Ping Pong Slingshot Popsicle Sticks
I communicate, you communicate, we all communicate How many times in your school years saw the communication scheme drawn on the blackboard? Surely in the language class, many times. But what really understand this process seems so simple and in fact is not? Yes, we all know that we are in the era of communications and the advances are faster than our capacity to understand.
To do this, I find it interesting that we start by analyzing the meaning of COMMUNICATION. If we look in the dictionary it will tell you: it is to find something to someone; is to transmit messages using a common code and other things. Beyond these definitions, the act of communication, so wonderful and helpful to people, natural and spontaneous, is a cooperative process. That is, men are constantly communicating because it is a vital necessity, since we are social beings in a world with others with whom we interact constantly. Moreover, the functioning of our society is possible through communication.
If we seek the etymological origin of the word, the word comes from Latin. The adjective "communist" means common. Furthermore, the verb "informs" can be translated as send, share or have communication with others. So it is transmitted or communicated to share with others, any messages with a specific purpose.
existed since man found a way to convey to his peers what he felt and through the centuries, has refined the way it is transmitted. But the spoken word has been the main channel. You understand, we, unlike all other beings on the planet, endowed with this wonderful ability to express to others what we feel and think, express ideas and access to information and knowledge. How wonderful!
It is therefore essential to understand that as a user of a tool as important as the language, you must acquire the necessary skills to be an effective speaker, able to produce and interpret the messages that bombard you and beat constantly. If you perfect the art of communicating this will allow you undoubtedly operate freely and own opinion. In closing I leave a phrase I read somewhere:
"I communicate therefore I am."
