Blog Communication
"At
its most basic level, communication predates
human language by millions of years. Long
before words, grammar, or writing, living
creatures were exchanging signals to stay
alive.According
to
Encyclopedia Britannica,
animal communication is the process by which
one animal provides information that others
can use to make decisions affecting their
survival and well-being. This is not a
social nicety – it is a life-or-death
mechanism."Source

Communication exists
even among the
animals that inhabit
our planet and since
our earliest existence has always
been a vital part of
our
a personal, tribal,
cultural, national
and international
ways of talking,
expressing our
opinions (and
disagreements),
theories, ideas,
discoveries and
basic survival. It
has taken many forms
such body language,
verbal, hand signs,
as well as written
signals. Non
verbal
communications have had
great impact on our
military, theories, opinions, actions, thoughts
and feelings.
Wars,
personal arguments,
confrontations and
relationships have
been affected
because of what a
person says (or
not says) or a particular
look. Think of the
many wars (both
civil and
international),
religious
persecutions,
political upheavals,
civil
confrontations,
social breakups and
personal
confrontations that have
plagued our planet
because of what was
said or not said in
our history.
Political
communications can
and will effect
military operations,
international
relationships,
social discourse,
economic and,
other political movements.
As a teacher,
photographer, union
official and
corporate official
my communications or
lack of
communication often
had both a negative
and positive affect. My suggestion we
must improve our
human contact with
our fellow humans.
Put down the cell,
move away from the
computer and talk to
one another. Restore the human
element back in our
corporations,
stores, news
agencies,
answering machines,
customer service,
computer systems and
even the cell
phones. People need
to start
communication to
each other directly.
Also don't always
accept what is said
and research the
topic. Trust but
verify to quote
Reagan.
"To effectively communicate, we must
realize that we are all different in the way
we perceive the world and use this
understanding as a guide to our
communication with others." —
Anthony Robbins
Carol Burnett
is attributed with saying, "Words, once they
are printed, have a life of their own". The
quote suggests that once ideas are published
or spoken, they take on their own meaning
and impact beyond the original intent of the
speaker.
