The two men crawled across the sun-scorched sand. The wind blew the sand grains into their faces at blinding speeds as they reac

It urged them to continue their struggle. The men summoned the will to live. They used it as strength when they had none, and the men pushed forward until the tiny pool was in reach. The man in front desperately scooped a handful of the shimmering liquid into his mouth. Instantly he began coughing and spitting out the water.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

“Multicultural communication is the ability to communicate effectively with individuals of other cultures” (Tamparo 30). Developing multicultural therapeutic communication skills is very important in the modern era. Everyday we get more connected to each other; through videos and social media, we learn and understand other cultures. The most important factors are:

1. Empathy: By developing multicultural communication skills, we can show empathy to the person who is talking to us. As we know, empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feeling of others. With it we get more connected with people.

2. Knowledge/Culture: By developing multicultural communication skills, we learn the different cultures that exists in the world. We learn how they work and affect each person. But most important we learn to respect and embrace it.

3. Approachable: In the workplace learning these skills makes a huge difference. Customer will feel more comfortable talking to you and this will create and atmosphere of comfortableness and respect between you and the other person. You will have the ability of being “likable” and everything will flow better.

Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. In her speech
nikdorinn [45]

She could argue that you don't need to sell the same thing every year and therefore, we could all try something different this year, not just candy.

She also could argue that candies are not healthy and it's time to distance ourselves from them for now.

The best argument that she could pull off would be, if that was really the case, if fruits were easier and more profitable to sell. By far, if that was the argument, they would all sell fruit easily.
