Discussion

Answer the following questions, using APA-style.  Each answer should contain meaningful and intelligent responses gathered from your reading.  Using headings/subheadings.

Discussion Question #1.  Taking a step back to align this weeks readings with Chapter 7:  Over the last 2 weeks, you have been answering questions based on whether you identified back in Chapter 3 as a Coach and/or as an Interpreter.  Review Table 7.1 (Change Images and Communication Purpose) note the FOCUS of communication for both Coach and Interpreter images and determine if that still applies to you.  Now, consider the text indicates there is an issue of communicating to a level of getting buy-in (participation) to the change as opposed to a level of getting the word out (providing information) about a change.

Based on how you identified (as a Coach or as an Interpreter), are you more apt to focus on seeking buy-in or on getting the word out and why?

Discussion Question #2.  Think of an example where you or someone close to you faced a major, significant life-impacting change at work or at school.  Identify as many Reasons for Resistance (listed on pages 253 through page 260) that you can AS IT RELATES to the example you used.  Try to use all 14 Reasons for Resistance in your answer, but at a minimum, identify 3. For each of the reasons you identify, list at least one action that was or could have been taken by management to reduce the source of resistance. Table 8.4 and Table 8.5 list possible actions that could be taken.  You are welcome to think of some other possible actions that could be taken based on your own knowledge, experience or intuitions.

language ideology

Haviland (2003) & language ideology:

For todays session, you read Haviland (2003), an analysis of how language ideologies are central to the practice of U.S. law. For this discussion post, you will analyze how language ideologies are part of the current Presidential impeachment trial unfolding in the U.S. Congress. At a fundamental level, the impeachment trial is about language: did then-President Trumps words incite a violent insurrection?

Begin by viewing this 25-minute segment of the defense teams opening argument.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kaxV6yGjL8&t=1029s

Your analysis will be grounded in Havilands discussion of language ideology. To define language ideology as a concept, he cites a 1990 essay by anthropologist Alan Rumsey: shared bodies of commonsense notions about the nature of language in the world (764). And, he identifies an especially pervasive language ideology that circulates in U.S. law, the referential ideology: the notion that words are essentially vehicles for conveying referential meaning, that is, propositions that are simply true or false (766).

The question you are addressing is this: how is the referential ideology present in this performance by the defense team? Be sure to illustrate your answer with examples from the video clip.
