I decided to watch a show on ESPN called the CENTER. I have never watched anything that talks about athletes and what is going on. However, I do like sports, so this was very interesteing to me.
WITHOUT SOUND:
I think the reporters have respect for each other, however they have their own opinions and they see the same things just in different perspectives. I feel that they are expressing how they feel through their hand gestures and facial expressions, there is alot of smiling and it seems that there is alot of conversations being interrupted and everybody trying to talk over each other.
WITH SOUND: I still feel that they respect each other, but just have so many different opinions and everybody wants to be right and in the real world we know that, that is impossible. Yes, because there is only certain shows that I watch on a regular basis. I know the people that are on the show and I feel a connection with them, due to watching the show regularly.
I learned that communication is very detailed and deserves the speaker as well as the listener to be focused in on what is being said and what is being heard.
The aha moment for me, was watching these grown men, interrupt each other and then laugh at their colleagues the whole time they were speaking. I know that when I am in a conversation, I hate to be interrupted and cut-off in the middle of a sentence, show I can only imagine how I would be on live television in front of millions of people.
In closing, I think we MUST be considerate of each other, as well as children and their families and not only LISTEN to what is being said, but HEAR what is being said.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteGreat post girl! I also believe listening is just as important as speaking. Relationships are two-fold. In our field, it is never to early to begin to teach children this concept of waiting your turn and how to listen effectively.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteYour example shows us that positive communication can exist between two people even if their opinios differ. As long as we respect and acknowledge the opinion of the other person talking we will be able to understand each other in a wasy that is more collaborate rather than invasive or demanding.
What a great post Lori.Sound off or on is just as important because the main focus is eye contact.
ReplyDeleteLOri,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christine whether the sound is on or off what matters is the channel of communication.I am just realising the importance of our sight in communicating. Great post.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteI hate talking to people when they don't let me talk or give my opinion. They just keep talking and talking, therefore not being considerate of what the other person may be saying. I agree, we do need to be considerate of others.
