1. Identify one of your important speech networks. Do you and the people who share it with you have your own specific common language? Can you list 5 words from your common vocabulary and explain what they mean and they came into being? How do they reflect the cultural values of your group? 2. Do you agree that speakers want to appear competent and to be liked? If not, why not? If you do, can you imagine times when being liked and appearing competent are at odds?

you make more money, you can get a better job, you have a better education, you are wanted more by most employers.

i think cheerleading is definitely a form of art. or at least it should be! not everyone has what is takes/and or the determination to become a cheerleader. it takes practice and hard work, along with being able to master a move correctly, like dancing. dancing is a form of art, and i think cheerleading is too. not everyone can dance, just like not everyone can be a cheerleader.
