challenging

In order to identify the perceptive toward our environment, we need to define our own point of view. There are many diffirent ways that we can interpret the subject. We had to look at the baby picture of the classmate. It is very interesting to be aware of our own perception. Once we are aware of what we are doing we may at least understand how and why we come up with that idea. It is a very effective way to raise our awareness and influence our learning process.

"Picture & Story Tell Day"

Every class is intriguing and I always learn something new to remove fear from my life. The picture and tell a story behind what we perceived was a great way for me see how perception is not always accurate, instead it's a collection of information of my own experience. Listening to the other stories made me laugh because of what people's assumptions where by just looking at a picture and we were not correct because we applied our own perception. This exercise was much more relaxing than last week when we had to self disclosure.

The lesson taught before lunch was impacting for me because I realize that my flaw in life is that I put to much meaning in to everything I do. I see now why I am so emotional and why my feelings are out of control it's because I did not know that putting so much meaning in to everythng caused anxiety and stress. No wonder I have been feeling full of anxiety, doubt, and stress because I can not find the meaning at this stage of my life right now. Now I see why I have been ill and unable to even be myself over trying to put meaning in my next chapter in life when I should be just letting go and trust that life will align it self. I am reflecting now and it is easier said than done but at least I know what has been troubling and I could attack this flaw of mind. All these years I am looking for meaning, instead I was driving my self crazy.

Now I go eat lunch ; )

Third day of class.

Believe me every class in HUC is interesting because we cannot just sit and lesson, always have something new in class. For example, we need to regornize the photo of our classmate and make a suggestion or opinoin what they gonna be in their future. It is interesting because Prof want to make sure that our brain is working every moment in the class. Honestly, communication is really important because every word that we express may have different meaning, if we don't how to communicate in the right term it may cause a problem.
Finally, we have been grouped in to 6 people and this is the time for us to work ever harder. We have been decided to work for the question number 2 as to create some music video, but we still don't have any clue what song is the best for the theme. We already voted for the team leader and we also share our contact information in order to work this project smoothly. I never work with the group that so challenging and this is my first group work in class that we really need to work together in order to get it done. Everyone of us have to find one of the theme song, therefore we could choose for the best song to fulfill the theme.

Heat As Communication

Today we talked about different persectives in communication. The psychological perspective focuses on message transmission and the conditions that allow that to happen. How does this week's temperatures affect how and what we communicate? Walking around, it seems that people are sluggish, tired, and lacking the energy to be "consciously aware," or "proactive" in their communication! Imagine if this were to last for several weeks. How would this affect our lives? Our jobs? Our relationships? Our economy? Therefore, is heat communication in itself or is it simply interference?

Conscious awareness

It is an act when bad consequences can be avoided through proactive response in communication. Without conscious awareness fatal damages will result from collusion of two different perceptions. Proactive action will help solve the problem and usually benefit those who initiates.
Imagine if each human being acts proactively and has conscious awareness, the world will always be in peace.

Perception and Communication Prospective On My Third Class by Shoma M

What is perception? To some it is the recognition of things using the senses while to others perception of something or someone is your understanding of them According to my studies in Psychological science, perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of sensory information. There are two basic theories of perception: Passive Perception and Active Perception. The passive perception is addressed could be surmised as the following sequence of events: surrounding → input (senses) → processing (brain) → output (re-action). Although still supported by mainstream philosophers, psychologists and neurologists, this theory is nowadays losing momentum. The theory of active perception has emerged from extensive research of sensory illusions and is increasingly gaining experimental support and could be surmised as dynamic relationship between “description” (in the brain) ↔ senses ↔ surrounding.
It is the real defination but I strongly belive that like how every thing is not permanent ,your perception for any thing or for anyone can change.

I loved the class project in the morning with classmates childhood pictures.It made me realize how, when we donot know about something we creat an illiusion about the situation which may be totaly different from the real situation . How we have the power to creat some thing important and not important to us. Love the fact that we are meaning making machine and lot of the time we creat meaning of any communication far too different than it actually is.
Communication is so powerful tool that it can creat or distroy evrything around us let it be relations, way of life or way of dying .

the third week of class

Today the first half of class was fun, we were told to bring in baby pictures and had to play a little game where we give our perception on someone elses baby picture. Which turned out to be good tho some were way off but we still got to share a few laughs. Looking foward to the second half of class.

3rd class

Today I like the c lass a lot.First of all it started with fun part.We were making stories about pictures of our classmetes.Ans it was king of game and a lot of fun.And at the same time we lerned new things such as perception.I learnt about open and close minded people and the meaning that we gave and receive.I am very ambisious person and I have a lot of meaning for everything.And it doesn't make my life easier.Professor told us that only we can change it inside us and give less meaning.I really need this because I always overreact and give meaning for everything
Also I learned aboutethnocentrism and extremism, and realized that it is true.Exrtemists are very closeminded people and they believe in their own world and don't want to know what is going on outside it.And many times I do exactly the same.But it is not so good and I need to change it.I really enjoy this class.I know that it teaches me a lot. And I am looking forward for next one

7.7.10

For today's class, we had to bring in our baby picture and the professor distributed the baby pictures to the class. We had to create a background and a story for the baby in the photos. Basically from this mini group work, the professor wanted to explain to us about perception and how perception affects our interpretations. And that interpretation or assumption can be completely incorrect or correct because of our open-mindedness or the lack of it. Also ethnocentrism can have a positive or negative impact on a person's communication because a person can talk about their culture with pride, but they can also belittle or degrade other cultures that are different from theirs.
I also learned about the four different ways of communication. The psychological aspect of communication is when there is communication between the sender and reciever, which can be done verbally or nonverbally. Also the communication is effective or ineffective because of the environment. Social constructionist is common amongst socialist, the communication is not based on an individual but it's about communicating to make the world a better place for everyone. Pragmatic communication is more strategized, the communication is manipulated or planned out so that the reciever to react in a certain way. Also there is a cultural study in relations to communication, how a culture or language can affect communication. The professor also explained about how we are meaning making machines, we try to make a meaning from everything in our lives and this affects our communication. We were to lose meaning in speaking in public, we may be able to become better communicators because we don't care for it and we get over the fear of it. We also formed groups for the group project, hopefully we'll be able to work together and create a great presentation.

Yesterday was a reall good class. I really enjoyed hearing other student's self disclosure. I did not expect that some students would have the strenght to go deeper and share with us their most important things to the point that i couldn't help myself and cried. Most self disclosures touched my heart and made me remind of things that i lived in the past as a child. I felt very identified with one in special. When my classmate started talking about what is live alone meaning no mother broke my heart. I know what is like to live alone. My siblings and i had to live by our own. Even though my parents provided everthing for us, there was always something that was missing. Love and Affect. Talking just by phone or having everthing is not indispensable. what care the most is being with the loved nes. When we were children , my parents came to the here and since then my oldest sister had to take care of us. Imagen a fitteen girl had to handle everthing. However, i finally gathered my parents and i am grateful with God for giving that chance to see them again. it was such great experience listening and sharing with my new classmates the bittersweets about their lives.
