Reading Sail the 7 Cs helped me realize that communication isn’t one-size-fits-all. I’m most comfortable with written communication, but I know it’s not always the best option for everyone. It’s important to find a middle ground that works for everyone, rather than forcing one way of communicating, like many schools do. One example in the text that stood out to me was the chat feature in Minecraft. It’s an easy way for people to communicate long-distance without having to speak out loud, which is a form of electronic communication I hadn’t really thought about before. It made me think about how we often underestimate the power of written or text-based communication, especially in situations where speaking isn't possible.
The chapter also made me realize that effective communication isn’t just about speaking or writing clearly. It’s about understanding the audience and the context. Whether it’s face-to-face, through chat, or in a classroom, tailoring your message to the situation can make all the difference. It reminded me of how important it is to be flexible in our communication styles.
Hi Paloma. I was interested in what you talked about during this post! Speaking on how Minecraft uses text chat for long distance communication is a great way for others to express themselves. Not only this, but I also find it interesting that our communication doesn't stop there. That's only one option out of so many, and I am excited to see that you spoke on one of the communication examples so fondly!
