BUSI 2080W - Darryl Halim

     My group was talking about evaluation and descriptive defensiveness. An example of evaluative behavior we discussed is when people are in an argument, constantly pointing out each other’s wrongs and rights. On the other hand, the  example of descriptive behavior can be when someone is more calm and collected, someone who will assessed and observing the situation first before reacting.

  This is me during the first week of my classes. I am mostly an introverted person, although I enjoy it, sometimes it's really important to communicate with others. Active listening is key.

 In this class we learn about organizations as a communication systems. There are 10 principles to ensure that information management activities are effective and successful. One of the principles that I pick for my free creation is Principle 8: Communicate extensively. While I think communicate extensively is beneficial, it can also be a double-edged sword. I think communicate extensively is needed yes. Making it available for all the parties for them to be aware is definitely key. However, I think exposing them to all the same information will make them fatigue and I do not think it will be sufficient. I think communicate effectively is a a better principle to apply.

 

  This is the picture that I pick for the exercise today. I first saw this picture around 2016 as a photo winner for wildlife photo contest I think. Three tools to analyze an image: modality ("the input") A photograph about white rhino, an endangered species that almost goes to extinction. verisimilitude ("its realness") Look real, blended in to the background. I can tell that the white rhino look lonely. claim about the world ("the argument") This picture shows the white rhino camouflages to the nature. I think the message here is to save the endangered species that still around as they are on the edge of extinction.
