    How to avoid misscommunication
    1. passive hearing and active listening are not the same
    2. listen with your eyes, ears, and guts
    3.take time to understand as you try to be understood
    4. be aware of your own perceptional filters

    A more fitting title for the video would have been "Why does miscommunication occur?"
    Up until 3:18 there's nothing about "How to avoid miscommunication". That leaves only one minute of the video that is about the actual subject, and it's too condensed to actually say anything meaningful and useful.

      I understand 3/4 of the video is not about avoiding it but it is as easy as it was said. Just focus what other person says and you will (look like you) understand other people. That would be another reason why they added such big intro for that topic.

    • @benjaminwilde152
      @benjaminwilde152 8 лет назад +2

      Lady Bumta True. I think for text conversations one must master the ability to say the most in the fewest words. This is a huge downside of texts. I never really find myself able to express everything I have to say, especially when the conversation goes into the political, moral or philosophical side.

    I think it's also important to define our terms while we are talking about a certain subject to avoid miscommunication. If you talk and debate with a friend about freedom, you have a certain opinion about it and your friend have a different one, but you never seem to get along or to understand what the other means, the good questions to ask may be: what does freedom means to you? Do we have the same definition of it? Most of the time, our personal definitions may differ a bit, but it's enough to completely misunderstand the other. Defining words in the beginning of a conversation can save lots of time debating for nothing!

    In a world bustling with voices and noise, the art of truly listening has become rare. Many of us listen but fail to genuinely hear, leading to widespread miscommunication. This barrier significantly hinders our collective ability to live in harmony. To bridge the gaps between us and foster understanding, it is essential to learn not just to listen, but to hear- to truly comprehend and appreciate others' perspectives. This lesson is vital for fostering a more connected and empathetic world.
    Thank you for the video.

    Very informative, actually misunderstanding can cause lot's of problem and not just problems but things that could have been a solution to things that we had always dreamt of or wished for.. so I have found it to be useful to say to people things like, I respectfully disagree or I respectfully decline this offer... that way they dont feel humilliated but at the same time you dont mess up the relationship,, bussiness partner or even a stranger.. I suppose not everybody would see that anyways , and that is understandable ..if that became the case.. it's best to just walk away from it or them

    P. S. We never take the twisted meanings seriously. This is not a way to turn arguments and it's a dirty trick that shouldn't be used by anyone. Ask questions before assuming is a golden rule.

    The message communicated by this video is extremely simplistic and leaves out something very important in this day and age: (and even when it was posted 7 years ago) Online media literacy. Is it MAYBE possible that SOME of this post Covid polarization has something to do with the fact that it's all done online? So it's not just "beyond words" but beyond the platform, and you know almost nobody is going to ever meet in person to straighten anything out. Of course, the tendency to pay attention to ones own side and not seriously consider the perspective of the other to any significant extent doesn't help, neither do psychological/psychiatric issues either known or unknown/ignored/not understood. All these people convinced they know who the enemy is and some joe schmoe rando online is another one of them would be comical if it wasn't so sad and causing a ton of chaos in the world. This even happens to people who know each other in person, but the fact the problematic communications happen online is completely ignored and it's all about the person, and they never learn a single thing about the dynamics of the communication. Personal blame rather than exploring what went wrong in the process, always.

    Most of the video portrays how we miscommunicate than how we stop doing so. I don't think this will solve the usual miscommunications that is inevitable in our daily lives, sometimes even listening with the "gut" may lead to "overthinking/misinterpretation". But I thumbed up for the adorable animation (the characters inside are really lovely)!

  • @Leo-pw3kf
    @Leo-pw3kf 8 лет назад +4

    This video got me thinking...
    (This is a weird hypothesis, and also very tangential in relation to the subject of the video, be warned)
    *Are we at some critical limit of how complex can communication be? Is this the reason we've not yet been visited by aliens?*
    It seems that the more complex communication is, and by proxy, societal structures, the more there is conflict surrounding it. Ants, bees and other insects communicate through clear signals, each one with very specific meanings (basically, the transmission model). They also each have a selected role in their group, there is very little room change after a position is consolidated. There is also harmony, at least until as I now. I have never read about ants fighting to acquire top hierarchical positions or anything of the sort.
    On the other hand, mammals, especially primates (us), developed sophisticated, plastic, adaptable means of communication (transactional model?). While this means we can react appropriately to a more varied set of circumstances as a cohesive group, and much more information can be transmitted from one organism to another, it also seems to imply that more miscommunication, and ultimately conflict is bound to happen. Sophisticated communication allows for bigger and more organized groups, and for hierarchical positions to develop. However, watching how primates interact to each other as opposed to insects, it becomes quite clear that the plasticity of communication comes at the price of accuracy, and ultimately generates miscommunication, aggression and even maybe individualism. As communication gets more complex, it also seems that individuals get more... individual. After you get to know twins you can clearly tell them apart just through language, even if they look and sound exactly the same. Yet I doubt much differentiation is made by ants; they are all interchangeable to one another.
    Following the clay analogy in the video, what if our type communication,, *language*, is at a level so malleable that if it gets any *more* malleable, creating a recognizable sculpture out of the piece of clay is impossible? What if the clay gets so soft and mushy that it can't hold a recognizable shape? In other words, are we humans at a critical limit of how plastic can language be? We have war after war, racial tensions, cultural misunderstanding... in sum, we really can't seem to comprehend one another, because our ways of communicating and organizing socially are *too* varied, too individualistic. Maybe it is simply impossible for any communication type to get any more complex than language without collapsing in on itself, making it impossible for individuals to understand one another, or transmit a coherent, decipherable message.
    Going back to the aliens question, maybe we haven't been visited because no alien is more expressive than humans. Think about it, all great deeds of humanity depend on exchanging information, intelligence alone doesn't cut it. Culture, government, economy, science, *technology*... all these thing depend heavily on communication, besides intelligence. Some alien species may very well be more intelligent than us, but if we are in this hypothesized critical limit on communication complexity, this could mean that no alien life, however intelligent, can become organized enough for interstellar travel. Just like, at least at the moment, we don't seem to be capable of it.
    This may very well a bit of a stretch, a severely ill-supported hypothesis. I just thought the idea was interesting.

      Yes, this idea is interesting and fascinating. But at one point I disagree completely: I can´t imagine any form of alien life, that is intelligent and has not developed some method of communication. I think that both will go hand in hand. Intelligence necessitates complex communication and vice versa. And in the modern science-world words are more and more replaced by mathematics, number-correlations etc. and therefore complexity and misunderstanding is reduced.

    There is still no set curriculum for teaching English in the US nevermind other languages. Most younger people are apparently taught that definitions of words are up for interpretation. This only helps compound problems and perpetuates miscommunication among peers with comparable levels of education. Education is important here. Most people will obtain a more complete understanding of their language through educational means. This usually is through schools, but home schooling can be just as effective as long as an individual understands the fundamentals of their language they can shape a more complete knowledge of their language through accurate reading material, demonstrations of words and phrases used in sentences and interactions with other individuals who possess similar levels of knowledge in the same language.
    The bottom line is if we can't stop interpreting language as a subjective means of communication then we can't possibly hope to quell misinterpretation in routine conversations with others.

    I missunderstand all messages about subjectivity. Claims about objective reality is something that has a reference and that i can check. Once you claim something is subjective, it is irrelevant stuff.

    Except when you have ADHD and can’t recall specific words on the spot in conversation so you use a synonym so you don’t have to pause and try to wait for it to come back to your mind and it’s taken negatively by the other person because they associate a negative connotation with the word you used. When the word does not always imply fault, and doesn’t have a negative connotation in your understanding of the word. So they text everyone saying that you said something horrible about others because they assumed you meant someone was at fault and did something intentionally when you didn’t. And you get cussed out by a third party they had texted. Due to the fact that in the other persons mind it was interpreted differently AND there was a game of telephone telling the third party, further changing the meaning. And now you want to quit your job because everyone hates you over a misunderstanding.

    Don't listen just to show that you are listening. Counselling trainings teach students to paraphrase, and i have been through such session when i struggle with paraphrasing, finding different words just to paraphrase - it is like a parrot. Only paraphrase when something the other party says you don't quite get it so as to clarify what information you are receive is right. If it is loud and clear then just keep quiet and continue listening. Sometimes when someone tells me they have problems with other parties, and when you try to communicate and gather more information about the issue (just that action alone), you find that you run into difficulties in the communication process. For such cases, you can imagine the cause of the problem for that person, probably the person himself/ herself is the cause of the problem.

    Not assuming that your perception is the objective truth isn't productive all the time though. Sometimes it simply is the objective truth. Conveying this with tact should be considered. Is it actually conducive to the conversation not to assume as objective truth a statement like, "a square is also a rectangle because it has four equal angles."

    and also one has to pay attention to how the other person can be interpreting your message too. this is something that fails a lot, for example when a teacher doesn't understand what part of their explanation is that a student is not understanding or in twitter arguments where one can see both people are not understanding each other, and arguing points the other is obviously misunderstanding. one has to imagine what the other person could be interpreting too.

    4. Se consiente de tu propia subjetividad

      eyes - see the body movements of the one whom you're talking to (body language accounts for more than half of the conversation)
      ears - listen to the conversation
      gut - gut feelings about what the other person is trying to say ...

      Body language and facial expression will be understood by our brain´s mirror neurons. We FEEL more than hear, what the other means. (Therefore the emoticons for social media users.) Though some people -- with autism/Asperger´s syndrom - can´t interpret body language and have difficulies to socialize.

    Notes on Miscommunication Situations:
    1. Misinterpreting Tone:
    • Sometimes, tone of voice in text messages or emails can be misinterpreted, leading to confusion or unintended offense.
    2. Assumptions:
    • Assuming the other person understands your context or background can lead to gaps in communication, causing misunderstandings.
    3. Language Barriers:
    • Differences in language proficiency or use of jargon can create difficulties in fully understanding the message.
    4. Incomplete Information:
    • Providing or receiving incomplete information can result in tasks being done incorrectly or misaligned expectations.
    5. Non-Verbal Cues:
    • Misreading body language or facial expressions can lead to misunderstandings about someone’s feelings or intentions.
    6. Distractions:
    • Being distracted or not fully paying attention during a conversation can cause you to miss important details or instructions.
    7. Overcomplicating Communication:
    • Using overly complex language or explanations can confuse the other person, making the message unclear.
    8. Different Communication Styles:
    • Differences in communication styles, such as direct vs. indirect communication, can lead to misunderstandings about the message’s intent.
    Reflecting on these situations can help identify areas for improvement in communication skills.
