The Art of Communication
The ability to communicate is a necessary skill for all students, not just those in a communications major. Many argue that this essential ability is being lost in the world of technology, texting and social networking. Our aptitude to dialogue face-to-face is being replaced by online communications which are less personal, void of emotive engagement and without any of the artful skills employed by body language and inflection. Traditionally these skills were honed in day to day interactions, around the dinner table, during classroom presentations and via debates.
