2nd Presentation reflections

 Presentation 2 reflections

Introduction- The second presentation has brought to my attention topics that I never took a second to even bat an eye to. From the importance of good eating and how that can affect your health, to the importance of doing good things in this world to make the world a better place. I feel like the importance of these topics can't be ignored and everyone should be aware of the effects of these things. And, we should all make an effort to become better by applying such things into our lives. 



Group 1- The first group's topic was on "good eating". The entire objective of their speech was to point out the importance of not just throwing junk food at your body which I am very guilty of. Our bodies are like temples, and as they say, you are what you eat. Not only does the food we eat affect our body health, but it can have drastic effects on our minds too. When all you throw is garbage at your temple you may feel more tired, moody, and unmotivated with a lack of energy. These are all things we should try to avoid to be at peak mental health. But, not only is our mental health affected, our bodies slowly start to deteriorate over years of neglect from our eating habits. With an increase in heart diseases and diabetes, these are things a terrible diet can do to your health. That's why the importance of good eating is so prominent in today's world where it's so easy to go down the wrong path in your diet.



Group 2- The second group is the group I'm a part of. Our topic was "Self-care". I had never thought self-care could cause such an impact on our lives but the importance can't be overlooked. I was in charge of the statistics section, and let me tell you the data doesn't lie. Every study had shown an increase in happiness, motivation, and less anxiety when the subjects did acts of self-care. The research truly showed me the importance of it. The biggest issue is many people would forget, not have the money or time for such things. I believe that everyone should truly take the time occasionally to treat themselves with self-care, it would make everyone's lives much better. There are so many types of self-care, there's a section for pretty much anyone and everyone.



Group 3- The third group was in charge of the topic of "paying it forward". The importance of doing something good for someone. The world we live in is becoming more cold and the rise of technology is distancing humans, there has been no better time in history to pay it forward. The goal is not for you to expect something back yourself, but for your actions to create a domino effect that continues long after what you did to slowly make the world a better place. I feel like humans as a whole are becoming better at this, I'd say the world over the past century has become more aware of itself and it's actions, There are so many different non-profit organizations with the actual goal of helping people in need and it goes far beyond that. I do still feel like humans could be selfish at times and disregard others and that's why I feel like this topic is important for everyone to be aware of. Even the smallest thing like giving money to the person begging at an intersection can cause a chain effect that you may not be aware of.



Conclusion- During this series of presentations, I learned many things I thought may never be of importance. You could say, it even opened my eyes to topics I was never even aware of. Before these presentations, I didn't even know what "paying it forward" was. Or even how important self-care is until I dove deeper into the research side of things and discovered for myself the impact it can have on someone's mental health. These topics truly have awoken a new part of me that's actually aware of the importance to actually care. Every group had amazing presentations and I learned a lot. I'm especially proud of my team. We truly went above and beyond and did way better than I expected. I always get a little nervous before my turn to speak in front of everyone, but knowing my team was right behind me puts me at ease. It truly was a group effort and everyone did their part, which I'm glad of. Everything considered, I learned a lot this project not only about myself but about the world in general. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be a part of this group and learn so much.

 Reflection on Group Presentations In class, all groups had to present on different yet interesting topics, but all dealing with the same idea, communication. Communicating effectively is most probably one of the most important things, when it comes to things like relationships, work settings, school settings etc. No matter whether the type of communication is nonverbal or verbal it's still important to have communication, and to be good at it.  Personally, I think I have good communication and social skills, I can talk to people very easily new or not, and I can communicate effectively when it comes to work and school settings. It's a skill i'm proud I have naturally and didn't have to build courage to learn or overcome anything to get to how I am now. But communication doesn't only need to refer to group settings, it's also important to different cultures because of how many different languages there are in the world, and in todays world, knowing two languages

Presentation Reflection Introduction Let's delve into my reflections on three recent presentations I had the opportunity to attend. The topics covered a range of important subjects including intercultural communication, group communication, and group leadership with problem-solving. While my group took the lead on presenting Chapter 9, the presentation that truly captured my attention was Group 1’s insightful take on intercultural communication. Throughout this reflective piece, I'll dive into the specifics of each presentation. Chapter 3: Intercultural Communication. Chapter 3's exploration of intercultural communication was well made (in my opinion). The presenter accurately navigated through the details of cultural differences, communication styles, and their profound impacts on our daily interactions. What truly elevated the presentation were the real-life examples that breathed life into abstract concepts, making them tangible and relatable to the audience. Moreover,

  Reflection On Group Presentation In My Opinion Each group had their own magic while presenting, and each person had a different way of aproaching the class. My Favorite one was group 1 because of the way they presented, in my opinion they were the only group who tried to get the message that they were talking about across. Other gropus were just laughing, and didnt actually took the peresentation seriously. Chapter 3 Intercultural   Communications  Group 1 Talked about Chapter 3 Intercultural Communications: They explained that each culture has a different way of talking and that the way you talk is highly influenced on the environment you're raised in. Each culture Has its own values and morals, and other cultures may see them with different eyes, which makes morals and values perspectively. Interactions between people who don't share The same culture May sometimes be less effective, Than relationships between People who share the same culture, Cultural shocks are reactions
