Communication is a necessity in our life. It is a way of
sharing knowledge, ideas, expressing emotions and feelings between
individuals. There are different types of communication such as speaking, hand
gestures, body language and even writing. Different type of communication is
used in different kinds of situation. This helps the communicator to convey the
message or ideas that they want effectively using the appropriate means of
communication. For example, communicating in space by speaking is ineffective
as the vacuum in space is different and sound could not travel properly. Using
hand gestures and body languages is a better way of communicating for
situations like this. This shows one of the challenges an individual might face
in communicating.
Even though there are challenges, there is also strength that
comes along in communication. Communication can bring peace and major
development of the human race. For example, nations can negate war by doing
proper negotiation which is a form of communication. Once both party agreed to
a condition, it can bring peace and lessens the casualty that could actually be done without communication. Another example of the strength of
communication is development. With proper
communication skills, people can invent new stuff. As engineers, sharing of
ideas and opinions with one another might lead to new inventions that can bring
benefits to the others such as houses, transport system and good energy
systems for the upcoming generations. We can see how Singapore had developed
from the 1960s to the current time now. This can only be done when people come
together, communicate and plan together as a team on how things can be improved
and developed further and better. Therefore the strength of communication is
great.
Two objectives that I want to achieve in this course are to
be able to communicate effectively with project groups and to be able to do a
great presentation in front of crowds with confidence. In order to do so the
only possible way is to practice more in presenting and participate in group
projects more actively.
Hello Wazi, I like that you go straight to the point on explaining what the strengths of communication are and I would agree with you on that as well. Although the idea of challenges and strengths come out strongly, I could not really see as much for the objectives part. It would be better to try and equalize the length of these three paragraphs and I believe that you are capable of writing a better one as well. Till next time.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the reflection, I agree with you on the strengths and challenges of communication. It is good to explain the points with different examples to elaborate on the message you are trying to convey across. It is also important for us to follow suit to improve ourselves in becoming a better communicator that benefits us in the future when going out to work in the society. Let's work together to achieve our goals that we set for ourselves.

ReplyDeleteHello Wazirullah, I agree with you that communication is important in our life as the knowledge shared will be quite beneficial for others. As you pointed out the positive outcome of communication, the community can be more advanced as good ideas are consistently shared with each other. Regarding your last paragraph, I feel that I share the same concern with you. Let's help each other out so that we can be better and more confident presenters in the future.
