Decent Essays

A brief overview of the building a bridge activity is that as a group, we would use communication to help us build similar halves of a bridge once we divide into two groups within our original group, that are separated by a tarp. Communication helped us achieve the goal of having a similar bridge halves even though there was the obstacle of only being allowed to ask 3 questions to our other group during the building process.

The first struggle within my group was that we were all talking over each other to get our opinions across which we quickly discovered

    She told us that not everyone knows how to communicate and that nothing sets a project back like two people unable to communicate. Communication professionals bridge the gap between other professionals in the same setting who lack strong communications skills. An efficient communicator can hear two sides of something and can find a middle ground. In addition to finding a middle ground, they can successfully convey the message of one party to the other, in much the same way a language translator tells one person in one language what another means in a second…

    In the light of my previous discussion of philosophy as a spiritual practice, I argue that spiritual pretenses are our bridge pretenses.

To put ourselves forward in this area of life is to develop a spiritual pretense and to perfect this pretense is to nurture our spirituality. In defining what spirituality is, I follow Arnold I. Davidson in his comment on Hadot’s work.…
