Effective listening

1) There are several barriers to effective listenin" rel="nofollow">ing discussed in" rel="nofollow">in your textbook, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing weasel words, euphemisms, jargon, and gobbledygook. Summarize what each of these fallacies are. 2) Go on YouTube or Google and search for in" rel="nofollow">infomercials. Infomercials are a form of paid programmin" rel="nofollow">ing that masks itself as in" rel="nofollow">informative but is actually designed to persuade consumers to purchase a particular product. These products often bear the label “as seen on TV.” For example, The Sham Wow was marketed successfully in" rel="nofollow">in an in" rel="nofollow">infomercial in" rel="nofollow">in the 2000s. 3) Watch at least one in" rel="nofollow">infomercial and identify at least two times weasel words are used in" rel="nofollow">in the commercial. Explain" rel="nofollow">in what the words are and what is omitted. Discuss the in" rel="nofollow">information that would need to be in" rel="nofollow">included to avoid each weasel word. 4) Fin" rel="nofollow">ind one example of a euphemism, jargon, or gobbledygook. Explain" rel="nofollow">in the example and why you thin" rel="nofollow">ink it falls in" rel="nofollow">into one of these categories. Discuss how this element could be improved so it is no longer a listenin" rel="nofollow">ing fallacy.
