Last Conversation of 2011
Tuesday, December 20, 2011- 2:00 p- 4:00 pm
Room 314 – Midtown
“Conflict and Emotions”
Although both topics are studied and applied by specialists, neither topic is often
part of general conversation. Yet each day we often find ourselves in
emotional states because of one or more conflicts.
Since conflicts and the resultant emotional turmoil are part of our daily communication life, we will try to dissect the interaction of both from
a layman’s viewpoint.
This conversation will be neither a psychological nor a philosophical examination We are looking at conflict and emotions through a practical Communication lens.
By the way, we are having some spectacularly interesting conversations. Some people have commented that they feel comfortable enough to share their feelings without a fear of judgment or reprisal. We hope to continue to create a supportive Communication atmosphere.
Join us! Bring a friend!
Observe what we are all about!
Best of all, share your thoughts!

Next Week’s Conversation
3. The Touro Communication Club #151
Tuesday, February 14, 2011- 2:00 p- 4:00 pm
Room 314 – Midtown
Progress report on
The 2012 Election
This blurb is being written in December. Who knows what will have happened when we next meet in February?
There are now six Republican candidates arguing with each other with lots of noise from Donald Trump. In the latest yo-yo polling, Newt Gingrich is leading the pack. There is talk of a third party candidate. President Obama is counterattacking Republican charges.
In short, everything is mess. mixed up. Who is leading the Republican horse race
will become clearer toward the summer.
You might think that a Presidential election is far away from your experience.
You avoid these issues at your peril. Health care is a hot issue. Immigration
issues are on our doorstep. And voter registration affects whether you or your relatives can vote. And there are many more than these three issues.
Our conversations are never boring. We surprise ourselves at how many different opinions we have. Share yours and change someone’s mind – maybe.
