CONT

Typically started by the misguided use of an email distribution list, sometimes initiated through a controversial comment shared through such a list. But what really keeps the train going are the ongoing responses using reply-all. By using reply-all, the distribution list gets included and the response is — once again — sent to everyone. And each response may be the trigger for the next person to write a response. There is your email storm.

Fléau bien connu depuis la généralisation de la communication par courriel dans les bureaux, les tempêtes de courriels «répondre à tous» surviennent lorsqu'un ou une internaute [...] envoie un message à l'ensemble de – ou à une part importante de – ses collègues. Toutes les réponses subséquentes sont également adressées à tout le monde, et dans les grandes entreprises, cela peut signifier des centaines ou même des milliers de courriels envoyés et reçus en peu de temps; des communications venant souvent de personnes qui demandent pourquoi elles reçoivent ces messages et si elles peuvent être retirées de la liste d'envoi.

Rules are similar to the able-bodied game with a few modifications. The ball makes noise when it moves and everyone, aside from the goalkeeper, uses eye shades to ensure fairness. The goalkeeper may be sighted and act as a guide during the game. Also, the measurements of the field are smaller and there are no offside rulings.

Subject field(s)
  • Sociology of Human Relations
DEF

A situation in which individuals in a group don’t know that there are others in the group who share their feelings (especially when those feelings are of confusion)

CONT

Pluralistic ignorance refers to any situation in which a majority, or plurality of a group holds a particular belief, but each person believes that everyone else holds a different belief.

CONT

The one view dominated the public scene and others disappeared from the public awareness as it adherents became silent. In other words, the people fear of separation or isolation those around them, they tend to keep their attitudes to themselves when they think they are in the minority. This process is called “Spiral of Silence”.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sociologie des relations humaines
CONT

L'ignorance pluraliste renvoie à une situation où les membres d'une société ignorent leur accord tacite sur une question. Dans ces conditions, une opinion minoritaire peut rencontrer une entente surprenante, créant l'impression d'une conversion majoritaire à la nouvelle opinion. E. Nöelle-Neumann (The Spiral of Silence, Public Opinion-Our social skin, Chicago, Chicago University Press, 1984) analyse ainsi la relation entre la perception de l'opinion majoritaire (que les individus croient majoritaire) et le consentement à exprimer l'opinion privée sur certains points. Ceux qui imaginent que leur opinion est contraire à l'opinion de la majorité supposée (et qui sont bien souvent les individus les plus défavorisés) préfèrent se taire, redoutant l'isolement social. Ils s'enfoncent dans le silence, ce qui donne une visibilité supplémentaire à la seule opinion publiquement exprimée.

Pull down trips require the group to enter a cave with one or two ropes and rig each drop so that once everyone has reached the bottom, one end of the rope can be pulled and send all the rope falling down to the bottom of the pit.

In 1995, the Government of Saskatchewan established a decoration to recognize the volunteer sector on the occasion of the province's 90th anniversary : the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal. Saskatchewan has the highest rate of voluntarism in Canada. Each volunteer reaches outside his or her personal activities to help others and make daily life in our province better for everyone. Formal recognition of volunteers is a way both of expressing the gratitude of the community and of presenting role models to the people of the province. While the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, established in 1985 as the province's highest honour, does recognize volunteer or community service, this is only one among many fields of endeavour for which the Order is bestowed. Prior to 1995 the volunteer sector in Saskatchewan was not adequately recognized by the provincial government.

Synchronous training is done in real-time with a live instructor facilitating the training. Everyone logs in at a set time and can communicate directly with the instructor and with each other. You can raise your cyber hand and even view the cyber whiteboard. It lasts for a set amount of time--from a single session to several weeks, months or even years. This type of training usually takes place via Internet Web sites, audio-or video-conferencing, Internet telephony, or even two-way live broadcasts to students in a classroom.

Delivery of training to employees can be accomplished using many methods. Real-time training is a method that employs live streaming video and either streaming audio or a conference bridge to provide the audio to the presentation.
