Below, you will discover an interpersonal and intrapersonal essay that discusses the differences between the communication skills. Introduction The distinction that exists between intrapersonal and interpersonal skills has to do with the fact that while intrapersonal skills are those used by the communicator to communicate to himself or herself, interpersonal skills are employed when communicating with an audience. As human beings, we live in an environment populated with other people and as such, interpersonal skills are vital for relaying what we know or feel to those who listen to us. Considering the importance of communication, leaders must cultivate effective intrapersonal and interpersonal skills in order to realize maximum output from their inputs. This paper presents a discussion that compares and contrasts intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. Intrapersonal Skills As has already been stated, intrapersonal skills are those skills that we use to communicate with ourselves. Apparently, a communicator may need to first communicate to him or herself before the communication can eventually get to the listener. In the process of communicating to others, a desire to communicate is first aroused and this is then followed by the engagement of the brain. The tongue is then used to pass on the communication to whoever is listening. In some instances, however, the relaying of the message may be done using gestures. During intrapersonal communication, only one person is involved and the communicator and recipient of the message is the same person. In the development of intrapersonal skills, it is imperative for one to understand the various mechanisms that affect their emotions and behaviors. By understanding the connection that exists between one’s emotions, behaviors, and actions, it becomes easy to choose the right action when faced with a situation. Clearly, this is important if one has to avoid conflict and confusion. Interpersonal Skills The development of interpersonal skills is a very important consideration for leaders if they have to achieve their goals and objectives in what they do. To enhance communication with others, a number of things must happen. First, it is important to understand the need to behave appropriately in order to motivate listeners toward greater achievements. Next, the communicator must become aware of any mistakes that may arise and endeavor to correct them. Through constant learning and correction, one is able to move to the next stage where he or she is aware of the progress being made. Finally, the art of communicating to listeners becomes ingrained and the communicator unconsciously communicates effectively. Comparison and Contrast between Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Skills While intrapersonal and interpersonal skills differ as far as the intended audience is concerned, there is a link between them. Intrapersonal skills enable the communicator to communicate to him or herself while interpersonal skills enable the com
Description Perhaps, one of the most famous nonprofit organizations, Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV) has become a household name in people’s lives all over the United States. Founded in 1975, the organization has been providing support for the victims of domestic violence ever since. According to the official mission statement of the organization, PADV is aimed at improving the overall wellbeing of families all over the world and helping those that suffer from domestic violence (About us, 2014) The organization’s primary goal is to meet the needs of the people that have experienced domestic violence and to support them in their attempts at healing their emotional scars. In addition, PADV does everything possible to spread awareness concerning domestic violence so that the instances of domestic violence occurrences could be brought down to zero. Organizational Culture As it has been stressed above, the provision of decent services is the primary concern of the leaders of PADV. Consequently, the improvement of the staff’s performance and consistent upgrading of their skills makes the basis for the company’s organizational culture. To be more specific, the organization is obviously aimed at creating the environment that will help the victims of domestic abuse recover faster. While the members of the PADV organization never spell it out exactly they still make it rather obvious that their efforts are aimed primarily at the people that have suffered domestic abuse. Effects of Norms, Customs and Traditions on Decision Making Seeing that people, who have experienced pressure and/or physical violence from the members of their families make the primary audience that PADV works with, the fact that the organization puts a very strong emphasis on the significance of cooperation and trust between the patients and the PADV members is quite understandable. Indeed, according to the official statement made by the organization, a reciprocal and unceasing communication with the victims of domestic abuse, which PADV assists in dealing with their emotional traumas, is the key premise for the successful operation of the organization and the efficient delivery of the corresponding services (Domestic violence in the workplace, 2012). Company’s Policies and Ethical Dilemmas It would be wrong to assume, however, that the company, with its rigid moral polities and ethical standards, does not have to deal with any moral dilemmas whatsoever; quite on the contrary, facing a range of issues related to child health, the organization must make very complicated choices on a regular basis. Seeing that the organization’s decision must be indispensable and at the same time must align with the set of moral principles, which PADV members comply with, it is crucial that the required choices
Atlantic Canada is made up of four provinces. The region is physically diverse. The well-manicured features of Prince Edward Island and the agricultural areas of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick contrast with the ruggedness of Newfoundland and Labrador (McGee, 2002). In the region, there is no centralization of financial activities. Since the early settlers arrived in the region, the fish industry has always attracted many businesspersons. Similarly, its hydrocarbon resources have offered bright prospects. The problems that the people may have faced have served as a unifying factor for the residents. This article focuses on how the history of Atlantic Canada has been informed of necessity and hardship occasion not only on new materials forms but a verbal and customary expression. Based on the course work, it is apparent that the history of Atlantic Canada derives some of its distinctive characteristic features from several things, such as needs, adversity occasions, and verbal and customary expressions. The Aboriginal people settled in Atlantic Canada for thousands of years ago. It is believed that the region’s geographical position has molded parts of its history. The earliest Europeans to visit the region, the Vikings, were on an adventure sailing from Iceland to Greenland. After the Vikings visit, it took the Europeans several centuries to make another visit to the region. After the discovery of the Americas, the accounts and the chronicles by the men who discovered the New World amazed the Europeans of the 16th and 17th centuries. Europe, with its long history, suddenly realized a need to learn more about the people of the New World. It did not take long before some Europeans moved and settled in the New World, which comprised Atlantic Canada. As the population in the New World had increased, there was a need for Europeans to extend their territories. Way before the Europeans migrated to Atlantic Canada and other parts of Northern America, the population in Europe could be supported by its natural resources. However, when the population increased to the level that it could not be supported by its natural resources, there was a necessity to move some of its inhabitants to the New World. Concerning necessity, it can also be argued that the early European settlers’ desire to discover precious metals in North America led them to Atlantic Canada. Through their expedition, they contributed immensely to the history of the region. For instance, several Canadian historical, literary works assert that some of the first voyages in the region were searching for gold. Through these expeditions, the French influence in the region was initiated. In the later fight between the English and the French, the region played a strategic part (Slumkoski, 2011). Through the above arguments, it is clear that necessity contributed immensely to the history of Atlantic Canada. Similarly, hardship benefited the distinctive nature of Atlantic Canada in several ways. Life of the first European settlers in the region was demanding in many ways. As such, these individuals underwent tremendous hardships and faced severe challenges. The winters were chilly, long, and hoary.
Canon in D is considered the most famous work by German Baroque composer and belongs to chamber music compositions that are now popular during wedding ceremonies. The music work is quite unusual. Despite the fact it was composed in the second half of the seventeenth century, it was forgotten and recovered only at the end of the twentieth century (Hoffer 104). Since then, more than a hundred versions of this musical piece have been presented. Cannon in D combines two completely different techniques in composing. It is based on a ground bass consisting of eight notes of equal length, there are twenty-seven melodic variations performed over the ground bass. They occur in three sections, one following each beat in precise imitation (Hoffer 104). Originally, the piece is performed for one continuo and three violins. However, the composition is played by continuo and a string orchestra. Although the piece has many melodic variations, it is based on an 8-measure pattern that repeats throughout the entire composition. This pattern is an ostinato that contributes to the hypnotic feature of the music piece. At the very beginning, the music starts with andante moderate, when three violins play eight beats interchangeably.

The second violin goes after eight beats later, and finally, the last violin goes after the second violin.                                                  0:26    A Major  The first violin performs two notes to the rhythm.                                                                                                                                                                                  0:43    A Major  For notes are played to the beat.                                                                                                                                                                                                   1:00    B Minor  Violin is accompanied by submediant, which slightly differs from the dominant tone, but it is still lower than the median.

Introduction Ireland supports an open and transparent business climate which could be attributed to the country’s wide, bipartisan political support for policies which encourage business growth. The necessary government officials are easily accessible and general economic policies are encouraging. Moreover, the country has an open economy that welcomes and relies heavily on international trade. This means introduction of products and services into this market is easy and regular marketing and distribution practices are used. E-commerce has been well received by both the government and business fraternity. Irish buyers welcome high quality products and services and are very loyal when they are satisfied (Lambkin and Meenaghan 2004). A market is a group of people or organizations that may be interested in buying a company’s products but must have a need and are seeking a solution, are eligible to buy, have financial capacity to make a purchase and the authority to decide to buy. The company must also be able to provide the solutions the customers are seeking and orient its marketing strategy to the service of these potential customers (Rogan 2003). Jedward International Inc. manufactures and distributes natural oils that are of high quality and innovative. The introduction of Jedward hair gel into the Irish market as a test market is expected to be received well due to the reputation it has for high quality and creatively designed and manufactured natural oil products. The product is a hair gel designed to make the user feel good or cool which fits certain markets perfectly. Market segmentation Market segmentation will help Jedward international in identifying groups in the market with more specific needs and learn specific information about them so as to focus marketing strategies into these segments. This is done through the following; identifying segmentation variable such as demographic information, location and financial information. In this aspect the company identifies teenagers of between 17 and 21 years mainly college and high school students in urban areas and with limited financial capability since they depend on allowance and part time jobs so as to maximize on the sales and therefore the issue of cost is important. This group also appeals also because they have reached a stage where they are able to make their own decisions on what to use, wh
Situational analysis or introduction A good relationship must be built between the Wind Future and its publics. Wind Future is planning to build a wind farm to help in the generation of electricity. In conducting this exercise, they will use modern technology and they intend the farm to meet world standards. However, the key problem is that they want to build the structure along the sea near a resort. This is a public place in will elicit a lot of reactions and protests from the relevant stakeholders. The project comes at a time when there is intensive pressure on firms and industries to drastically cut down their carbon emissions and to develop sustainable and environmentally sensitive firms. Wind Future has done thorough research into the viability and practicality of the project and they have completed environmental studies on its location. Therefore, they anticipate that the energy produced by the turbines will be substantial and clean enough to power 10,000 homes. The projects viability is enhanced further by the support that it has received from the government. Relevant government organs have approved the project because its policies are attractive and are geared towards advancing environmental causes, such as clean power. The main challenge comes from its skepticism of the impact on the local environment and its publics who are the community. The project is positive in that it is likely to reduce unemployment through job creation; it will generate publicity for the location and it will lead to rapid industrial growth (Grunig & Hunt 2004). Despite the underlying benefits of the project, the local residents are outraged since they consider that it is likely to interfere with their tourism activities and will likely have an impact on biodiversity. This necessitates a public relations plan to enable the operations of WindFuture to proceed in a tranquil environment. The Windy City Council cannot stop the establishment of the Wind Future project but must assure the local community that it is taking proper care of its affairs. Objectives of the Public Relations Exercise Public Relations strategies should be implemented to ensure the effectiveness and productivity of the company’s work and to highlight changes made to enhance its image (Lindsay 2004, p. 155). In support of Windy City Council marketing objectives and community relations, the following objectives of its PR plans are:  1. To increase the council’s recognition and credibility. Wind Future needs to be accepted by the community for it to operate smoothly. Through PR, it is likely to advertise itself to be reco
The gospel has a large influence on how I live my life. I try to incorporate its teachings into my life and ensure that my actions reflect the doctrines of Jesus Christ. I strive to embody the gospel of Christ by developing traits such as honesty, integrity, self-control, and fairness. Sometimes, it is difficult to live in a manner that upholds the gospel. For instance, I occasionally struggle with self-discipline and neglect my body by not exercising or getting enough sleep. During such times, the gospel reminds me that Jesus and the apostles also faced challenges that they had to overcome to please God. Additionally, as a Christian, I am aware that other people observe my actions to see if they are in line with the gospel. I aim to represent Christ to the best of my capacity and set a good role model for others. In this way, the implications of the gospel affect how I live my life. I can also communicate that the gospel is not just a point in time or a set of teachings, but a way of life. The way we live our lives reflects our understanding of and reverence for the gospel (Senior, 2020). In the modern era, living a life that reflects the gospel entails standing up for what a person believes in. For instance, such a life involves shunning and speaking against the unfair treatment of other people as Jesus did. This calls us to condemn unfair societal acts such as racism, classism, and sexism. Although it is impossible to live a wholly righteous life, an honest attempt to do upholds the gospel. When we do our part to live according to the gospel, we influence others around us to emulate us. Reference Senior, D. C. P. (2020). Gospel Interpretation and Christian Life by Francis J. Moloney, SDB . The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 82 (2), 346-348. Web.
Advertisements are the powerful tools to draw the audience’s attention to the definite product or service and influence the customers’ attitude to the brand. Effective advertisements need to contribute to increasing the customer loyalty in relation to the definite product or brand. That is why, much attention is paid to the visual and verbal codes provided in the advertisement because they should evoke certain emotions and reactions in order to stimulate the product or service selling (Rayner, Wall, & Kruger, 2004). To understand the particular features of the advertisement in relation to its impact on the target audience, it is important to pay attention to the printed advertisement developed by Lexus for the Western audience and markets to promote 2013 LS F SPORT ( Lexus LS Marketing, 2012). The advertisement provides both the visual and written messages to attract the audience to the product and evoke the desired associations which can be effective to stimulate the customer in choosing this product instead of the other one. The advertisement represents a car of the discussed model as the centre of the illustration’s composition. A man and a woman are walking on near the car. They are physically attractive and fashionably dressed. The woman is looking at the man. The background is formed by the people participating in the party who can be observed behind the glass wall. Different tones of the metallic grey and green colours are used in the picture. The above-mentioned details provide the description of the visual part of the advertisement without references to its meaning. Thus, this description adds to the discussion of the advertisement’s denotative meaning (Rayner, Wall, & Kruger, 2004). However, it is significant to pay attention to all the details of the picture in order to discuss the connotative meaning of the advertisement. These attractive man and woman can be discussed as the owners of the top-class car. The persons’ facial expressions emphasize the feeling of pride in relation to owning the deluxe car. The woman is looking at the man
