Throughout the many years’ humans have been on earth we have always been studying other animals, and the way they communicate, and through the many discoveries we have found many animals that have shown incredibly communication abilities, like dolphins who are able to communicate with a complex language and Titi monkeys who talk with sentence structure.

In today’s fast-paced society people have secluded themselves from others by spending the majority of their time using technological devices. Most people cannot leave home without a menagerie of electronics. The effects of all the screen time are beginning to show themselves in the ability to effectively communicate and the metamorphosis in the definition of relationships (Deresiewicz, 290; Turkle, 84).

The actions that I reveal when I am communicating to an audience are discussing a dull subject, poor preparation and lack of self-confidence. I often chose topics that may interest me, but not my audience. The people in the audience seem to not be interested in what I am saying, which is shown through their tired face expressions, daydreaming and are distracted by other actions taking place or their personal belongings. In addition to this, I do not prepare for a speech as thoroughly as I should. I tend to not know exactly how I am going to state my thoughts clearly because I wait until the last minute to practice my speech and it makes it hard to remember exactly what I’m trying to say. Both of these habits develop the lack of self-confidence I have when presenting to an audience. I worry about what people may think of my appearance, the message I am trying to send through my words and how I present the message. The combination of these flaws results in the bad habits I experience during public speaking, which includes shaking, stuttering, heart palpitations and nervousness. These bad habits prevent me from reaching my full potential of being an effective communicator. Although the points I mentioned stand to be true, I want to set goals so that I can improve my communication skills and follow better practices to grow as a communicator.

Conversation is changing dynamically as society ushers in a new era of communication. Social media has been a revelation in the way society interacts with one another. It is often celebrated for the ability to connect individuals over extensive distances; however, it is quickly creating a disconnect between people communicating face-to-face. There are three prevalent issues plaguing modern society’s interpersonal communication: Social media becomes an addiction, the interaction between reality and the online landscape, and social media teaches society to multitask. Social media has caused attention span to plummet and society has become increasingly enamored with an online world; thus, causing individuals to be detracted from their environment and less sociable in face-to-face communication.

Where would society be today without effective communication? As time progressed, citizens of various nations have found new ways to convey a message whether it was through pictures like hieroglyphics, body language, or spoken orally. Since then, one would think language is on a steady rise, but is it really? Language is a form of communication but also a way to connect. I believe that down the line, the ability to connect and effectively communicate through language went on a decline and it is showing in the language of today’s citizens. It is known universally that a first impression is one of the only lasting ones. It is the way a person speaks, the firmness of their handshake, and body language that makes the biggest difference. But it is also the uniqueness of each person that makes the world exciting. As I read Molly Worthen’s “Stop Saying ‘I Feel Like’” and Deborah Cameron’s “Just Don’t Do It”, I pondered on the idea of how interactions with others changes the depth of situations, along with factors like gender and relationship. The key component in each article is the way that women communicate. Since the beginning of time, women have been silent by men which I believe is one of the contributing factors of the communication issues today. The lack of being taught how to effectively communicate, being in an environment of effective communication, and being spoken to are factors that I believe make the biggest difference.

Click. Buzz. Ring Ring. What comes to mind when these tones are heard? For the majority, it will be that exciting feeling of getting a text, or something of relation, that they have been either thinking in the back of their mind about or staring at their phone not able to wait to see what they receive. As their screen lights up with that notification, so does their face with a bright smile of excitement. This is not truly recognized as a social relationship, there are numerous times that I will go out to dinner, with my family and be excited to tell them about something new that has been going on, but everyone around me is so consumed by a phone or tablet, that there is no room to absorb everyone’s present. I find this matter to be rather frustrating because when I am with any one specific person(s) they should be getting nearly my undivided attention and vice versa. Relationships are built upon human contact. Technology becomes a problem because it causes a distortion of what is actually being said, it hurts interpersonal relationships, as well as an overall lack of interaction with people.

Over the years, technology has enabled communications to occur over vast distances, allowing people to connect with one another, all throughout the globe. Modern day developments allow an assortment of channels for people to escape social isolation; people are able to express themselves through text, video, and photos. In the article “The Flight from Conversation,” Sherry Turkle emphasizes society’s willingness to confide in one another through the barrier of a communication device; people prefer regulating interpersonal communications that makes him or her comfortable. Van Willingham wrote the article “Scientists Look to Help Children with Autism Find a Voice,” to reiterate the idea that children with autism lack the ability to understand auditory information; as a result, people with autism are more likely to face complications while engaging in face-to-face conversations. Although the use of social media isn’t a permanent solution to end social isolation, the implementation of social media should be utilized in the speech therapy process for people with autism.

The need to communicate has driven much development in human history, and the need to communicate over distances too great to shout over has been just as important. From smoke signals to semaphore, from signposts to sending letters via messenger, we have discovered faster and more effective means of communicating. Still, it became more and more necessary to communicate instantly.

It is no secret that men and women have different communication styles. We begin to see these differences in communication when we are young and continue to see them as we get older. Communication and trust are two of the sole characteristics that must be apart of any relationship we have with the same sex or the opposite sex. Men and women must learn to communicate well together because of the inherent fact that they will be working along side each other whether it be in a friendly relationship, romantic relationship, in day to day life, or in the workplace. I believe that the key to success in maintaining good communication skills amongst men and women is to accept the fact that we communicate in different ways and not try to change this, but learning how to cater to each others different communication needs.

Language allows us to bring life to things, people, places and experiences. However, choices of what language to use has an impact on perception of our message, so when communicating it is important to know not only how different language can benefit a communication, but also how it can be a hindrance. There are 6 barriers in language that can have ill-effects on the message that is being conveyed: clichés, jargon, slang, sexism/racism, euphemisms and doublespeak. This essay will describe each so that they will be easy to recognize and avoid in the communication process.

In today’s society, one can see that there lies a huge gap between doctors and patients in trust and confidence. Doctors are not showing any emotions to their patients, and they do not often listen very carefully to what the patient has to say or feels. In the story The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins, one sees lack of communication with the patient and her doctor, who in this case is also her husband. But he is not a good communicator with his patient, the patient in this case is losing trust in doctors because of this gap. He places his wife under the rest cure, but it causes her condition to worsen. His belief is that by not allowing her to do anything, not even to write, it will help her become better, but one later on finds out that it was not the right cure. Also in the Prose Women and Son, in Pulse by Paul Gross, the doctor doesn’t communicate well with his patient. He doesn’t show any emotions while telling his patient what they have and if its inheritable or not. This causes the women to lose hope and feel as if she is being dropped in a dark Rome where no one can help. Through the prose Mother and Son, from Pulse and the story The Yellow wall-paper, one can argue there is a huge gap in communication between doctors and patients.
