Bad News

Delivering bad news is a tedious and sensitive task to accomplish. If an employee is lacking the motivation and drive to contribute to an organization, everyone else is hindered by their actions. When placed in a position to handle difficult employees, the first step to take is to evaluate the situation in the entirety. Employer’s must evaluate the actions of each employee and provide timely feedback in order to prevent or tackle inappropriate behavior. By doing this, employers are equipped to handle difficult situations prior to them escalating. Employee’s that perform under par, that receive countless complaints, and exhibit hostile behavior in the work place need to be held accountable for their actions and this would be cause for a meeting and plan of action.  

Mediation and Arbitration

 Conflict resolution, at times, can be a difficult task to accomplish. There are situations that need help in order to move the resolution process forward. Conflicts will sometimes develop into disputes. This occurs when the parties experience a block in communication and this prevents regular relations (Cahn & Abigail, 2014). Although it is normal to experience disputes, there are alternative methods of reaching a resolution. By using mediation or arbitration, parties are able to discuss the issues at hand in a constructive environment and come to a consensus.

Oral Interview

 The world is made up of numerous cultures, which thrive off of the existence of others  differences. To embrace these differences is to gain a whole new understanding of the world around us. Through intercultural communication, we are able to bridge the gap between cultures and develop into a more aware society and learn to appreciate the world that we share. For this reason, I have chosen to interview the one and only Mrs. Denise Porcaro. Through her life experiences and culture ups and downs, I will be able to view the world through her lens and demonstrate the importance of our culture differences and how to build better intercultural communications.

Four Media Technologies

 In this blog I will be addressing and explaining the four types of media technologies used in our society today. The four types are printed media, radio, television, and of course social media. Throughout the years each of these technologies has adapt to our needs and provided us with the information that is pertinent in our world today. Sadly, as we continue to progress, there is a drastic decline in the use of particular medias due to a technically savvy society.

Creating A Blog

Blogs are an excellent way to market and learn about what works and what does not work. According to Technical Communication, Lannon (2007) notes that the use of an external blog can increase customer feedback, enhance marketing and public relations, basically assisting in personalization of an individual or organization (p.324).  The purpose of this blog is to create an avenue that will assist me in finishing school and applying for internships.
