Blog for Chapter 3, 9, and 10 Presentation.

              Hello, this blog will be going over our first presentation that my class did for our speech class. All of the students in our class were split into three groups, so that we may all cover a different chapter. Group one went over chapter three Intercultural Communication, group two went over chapter nine Communicating in groups, and last my group went over chapter ten Group leadership and problem solving.  I was really happy that my chapter was about leadership and problem solving because I just got out of the military and leadership plays a very important roll in your military service. Overall, I was pleased with assignment, and I did not find it to be very difficult for our first presentation, hopefully the rest of the semester is the same.

As stated above group one presented first and they covered chapter three. They spoke about culture and communication, dominant cultures, co-cultures, and cultural identity, how cultures differ, and developing intercultural communication competence. I think group one did a great job and set a good standard for the rest of the class. Also, in my opinion their presentation was the one that I thought about the most after all the other groups presented. My favorite part was when one of their group members spoke about how western product manufacturers care more about creed in comparison to eastern manufactures that care more about the products quality.

             Group two at first had some technical difficulties and because of this they were not able to present the same day as the rest of the class. Nonetheless they were assigned to go over chapter nine. Their presentation went over the nature and types of groups, characteristics of healthy groups, stages of group development, and conflicts in groups. Unfortunately, I also experienced some technical difficulties that day so I was not able to see the whole presentation but what I enjoyed the most was that the presentation was full of pictures and they had a lot of cool designs. Overall, I found their presentation to be very resourceful.

Last but not least my group went over chapter ten. In our presentation we went over leadership, effective meetings, systematic problem solving, communicating group solutions, and evaluating group effectiveness. I was meant to go first for our group, but I went to the restroom and to my surprise my group was moved up to present after group one. This however was not a problem because my group members were able to inform me and I made it back to present right after our first member went. I want to say for a group of individuals who for the most part have never spoken to each other, we all came together seamlessly and worked together in harmony to put together our presentation. Overall, I think our presentation was good with lots of pictures and our group members were knowledgeable in their role of our presentation.

In conclusion, I think all the groups did a great job with their presentations, and we all did a great job with our public specking which I feel is the most important part of this class. I look forward to the rest of the semester and to work with the rest of my group.

Throughout the time I was to make My Experience Learning about Mental Health Disabilities By Jennifer Fernandez  my portion of the disabilities presentation I was able to make a lot of interesting and useful discoveries. My topic of research was anxiety and depression. I feel like my generation has a lot of anxiety and depression growing up and it's very important for everyone to be informed on how to catch signs of these disabilities and how to help both others and yourself. I'm very glad to have been a part of this presentation to raise awareness for disabilities especially my particular subgroup focused on psychological disabilities. My group consisted of both Amanda and Katie who focused on post-traumatic stress disorders, psychosis, and eating disorders to name a few.   I was able to find out the risks of undiagnosed depression and anxiety which in extreme cases can lead to the loss of a loved one. It's very important to be able to notice signs

          Today I will be writing a blog about our presentations regarding disabilities. I was really interested in this presentation because it allowed me to learn about different disabilities in depth and gain more knowledge about how to help people in these situations. I was also kind of nervous about how I would present my ideas for this project. I wanted to make sure that how or what I said did not come across as offensive to some people and I wanted to make sure the information was accurate.           Group 1’s presentation was about mobility, spinal, and head disabilities. They explained what each disability was and they gave examples for each type. They also described how these disabilities affect a person's life and how they can get these types of disabilities. I felt that they did a really good job presenting but I do feel that they should have tried to keep a cohesive theme throughout their powerpoint and that they could have added more pictures or less writing per slide

Educating people on these different types of disabilities would allow for the world to be accessible for all, which is why this project is so beneficial to us. This project opened my eyes to the different types of disabilities that we may not even be able to see.  In order to successfully complete this project we divided our group into smaller groups, with each member focusing on a specific disability, ensuring we explain it thoroughly and effec
