With the society's development, the interaction between individual and environment becomes undividable. Every sector in our life needs communication including having lectures in the school, job interview, presentation with the clients, and even buying a plate of "char kwe-tiaw". Therefore, the key points of communication are accuracy and effectiveness.
To make our communication accurate and effective, we must know the right way to communicate. There are too many ways of communication, such as face-to-face, telephone, letter, email, internet messenger, etc. Although the technology advancing provides us more choice and convenience. However, different ways of communication can represent different attitude and tones, and cause different feedback.
Thus, apart from good language skill, accurate and effective communication should include using the right media.
Hello. Your profile picture makes you look like you're from the movie Matrix.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I agree that apart from good language skill, accurate and effective communication should include using the right media. For example, when breaking up with a girl, it is unethical to use communication channels such as messaging or through Facebook.
Hi Charles, you emphasized the accuracy and effectiveness of communication in your blog which I agree with you. And you also mentioned that the right media/channel was important. From a reader's point of view, I think you make your points very clear. You may elaborate more on each point or give examples to support your points.I think this will make your arguments stronger.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting thing I have found by reading Xiuxian's and your blog: she talked about bees use their body movements to communicate effectively. Regarding to what you said "To distinguish from animals...", maybe animals do communicate but in a different way from humans. :)
The interesting thing about technology is that very often it makes people lazy communicators. People tend to forget that at the end of the day, it is you, the human being, that needs to decide what channel of communication is apt for a particular message, context, or audience.If we always choose convenience in communicating regardless of the message, context or the audience then we end up paying the price in relationships.
