How one communicates strongly reflects how they shape their ideas and how they carry themselves in the eyes of many. A good communicator will appear confident and reliable. Thus, a good communicator will form a positive image on himself. Personally, like everyone elses, I hope that I could give a good first impression through my communication skills.
On inter-personal level, communication is important because as the saying goes, "Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know men" - Confucius. In order to build good relationships with other people, we have to be a good and effective communicator. Likewise, this is especially important for me because I like to meet and interact with people.
Families being the smallest and strongest unit of society play important role in shaping the society. Thus, effective communications between family members strengthen family ties and strengthen the society as a whole. Thus, the power of communication should never be underestimated.
Internationally, successful diplomacy can help to deter confrontations, which may result in wars and loss of innocent lives. The need of diplomats to negotiate and to find a mutually acceptable solution undermines the importance of effective communication between nations.

ReplyDeleteYou describe effective communication in general quite well here, Jaenette. But should I then assume that each area you mention relates to you in specific? Or are there other skills that will be important for you now and in the near future?
ReplyDeleteHey Jaenette!
ReplyDeleteI would think that you described various examples here pretty briefly! So perhaps you could explain a little more in the next few posts!
But I do like how you mention that family is the smallest and strongest unit of society and that it plays an important role and thus communication is greatly needed in it.
This is indeed a value that should be treasured and given more thought to nowadays, especially given the rising divorce rate, because it's not just money and love that support a relationship between people in a family, but a lot of communication is highly involved in keeping a family together. This ties in together with your view on couples needing effective communication! It takes a whole lot more at keeping a relationship together when you live with your other half when you eventually get married. Imagine not having effective communication! You'd be fighting with him her everyday when you live with him! :S
Hi Jaenette!
ReplyDeleteI agree that everyone has their own set of principles and priorities that needs to be understood and respected by others. Therefore, I believe that experience(such as interacting with more people) would help in enabling us to find the most effective way of communicating with different types of people. For example, in cliching a business deal,having experience in understanding different client's needs and wants, you would know what are the right words and appropriate tone to use to successfully clinch the deal.
hey! I like how you organise your points from personal, then to family and finally globally.
ReplyDeleteI agree that each and every one of us are different and that with 'faulty communication' will lead to misunderstandings unintended. I feel the same about how one communicate reflects themselves. How one articulate and bring across ideas will showcase one's confidence.
Hi,dear buddy.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!Sorry for being late to visit your blog.I went to malaysia this Chinese New Year and couldn't access to the internet.Sorry sorry ha...
Following are my personal advice:
1.You go directly to the main topic,it is clear
2.You introduce the important of effective communication from different angles,and after i read over you article for the first time,i can get your every point very clearly,which is good.
3. i think if you can lay out your article in this order,it will be better:
The first paragraph:Put your second paragraph on the beginning or in the end,like a whole beginning or a whole sum-up
The second paragraph:"On inter-personal level, communication is important because as the saying goes, "Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know men" - Confucius. " That's enough.It can be regarded as a transition if you want to give us some specfic examples about why effective communication skills are import on the interpersonal level.Then the following paragraphs are the examples related to interpersonal level.
The third paragraph:the same as the interpersonal level,you can put an transitional paragraph,then some following examples paragraphs
4.You have done a great job in organizing and using the words to illustrate your opinion
Dear Jane, Vikki, Brad,
ReplyDeleteI have made amendments to my post. Thank you for the constructive comment!
