Communication Reflection (Purposive Communication Class) | Lourenzo Manimtim 1st Year AB Political Science

 

I thought...

I thought that communication is very simple, where it just takes place a sender and a receiver to make a communication successful. Whenever people engage in a transaction of information through words.

I thought that I know many things about communication but there is a lot more to learn. I know the basics, but this subject just delves much deeper on what communication and its purpose.

I also thought that communication is just all about talking. I thought that we only communicate when we talk.

I thought that communication is always intended and never realize that communication can happen even when we are not looking.

I thought that communication is only between me and you.


I learned that...

I learned that communication is complex process, more than just a relationship between a sender and a receiver. There are more things in the process such as channel, message, barriers, and the feedback.

I learned that in communication there are many things that we must set on our mind. Like, you must sensitive and observant of who are you going to talk to and at the same time respect the context, adjust your communication depending on the environment and who are you going to talk to.

I learned that communication, can be verbal or done orally, the communication using words, non-verbal, communication through use of tone, body language, personal space, personal attire, etc., and written communication, or communication through literary forms like writing a love letter.

I also learned that communication can be intentional or unintentional, communication is intended, when you prepare or plan whatever you are going to say it can be in presentations, meetings, debates or speech contests, then communication is unintentional, whenever you eavesdrop ‘marites’ and accidentally hear some confidential info, or doing things by accident like saying a swear word, after you hit your toe, while talking to your boss. There are many more examples and they are fun to ponder!

Then lastly, communication can come in any forms, there are many styles and techniques. But the most important part of communication is when two understands each other’s message and give feedback to one another.

That’s all for the many things I can say! Thank you and Blessed Be God Forever!

The “I” and “My” by George Herbert Mead: A Reflective Essay by: Lourenzo Manimtim

            The “I” and “Me” and the Generalized others, of George Herbert Mead, focuses on the effects of the significant others in the development of our perception of the self. In contrast to the study of Charles Cooley, where he believed that the other people are the ones that play a significant role on how we view our selves. Mead instead focused on the significant others, the significant people that may influence to our perception of the self and how those people thoughts of us changes across the lifespan. The special people which Mead refers are the closest people to us, most especially our family, relatives, peers and even your loved one. Mead’s theory highlights the effect of the significant others, their influence in our life to what they expect us to become. In this theory of the social self, we will understand the views, thoughts and expectations of society had of us and how it affects the development of our self. “I” is the individual...

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE FILIPINO DEMOCRACY | By: Lourenzo Manimtim

  THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE FILIPINO DEMOCRACY   By: Lourenzo Manimtim The state of the nation depends on states of citizens, and a nation is governed by leaders and the leaders are elected by the citizens. It is not a very big surprise to see usual the political situation of the Philippines, shown in the media are the rampant cases of corruption, incompetence of leaders, violence, and greed.   Most politicians operate by their own interests, primarily the traditional politicians, the large and corrupt big political families that rule the power and government in our country. And many of these families are fat dynasties, with their greed of power and wealth they leech and drain the country of its resources. But aside from the fat dynasties, there also other ordinary politicians that use their power for their own interests. But amidst the current situation we cannot take for granted that there are also good politicians that loyally serves and loves their country and the socie...

  The State of Rights and Democracy in the Strongman’s War on Drugs A Reflection Paper by Lourenzo Manimtim               “If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, holdup men, and do-nothings, you better get out because I'll kill you.” (Human Rights Watch, Conde, 2017)             On May 9, 2016, the former president said those words beginning the herald of the campaign against illegal drugs— The “War on Drugs”. Not too long since words were spoken death and misery have spiked in the country in the first six (6) months of his presidency— the administration has led to an unprecedented number of killings (Rapper, 2016). Many people were killed, and many were slain in this bloody and brutal war. Reminiscence of this wretched memory still lingers in the minds of the people. The rampant cases and detrimental brea...
