Oral communication is not simply about the message itself, but also about the delivery of the message. A large part of this delivery is the timing of the communication. The timing must be such that the audience is receptive to the message. Pulling people away from activities and intruding to force your message on them is not an effective delivery method. My personal reaction is that the rudeness of the uninvited interruption makes me want to tune out almost immediately. I also agree that the tone of the message has much to do with how it's received by the recipient. Once again, this has to do with delivery. Reviewing the message, Polksosky found that it wasn't as angry as she originally perceived it to be. However, instead the rapid pace of the speaker coupled with the topic and timing gave the impression of anger. Yet, I disagree that changing the tone would make most people receptive to the message.

Would this have changed my reaction to receiving the call? No. I still would've been irritated with being interrupted with a glorified telemarketing call. Calls like this are the junk mail and spam e-mail of oral communication. No matter how well produced, how well written, or how well intended the message, many people are going to find the interruption rude and therefore have a negative bias towards its receipt. This simply goes to reiterate how important timing is to any oral communication.

The advent of World War II saw and end of the period of economic turmoil and massive unemployment known as the Great Depression, and thus was a time of increased opportunity for many of the nation's citizens and immigrants, but the experiences of some groups during and following the war were far less positive than others.

" James a.S. McPeek further blames Jonson for this corruption: "No one can read this dainty song to Celia without feeling that Jonson is indecorous in putting it in the mouth of such a thoroughgoing scoundrel as Volpone." Shelburne asserts that the usual view of Jonson's use of the Catullan poem is distorted by an insufficient understanding of Catullus' carmina, which comes from critics' willingness to adhere to a conventional -- yet incorrect

Individualism (ID) defines whether the society expects people to look after themselves or not. Its opposite is
