Communication, Or NOt

AMERICA is a culture which has forgotten, or is forgetting, how to communicate. By this I mean that we americans don't speak to each other effectively. messages get lost, misunderstandings occur. 

there are several reasons for this. the primary one is the increase in the number of americans and in the technology of communication. simply put, there are more of us, we all have access to more communication opportunites, and we communicate more, and have more to talk about, which speeds up communication; resulting in more people saying more to more people.

they say it faster, louder, and with far less regard to the audience. turn on your television (as if americans need to be told to do that) and notice how in movies and television shows people take turns talking, and utter nothing but the most most clever phrases.

then notice that on live television talk shows, like the sunday morning political shows, they all try to talk at the same time, often, and have to be verbally restrained by the host. telephone conversations in america often result in both participants talking at the same time, and not caring.

how many conversations do we have in this country in which each participant is talking about something  entirely different? american culture is loud, fast,  aggresive, and, it appears, angry. it is becoming difficult in america to engage in a conversation with anyone without being interrupted in mid sentence, and there was time when that was unacceptable.

how much longer until we start yet another war, or a war here, among only ourselves, rather than in some foreign country?. we the american people might like to resolve to become better listeners and more considerate speakers.

that, and a little economic improvement, might lighten our spirits and make us less angry, and more gentle. there was actually a time in this country when people behaved courteously. let us return to that time poste haste.
