Informative Speech

A good attention getter for a speech about Cuba is the restrictions imposed on American citizens to travel this tropical Island

Information kiosks are actually just monitors with informations on it. In many cases kiosks can do other functions- to accept payments, to print receipts, sell access codes etc.

I can suggest to visit a website of Opal Manufacturing, in the Solutions sections to get an ideas of different kiosk applications!

Communication is a process that involves exchange of information, thoughts, ideas and emotions. Communication is a process that involves a sender who encodes and sends the message, which is then carried via the communication channel to the receiver where the receiver decodes the message, processes the information and sends an appropriate reply via the same communication channel.

Types of Communication

Communication can occur via various processes and methods and depending on the channel used and the style of communication there can be various types of communication.

Types of Communication Based on Communication Channels

Based on the channels used for communicating, the process of communication can be broadly classified as verbal communication and non-verbal communication. Verbal communication includes written and oral communication whereas the non-verbal communication includes body language, facial expressions and visuals diagrams or pictures used for communication.

Verbal Communication

Verbal communication is further divided into written and oral communication. The oral communication refers to the spoken words in the communication process. Oral communication can either be face-to-face communication or a conversation over the phone or on the voice chat over the internet. Spoken conversations or dialogs are influenced by voice modulation, pitch, volume and even the speed and clarity of speaking. The other type of verbal communication is written communication. Written communication can be either via snail mail, or email. The effectiveness of written communication depends on the style of writing, vocabulary used, grammar, clarity and precision of language.

Nonverbal Communication

Non-verbal communication includes the overall body language of the person who is speaking, which will include the body posture, the hand gestures, and overall body movements. The facial expressions also play a major role while communication since the expressions on a person's face say a lot about his/her mood. On the other hand gestures like a handshake, a smile or a hug can independently convey emotions. Non verbal communication can also be in the form of pictorial representations, signboards, or even photographs, sketches and paintings.

Types of Communication Based on Style and Purpose

Based on the style of communication, there can be two broad categories of communication, which are formal and informal communication that have their own set of characteristic features.

Formal Communication

Formal communication includes all the instances where communication has to occur in a set formal format. Typically this can include all sorts of business communication or corporate communication. The style of communication in this form is very formal and official. Official conferences, meetings and written memos and corporate letters are used for communication. Formal communication can also occur between two strangers when they meet for the first time. Hence formal communication is straightforward, official and always precise and has a stringent and rigid tone to it.

Informal Communication

Informal communication includes instances of free unrestrained communication between people who share a casual rapport with each other. Informal communication requires two people to have a similar wavelength and hence occurs between friends and family. Informal communication does not have any rigid rules and guidelines. Informal conversations need not necessarily have boundaries of time, place or even subjects for that matter since we all know that friendly chats with our loved ones can simply go on and on.

Radio Broadcasting

Radio Broadcasting is the distribution of audio signals that transmit programs to an audience. There are wide varieties of broadcasting systems, all of which have different capabilities. It can vary from limited area coverage to national and can be used to transmit signals globally too, using retransmitted towers, satellite systems, and cable distribution. Satellite radio revolutionaries the entire scenario, it could cover even wider areas, such as entire continents, and Internet channels can distribute text or streamed music worldwide. In the late 1990s, digital transmissions began to be applied to broadcasting.

A broadcast may be distributed through several physical means. If coming directly from the studio at a single radio station, then it is simply sent to the transmitter from the antenna on the tower. Programming which comes through a satellite, played either live or recorded for transmission later. Different stations may simulcast the same programming at the same time. Usually analogue or digital tapes or CDs/DVDs are included in another broadcast. The final stage of broadcasting is to get the signal to the audiences. It is done via radio station to a receiver or through cable. Internet also brings radio to the recipient

Following are some of the points which should be taken into consideration for making the communication effective:

Speaking through eyes

The first thing that a good speaker does is first looks at the audience and takes a pause before beginning his speech. This helps to create good impression on the audience. While making the way through speech one must take care that he is not too lengthy. One must break his lengthy speeches to short and interesting ideas. A link should be maintained between consecutive statements. This helps to maintain the rhythm of flow of speech and keep the ears of audience towards him. Throughout the speech speaker should have maintain eye contact with the audience. Every reaction has equal and opposite reaction. So if the speaker doesn't maintain eye contact with the listeners they will feel that they are being ignored and it is quite likely that they also ignore whatever he is trying to convey.

Voice level

One more important thing while communicating is the level of voice that is he must be clear and audible to audience. A good voice can be strong point for being an effective speaker, although it's a natural gift but one can improve by skillful training and practice. Generally a good speaker knows with what tempo he should speak so that it's not too loud or too weak voice while speaking through amplifiers. Proper variation in pitch and tempo of the voice improves the quality of speech. Accurate pronunciation of words with due stresses wherever required must be done.

The speed with which the words are thrown must be such that audience can keep pace with them and are able to understand him. A thing that unknowingly happens with most of us is that we keep on repeating the words like "I mean"," you see"," etc. This may distract the audience.

Audience Awareness

To make our communication successful get the clue about the audience their interests. Following points should be noted:

1) Get the rough idea of the strength of the listeners.

2) Think over the age, sex, background and interest of the listeners.

3) See whether the audience is patient enough to handle you for hours. Check out if they are friendly or hostile.

4) Choose the approach that suits the audience.

5) Create a feeling such that each individual feels that the speaker is trying to talk with him and sharing the joy and sorrow of events with him.

6) Let the audience know depth of your knowledge regarding the subject.

7) Show your sincerity and whole heartedness for the subject.

8) To keep the communications healthy do keep cracking jokes in between such that the jokes should not be appeared to be deliberately told. They should relate to topic.

9) Concentrate on your ideas and do not get distracted by the activities performed by the audience e.g. smiling, whispering.

Facial expressions

Face is mirror of an individual's personality. Facial expressions reveal what thoughts are running through a persons mind. For e.g. a smile expresses friendliness and affection. Raised eye-brows show surprise and furrowed forehead conveys fear and anxiety. All the emotions and various types of human behavior bring different expressions on face. So while communicating see that the facial expressions reveal your interest for the subject on which you are communicating.

Postures

The body movements while speaking must coordinate with your convincing power. They must be such that they add to the things which are more effectively caught visually than verbally. For e.g. A head down shows the completion of a statement, raising of head indicates the end of the question. More frequent body movements reveal a state hurry or confusion in mind.

Dress Sense

The clothing plays an important role in presenting ourselves to society. The people who wear dress suitable to their body structure look attractive. A person's physical appearance and dress creates a definite impact on the communication process. A dress should be such that it is not too modern for the people whom we are interacting yet be able to create a positive impression on them.

These were the few things which many of us overlook but these small things contribute for effective communication. Regular follow up of these things will enhance the skill of communicating.

To give the details or arguments, that supports the main idea.

to persuade

Information technology is the exchanging of information over a virtual platform. Any data that is inputted into a processing system is exerted as information which as you can see is a very broad category.

Information technology is simply the term used for information and technology being used in unison, helping understand processed data more effectively, and as a method of sharing information over a wider framework than was thought possible.

Hope this helps.

Convertibility can be related as the extent to which a country's regulations allow free flow of money into and outside the country.

For instance, in the case of India till 1990, one had to get permission from the Government or RBI as the case may be to procure foreign currency, say US Dollars, for any purpose. Be it import of raw material, travel abroad, procuring books or paying fees for a ward who pursues higher studies abroad. Similarly, any exporter who exports goods or services and brings foreign currency into the country has to surrender the foreign exchange to RBI and get it converted at a rate pre-determined by RBI.

After liberalization began in 1991, the government eased the movement of foreign currency on trade account. I.e. exporters and importers were allowed to buy and sell foreign currency, as long as the items that they are exporting and importing were not in the banned list. They need not get permission on a CASE TO CASE basis as was prevalent in the earlier regime. This was the first concrete step the economy took towards making our currency convertible on trade account.

In the next two to three years, government liberalized the flow of foreign exchange to include items like amount of foreign currency that can be procured for purposes like travel abroad, studying abroad, engaging the services of foreign consultants etc. This set the first step towards getting our currency convertible on the current account. What it means is that people are allowed to have access to foreign currency for buying a whole range of consumable products and services. These relaxations coincided with the liberalization on the industry and commerce front - which is why we have Honda City cars, Mars chocolate bars and Bacardi in India.

There was also simultaneous relaxation on the restriction on the funds that foreign investors can bring into India to invest in companies and the stock market in the country. This step led to partial convertibility on the Capital Account.

"Capital Account convertibility in its entirety would mean that any individual, be it Indian or foreigner will be allowed to bring in any amount of foreign currency into the country and take any amount of foreign currency out of the country without any restriction."

Indian companies were allowed to raise funds by way of equities (shares) or debts. The fancy terms like Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), Euro Convertible Bonds (ECBs), Foreign currency syndicated loans became household jargons of Indian investors. Listing in Nasdaq or NYSE became new found status symbols for Indian companies. However, Indian companies or individuals still had to get permission on a case to case basis for investing abroad.

In 2000, the forex policy was further relaxed that allowed companies to acquire other companies abroad without having to go through the rigmarole of getting permission on a case to case basis. Further, Indian debt based mutual funds were also allowed to invest in AAA rated government /corporate bonds abroad. This got further relaxed with Indians being allowed to hold a portion of their foreign exchange earnings as foreign currency, subject to a limit in the recent monetary policy in October 2002.

In general, restrictions on foreign currency movements are placed by developing countries which have faced foreign exchange problems in the past is to avoid sudden erosion of their foreign exchange reserves which are essential to maintain stability of trade balance and stability in their economy. With India's forex reserves increasing steadily, it has slowly and steadily removed restrictions on movement of capital on many counts.

The last few steps as and when they happen will allow an individual to invest in Microsoft or Intel shares that are traded on Nasdaq or buy a beach resort on Bahamas without any restrictions.

Because if you don't study you cannot go to a proper school, get a proper job, and if you have no money (because you need money to buy things), you cannot survive.

It is important to us because it is a form of an arts. It also concerns itself with the communication with other humans; to communicate or to show our feelings or expression.

Child Labour (Speech)

Good morning everyone. My objective today is to talk to you about child labour.

Do you know that of every 100 children in the world today, 16 of them are child labourers, 12 of them are in its worst form, and many will never go to school? There are 246 million child labourers in the world today, most are in developing countries. Some of them are as young as 5, 186 million of them are under 15 and 170 million of them are doing hazardous work and operating dangerous tools or machineries. They are working on farms, plantations, mines, or even construction site, breathing in noxious fumes and exposed to harsh chemicals or dangers. Of every 100 children, more than half will never finish school, escape poverty or even have a decent job. Let me begin by clearly explaining the meaning of the term "child labour". Child labour is the employment of children under an age determined by law or custom. This practice is considered exploitative by many countries and international organizations. Child labour was utilized to varying extents through most of history, but entered public dispute with the beginning of universal schooling, with changes in working conditions during industrialization, and with the emergence of the concepts of workers' and children's rights. So, how can we stop child labour? We can solve these problems by improving child labour legislation and laws and also by increasing the quality, relevance and access to education. Many countries have national child labour laws that establish a minimum age for work and regulate working conditions. However legal protection for child labourers is not effective to the kinds of work children are most involved in, such as agriculture and domestic service. In addition, labour laws in many countries do not cover factories employing less than ten people. It is, therefore, important to extend protection so that laws cover the main places where children work. Education is also a key to ending the exploitation of children. If an education system is to attract and retain children, its quality and relevance must be improved as well. Children who attend school are less likely to be involved in hazardous or exploitative work. They are also more likely to break out of cycles of poverty. The main obstacle to achieving universal primary education is only the inability and/or the unwillingness of governments to provide quality educational facilities for poor children in rural areas and in city shantytowns, because evidence from around the world has shown that poor families are willing to make sacrifices to send their children to school when it is economically and physically accessible. In conclusion, child labour should not happen as our greatest "natural resource" is the mind of the children. If child labour continues, the children will not be able to get a good education and our society cannot improve.

So, let's put our hand together to stop child labour.

Thank you.

Think of your alma mater .When you were in school , the building was new and modern. You called it 'your school'. After many years ,after many years it looks very old fashioned building and in a bad condition. You still call it 'your school'. Are not the same words to describe the building in its different states?This is one example of restricted language because there is no symbol or word can transmit the exact reality.

It is pronounced like the English word "Niece". Neese.

In the field of computer networking and other packet-switched telecommunication networks, the traffic engineering term quality of service (QoS) refers to resource reservation control mechanisms rather than the achieved service quality. Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. For example, a required bit rate, delay, jitter, packet dropping probability and/or bit error rate may be guaranteed. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as voice over IP, online games and IP-TV, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication. In the absence of network congestion, QoS mechanisms are not required.

Education - in general - is based on the reality and events of life. All knowledge either directly or indirectly comes through life, and therefore can be applied to life. However, how knowledge is appropriately applied to life depends on man's acquisition of wisdom which appears lately to be running somewhat dry. As an example; In terms of peace on Earth, wisdom appears to be elusive.

Anything can become an interesting topic for a 12th Grade speech. Homelessness in America is a popular speech topic. A few more interesting topics would be on government issues and medical issues facing Americans or the world today.

Pure speech is simply written or spoken words. It is differentiated from symbolic speech which is "speaking" through behavior. Pure speech is a legal term to define speech protected by the First Amendment. The use of the word "pure" is only to differentiate it from speech that does not use words, it has nothing to do with the content of the speech.

"Informal Bankruptcy" is the term proposed by authors Dawsey & Ausubel in their 2004 article by that title.

It is defined as simply hanging up on creditors' calls and ignoring their letters.

For those lacking visible assets and/or verifiable employment in "debtor friendly" states it can be a viable option. In other states such as Georgia and Tennessee, strong creditors' remedies dictate either a formal bankruptcy strategy or a departure from the state.

The authors' study was somewhat limited however, and did not take into account the possibility that debtors pursuing an informal bankruptcy strategy might at some later time use the federal bankruptcy laws, make partial or full repayment voluntarily, or lose some assets or income to attachment or garnishment.

Probably the most advantageous strategy for someone in financial straits who does not want to avail themselves of a formal bankruptcy would be to self-educate themselves on the local and federal laws regarding collections and debt, maintain good records and vigilance over their credit reports and the local courthouse plaintiff/defendant indexes.

Over time, the debtor could fight the cases they could win and potentially settle the cases that were brought by more stubborn creditors. The tables could also be turned on many creditors by suing them for the almost-inevitable FDCPA and FCRA violations, and some debtors report that such suits provide them a second income.
