TASK 2 –BRIEF EXPLANATION
Directions: Explain the questions below briefly. Five sentences each question will
do.
1. Why ethnicity affects the flow of communication?
Ethnicity affects the flow of communication, because the flow of social
communication really needs inter-ethnic bridges to overcome the problems of
inequality and community conflict due to its communication problems. We use a
relevant communication approach for this. From that ethnic and cultural diversity, a
relevant communication approach is needed. Here communication is a social process in
which individuals use symbols to create and interpret meaning in their environment.
When communication is viewed socially, communication always involves two people
interacting with various intentions, motivations and abilities to build a shared cultural
identity.
2. Why gender affects communication?
Gender affects communication because females communicate in a more indirect,
elaborate, and emotional, sense that can reflect uncertainty, tentativeness, and a
lack of authority. While males are perceived to have a communication style that is
direct, succinct, and instrumental. Although it may seem that the female
communication style might be the weaker form, it can also be said that females
are more able to establish a rapport that encourages response because of their
ability to empathize and connect. One major difference between male and female
communication style is in the amount of emotion that is used in their
conversations. Gendered cultural norms such as emotional expression and
communication styles are both learned in childhood through interactions with
family members and friends.
3. How technology affects the communication around the globe?
Technology affects communication by making it easier, quicker, and more efficient. It
allows you to track conversations and therefore provide better customer service. Tech
also makes it easier to gather customer insights and improve the entire customer
experience. As we make technological advances, new trends in communications
emerge and often become the norm. Machine learning and artificial intelligence will
have a significant impact on how we communicate. Chabot’s currently field over 25,000
conversations per month. Furthermore, 75% of all companies now use automation tools.
4. Is technology helpful in making communication easy as wanted to be?
Using technology to communicate effectively among people is a newer skill that
not all workers have. Technology and digital communication have actually helped
people with their communication skills and learning how to create messages that
are understood in so many characters or less. With technology and digital
communication, it's becoming easier to communicate because people do not
have to do that initial face-to-face interaction. This can be a good or a bad thing
depending on how one chooses to communicate. As technology becomes more
and more integrated into the way humans live their daily lives, the technology is
necessary to effectively communication.
5. Are you affected by the convenience of communication through the help of
technology? Defend your answer.
YES, I AM. I am affected by the convenience of communication through the help
of technology. I find it very easy to find information and news via the internet or
find it easy to contact someone or having a communication who‘s in a different
location from us, all of whom must have felt the sophistication of advances in
communication technology in this day and age.
