Communicating

Communication is part of our lives, something that we cannot take away. It is necessary because it is how we express ourselves and make other people understand what we want to tell them. The things we say may affect other people's actions, decisions, and/or points of view. In a way, the messages we convey, though written or not, influences the way of thinking of the audience we speak with.

That's why our subject CA201 interests me. It helps me define different ways to communicate, that there has to be a medium to do so. Information will only be significant if your receiver can comprehend with what you're saying. For example, primetime news programs TV Patrol (ABS-CBN) and 24 Oras (GMA 7) use the Filipino language to cater to the mass. It will be easier for the common people to understand and give their comments about the current affairs. Information is easily spread throughout the country, even overseas.

Through the information we send, we get feedback from others. Whether good or bad, it is important because it is through feedback that we learn if people believe us, and we will know how to improve our ways of speaking out and relating to others. Our personal experiences may be the same with that of other people, and this may lead us to new friends.

These are only some of the things I have learned about communication. I know it has more complex sides that I should discover, so that I may use it as effectively as I could. I know i can improve myself and also influence others to make more meaning in their lives through communicating with them. :-)
