In week 5, we discussed about non verbal mode of communication which we can present through our body language.

Body language is a method of communication in which physical actions are utilized to express or convey information rather than words. Facial expressions, body posture, gestures, eye movement, touch, and the utilization of space are examples of such behaviour.

Although body language is an important part of communication most of it happens without conscious awareness.

Coming to week 6, we learned how small small things can lead to big miscommunications.
- Using wrong body language during conversations.
- Difference of opinions during conversations .

All these are examples of factors which could lead to miscommunication.

-Some view it as the color of love.
-Others see it as symbol of danger.

While communicating  with someone, we often don't pay our full attention. We look at our phones, watch television or even daydream about something else.

In week 7, we learned ways to overcome these problems.
- Listening to the speaker carefully so that we can give our opinions efficiently.
- Do not interrupt person when he is speaking. Wait for your turn and then speak up.

We studied how to overcome communication errors in previous weeks, and this week ma'am taught us about different communication styles:

1. PASSIVE COMMUNICATION: This is a type of communication in which the speaker does not express his or her desires, needs, or opinions.

2. AGGRESIVE COMMUNICATION: This is the polar opposite of assertive communication, in which a person expresses his or her wants, needs, desires, or opinions at the expense of another's wants, needs, desires, or opinions, or the right to be treated humanely.

3. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE COMMUNICATION: This is a communication style in which people appear to be calm on the surface but are actually acting out their anger in a subtle, indirect, or behind-the-scenes manner.

4: ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATION: This is a communication style in which people express their thoughts and feelings openly while strongly advocating for their own rights and needs without infringing on the rights of others.

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. It's got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet. —Reverend Theodore Hesburgh.

To have a vision is to think about or plan something. The only way to advance is to have a vision. Having a dream tells us what we want to achieve and how to get there. It aids in decision-making and shows the path to follow. A pioneer should be able to share his vision with others in order to inspire others. That is the method through which people trust and believe in a pioneer. A pioneer paves the road for his followers by communicating his vision.
A dream that isn't active remains a fantasy till the end of time. So a pioneer doesn't pause for a second to tell you the best way to accomplish anything. As a result, a leader must have a vision and the ability to communicate it, because a pioneer without a vision is akin to a letter with no address. Without it, it will never be able to achieve its goal.

Sympathetic listening is driven by feelings, as is intelligent listening.
Rather of focusing on the content conveyed through words, the listener is more interested in the speaker's moods and feelings.

This is done in order to deal with these emotions and sensations.

Complete listening, unlike discriminative tuning in, necessitates the use of language skills.

This type of listening is often developed throughout adolescence.

Individuals use total attention to understand what someone is expressing through words.

This week, we learned about how people from other nations regularly make suspicions about one another. It's very normal, because every society has secrets. It is frequently coated with hidden information, captivating anecdotes, and theoretical viewpoints. Regardless, some of the existing theories are right, while others are incorrect. Speculations can prevent us from acquiring a few different perspectives on the nation and comprehending a different culture in a more rational way. Even said, theories might sometimes show certain preferences or attitudes that are present in the lifestyle.

Culturally varied correspondence is a topic of research that examines how people distinguish between friendly establishments and communicate in similar and dissimilar ways, as well as how they attempt to pass on across social classes. Diverse communication can take several forms, including:

Information (from the social orders, personalities, and values of others)

Sympathy (the ability to understand the sentiments of others)

People are exposed to genuine aspects and knowledge about their lifestyle, presumptions, minds, and opinions through various planning.

This should be seen at least once in a while. I believe that this film offers both young people and adults a vital lesson. This is a family film, and every member of the family, especially a father and son, should have trust in one another. I learnt from society that there is always one thing, that father and daughter and mother and son are the most frequent happy relationships, but this film has changed my perspective on accepting what society says.
This is the narrative of a man who lives in mediocrity, works as a salesperson, and dares to live despite numerous issues in every aspect of his life. Dares to have huge dreams. With an outstanding performance, this is a wonderfully unsentimental biography. It's a fantastic film that demonstrates that if you work hard for anything, you will succeed.
