OK. A lot of times I get really annoyed by the replies and feedback from my classmates but today I got the first ever, PERFECT, feedback.
Hello Jennifer,
I think all your answers are good ones I particularly like the last one, negative emotions. That I think it is in addition to being a big inhibitor of communication in and of its self it’s a major factor in contributing to other inhibitors of communication. I think your right that a speech filled with negative emotions can cause the audience to tune out. Even people who may agree with the points of the speaker may end up being push away from the speakers view point due to the negativity of the presentation. It should be said that speeches filled with negative emotions often accompanied by prejudice do have a target audience that share in the negative emotions of the speaker, however this group is already with the speaker in spirit therefore the loss of the audience members who are pushed away by negative emotions makes this a huge inhibitor to a person trying to deliver a message. I like the order you put these inhibitors in. I think you were listing negative emotions and biased on your list where you did because while they are big inhibitors they are probably less common than language differences or attention span. You did great work on this overall.

Thank you Nick!
This image was made of my friend Joe. It was meant to personify his character on the game we play because he is always trying to kill the other players that seem to annoy the hell out of him.
This image uses the lyrics from Black Eyed Peas' song 'Where Is the Love?'. The background image displays the destruction of the human character and what we can do to our fellow man. This is saying 'Why don't we love anymore? When did hate become the main emotion?"
Lyrics from 'When The Wind Blows' by the All American Rejects <3. Of course, I put my face in there because I go with the wind, I leave when the wind blows, and there is no love there any more.
