For A-plus writer only ! !

THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT ASSIGNEMENTS, PLEASE USE APA STYLE AND ALSO USE ALL THE ATTACHMENTS AND LINKS FOR THE ASSIGNMENTS.

ALSO PLEASE GIVE ME THREE SEPERATE WORD DOCUMENTS. 

DISCUSSION ONE 

• Read the writing prompt below in its entirety. Note that there are three tasks to complete:
  • Define culture and explain its importance in communication.
  • Describe your own culture.
  • Explain how culture impacts how you communicate with others, including those from different cultures.
• Review Chapter 3 of your text and identify at least one point about culture and communication to discuss in your post.
• Drawing on what you’ve learned in Bevan and Sole (2014), start formulating a definition of culture and its important in communication.

Based on what you have learned in Chapter 3, think about key elements of your own culture and how it influences both the style and content of your communication. Think about how your culture shapes how you communicate with others, especially those who are from other cultures. Why is culture important in understanding effective communication? How can knowing about your own culture help you build bonds and/or bridge cultural divides? If you are struggling, think about where you live and the consumer goods that surround you. How do these reflect your values and beliefs? How has communication shaped those choices and ideas?

• Define culture and explain why it is important to understanding communication.
• Explain how understanding and assessing culture can improve your own communication. Describe your own culture and share with us what makes you who you are. Your culture can be related to your race, ethnicity, gender, age, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, media preferences, hobbies, religion, etc. Try not to focus on just one of these aspects of yourself, but instead utilize as many cultural elements as possible. Think about both style (how you speak) and content (what interests you).
• How does your culture affect your communication with those in your own culture and those from other cultures?

Thoroughly respond to the discussion elements by writing at least one to two sentences on your definition and then two to three sentences on each of the remaining two elements. Use the course readings, with full APA citations, at least once to help you make your points. Consider copying and pasting all three tasks into a word file and addressing each of them separately.

Your initial response should be 200 to 300 words in length and is due by Thursday, Day 3.

DISCUSSION TWO

Bevan and Sole (2014) contend that most academic research has found few differences in how men and women communicate.   Extending the argument, Cameron (2007) argues that our ideas about gender are often based on myths, not facts.  In this discussion, you will take the sex-role inventory test and then think through the relationship between your gender orientation and how you communicate.

As you prepare to write this discussion post, take a few moments to do the followiNG

• Review Bevan and Sole (2014) on gender and gender orientation (focus on Section 2.2) and read the article by Cameron.
• Take the sex-role inventory test - http://personality-testing.info/tests/OSRI/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
• Provide an example of a “masculine” or “feminine” trait you use in communication.
• Identify the benefits of having an “androgynous” style.

 Take time to analyze, and reflect on, the role of gender in communication. Consider the concept of gender orientation as an alternative explanation of how we approach and understand communication. After taking the sex-role inventory test, reflect on your sex-role inventory score and think about your own style and the potential value of an androgynous style.

Based on what you have learned this week from our text and the article, answer the following questions:

• What is gender orientation?
• What is your sex-role inventory score? Do you feel it is accurate? Referencing Bevan and Sole (2014), what is a specific verbal or nonverbal feminine or masculine trait you use in communication?
• What are the benefits of having an androgynous communication style?

Please spend at least one paragraph on each of the questions.

Paraphrase the course readings at least once for each question to help you make your points. Consider copying and pasting these questions into a word file and addressing each of them separately. Your answers should highlight the importance of thinking about gender in relation to communication. You should then describe the concept of gender orientation, examine your sex-role inventory score with personal reflection, and explain the value of an androgynous communication style.

Your initial response should be 200 to 300 words in length and is due by Thursday, Day 3.
