Communicating in Forums – Anthony’s Dilemma

communicating In Forums Anthonys Dilemma Carla Landes Gen/105 September 25, 2011 Arianne P. Bellizaire Communicating In Forums Anthonys Dilemma To me, it is very important when oral presentation in class forums that I choose my inclusive phrasing well. One should never make assumptions when communicating in forums and phrase comments as if in a professional setting. When posting most of my responses to discussion questions, I try to address a specific person and usually not the entire class and outdoor stage my response accordingly.The first error that I feel Anthony made in his response to the class was Hi guys. It appears in the phrasing of his greeting that Anthony assumed the class was all male. Although, this does appear somewhat sexist, I except would not take offense to this type of greeting per say as it is typically a gender-friendly greeting. I do feel that the rest of Anthonys response regarding his experience at the company conference was quite sexist, namely, how An thony was affect that the female or lady as he called her had many good things to say.I personally would not hold up mentioned the gender of the speaker, but just referred to the speaker at the conference. Most of Anthonys discussion response focuses more(prenominal) in context with males attending this conference just by using some of his descriptive phrases such as the good ole boys and only mentioned the male managers, which would lead one to assume there were no female managers present. Anthony should allow used language such as Hi Class or Hi All. Also, Anthony could obtain been more inclusive with his descriptions of the managers, such as, The managers and their families.I would think that Anthonys concern over not offending anyone to me shows that had he had a face-to-face conversation in the same language, the response may not reach been interpreted as sexist. Anthony could have clarified himself differently in his response. In conclusion, Anthonys response was non-i nclusive language and phrasing. His first mistake and my instruction to Anthony would be never rush when communicating in a group forum. Instead of rushing through the assignment, Anthony should have waited to post his response. Choose phrasing very carefully and leave opinions and emotions out of the post.
