Communication



THE BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE

-> Improve your vocabulary by reading as often as you can. People who communicate effectively usually have a strong grasp of language and an outstanding vocabulary. It is often difficult to express thoughts because you cannot find the right words. The simple act of reading will naturally grow your vocabulary, giving you a better shot at coming up with the exact words you need at the exact time you need them.

->Try to focus on the point that you are trying to express devoid of emotion. Oftentimes, when you debate or argue as a couple or family, egos get bruised causing defensive behavior and language that was not your original intent. This only leads to confusion and misunderstandings. As soon as you feel your emotions welling up, or feelings of defensiveness arising, try to immediately focus on your original idea or point, and try to express it using different language, rather than jumping on an insulting comment. Once your point is expressed clearly and understood, your partner in debate, may retract the hurtful remark, and you will have reached a better place of understanding.

>Listen. While staying on the task of expressing your own thoughts is key, doing so without listening to others negates any progress you have made in communicating effectively. When your spouse, family member or friend is speaking, focus on what the other person is saying, without planning what you will say to combat his thoughts, at least until he is finished speaking. This way you will have a greater chance of speaking coherently about what you have just heard, and a much greater chance of your thoughts being well received and clearly understood.
> Speak with passion. When giving a speech or presentation at work, the first step to communicating clearly is caring about the topic. Understandably this may not be possible at all times, but do your best to stimulate your own interest in the subject that you are speaking about prior to the big day.

> Stay in the moment. This is probably the best way to communicate effectively in any circumstance. It can be so very easy to let any number of things take your mind off of what you are talking about. Try to ignore what may appear to be negative responses on people's faces, because most of the time, people are completely unaware that they are making such faces. Inside they might be thinking how incredible your speech has been, and hanging on your every word. Appearances can be incredibly deceiving. The most successful people in every area of life, from acting to accounting, to fatherhood, have learned to stay in the moment, captivated by what is happening in the present, and avoiding letting their minds deviate from that moment in time.

EMO MUSIC-YOUTH CULTURE


Breaking is a street dance style that evolved as part of the hip hop movement among African American and Latino American youths in Manhattan and the South Bronx of New York City during the early 1970s. It is normally danced to hip hop music, often remixed to prolong the breaks , and is a well known hip hop dance style. Break-dancing involves the dance elements of top rock, down rock, freezes, and power moves. A break-dancer, breaker, b-boy or b-girl refers to a person who practices break-dancing.

Schloss also states that, the term is also problematic on a practical level break dancing is often used as an umbrella term that includes not only b-boy but locking, and other so called funk-style dances that originated in California, and says that the break dance is often used disparagingly. A break dancer is someone who has learned the dance for mercenary reasons, while a b-boy has learned it through a commitment to the culture.


However, referring to the terms "break dancer" and "break dancing," hip-hop scholar Joseph Schloss in the book "Foundation B-boys, B-girls, And Hip-Hop Culture In New York" states the term break dancing connotes exploitation and disregard for the dance's roots in hip-hop culture, most feel that the term was part of a larger attempt by the mass media to recast their raw street dance as a nonthreatening form of musical acrobatics, one of the first things that beginning b-boys or b-girls learn from their peers is not to refer to the practice as "break dancing," and "those who are unfamiliar with the culture may be surprised at the vehemence of b-boys feelings about the term.
