Well, perhaps i shall talk something about human communication, no, narrow it down to verbal communication. What is it? Verbal communication is one way for people to communicate face-to-face. Some of the key components of verbal communication are sound, words, speaking, and language. Verbal communications can be categorized into several types which include interpersonal communication, intrapersonal communication, public speaking and more.
At birth, most of us have vocal cords which produce sounds obviously. For example, as a child grows, it learns how to form this sound into words and sentences where these words may be imitative of natural sounds and also from expression of emotions such as laughter or crying.
Verbal communication helps human being to speak out what they think, how they feel and who they are. One of the awesome thing about verbal communication would be it helps to eliminate misunderstandings, AT TIMES. Yet, there are cases where people try to solve misunderstandings through speaking, unfortunately, things become worse.
The picture above shows that people often create misunderstandings ACCIDENTALLY by communicating WRONGLY. Sometimes we do use words that are not appropriate or correct, but i believe we do not mean what the other party thinks, which is usually negative. So, i think we can actually 'blame' the so called 'verbal communication' for bringing such unwanted misunderstandings at times. So people, think before you speak. Whatever you speak might affect the way how people think about you.
