– **Conversations:**
– Conversation 1a: Discussed plans for a family gathering.
– Conversation 1b: Addressed a disagreement about household chores.
2. **Individual 2:**
– **Desсrіption:** My best friend
– **Brief Desсrіption of Relationship:** My best friend is like a sister to me. We′ve been through ups and downs together, and our friendship is characterized by trust, loyalty, and shared experiences.
– **Conversations:**
– Conversation 2a: Talked about career aspirations and future goals.
– Conversation 2b: Shared personal struggles and provided emotional support.
3. **Individual 3:**
– **Desсrіption:** My partner

– **Conversations:**
– Conversation 3a: Discussed plans for an upcoming vacation.
– Conversation 3b: Addressed a misunderstanding about finances.
4. **Individual 1 (Brother):**
– **Concept 1: Dual Perspective**
– *Application:* During the conversation about household chores, I recognized the importance of considering my brother′s perspective. By acknowledging his workload and stressors, I was able to empathize with his point of view and find a compromise.
– **Concept 2: Defensive Listening**
– *Application:* My brother initially responded defensively when I brought up the topic of chores. He seemed to feel criticized and became guarded in his communication. Recognizing his defensive stance, I adjusted my approach to ensure a more productive dialogue.
– **Concept 3: Nonverbal Communication**
– *Application:* Throughout our conversation, I noticed my brother′s nonverbal cues, such as crossed arms and furrowed brows, indicating his discomfort and frustration. These cues helped me gauge his emotional state and adjust my communication accordingly.
– **Concept 4: Empathy**
– *Application:* As our conversation progressed, I made a conscious effort to empathize with my brother′s feelings and validate his experiences. By demonstrating empathy, I created a supportive environment where we could openly discuss our concerns and find a resolution.
5. **Individual 2 (Best Friend):**
– **Concept 1: Self-Disclosure**
– *Application:* During our conversation about personal struggles, we both engaged in self-disclosure, sharing intimate details about our lives and emotions. This mutual sharing strengthened our bond and fostered a deeper level of trust and understanding.
– **Concept 2: Active Listening**
– *Application:* I practiced active listening by fully focusing on my friend′s words, providing verbal and nonverbal cues of attentiveness, and paraphrasing her feelings to ensure understanding. This active listening approach facilitated effective communication and emotional support.
– **Concept 3: Non-Listening**
– *Application:* At times, I caught myself engaging in non-listening behaviors, such as zoning out or interrupting my friend′s speech. Recognizing these behaviors, I made a conscious effort to refocus my attention and actively engage in the conversation.
– **Concept 4: Love Styles**
– *Application:* Our conversation also touched upon love styles, as we discussed our respective romantic relationships and expressed our preferences for affection and communication. Understanding each other′s love styles deepened our friendship and enriched our interactions.
6. **Individual 3 (Partner):**
– **Concept 1: Autonomy-Connectedness Dialectic**
– *Application:* In our discussion about finances, we navigated the autonomy-connectedness dialectic by balancing our individual financial responsibilities with our shared financial goals. We respected each other′s autonomy while prioritizing our mutual interests as a couple.
– **Concept 2: Kitchen-Sinking**
– *Application:* We consciously avoided kitchen-sinking during our conversation, focusing on one specific issue (finances) rather than bringing up unrelated grievances or past conflicts. This approach allowed us to address the issue constructively and work towards a resolution.
– **Concept 3: Love Languages**
– *Application:* Our conversation highlighted the importance of understanding each other′s love languages, as we discussed ways to express love and appreciation in our relationship. Recognizing and honoring each other′s love languages strengthens our emotional connection and intimacy.
– **Concept 4: Perception**
– *Application:* We acknowledged the role of perception in our discussion, recognizing that our individual perspectives and interpretations of financial matters may differ. By communicating openly and clarifying misunderstandings, we bridged the gap in perception and found common ground.

*Choose a topic that has a great deal of depth. Good storytelling translates into good feature writing. Do NOT interview your mother, your father, a sibling or your best friend. Talk to people and peruse the Internet for potential ideas. Memorable features in the past few years have included an in-depth story about a street performer in Richmond who played his music on Cary Street; a college pitcher who dreamed of playing Major League Baseball, but suffered a career-ending injury; an individual who battled Celiac Disease; an organization formed and devoted to raising money to stamp out a disease; and a bluegrass band aspiring to make it on the big stage. Find an idea that appeals to a broad enough audience that a news agency would want to publish it. If you can get a news agency to publish it, I will add 10 points to the final grade on your Feature. A commitment is all you need from the news agency prior to submission time; the story can be published after our class has concluded. Just put a note on page six regarding the news agency and who guaranteed that your story would be published.
*Compose a 25-word (max.) lead. You are not using the inverted pyramid, but keep your paragraphs short and adhere to the rule of one main idea per paragraph. A feature lead can be intriguing and does not have to reveal all of the ″secrets″ of the story.
*Contact three ″experts″ to get three direct quotes related to your story. This is the bare minimum; you can interview more than three interviewees. Use your phone; email takes too long to get a response and results in canned answers. Remember that the best interviews happen face-to-face. Be sure to include these individuals′ titles in your story. For instance, the story on the baseball pitcher included numerous quotes from him, a quote from each of his parents, a quote from his college and high school coaches, quotes from his teammates and a quote from an orthopedic doctor.
*Include information from two research sources, such as The American Cancer Society′s website that I mentioned for the Opinion piece. Weave these into the body of your Feature; do not include a ″References″ list. Make these two sources hyperlinks in the story. When I click on them, I will give you credit for this portion of the assignment ONLY when they open. If you have never used hyperlinks before, your roommate or Innovation Space on campus can assist you; give that office a call. Hyperlinks allow an individual to delve more deeply into an aspect of the story purely by choice.
*Select a story you can tell in five pages, double-spaced. Do NOT hit the spacebar twice between paragraphs.
*Integrate your strongest quote into the second paragraph. Quotes are an extremely important part of a Feature story, but do not turn basic information into direct quotes; that info can be paraphrased.
*Do NOT use first person in this assignment. The individual, organization, group of individuals or trend you address is the focal point of the story; you are the individual tasked with telling the story.
*Bring a new story to me, your editor, that the general public would want to read and appreciate the job you have done–as a professional writer–telling the story.
*You will NOT use the inverted pyramid to write this assignment, so formulate a creative lead and an ending that has impact.
*You have five pages to tell the story; four is not sufficient, and six is too long.
*Take two photos with your cellphone; these visual images will aid you in telling the story you select for your Feature. Submit these on page six.
*Also, on page six, include three demographics of an audience that would appreciate reading your Feature. For example, you could use ″parents, middle-class, with a high school senior preparing to enroll in college″ for an audience that would read the article ″How to Afford College in 2024.″
*Include a headline that meets the criteria stated in your textbook.
*Adhere to the rules in The Associated Press Stylebook for all information you include in your Feature

I have provided everything you need, required that it has to be at least 300 words. if you have any questions feel free to ask. all you have to do is answer a question

you have to write opposing to the previous essay you wrote for me.
Im writing arguing that the solution to my affirmative essay is unenforceable because
1. kids can just make a fake account by parents bypassing
2. personal data can get leaked
3. age verification won′t stop greater issues like cyberbullying and exposure to inappropriate content
minimum 3 NON-ACADEMIC credible sources
NO ACADEMIC SOURCES!!!

It′s an informative first draft about role model, which they all agreed in class to talk about our fathers, and it′s for a speech that I′m going to give in my communication class.

Your final paper needs to be a cohesive paper that exemplifies a substantial knowledge base accrued in this course and demonstrates that you have the knowledge and applicable skills to increase and improve your leadership and group communication.

Note: This final paper contains additional new information, not just a summary of information found in online learning resources or course activities and assignments.

Requirements:
8-10 pages (Essay, double-spaced, #12 Arial font, normal 1” margins, APA format, bibliography – min. of 10 references – title page and abstract paragraph). Submit as usual as a Word Doc or PDF on Canvas in the assignment for the Final Paper.

Steps to Do:
Gather, review and examine all the relevant literature presented in the course and determine which topic or topics most interest you.
Read over the information from Dr. Covey’s 7-habits, The 8th Habit, and Principle Centered Leadership and find areas that most interest you. Determine how you will use these ideas in relation to your chosen topic in this paper.
Develop a unique title to the paper by focusing your efforts into a coherent integrative paper that specifically relates to you and your interests/circumstances.
Plan and outline the paper and write a complete introduction, with a concrete thesis/preview statement that outlines what you are going to do in this essay and how you are going to do it. Use details and be direct in the end of your introductory segment as to the direction of the paper. Typically in a paper 8-10 pages in length the intro should take about 1 page and the conclusion should take about 1 page, giving you about 6-8 pages for content or the body of your essay. Plan and organize your paper accordingly.
Do NOT cut and paste. Plagiarism is not acceptable and every paper is automatically processed for plagiarism when submitted. It is always best to write it in your own words and use citations and quotations for referenced materials. You will need to chose, edit and organize pertinent sections of research that help to display relevant knowledge accrued. REMEMBER: good writing is re-writing so theme ideas together work on transitions and write section headings. Make your ideas stand out in a clear and comprehensive manner.
Give support to the overall essay (use APA style) by making sure your references and in text citations are correct and well connected to the content. If you use an excerpt from the text or an article, it should be short and if you have personal supporting examples they should also be concise and informative. Wasted filler or material that is redundant in nature will cause the overall score to go down. Please keep in mind that this is a final document that you can use to showcase your scholarly efforts in this course.
Write a proper conclusion with a well-directed summary and a good ending.

Conduct an interview of a communication professional in a field you are interested applying for, this can be by phone, or in-person. You must interview someone that you do not currently know. This interview should be focused on topics such as why they chose that career, what their daily job looks like, and what they wish they knew before they started. Based on this interview and your own research, write a 750-1,000 words reflection about this career path. In this reflection you should discuss:
Why are you or why are you not drawn toward this profession?
What would be the best thing about working in this profession? What would be the worst?
How would your communication background benefit you in this profession?
What impacts could a Christian worldview have on you or someone in this profession?
In addition to the interview, your response should also reference the Here I Am textbook from this course.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
I have attached the Here I Am book, a reference needs to be used in this interview from this book.
