The Disney brothers started the company in the early twentieth century as a cartoon studio. Over the next years, the company positioned itself as the best in the animation industry and, later diversified to live-action film, TV and theme parks (Collis, & Rukstad, 2009).

Sanchez Family Celia Sanchez is the wife to Hector and a mother to 6 children that is Junior, Emilia, Vicki, Gloria, Alejandro, and Carmen. Celia is a woman according to my understanding who is brought up in a society that protects their girl child and teaches them their role in a home. She must have been raised knowing that a woman’s work is to stay at home and care for the family as the husband goes to work. She is a very submissive wife who would do anything to show respect to her husband as well as care for the family. Celia must have grown up in a community where education was not that upraised, but rather the community valued the values that one is brought up with. She must have been brought up in a religious family since when she sees how the husband is struggling to make ends meet, she visits the church secretly for help. However, to help Celia with her language barrier issue, I should try and advise her on the importance of learning other languages…
Public Speaking Question 1 In my opinion, good organization is the most crucial of the 11 public speaking competencies outlined in chapter 1. The ability of an individual to organize his/her speech in a way that makes it easier for the audience to capture the main points is an essential public speaking skill. Good organization also involves the ability of a speaker to transition from one main idea to the other in a way that ensures a smooth flow of the speech. An organized speech is also crucial as it helps in the delivery of information and also avoids confusion. An organized speaker whose speech starts with main points which are well structured uses transition tools, and follows a logical pattern is provides information to the audience better than an unorganized public speaker. For instance, clear organization of a speech is an essential competence for lecturers and tutors. Question 2 There are three barriers to active listening. Anticipating, judging, and emotional reactions are the most significant of the hindrances to active listening. Anticipating is a situation whereby the listener is…

Authoritative parenting Abstract The different styles of parenting available play a significant role in the growth and development of children in western culture. No one parenting style fits every child, and as such, they should be adapted depending on the child’s and the parents’ personalities. Among the main styles include; authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. In the dominant western culture in the United States, the preferred child upbringing goals include confidence, independence, and social assertiveness, among others. (Choi, Kim, Kim & Park, 2013) Authoritative parenting, as the name suggests, involves parents having more control over their children’s behaviour. The parents intend to promote freedom and independence, but at the same time, exercise a certain level of control on the child. As a result, the children become more mature and responsible at the early stages of their lives. This is done by encouraging accountability which helps the children to respond to different circumstances in life in the best way possible. In general, the style aims at providing an optimum, well-developed child of competence and character. (“Authoritative Parenting”, 2019) Parenting is…
