Communication is one of the most powerful tool for people convey their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Although, it seem that communication is the most easier way for humans to deliver their ideas, the author Laura Greenstein explains in our textbook, “Humans communicate in the most complex ways: in writing, orally, visually, and thought multiple sensory modalities” (94). In other words, communication is more than to articulated words to define our thoughts. Especially, when through communication, teachers have to transfer knowledge to their students.

    It can be argued that where technology is central to the modern classroom environment, this form of education is contributing to the ‘blur’ between the real and digital world. However, this argument is widely criticised. For example, Piaget (1952), disagree with the very foundation of this argument. Cognitive constructivists argue that reality is subjective; humans create their own meaning of what is real in this world (Swan, 2005).…

    The above excerpt is a quote from W.E.B. Du Bois, an African American academic and cultural leader. Although Du Bois’ words are open to some degree of thematic interpretation, there is an undeniable message about the significance of conversations in his statement. I believe communication is the primary theme of this excerpt: productive discussions and constructive criticisms are not only beneficial but also necessary to education, inclusiveness, and democratic society as a whole. Communication is inherently crucial to education because of the format within which traditional learning occurs. Teachers select information and present it to students, but this presentation of information would be pointless without discourse to further develop students’ knowledge of the material.…

    Over the course of many years, humans have innovatively advanced in the field of technology. Students, these days, live in a world with vastly more complex technology, than that of previous generations. In Mark Bauerlein’s book, The Dumbest Generation, he talks about how the present generation is the “dumbest” because we lack in knowledge, as a result of spending too much time on technology. However, technology has done more good in terms of our generation’s fundamental cognitive capacities: the ability to analyze an argument, to distinguish fact from opinion, to think critically and logically. Apart from our cognitive capacities, technology also allows this generation to acquire various forms of literacy by themselves, further expanding self-directed learning.…

    Our earliest ancestors were limited to face-to-face verbal and non-verbal interactions. Then we developed written modes of communication, which we have since digitalized to the point that someone in Beijing, China have have an instantaneous conversation with someone in Reykjavik, Iceland. However, technological advances push farther and farther towards recreating the experience of face-to-face communication over digital means—proving that in-person, verbal communication, underscored by tone of voice and body language, is still the most effective and satisfying way for humans to communicate. I have so far highlighted what I consider two identifying characteristics of human beings: our complex intellectual life and our desire to bond with others. Communication theory is the union of the two.…
