  Group 3: Healthcare and Education.  Group three discussed both the advantages and disadvantages of it. The reduction of yearly deaths would be one advantage of free healthcare. According to a Harvard study, there are about 44,789 deaths each year that are directly related to healthcare access. Rudy Romero made this claim on one of the presentation's opening slides. It was beneficial that he brought up this topic in his presentation since it demonstrates how the American people are impacted by the lack of free healthcare. Whatever political party you are affiliated with, what matters is what you do to assist in resolving this problem. If we everyone had access to healthcare, countless lives could be saved.Vladimir would then discuss homeschooling, which was unexpected but made for intriguing reading. Ramon would discuss educational planning, which is also crucial to us students. The final presenter would be Rose, and I really enjoyed what she did. She was kind enough to provi...

Blog 2 Group Presentation Luis Contreras SPC1017

 Luis Contreras    There are so many controversial topics nowadays. For my SPC class, we were divided into groups and were given the task of researching some of these topics. All the groups had a couple of weeks to do their research. Once that time was up it was time to present. The order in which we were to present was Group Three first, Group Two second, and lastly Group One. Since Group Three was the first to present let's talk about them first.     Group 3 was given the topics of Free Healthcare and Changes in Healthcare Policies. For a long time, free healthcare has been a controversial topic. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in favor or against it. There are benefits to having free healthcare. Group three talked about all the benefits and downsides of it. Some of the benefits of free healthcare would be the prevention of yearly deaths. “A study conducted by Harvard researchers states that not having healthcare causes around 44,789 deaths yearly.” This was ...

Blog 2 Themes presentation-Gabriella Garcia

  Healthcare and education-Group 3 I like group 3 themes a lot and I wish I would have been in class and responded in person. Both of these topics are very important to us students. This is especially true when it comes to education. I really like that when they talked about healthcare they did not just talk about the benefits of free healthcare or the disadvantages. Rudy would also talk about the politics of free healthcare. There however was a sharp turn when the next person would present as there didn't seem to be a connection to what was said before. But I do like what Isabella presented as you could see it as a mix of both education and healthcare since psychotherapy is part of healthcare and many people who are in an educational setting might need this. Samantha was next to present and her topic was very interesting especially when you think of what has happened these past few years. Samantha knows the information very well, and when she would connect this again to politics l...

Alexander Granados Communication is a valuable and critical strategy in our daily lives. As humans being, we must communicate with one another to pass a different point of view of information regarding many things that may be of interest. If communication didn’t exist we wouldn’t know how to understand the messages of other individuals. I believe that this class has made me realize how important it exchanges words in return for information with other people. As an example, I am a very open person, but I will and must say that communicating with other people is quite a challenge at first, especially those who do not know to have a conversation with others individuals. Having a project like this one was relatively nothing new all due to past experience in high school having to present to others in class or online. Nevertheless, I learned in addition that while communicating is critical, working together is also very important because it increases work performance and improves your overal...

Isabella Sanchez Why Communication Is Important: 👇       Everyone's daily life revolves around communication, thus learning the many forms of communication is helpful. I hated public speaking and was quite shy before enrolling in my speech class. I now feel more comfortable expressing myself after witnessing everyone else's presentations and learning about the various components of communication. Additionally, I think that many students were able to communicate more freely as a result of the presentations. I'm eager to see how much this class will help me overcome my shyness and, hopefully, keep giving me the self-assurance to speak up without fear.  Communication is shared through many different ways  The study of communication between people from varied social and cultural backgrounds, as well as how culture affects communication, is known as intercultural communication. A crucial aspect of being human is communication, which is also a basic social requi...

 Joseph Padron                                                        The Importance of Communication               Before, I even started to speak about the presentations individually and state what I enjoyed about each of them I wanted to talk about communication. Every presentation we did had different topics although we had one thing in common we all spoke in some way shape or form about communication. Through the three presentations, I learned various things about communication and its importance in everyday life. Communication is very essential as it is our way to learn how to express ourselves and explain things to others effective communication is a key to success in whatever you do in life. Although at first, I did not know what to expect from this class as we have begun ...

My Reflection on Chapters 3, 9, and 10

Jose Escobedo      As our society is moving towards a more globalized world, proper communication is more important than ever. In my opinion, being able to deal with people from all cultures and backgrounds has become important, and this means being able to communicate effectively across different cultures as well as cooperate in groups and problem solve together.     It is for these reasons why I hope to learn as much as I can from my introduction to speech and communication class, where it can help teach me a lot about how to properly express my view points to other people and to be effective as part of a larger group towards reaching our goals together. Three groups in our class created some excellent presentations and I really feel that I learned a lot from it. Chapter 3 - Intercultural Communication    Different cultures may have different languages which may present barriers.      The chapter 3 presentation dealt with inter-c...
