Instructions
The following are the best practices for creating your speech presentation:

• Title Slide: Include the title, audience (who you prepared the presentation for – school or institution), the presenter who prepared it and will be the speaker, and date.
• Attention-Getter: Give the audience a reason to pay attention. Make them want to listen to your speech.
• Overview: List the main ideas and sections of your presentation for the following purposes:
  • To introduce the subject and why the subject is important.
  • To preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered.
  • To establish the tone of the presentation.
  • To include the questions you think your audience might have about your topic – questions you will answer during your presentation.
• Body of the Presentation: Include the information you found during your research and investigation and organize it in a visually pleasing manner.
  • Break out each main idea you will use in the body of your presentation.
  • Show some type of division like levels of headers or titles
  • Separate groups of bullets for the presentation.
  • Use a header for the title of your presentation or subtitle of the section.
  • Then, proceed to break out the main ideas. State the main idea, state major subpoints in each main idea, and provide evidence for each subpoint.
  • Cite your evidence, quotes, and statistics within your presentation, and use in-text citations in APA format.
• Summary and Conclusion: Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your outline or presentation. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the thesis statement of the outline and main objective of the presentation.
• References: Use the APA citation format. The illustrations should be included with your resources. APA tutorials are available in the Chamberlain University library.
  • At least 4 authoritative, outside scholarly sources are required from Week 5 outline. (Anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable.)
  • Appropriate citations within the presentation are required on the last slide. Just copy and paste this from the last page of your outline – the references page. References should be in APA format.
    • Each resource should be entirely double spaced.
    • All entries must use hanging indents – the first line is flush left, and all the rest are indented.
  • All Chamberlain University policies are in effect including the plagiarism policy.
• Additional Hints
• Use a minimum of 5 visual aids to further clarify and support the written part of your presentation. You could use example graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts.

INTRODUCTION

 

Introduction: Effective communication within the society is a very important characteristics of strong healthy bond, ties among individuals within a given population. This fact has been proven by many research papers which has identified communication as a very important factor in relationships between married couples, child – parents, siblings and friends, relatives and even co-workers. Therefore, recognizing the importance of communication is the first step in developing a positive societal culture. Interpersonal communication refers to the way verbal and non-verbal information is exchanged among individuals, coworker, and family members and it involves the ability to pay attention to what others are thinking and feeling (Peterson, 2005). Hence, the absence of high-quality communication skills can lead to an unstable interaction among people living in a given environment.

BODY

I. Communication is important in relationships as it allows us to share our interest, concerns, support each other, organize our lives and make effective decisions: and it allows us to work together

A. Reaching family understandings because “while they may not all agree, they may begin to understand more about the reasons why members of the family do what they do or say what they say” (Hardy, 2020).

1. Sharing what each other believes among the members of the family helps to

Create family understanding.

2. Each member learns and understands what others feel is right.

3. Respecting each other and each other’s feelings helps create unity.

B. Encourages support among individuals because “effective communication within a

given population helps every one of its members through the good and bad times

(Hardy, 2020)

1. Every member of a family, society, understands what each member needs which makes providing support for one another possible.

2. Providing a listening hear and a shoulder to knee on helps and encourages others in the society

3. Discourages cheap gossips among family members and individuals within a given population, which often causes problems.

C. Increases love and creates tighter bonds among family members and among individuals within a given population.

1. Effective communication creates trust among family members and individuals

Within a given population

2. Encourages societal and family members to see their family, friends as a shelter

To run to during crisis

 

II. The interpersonal communication is a learned skill, that can be improved with knowledge and practice. What makes these skills necessary is that they allow you to express your thoughts, feelings and, any information quickly and orderly

A. A model is a simplified representation of complex interrelationship among elements of communications processes that allow people to visually understand a sometimes-complex process. Interpersonal communication models or patterns which includes three communication types (Adler & Rodman, 1997, p.5 [1]). The Interpersonal Communication Patterns model is subdivided into 3 communication types:

1. Linear Model

2. Interactional Model

3. Transactional Model

B. More also, IPC is based on a fundamental principle which includes, IPC is inevitable principle, irreversible, unrepeatable,

1. First, and this goes back to the principle enlisted above, interpersonal communication is inevitable. This means that we can’t avoid communicating. Whether it’s through talking, facial expressions, or body language, we’re always communicating. Imagine what our social world would be like without communication. Difficult to do, right?

2. Interpersonal communication is also irreversible. In other words, once you say it, it’s said! You can’t take back something you say to another person. If you say something hurtful or rude to someone, you can apologize for it later, but you can’t undo the fact that you said it. In today’s world the same is true for social media – if you put something out there and people see it, you can’t undo that

3. Next, interpersonal communication is unrepeatable. This one might seem a little odd. Certainly, you can always repeat something you said, right? In this case, unrepeatable is getting more at the context where communication happens. You can never recreate the exact situation where you delivered a message. This is kind of like the old saying: ‘You never get a second chance to make a first impression.’ (Lay, 2005)

 

 

C. Fundamental dimensions of interpersonal communication which are conversation orientation and conformity orientation. (Koerner & Fitzpatrick, 2002)

1. Conversation orientation is characterized by frequent, spontaneous, unconstrained interactions.

2. Conformity orientation is characterized by uniformity of beliefs and attitudes.

 

III. The roles of interpersonal communication in a given population and how lack of communication effects general population.

A. Effective communication within the society leads to

1. Improved relationships

2. Increased Respect

3. Less friction between family members, individuals within a given population

4. Success within the family and among individuals within a given population.

B. Factors that are involved in effective interpersonal communication.

1. Effective listening

2. Adjusting for situations

3. Circumstances and age.

C. Effects of interpersonal communication barriers and measures to overcome barriers of interpersonal communication barriers among individuals.

1. Common barriers to effective communication among individuals within a given population.

a. The use of jargon. Overcomplicated or unfamiliar terms

b. Emotional barriers, interest, distraction, or irrelevance to the receiver

c. Differences in perception and viewpoint

d. Physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties

e. Language differences and the difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents

f. Physical barriers to non-verbal communication

g. Expectations and prejudices which may lead to false assumptions or stereotyping. People often hear what they expect to hear rather than what is actually said and jump into incorrect conclusions.

h. Cultural differences. The norm of social interaction varies greatly in different cultures, as do the way in which emotions are expressed. For example, the concept of personal space varies between cultures and between different social setting

i. False assumptions

 

2. Measures to overcoming communication barriers among individuals.

a. Active listening

b. Use simple language

c. Bridging cultural differences gap

d. Focusing

e. Maintaining eye contact

f. Restating and paraphrasing when necessary

g. Affirmation

h. Avoid false assumptions

i. Give constructive feedback

Concluding remarks: Our most precious relationships in life are those we create with members of the society we interact with. Communication is a key to successful healthy and proper functioning relationship among individuals within our society and families.

Is it not time your family took an inventory of how well it is doing?
