Verbal and Non-Verbal Messages

/in /by

The movie is: IRON MAN

Re-watch the movie from your Communication Practicum Project then
select three 10 minute scenes (different from the previous week, where
you looked at listening) and evaluate one 10 minute scene and focus on
the Verbal Messages. Then focus on the second 10 minute scene and focus
on the Non-Verbal Messages. Finally, evaluate the third scene and
compare and contract Verbal Messages vs. Non-Verbal Messages.

Use the following hints to help you organize your work:

  1. Briefly describe the scene, the characters and the situation.
  2. Using quotes from the movie, analyze the language used. Use material from the book to help you break down the use of language.
  3. Evaluate the body language, or non-verbal communication from the
    characters. Utilize at least 3 non-verbal elements from the reading.
  4. Cite each element, and then explain how the non-verbal behavior was either effective or ineffective.

Key Elements of Biblical Worldview:

Worldview can be described as ideas and beliefs that shape an individual, and societal understanding of the world. These views can look differently depending on the views of a particular group or individual. Worldviews adapted will shape every aspect of life, the way one thinks, the way one behaves, and the way one sees the world, politically, morally, and philosophically. Biblical worldview shapes a Christians perspectives and morals significantly. Graham, (2009) describes the bible as being written to address the heart of human beings. The Bible is written as a text to understand modern science, psychology, philosophy, economics, or other disciplines. (Graham, 2009, p. 12). There are a few key elements of biblical worldview: An absolute God exists, God created the universe, Man is created in the image of God, and the Bible is the Word of God. These elements of biblical worldview shape our everyday thinking, our community, and our perspectives on the world.

Christian Philosophy of Education:

According to Graham (2009), “God expects us to do something with the knowledge we have acquired to honor Him and fulfill HIS purposes.” Christian education encompasses directing the human development towards God’s purpose for man. The role of Christian educators is to disciple students to see the Truth of God’s Word in all things. The ultimate goals in Christian education, with every subject is to always bring the process back to God our Creator. Students are the image bearers of Christ; so Christian education would reach each child to foster their own reflection of Christ. (Graham, 2009, p.23).

Implications for Educational Practice:

The Bible has a significant impact on our society and worldviews from many aspects of history, nature, human rights, etc. Understanding the history of Christianity in our culture is an important factor in the educational field. Graham (2009), explains education must help us pursue our creational task in developing the “third stage” of creation.” (p.25). Secularism is widespread in the educational systems, leaving many historical aspects out of certain subject areas. Biblical worldviews and Christian philosophy bring Christian truth that will significantly impact our societies, communities, and culture. The ultimate goal in biblical worldview is to begin and end with Christ!

Southern Renaissance: Key Characteristics

To participate in this thread, please post one specific characteristic of the Southern Renaissance in the subject heading – I am not asking for general overviews! Then using a specific example from the text, explain how that example demonstrates that characteristic – you don’t have to insert the image but you certainly are welcome to as it adds great visual interest. For now, I ask that you stick to examples from the text, thanks!

Question 2:

Maureen Farrell INSTRUCTOR MANAGER

Both the Northern and Southern Renaissance are influenced by humanism, but there are many differences in both style and subject matter. A rising middle class, a merchant class and Protestantism are just a few of the reasons why northern artists go in a different direction from their Southern counterparts – concentrating on artists such as Brueghel (see text), let’s do the same thing here – post a particular characteristic and identify an example – again, I am not asking for wikipedia overviews – just your thoughts on one key characteristic and an explanation and visual of how it appears!

You are also welcome to check for other free online sources for the film, but that is your own choice. It is about 98-100 minutes long.This will give you some context in providing your answer. Also, watching the movie is a necessary element for A-2 which will be due in a couple of weeks. So do not skip watching the film.

/in /by

you will write an essay that analyzes an article of your choice selected from your research results so far. You will focus on one essay only. There should be no references to other sources in your paper. The exam should reflect your analysis of the text alone.

I will expect to see an essay with an introduction, body paragraphs (one of which should be a brief summary of the key points of the source, especially as relevant to your project), and a conclusion. This will likely look very much like a traditional 5-paragraph essay.

Introduction: The introductory paragraph should include an introduction to the article that you will discuss and must present your thesis for the essay, which is your assessment of the text—its reliability, suitability, and relevance.

Body:The essay’s first body paragraph should be a brief summary of the article based upon the article’s central idea, key terms, and other important ideas. Remain objective in the summary, reserving judgment and assessment for the following paragraphs.

You must assess the source, discussing its suitability as an academic source and its applicability to your research and project. Consider the author’s purpose and reliability, including some information about who the author is and why he or she is reputable. You may wish to discuss the reliability of the source itself. If it an article, for instance, what can you say about the credibility of the journal or magazine in which it is published? Is the source objective or biased? How so? Is it useful? Explain.

Reflect on the source. Consider how it fits in with your research. How helpful is the source? How do you see it fitting in with your project?How has it informed or otherwise changed or shaped your ideas?

Conclusion:The concluding paragraph will tie everything together and give readers an overview of your essay. It should provide a sense of closure to the essay.

As we previously discussed, this essay incorporates essential components of the annotated bibliography entries; however, your discussion in this exam will likely be more detailed and refined as you will have more space to elaborate on your discussion.
