SEOUL， Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- A South Korean special prosecutor's team on Monday raided the home of former presidential chief of staff to find evidence on his suspected illegal involvement in the culture ministry's personnel management.

The raid was part of the investigation into a scandal that had led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye last earlier this month.

Local media reports showed that the independent counsel team's investigators stormed the home of Kim Ki-choon， who served as chief secretary to President Park between Aug. 2013 to Feb. 2015， to secure computer hard disks， diaries and mobile phones.

The team's deputy spokesman Hong Jung-seok confirmed the reports through a text message， saying that Kim's home is under seizure and search， but he did not elaborate further.

Kim is seen as one of key men in unraveling the complicated scandal involving President Park and her longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil， as he is one of the closest aides to the impeached president.

He worked as the department head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA)， predecessor of the National Intelligence Service (NIS)， in charge of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) affairs in the 1970s under former President Park Chung-hee， father of the impeached leader.

Under the Park Geun-hye presidency， Kim is suspected of having deeply engaged in the highest-level， presidential decision-making process as Park's chief secretary， including the illegalities surrounding the scandal.

The special prosecutor team searched Kim's home on suspicion that he ordered the vice culture minister in Oct. 2014 to fire six senior culture ministry officials， abusing his power. The team is reportedly investigating into Kim's illegal involvement in the culture and sports ministry's other personnel management.

The Monday search and seizure may be a sign that the independent counsel takes off his coat to its investigation into the former presidential chief of staff's involvement in the scandal.

Investigators also raided the residences and offices of the culture ministry officials， including Culture Minister Cho Yoon-sun.

People have a need to feel like they’re being heard. Executive Operations Manager Cheap Trent Alexander-Arnold Jersey , Ivan Lasater points out some barriers to effective listening.
How Well do we Listen?
Even the best communicators pick up only about 50% of the messages others are trying to send when they speak. After a length of only a few months, the amount of information they actually retain is reduced to about 25% of the content. People have a need to be heard and to feel like the messages they are sending are being understood. Those messages could include important questions that need to be answered Cheap Steven Gerrard Jersey , or there could be messages imbedded in the context that a person needs you to understand and aren’t communicated in a straight forward manner. People often times do this when they are seeking validation or affirmation. So why do people miss such a huge portion of the messages we send through communication?
Reasons for missing content
There are several reasons why we miss out on a good portion of what others are trying to communicate. Imagine the distractions you may experience in an office environment. It can be hard to absorb all the information you may need with the hustle and bustle of the workplace going on all around you. These distractions can cause you to filter a good amount of the information coming your way.
•Selective Listening. When you filter information by choosing what you want to hear and discarding the rest. This can be necessary when there is a great amount of information to process. Selective listening can also be a barrier to effective listening because there may be pertinent information the listener may miss.
•Lack of Focus. A distracted mind has a tendency to wander. A listener with a distracted mind can tend to miss out on a good amount of the information they being given. Day dreaming or allowing the mind to wander over everyday issues while listening detracts from the listener’s ability to focus.
•Comprehension. If a listener isn’t able to understand the information being given them because they may lack the education or technical understanding of the subject, it can cause the listener to shut down and stop listening. The listener may be too embarrassed to communicate this so often times the message is never received.
•Cultural Cheap Simon Mignolet Jersey , Sexual, or Racial Bias. Sometimes a listener can put up barriers to effective communication because the person trying to send the message may be of a different race Cheap Sheyi Ojo Jersey , sex, socio-economic class Cheap Sadio Mane Jersey , or culture. Some people tend to stop listening if they believe they are above or better than the person sending the message.
•Emotional Cues. Certain words and expressions tend to evoke a negative emotional response from people which can cause them to stop absorbing pertinent information. Bringing up the subject of a painful loss, sensitive topics like politics or religion Cheap Ryan Kent Jersey , and even foul language can all be barriers to effective listening.

Summary

Having an understanding of how we put up barriers to effective communication can help us to recognize when we’re doing it. Identifying the reasons why helps to raise the awareness that might help us to avoid poor listening habits. People miss out on a lot of the information they’re being given for multiple reasons. Whether its selective listening or cultural bias, people who don’t form good listening habits will ultimately have a problem communicating in productive and healthy ways.
