 In the Introduction to Communication class, my classmates and I organized ourselves to make a power point presentation and even a presentation on certain topics that our teacher Sherri Sinkoff gave us to choose from. The university platform had a series of documents within its modules that were going to help us, based on the assigned chapter, to be able to define what each person in our group would do and how the topics would be carried out by everyone made up of it. I belong to group number one, therefore we had to be more than ready since at the time we thought that we could be the first to appear before the class with all the audiovisual materials. We all got to work, and everyone did their part to make a great presentation. 

In each presentation of each group, not only topics referring to chapters that have to do with the content of the subject were explained, but also arguments that helped to understand it, so that the person who did not belong to that presentation could be aware. What they were talking about and what it was all about. All of them had good audiovisual support material, significant use of vocabulary and good control of the content itself that facilitated their understanding. My group was in turn in charge of presenting a series of topics referring to chapter number 3. This was a chapter that covered a lot of cultural issues and their relationship with communication, which I found fascinating and at the same time complicated, because the same communication varies depending on the same culture in each country. I feel like it was an exceptionally good chapter to develop a lot of ideas and the content was certainly quite extensive. Our idea as a group was to make a transcendental presentation, with relevant content and with many good things to offer on an intellectual level. The mission was not only to captivate, but to inspire those who want to know and fill themselves with knowledge of immense value and importance. 

We prepared and we were meticulous when presenting the content, to make it engage and pleasing to the eye. It was all a question of organization, audience study and the desire to do things correctly. The content was made with an informative purpose, which was relevant and interesting, so it was also necessary to solidify our information with firm arguments and bases. The impact was to raise awareness of each culture that is around us and truly analyze in a certain way the behavior that we human beings have in the different scenarios that we encounter in our daily lives. We try to focus on how we perceive information and draw inspiration from our own cultures and experiences. 

Speaking from personal experience, I loved working with my team. We knew how to organize and distribute the content, although we made some mistakes in repeating material and some were not so responsible when it came to the presentation, however we knew how to give our best. Regarding the other presentations, everyone knew how to do an excellent job in terms of content, audiovisual, it was inspiring, moving, and informative. Clearly there were things with which I was familiar, but many others were not and without a doubt it is always good to learn new things. I feel that something that helps us a lot to learn is the audiovisual material and the person who explains it and I feel that this is something that helps us teenagers a lot, not only because of the fact that everyone knew what they were talking about, But many times it is easier for one to understand certain topics when someone who is contemporary with you explains it to you. 

We all learned about things we did not know, we helped each other and together we learned new things thanks to our teacher. Honestly, I do not have any negative comments in mind or anything that I did not like, the contents were interesting, and I find it incredible to learn something new every day with concrete information. I appreciate the chance to learn every day from these types of classes related to my Associate in my college journey. Learning is the basis of everything and without a doubt something that differentiates us from everything else.

  Learning about our societies disabilities     The first group to present was group 3, they had chapter 4, 11, 12, 13, & 14 for the study guide. They had a really good layout for their study guide, they all gave good summaries on what the chapters were about and they also separated it by even small chapters instead of doing one chapter per person they took the time to divide it evenly with everyone in the group. As for their presentation they had Anxiety. The most important thing i learned is Anxiety is a mental health disorder categorized by the feeling of fear and uneasiness. Anxiety has been around for a long time since the 1600s but it took doctors a long time to discover anxiety and understand what it was. People have different understandings and opinions about anxiety, there are a lot of cultures in which believe that anxiety isn't real, and there are also others who have anxiety in which practice yoga and drink tea to help them when they get anxious. There are...

Hi everyone!!!!   2    Welcome to blog #2. In today’s blog I will be giving another reflection about me and my classmates groups presentation I’d like to share the experience my classmates and I journey on preparing and delivering our recent project. This experience was not just about presenting information; it was about collaboration, learning. Overcoming any challenges together. From the initial planning stages to the final delivery, our group navigated the complexities of teamwork, research, and public speaking. Join me as I reflect on our process, the highs and lows we encountered, and the invaluable lessons we learned along the way.               The backstory to this assignment is that each group was assigned a certain topic. Each group had to complete a PowerPoint linked to the topic to one of the themes. Everyone came together and was responsible for gathering information about several common mental health disabilities. Fo...

 I  would like to say the PowerPoint was very amazing and detailed i love the groups expressed themselves the first group the second group was interesting because they were very informative, i thought my groups disscusion on certain learning disabilities was interesting because of the fact that i see these behaviors in people in my everyday life its like putting on glasses that no one can see, i love how group one honestly worked together as well as the brocher and how put together it was i love it, on to group 2 group 2’s project was phenomenally well done i honestly loved their group. group 3 was so informative group 3 has always been vocal love that but most importantly  Trying to comprehend and relate to the experiences and viewpoints of people from different cultures is one way to show empathy. Group 2: Everyone in Group 2 did an excellent job of describing each and every slide throughout their once-again educational presentation! Group 3's discussion on autism was...
