending intermittent fasting, particularly the 16/8 method, for college students. Practical advice on weight loss and maintenance was also shared. I found the project enlightening, and I intend to incorporate the acquired tips into my life. The collaborative effort in our group, from research to presentation design, was enjoyable. Each team member contributed effectively to the overarching message, maintaining thematic coherence. Our presentation was well-organized and focused, showcasing good public speaking skills, i...

      The initial group to present discussed chapter 3, which is centered on intercultural communication. This chapter delved into the dynamics of communication between diverse cultures, emphasizing how subtle distinctions in beliefs and traditions can pose challenges but are not insurmountable. It highlighted the potential difficulties, including anxiety, that may arise during intercultural communication but reassured readers that such feelings are normal and shouldn't be feared. The chapter also addressed barriers like the belief in cultural superiority and the lack of understanding about others' ways of life.      Our classmates executed an excellent presentation, ensuring a clear comprehension of the material. They skillfully navigated the complexities of communicating with individuals from different cultures, acknowledging the potential hurdles both parties might encounter. While there was a hint of initial nervousness at the beginning of the pres...

For our first presentation, we were assigned chapters from the book, each pertaining to a different topic. Each group was in charge of providing the class with a brief overlook at the chapter that was assigned without the class having to read them. For the first group that presented, they were in charge of chapter 3 which was Intercultural Communication. This chapter focused on how communication tends to work in between different cultures. It talked heavily about how differences in small things such as beliefs and traditions can make communicating just that much more difficult, but not impossible by any means. The chapter also spoke about how anxiety might arise when communicating interculturally, but is completely normal and nothing to fear. It mentioned other barries such as the belief that one's culture is superior to others, or not understanding how life is for them, etc. Our classmates did a great job of presenting the chapter to us and made sure we understood what was talked ...

BLOG POST #2

                                                                         BLOG POST #2       For this activity, presentation, assignment, or whatever you want to call it, I had the pleasure of experiencing an engaging and informative session. All three groups managed to captivate my attention and provide valuable insights on their respective topics. Each group brought something unique to the table, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on their performances. First, let's talk about Group 1, which also happens to be my group. I must say, I'm proud of our collective effort. We delivered a presentation that was not only efficient but also engaging and educational. It's not every day that a group project goes so smoothly, and I genuinely believe that this was one was better than the last presenta...

 In our next group presentation, we all had a global theme, which was happiness. Everyone in our class that were in groups had to choose one of the following: Self Care, good eating, and Pay it Forward. The first group presented self care, group two talked about Paying it Forward, while we presented about good eating. Starting with the first group presenting self care. They all said how important it is to take care of yourself, it can include things that make you happy, or for your own physical and mental health. The group gave us different ways on how to prioritize yourself, how to take care of yourself, and how to make yourself happy. Some ways that I do for my self care is taking care of my skin, making myself look pretty like washing my hair, use clothes that I want to use in a specific time or day, and spending time with my family. Going outside to take a breather for a few minutes can also be considered as self care. Using drawing or painting as a hobby makes me happy as well...

  In this post, I will write about the presentations that my class had to do. We all picked sections of the book "Comm6 Speech Communication" by Deanna D. Sellnow. All of us got into groups of three and had to choose either chapter three, nine, or ten. My group chose chapter ten.  One of the few main points of our chapter ten, was leadership that focuses on how to successfully improve guide and organize a group. We first started with the styles of leadership, later, one of my classmates in my group explained on how to make meetings successful for the ones who participate and those who are the audience. Finally, I was the one who presented the written, oral, and virtual formats of presenting in a group and how you can choose either one to use to communicate with your audience. However, we weren't the first group to present. The ones who actually presented were in group one and they presented chapter three. They presented about Intercultural Communication and it focused on ...

     In post number two, I will write about the experience I had after watching, listening, and participating on the presentations. The overall theme was about happiness and each group had a subtopic to show. Group 1 presented Self Care, Group 2 presented Pay It Forward, and Group 3 presented Good Eating. Everyone had to discuss and search about their selecting and make it overall related with happiness, showing their benefits, their disadvantages, examples, and their relations.     Group 1 gave us a speech with a vast majority of ways to self-care, which is to maintain their health physically and mentally stable. The showing of setting goals for someone to act are inspiring and helpful to consider the ways to act. They also put several advises on the issues of dealing with the sleep and its issues. I also learned that self care is not always a thing that must rely only with the use of money, instead, there are ways to not have to waste your earning for your own...
