To Refresh Your Perspective, Head Outdoors

in The Communication Age: Connecting and Engaging 3rd edition by Edwards, Edwards, Wahl, and Myers

Spending time in the serenity of nature is a wonderful way to escape the stress and craziness of everyday life. Many people spend all day connected to their various devices, gazing at multiple screens, rapidly switching between apps and platforms to maintain numerous ongoing conversations and relationships. This constant connectivity can make you feel hurried, overloaded, unable to focus, and inadequate. Feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem are especially common when people engage in social comparison on social networking sites (Vogel, Rose, Roberts, & Eckles, 2014). Sometimes, the best thing to do is to leave the devices behind and get outside to enjoy fresh air, sunlight, and the sights and sounds of the natural world.

Whether it’s a hike in the woods, a dip in the ocean, or a stroll through the grass, research demonstrates that device-free time outdoors can positively impact physical, mental, and emotional health. Exploring nature is a great way to sharpen your senses, quietly reflect and consolidate your memories. It is especially good for increasing creativity, problem-solving ability, and insight (Atchley, Strayer, & Atchley, 2012), as well as concentration (Berman, Jonides, & Kaplan, 2008).

Time in nature can also elevate your mood and enhance your self-concept. Research shows that spending time in nature is associated with decreased levels of stress and mental illness (Coon et al., 2011), especially depression and anxiety, and increased levels of self-esteem (Barton & Pretty, 2010).

Unplug and appreciate the beauty of nature often to protect yourself from the potential downsides of heavy and prolonged use of communication technologies. You’ll emerge with clearer perspective and heightened self-awareness that you can bring to the rest of your day’s activities and communication encounters.

What To Do Next:

To make the most of your time outdoors, try to:

• Find out if your university, neighborhood, or city maintains trails, park systems, or nature preserves. Many college and university campuses include nature conservancies or beautiful outdoor grounds.
• Take a scenic walk or bike path to your destination when you need fresh perspective or a boost to your mood or self-esteem.
• Switch off the smartphone while you’re out there. Tune in to the sounds, sights, and smells around you.
• Be fully present in the moment. If your mind travels elsewhere, gently and patiently return your awareness to your natural surroundings.
• Consider making offline time in nature a replenishing daily ritual.

watch the film Mean Girls (either the original 2006 film or the 2023 musical remake staring Rene Rapp) and identify other scenes (NOT discussed in my video lecture), that identify how the characters are using the Functional Perspective of Communication. Use my video lesson for help

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a-1Qw3GlCY This is the link for the lecture

Identify and explain a scene where the characters are using communication to “manage relationships.” Remember, you cannot use the scene I explained in the video lecture. Please write a minimum of three sentences

Identify and explain a scene where the characters are using communication to “influence others.” Remember, you cannot use the scene I explained in the video lecture. Please write a minimum of three sentences.

Identify and explain a scene where the characters are using communication to “express affiliation.” Remember, you cannot use the scene I explained in the video lecture. Please write a minimum of three sentences.

1) Find a speech (no specific length, but pick something meaty enough that you can discuss it at length). You can go to famous historical examples, although fair warning, a lot of people have already done MLK’s “I Have a Dream.” If you are looking for something lighter or more recent, YouTube is simply lousy with “TED Talks”, brief informative speeches on a vast array of topics. 2) Analyze its content using the methods we have been discussing: what is the speaker, the audience, and the medium for this message? Also, how does it employ Pathos, Ethos, and Logos? If one of the three rhetorics is absent then that is fine, but you should note that it is absent. If a speech has loads of emotion but no logic, that is worthy of commentary. 3) In conclusion, explain whether or not you think the speech effectively communicates its point. Please note, the point is not whether you AGREE with the message or not. For example, there are some politicians whose views I absolutely oppose, but who I would credit as excellent speakers and debaters. If you do agree then that’s fine, but rather than getting distracted by how YOU feel about the message, instead focus on how most other people would respond. Why would it appeal to a mass audience, whether or not it appeals to you?

My capstone paper examines the relationship between genetic disorders and communication development, with a focus on how genetic differences influence speech, language, and social communication skills. The paper explores the biological and neurological foundations of communication impairments, including how genetic factors affect expressive language, receptive language, and social interaction abilities. Through a review of peer-reviewed research, I analyze developmental patterns, underlying mechanisms, and the variability in communication outcomes among individuals with genetic conditions. The purpose of this paper is to deepen understanding of how genetics contributes to communication differences and to highlight the importance of early identification, assessment, and intervention. This research is especially relevant to the field of speech-language pathology, as it supports clinicians in providing effective, individualized care for individuals with genetic-related communication disorders.
