  Working on this groups project taught me about teamwork and communication. As project manager I had the responsibility of helping everyone, which was easy. All the groups did a very good job of staying focused and organized. I do think I did a very good job at making everyone feel comfortable by asking me for help and letting them know I’m here to support them. Each group focused on influential people and important events that happened between years 1800’s to 2026. Some of the groups included historical figures such as Martin Luther King Jr, Ruby Bridges and Michael Jackson.

Chapter 3  Intercultural Communication      Group 1 went first, and Carlos Martinez opened everything up. His topic was Culture and Communication, and I actually learned things I didn't know before, which doesn't always happe...

 This project was a class presentation made into three groups, each group focused on communication, teamwork and leadership. I had the responsibility of helping my classmates stay organized and understanding their positions and what each person’s role was in their groups and helping them stay on track. After listening to each group and seeing them work together throughout the project I realized it was much more than just that. This presentation helped me understand how important communication is in everyday life and how affects teamwork between people. The first group focused on the nature of communication, communication context and communication sittings. They talked about how communication changes depending on the environment, situation and the people involved. Communication settings are interpersonal communication, group communication and public communication. This part of the presentation made me realize how people communicate differently depending on where they are and who’s a...
