Inquiry
How do you see yourself and the world you live in? What do you think is the significance of having
perspective in life?
1. Watch your favorite broadcaster or newscaster in TV, observe how he or she communicates. Write
your observation on a paper.
2. Illustrate or make an illustration of the communication process.
3. Identify the elements of communication in the material.
4. What are the barriers in understanding the message?
Vicky Morales is one of the news casters of GMA (24 Oras). Upon delivering her message through
reporting, she is very understandable and has a clear voice. You’ll see her expressions, on how she smiles
when talking and being serious when reporting. In the illustration below, it is an interaction model, where
there’s a message going both ways so instead of there just one sender and a receiver, we have a sender
receiver and then a receiver sender. They are both sender and receiver. There are barriers in their
communication, which is physical barriers and the noise of other people.
5. What is your perspective in life? Write a paragraph about it on a paper.
It's not in every case simple to keep a positive point of view on life. The vast majority of us decide to
utilize good expressions and proclamations to attempt to disregard the entirety of the pessimism that life
tosses at us and to like ourselves, while others send an infected far-reaching influence of the direct inverse.
Have you ever pondered surrendering; on school as well as some different things and perhaps only life as a
rule? On the off chance that truly, at that point you are certainly not the only one, and on the off chance that
not well, at that point bravo not every person is as blessed as you. Shockingly for a large portion of us,
surrendering now isn't generally an alternative any longer. We have all made significant progress to then
surrender and fall by the wayside. For what reason do some apparently splendid individuals not work out
quite as well as could be normal, while different less lucky individuals arrive at their fantasies and objectives
throughout everyday life? Eleanor Roosevelt once stated, “The future belongs to those who believe in the
beauty of their dreams”. Which fundamentally implies that in the event that you can dream it, you can do it.
Try not to let any other person mention to you what you should or shouldn't do. You are who you become -
your future and how you deal with it is up to you and just you.
