Sherry Turkle also tells us how we can resolve this. She says people have to lessen their online
communications and further more their face to face conversations. Otherwise technology will take over and
there will no more face to face conversations.

, Kyla Mae K.Q1A – BS BiologyPurposive Communication1.What does Turkle mean when she writes
that "we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection?" How does she support this view in the
paragraphs that follow?Turkle claimed that due to technological advancements, the people of
thisgeneration have sacrificed conversation for mere connection. This means that wechoose to turn into
our gadgets rather than to the people around us. We think thathaving a constant connection in our
digital devices is the same as having a face-to-faceconversation. She supported this claim by citing real-
life situations regarding theimpacts and effects of being too dependent in our gadgets, such as being used
to theconcept of being “alone together”, meaning even though you don’t talk face-to-face youcan still be
with one another in the way of connecting through social media. She alsoexplained that this concept
gives them the freedom to control where we focus ourattention and to modify our lives. Turkle stated
that young people would show up ontheir jobs wearing earphones because they grew up fearing
conversation. What Turklewants to tell us is the value of a real conversation, not through our devices
but throughface-to-face communication.

WE live in a technological universe in which we are always communicating. And yet we

have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.

At home, families sit together, texting and reading e-mail. At work executives text
during board meetings. We text (and shop and go on Facebook) during classes and when
we’re on dates. My students tell me about an important new skill: it involves
maintaining eye contact with someone while you text someone else; it’s hard, but it can
be done.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve studied technologies of mobile connection and talked to
hundreds of people of all ages and circumstances about their plugged-in lives. I’ve
learned that the little devices most of us carry around are so powerful that they change
not only what we do, but also who we are.

We’ve become accustomed to a new way of being “alone together.” Technology-

enabled, we are able to be with one another, and also elsewhere, connected to
wherever we want to be. We want to customize our lives. We want to move in and
out of where we are because the thing we value most is control over where we
focus our attention. We have gotten used to the idea of being in a tribe of one, loyal
to our own party.

Our colleagues want to go to that board meeting but pay attention only to what interests
them. To some this seems like a good idea, but we can end up hiding from one another,
even as we are constantly connected to one another.

MIT professor Sherry Turkle argues that as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Based on
hundreds of interviews and with a new introduction taking us to the present day, Alone Together describes
changing, unsettling relationships between friends, lovers, and families.

Another resources

The test is one of many cited by Sherry Turkle in Alone Together as evidence that
humanity is nearing a "robotic moment". We already filter companionship through
machines; the next stage, she says, is to accept machines as companions. Soon, robots
will be employed in "caring" roles, entertaining children or nursing the elderly, filling
gaps in the social fabric left where the threads of community have frayed. Meanwhile,
real-world interactions are becoming onerous. Flesh-and-blood people with their untidy
impulses are unreliable, a source of stress, best organised through digital interfaces –
BlackBerries, iPads, Facebook.
This not a science-fiction dystopia. Alone Together is the culmination of years of
empirical research. Turkle has watched people interact with machines and socialise on
digital networks. Her inquiry starts out clinical and becomes philosophical: can
humanity transform the way it communicates without altering, at some level, what it
means to be human?
Plainly, technology is doing peculiar things to us. The average American teenager sends
thousands of text messages every month, and spends hours each day on Instant
Messenger, MySpace and Facebook. (Email, Turkle reports, is considered old-fashioned
by most under-25s.) None of these things existed a generation ago. Adults are matching
the pace of digitisation set by their children, eking out proxy lives on blogs, in multi-
player games and chatrooms. Millions of us appear to find simulations of life more
alluring than life. We are training ourselves to fear a world unmediated by computers.
Turkle is not a luddite, nor is Alone Together a salvo in some analogue counter-
reformation. But it does add to a growing body of cyber-sceptic literature: recent
examples include Nicholas Carr's The Shallows, warning that our cognitive faculties
decay as we skim distractedly from one webpage to another, and Evgeny
Morozov's The Net Delusion, which rebuts fashionable notions of the web as a tool for
advancing democracy. These are correctives to what Turkle calls the "heroic narrative"
of the internet – the effusions of digital evangelists who confuse technological advance
with human progress.
The argument in Alone Together unfolds in two halves. The first section deals with
objects that imitate living things. Turkle's subjects, mostly children and the elderly, are
given robot companions for varying lengths of time. Universally, a bond is formed. The
Furby exerts a hold over anyone who nurtures it for a few weeks. More sophisticated
models provoke deep emotional connections. Scientists developing the latest robots
report feelings of pseudo-parental attachment. They hate leaving the machines "alone"
in empty laboratories at night.
The machines are still primitive, nowhere near the Hollywood version of sociable
androids. But people have always had an extraordinary capacity to project human traits
on to inanimate objects. It only takes a bit of interactivity before our minds go a step
further and start projecting consciousness. In Turkle's observations, the difference
between playing with a doll and playing with a robot is the difference between pretence
and belief. Even when a replica behaves implausibly, we compensate, filling the gaps in
its repertoire with imagined feelings. Turkle calls this "the Eliza effect", after an early
experiment in intelligent software. Students were asked to converse with Eliza, probing
its capacity to imitate human chat. Instead of exposing the program's weaknesses,
everyone pandered to its strengths. They wanted the computer to be lifelike and
manipulated the test to help it succeed.

Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, says our
devices are not only changing the way we communicate and interact with each
other, but also who we are as human beings. “What concerns me as a
developmental psychologist is watching children grow in this new world where
being bored is something that never has to be tolerated for a moment,” Turkle
tells Moyers. “Everyone is always having their attention divided between the
world of people [they’re] with and this ‘other’ reality.”

3. The Disadvantages of Technology on Communication

By Laurel Storm

As modern technology grows and advances by leaps and bounds, so too does its effect
on our life and society. The impact of technological improvements on communication, in
particular, has been extensive and largely positive, helping people keep in touch with
each other more effectively and efficiently. However, you need only look at the nearest
gaggle of teenagers glued to their cell phones to realize that there are also plenty of
downsides from technology's impact on communication.

The Lost Art of Conversation

Technology such as text messages and email allows us to communicate in short,

carefully-edited sentences that lack immediacy and completely remove the contextual
information provided by tone of voice and body language. As a result, people who
connect with others primarily through technology might find it difficult to engage in
normal conversation, since they may have issues understanding non-verbal cues due to
lack of practice with face-to-face interaction that can't be paused, edited or filtered.

Deteriorating Language

Books, dictionaries and treatises have been written on the vocabulary and peculiarities
of online and text messaging slang. This slang can prove extremely confusing for
people who are not native English speakers, making it harder to discern the meaning of
a sentence; people who regularly text or chat online may end up using it, out of sheer
habit, even in situations where it is inappropriate or out of place, such as in business
messages or school essays.

Enabling Rudeness

Because communicating through technology creates a barrier between people that isn't
there when speaking face to face, some may find it easier to be rude and aggressive.
Insulting or threatening messages from anonymous commenters are par for the course
for anybody who regularly publishes online content, and even lack of anonymity doesn't
alleviate the issue -- Facebook arguments and the like are also relatively common.
Sherry Turkle, professor of the social studies of science and technology at MIT,
suggests that this happens because technology keeps us from having to see the
reaction of the person on the receiving end of the message, making it harder to
empathize with him.

Constant Disruption

Technology allows us to always be reachable if we want to be, no matter where we are

or what we're doing. Although this can be beneficial, it may also lead to a vicious cycle
of stress and anxiety in which people feel pressured to immediately check and answer
any incoming messages, emails or phone calls regardless of whether it is appropriate,
for fear of being seen as inadequate or inattentive. In turn, this can potentially cause the
breakdown of the very same relationships the person is trying to maintain.

Module 2

Assessment

Family communication necessitates the expression of one’s feelings about someone

else or something through both verbal and non-verbal communication among family
members. Effective family communication is central in the creation of healthy families
and strengthens the bonds of love among family members.

Communication within family members helps in early detection of family differences

among members and offers an immediate solution to any conflict, which might occur.
Healthy communication in the family creates an enabling environment in which
members not only pass information about their wants, needs, feelings, or admirations,
but also listen to what others have to say.

Effective family communication therefore, cannot be complete without effective listening

internalization of the spoken words then giving of response (Gottman, 1994, p.46).
Listening is as critical as talking in a healthy communication. Good family relationships
including marriages count on good family communication where people express their
love and friendship through the exchange of their feelings to each other.

Furthermore, the only efficient way of passing family information from the elder
generation to the younger generation is effective communication between the source of
the information and the recipient of the information.

Openness in family communication and honesty propagates trust among family

members and therefore, creates an atmosphere whereby individuals can express their
thoughts without fear of contradiction and intimidation.

According to Graham, “In order for effective communication to take place within families,
individual family members must be open and honest with on another” (1996, p. 24).
Trust creates strong relationships among family members.

Other resources

Communication within the family is extremely important because it enables members to express their needs,
wants, and concerns to each other. Open and honest communication creates an atmosphere that allows family
members to express their differences as well as love and admiration for one another.

Other resources

Family communication is important because families who can communicate find it a lot easier to discuss
issues, problems, and even crises when they occur. If you know how families work, issues and problems arise
often. Listening and becoming a better listener is important because families need to understand each other and
be compassionate with one another. Communication patterns affect family relationships in a huge way.
In chapter 11 of "Interpersonal Communication; relating to others", family is defined as "a social
group having specified roles and statuses with ties of blood, marriage, or adoption who usually share a
common residence and cooperate economically." There are two ways to look at interactions with family. There
is communication between family members and among family members. Communication among family
members involves communication of the family in its entirety. Communication between family members looks
at each individual relationship.
The book "Interpersonal Communication; relating to others" defines both communication and
interpersonal communication. Communication is defined as the "process of acting on information" and
interpersonal communication is defined as "a distinctive form of communication that occurs when you interact
with another person and mutually influence each other, usually for the purpose of managing relationships." A
family is an interpersonal relationship; a family influences each other every day. A child is influenced by it's
parents form the time they are born and there on out. A man might influence a woman because of the influence
his family had on him growing up and vice-versa.
In order to communicate well with your family, you really need to be a good listener. If you don't
listen to how they feel and need, how are you going to be there when what they need is you.

Module 3

1. Common unethical behaviors include plagiarism, including in both written and non-written forms
of communication; breaking confidentiality; and the manipulation of information. This includes
many forms of propaganda, which inherently encourage exclusive hierarchies of power.

Examples of Unethical Behavior

 Lying to your spouse about how much money you spent.

 Lying to your parents about where you were for the evening.
 Stealing money from the petty cash drawer at work.
 Lying on your resume in order to get a job.
 Talking about a friend behind his back.
 Taking credit for work you did not do.

 Lies

Lying is a trait that is detested in and outside the workplace. It kills trust, affects
relationships and may even put people in trouble.

There are different situations where employees lie in the workplace—with just one lie
opening the floor for many others. It could be a sales manager lying about the number
of clients they were able to get in a month or an employee calling in sick just to attend
another job interview.

A lot of employees start lying from their CV, by adding experiences they didn't acquire,
and the skills they don't have. Employees need to understand that lying about work may
eventually get them in trouble and needs to stop before they lose their job.

However, we notice that employees lie due to fear of their employer—an employee will
call in sick to go for interviews because companies frown against employees
interviewing at another company. HR should put up a more friendly culture that will
encourage people to progress in their careers taking up other jobs and even support
them throughout the process.

 Taking Credit for Others Hard Work

It is very common for managers to take credit for their team member's hard work when
reporting to the management. A team member may have brought an idea that helped
the sales team improve their sales by 200%.
However, when giving a report, the manager doesn't mention the team member's name
but claims the idea as his. Employees need to reduce the use of "I", but embrace the
use of " We".

By taking credit for another person's work, you will be denying the person a promotion,
bonus or commendation for a job well done. This will discourage the person from
sharing ideas that will benefit the company in the future.

 Verbal Harassment/Abuse

Employees need to stay away from using foul language on coworkers in and out of the
workplace. This is very important when dealing with customers.

Customers are known to get angry and may result in verbal abuse due to a bad product
or service. They may even get insult you when they are at fault.

As a customer care representative, salesperson or any other employee, it is beth

important that you don't use abusive words on customers no matter how provoked.

 Violence
Similar to verbal harassment, employees should not be violent when dealing with
coworkers and customers. Customers may likely provoke you, but it is better to keep
shut and walk away rather than turn violent.

 Non-Office Related Work

A lot of employees have side hustles which they use to supplement salaries. This is
very good and only very few companies are against employees working to make money
outside work hours.

However, some employees still do non-office related work during office hours.
Employees who have side hustles should try doing them on weekends or employing
other people to handle some of the business logistics to avoid eating into office hours to
get the work done.

 Extended Breaks

Companies give lunch breaks to employees and people take advantage of these breaks
to do other things outside office work like, go for interviews, meet with friends or even
work on their side hustles. They are free to do whatever they want these lunch breaks.

Employees, however, take advantage of these lunch breaks and extend them beyond
time.

 Theft/Embezzlement

Some employees are known for diverting company funds into their bank accounts—
padding project quotations, invoices, etc. to deceive the company on how much was
spent on particular projects.

This act is detrimental to the company because employees who steal sometimes
replace quality products with counterfeits which are cheaper but causes damage in the
future.

 Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is an offense that is not limited to the workplace alone. An employee
accused of sexual harassment will not only face consequences in the workplace but
also tried at a court of law.

Many companies have a zero-tolerance rate for sexual harassment in and outside the
workplace. This may tarnish the company's reputation and the only way to curb is to
make an example of defaulters.

 Corrupt Practices
Some common causes of corruption can be seen during the employment process of an
organization. They invite so many people to send their CVs and come for interviews but
only people with the same political affiliation with them get the job.

This is also common with companies that ask for contractors to bid for a project but the
employees will only give them to their friends who may not even bid at all.

2. There is rarely a situation in which I had wished could reverse communication

because I usually think it about what I was going to say after putting up with certain
behaviors for a long time. By the time I have said something, I am finished dealing
with the situation/ person.I have also learned that there are unhappy people who will
get offended, by what you say,and there's nothing that you can do about it except
for you to just call it a day and walk away, maybe for good. Don't sweat the small
stuff. How people are going to react or treat you after the words leave your lips ,has
nothing to do with you- they're just dealing with their own baggage ( personal
issues/ problems). I learned this from growing up with a unhappy mother who had
made some bad choices in her life and got pregnant with me,whom she blamed for
her rotten life the rest of her life. I finally figured out the source of her pain after she
had passed away , and realized that how she reacted to me or treated me wasn't my
fault.

How did humans develop the ability to communicate? Are humans the only creatures on
earth that communicate? What purpose does communication serve in our lives?
Answers to these historical, anthropological, and social-scientific questions provide part
of the diversity of knowledge that makes up the field of communication studies. As a
student of communication, you will learn that there is much more to the field than public
speaking, even though the origins of communication studies are traced back thousands
of years to ancient Greek philosophers and teachers like Plato and Aristotle who were
the first to systematically study and write about speech. Communication students and
scholars also study basic communication processes like nonverbal communication,
perception, and listening, as well as communication in various contexts, including
interpersonal, group, intercultural, and media communication.
Communication has been called the most practical of the academic disciplines. Even
the most theoretical and philosophical communication scholars are also practitioners of
communication, and even though you have likely never taken another communication
studies class, you have a lifetime of experience communicating. This experiential
knowledge provides a useful foundation and a starting point from which you can build
the knowledge and practice the skills necessary to become a more competent and
ethical communicator. I always inform my students that I consider them communication
scholars while they are taking my class, and I am pleased to welcome you to the start of
your communication studies journey. Whether you stay on this path for a semester or
for much longer, studying communication has the potential to enrich your life in many
ways. I want this book to be a dialogue, so I encourage you to contact me with any
questions, comments, or suggestions you may have as you read.

3. I met a woman I wished I could have convinced to be my girlfriend because I knew

she likes me but I felt like I was not at my best day. You can find happiness not in this
world but in treasures stored in your heart, I wish I had more to give her at the time.
COVID 19 impacted people and pushing and shoving I could’ve won her by leading
being a man I know I am. I won freedom, that same day I lost a part of me.
When I was leaving I wish I would’ve said “stop” and “let’s go together”. But I AM still
here. And there’s always another day /chance/ effort.
4. Why Are Ethics in Business Communication Important? ...
Business ethics begin at the top of an organization. If a company doesn't
practice honest, forthright communication with employees, business partners
and customers, employees are more likely to respond with behavior that mirrors
the leadership.
Ethical communication fosters implicit trust — trust that the information is accurate. People receiving the
communication should also be able to trust that all the information is coming directly from the person or
organization communicating it. An ethical communicator readily discloses any conflict of interest, too.

aspect of business, and that’s not a bad thing. Communicators should absolutely be
cultivating a level of trust and integrity in each of their messages. They should be
socially conscious and inclusive in their communications. It’s what audiences expect
and, frankly, what they should have.

In this module we’ll take a look at the guidelines for ethical communication and how they
apply to verbal, written and online communications.

In reality, if you adhere to the seven principles, you will communicate ethically. For
instance, if you craft a message that is not clear and concise, and you use tricky
language that manipulates your consideration for your audience’s knowledge, then you
are not being ethical. If you’re not being objective, and you are trying to communicate
your opinion (or the opinion of others) as fact, then you are not being ethical. If you
purposely do not disclose complete information, then you are not being ethical.
You don’t have to look too far today to see examples of unethical communication;
they’re all over the media. “Fake news” media sites abound, even though social media
outlets like Facebook and Twitter are making efforts to prevent them from being posted
and shared. Is fake news ethical?

Assessment

Ethical communication" simply refers to the practice of conveying honest information in a manner that is not
intended to be misleading. In other words, the information should be presented within a context that ensures
that the information is not misleading as a result of being conveyed in a sort of vacuum.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is entitled “not to believe in any faith” and express his
views, his spokesman has said, addressing criticism following the 73-year-old leader’s
recent commentary describing God as “stupid” and a “son of a whore”.

In an interview on Monday with the Philippine television GMA-7, Harry Roque said the remarks
were an expression of the president’s “personal belief”.

He added that Duterte has his way of expressing his spirituality and what he said “does not need
any interpretation”.

“He never tried to hide that kind of language when he ran for president. Just accept it that he is
that way, because when he asked for a mandate from the voters, he never tried to hide that,” said
the spokesman.

Roque said that the president’s tirade may be rooted on his own “unpleasant” experience with the
church.

Duterte has said that as a child he was also a victim of sexual molestation by a Catholic priest.

‘What kind of religion is that?’

Duterte was addressing an information technology summit in his hometown of Davao on Friday
when his speech veered towards religion and the Bible.

The president, who comes from a Catholic family, questioned the passage on creation in the
Bible and the concept of “original sin”.

{articleGUID}

“Adam ate it (the fruit from the forbidden tree), then malice was born. Who is this stupid God?
You are really a stupid son of a whore if that is the case,” Duterte said in Filipino and English.

“You created something perfect, and then you think of an event that would tempt and destroy the
quality of your work. How can you rationalise a God … would you believe that?”

He also said that an infant should not have an original sin, as conception and intercourse only
involve the parents.

“What kind of religion is that? That’s what I can’t accept,” he said as his audience sat
awkwardly.

Opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes described Duterte’s tirade as “blasphemy”.

“It is the height of arrogance of power not only to disrespect and spit on an individual’s faith but
also to act as though he is a god,” Trillanes said in a statement.
‘People can identify with him’

The Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, with an estimated 79 percent of its 107
million population identifying themselves as Catholics. The rest belong to other Christian
denominations, Islam and other religions.

Jeaneth Faller, dean of the Divinity School at Silliman University, said that while she supports
the president personally, she believes Duterte should choose his words carefully.

“Everybody is listening. If your opinion is not good for the people, you should just keep it to
yourself,” Faller told Al Jazeera.

At the same time, Faller said she is “not surprised” that despite Duterte’s controversial
comments, he still enjoys support from his predominantly Christian followers.

WATCH: Duterte’s son questioned over illegal drug smuggling

(2:37)

“People can identify with him. He knows how to handle the people, he knows their language, he
knows what they’re thinking. That is why he is very popular.”

But Faller also said that supporters should also be able to criticise the things Duterte is not doing
right.

Since the 2016 presidential campaign, Duterte has clashed with the Catholic Church, a critic of
his human rights records as mayor.

But Duterte said the church has no moral authority to criticise him, chastising the alleged cover-
up of sexual abuse by clergy members.

During the campaign, Duterte also cursed at Pope Francis, whom he had referred to as “son of a
whore”.

Faller said Duterte’s feud with the church also reflects a “split Christianity” in the Philippines,
where people go to church, but “don’t care what the priest would say” about the president.

Elizabeth Angsioco, a Manila-based activist and political observer, said she agreed with the
statement of Duterte’s spokesman that the president is entitled to his own opinion.

“However, I still believe that as president of the country, he must observe some form of
decorum. If you don’t believe in God, you don’t have to insult those who have different views
than you.”
Angsioco also noted that some of Duterte’s supporters have expressed their “disgust and
displeasure” over the comment, even though they have “stayed quiet” about the ongoing killings
during the government’s war on drugs.

“To me, that is inconsistent. Because if you are a Christian, I know that you believe in justice. I
find it baffling,” she told Al Jazeera.

Meanwhile, Ana Santos, an international journalist and columnist based in Manila, told Al
Jazeera that Duterte’s statements are meant to “gaslight us and divert our attention from
important issues”.

“By now, the public should know that Duterte will not stop making comments that are more
ludicrous than the previous one. We, the public need to refuse this diversionary tactic and
demand that he speak and act on issues that are more urgent and pressing,” she said, pointing to
the deadly drug war, inflation and the territorial dispute with China.

communicative competence and enhances their cultural and intercultural
awareness through multimodal tasks that provide them opportunities
for communicating effectively and appropriately to a multicultural
audience in a local or global context.

Purposive communication is more than just plainly communicating with other people with a
purpose. It is somehow a totality of the different ways of communicating that includes, writing,
speaking and presenting to different audiences.

effectively communicate with other people. Also, I learned that communication has a process,a
process of listening, speaking, reading and writing. ... In which the macro skills holds with it.

Purposive communication is very important in human lives, Specially

to connect people and make relationship with them. we have to
communicate to solve many problems, today there are engineers,
graduates, technicians among others, who want to solve everything to
perfection without effective communication and is not what should be
done, we must communicate to convey information and change ideas
to see how you can solve what you want and be satisfied with what we
are going to solve. Communication is very useful now a days we can
make this to have a better relationship to others and to understand
each other. The importance of communication is that it removes
confusion , confusions that may lead to pains, misunderstanding
without a better communication. I do believe that commucation is the
only way or key to open the secret of better life. A good
communication leads to clarity. A better communication leads to a
good and lasting relationship . Communication is very vital say for
example in a relationship to be open to each other and to remove the
doubts. Communication is serves as a bridge which connects every
people to understand each other to listen to their thoughts and
perception.
Communications is fundamental to the existence and survival of
humans as well as to an organization. It is a process of creating and
sharing ideas, information, views, facts, feelings, etc. among the
people to reach a common understanding.
Communication may be done with Verbal,and non-verbal.
Verbal is communication is the use of language to transfer
information through speaking or sign language, It includes sounds,
words, or speaking. In short a face to face conversation.
Non-verbal communication is communication between people
through non-verbal or visual cues. This includes gestures, facial
expressions, body movement, timing, touch, and anything else that
communicates without speaking. We, as a human use to communicate
because it is the only way that you can express your thoughts and
ideas that also can share your feelings towards the person you are
talking, some other day we lack of confidence in communicating not
all the time we can easily talk to them because there are times that we
can not share our ideas because we don't have enough confidence to
face our fear, some has the ability to communicate well and some is
not because of their environment or where they grown up it is depend
on where they came from. each one of us is different in
communicating other people.
To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different
in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a
 guide to our communication with others."
