    What is a measurement plan?

    In this general situation, a question could be :
    - Which type of events are the three most popular one?

    As some KPIs, there are :
    - the results of other event holders in our district/ among our ethnicity in other district/ etc. (external bench markers)
    - the results of our previous performances in such field in same time/ same district/ etc. (internal...

    Reflect and connect

    - I think defining some long term and short term strategies could be crucial in analytics. Then, some regulators or soft wares could be brought up which make our long term reviews easier.
    - There are lots of information needs for: from the number of sold headphones ... to the content analysis of our (and other rivals') recieved feedbacks.

    The importance of measurable outcomes

    I think that the presented five objects have some overlabs and the categorisation is not completely logic. Is there any one else?

    Finding usefull measurments to apply in digital analytics is in my priority.

    Why is analytics important?

    Clarifying the "analysis target" is a key activity at first stage... could any one explain how (and by who) that process would start and run?

  • MEHDI POURGHASEMI made a comment
    What will I learn?

    I think the predictive side of the skill needs more creativity rather than validity and reliability.

    Introduction to Week 1

    Hello everyone, through this course I would really like to catch something more about Nonverbal signs, their applications and tricks in social media.

  • MEHDI POURGHASEMI made a comment
    The role of marketing in delivering social change

    I think that begining point to solve such a problem is familarity with stakeholders and connecting them to achiev some more beneficial, practical offers ... not bringing up an offer like "plastic washing up"!

    Welcome back

    upgrading stakeholders knowledge on benefits and demerits is a way of making the changes longer.

    The social marketing process

    as a matter of fact, it would be much better if we considered that process as spiral and not circular; because its obvious that the process is certainly progressive.

    Bringing people with you

    every society is like an ecoystem which all its elements connected to the others and the isulation of stakeholders is a sign of shortcoming.

    Is there a European identity?

    with such fluctuation in some group`s identity, can we still use the concept of European identity? West/East, South/North, member of Eu or Not and so forth.
    is not there the time to be more tolerant to present definitions on the culture and identity?

  • MEHDI POURGHASEMI made a comment
    Your advice

    I would say a couple of things I think they should be focused more through the course:
    first of all, the children mother language should be kept as a valuable thing was born with them. In which way we could be committed more to their first language and don`t mixed them up?
    Then, English teaching process in home country or some different situations (such as...

    Reflective questions on Week 3

    Thanking the brief outline of the week, would mentors find more about some other titles namely "silence" and "mindfulness" and their relations to the rest of subjects. Truly, I ask you kindly help me find any logical mind map regarding these weeks schedule?

    Introducing time and space

    As far as I understand, there are a lot of exceptions regarding the territories and punctuality regards the different contexts in every culture. Then, as Dylan commented, territories could be defined rather than just an interpersonal distance or as commented, focusing on time could be changeable from context to context (like leisure time vs. meeting time) So,...

    Analyzing a styles case

    This dialogue is like what I have experienced in my (mostly) High context culture in my previous work place by a boss who emphasized on his reasons more than yours. He just wanted to do what he aimed at the moment and could not imagined any more (regards what happened previously and mid-term or long-term goals). Even, I remember an occasion related to birth of...

    Adjusting high-low context styles

    As far as I know about my life, I prefer LC features mostly, however maybe here I have found many HC characteristics among people in my relatives, neighbors or colleagues. In that way, I suppose that being LC is a necessity for "the discipline in societies" and HC is a necessity for "the frenzy actions in societies". Could anyone help if these descriptions...

    Considering communication and context

    Would mentors help me solve the contradiction between indirect and implicit (as two features of HC communications) in one hand and nonverbal communications on the other hand. Does it mean that verbal communication is more direct and accurate than nonverbal one? could these features influence each other? what are some features arisen from HC nonverbal...

    Dear Rebecca, many thanks to your insightful comment. If I am not mistaken, exaggerating to attribute some features to our babies in every way would be wrong?

    Labelling children

    Dear mentors, I don`t know it would be right or wrong, but I have made a short lyric with my son about some of his characteristics in positive side. For instance in some playing situations we may sing together (rhythmic in my language) that "my Pedram is intelligent/ however he is naughty... my honey Pedram/ love curiosity everywhere..."
    Would you please help...

    Were you ever compared to anyone as a child?

    Being compared to others is one of the most awful treatment in upbringing children which I had experienced that a lot and I don`t know why (mostly as I dealt with) Iranian parents cover their communication competence to their children doing so???

    Reflective questions on Week 2

    1) taking a walk in others shoes by considering their identities is just a way to perceive, interpret and react fairly.
    2) As far as I have considered, rather than reading someone stories, it would be very helpful if we were aware about many other`s nonverbal clues.
    3) Truly I am looking for such opportunities to have international scholar interactions in...

    Understanding social identity theory

    Dear mentors! I hope it would not be bothering if I asked about the rules of Social Identity Theory specifically right for Cultural Identity? By which I mean, why social and cultural identities seem to be such similar with regards different aspects of cultural identity were mentioned and the SIT?

    Identifying differences in interaction

    I think that all the intercultural competence is "self-consciousness, intelligent and respectful to others in our interactions and being Nonverbal competent is the first ability in that way. could anyone help correct or complement that?

  • MEHDI POURGHASEMI made a comment
    Understanding levels of identity in interaction

    Then, the necessity of reading other clues and being aware about our behaviors in (mostly) intercultural interaction lead us to one essential competence known as "nonverbal communication". could mentors help us more about that?
    Also, as it was explained that the first or more obvious layer is a public layer, could we consider that as more cultural identity?...

    Considering cultural identity

    Following the explanation, could I argue that:
    every physical, personal or social features could be considered as cultural identity; whereas every cultural features could not be considered as other mentioned identities?

    This is a "man" as a "freelance social researcher" from a "middle class" "close knit" family of a "developing country", living in lots of "religious norms and values but personally free from most of them...

    The importance of play

    would trainers help me find, what happen if sometimes in a language learning process by role playing, we (as parents) make a joke or fun situation of the baby`s mistake and like some of our similar mistakes laugh them together to any next opportunity to correct them?
