Type of Conversation: DIALOGUE


Out of all of the four types of conversation, I think that the one that builds
relationships best with others is the dialogue type of conversation. Because it allows
conversing with one another in a non-competitive manner, such as the debate, I chose
dialogue as the best type of conversation that can build a better relationship with others
because it allows each party to freely converse and exchange their thoughts, ideas, and
opinions. As a result, it develops a healthy relationship with one another. In a dialogue type
of conversation, parties or individuals exchange on giving on their thoughts, opinions, and
ideas, the other listens to the other and vice versa, which allows to have a clear
understanding of one's opinion and thus build a healthy and robust relationship with one
another.

2. Choosing 1 among 4 leaves out 3 other types of communication. Explain


why you left out each type to be which best builds relationships with
others. Explain your answer using 2-3 sentences only.

Type of Conversation: DIATRIBE


I left out the Diatribe type of conversation because the diatribe kind of conversation
is a forceful and harsh verbal attack against someone a person is conversing with and thus
does not help develop relationships. Diatribe is known for its one-way type of conversation
with a hint of competitiveness similar yet different with debate. It also does not help in
developing relationships because it is a forceful way of conversing.
Type of Conversation: DEBATE
Out of all of the four types of conversation, I left out Debate as the type which ables to build a
relationship with others at best because it is a kind of communication that is a competitive manner
with strong opposing emotions to the other party conversing. A Debate  strives to declare each party's
standpoint and their ideas to the opposing party. Although being competitive allows one to push from
their limits and capacity, it might not always be healthy in building a healthy relationship with one
another because debating with one another can eventually arise top conflict and misunderstanding.
In conversing, there should not be the one in the right and the one in the wrong. In communication,
there are no left and right side, no opposing sides forcing one idea to the other but rather a side that
listens and the side that opens up with their ideas and vice versa.  

Type of Conversation: DISCOURSE


Lastly, I left out discourse and the other types of conversation because of its one-way kind of
conversation, and I think that one-way type of conversation will not develop relationships because of
the absence of exchanging ideas, thoughts, and opinions. A discourse type of conversation will
minimize or even exclude one's communication and interaction with one another because of having
only a single speaker along with many listeners but with minimal to no feedback to the speaker.

B. DO THEY BELONG?
Non-verbal and written communication, although differing in certain aspects,
share a common feature—both make use of cues in order to convey meaning.
That is, nonverbal communication uses non-verbal cues such as posture, facial
expression, and the like, while written communication uses symbols such as
letters. However, are these in themselves enough to convey meaning, or are
these cues simply complements of verbal communication? WHY? (5pts.)

Communication is used to convey one's ideas and emotions to one another, and it is true that
whether a person uses non-verbal or written communication, they can be able to convey those feelings.
However, I believe that it would not be enough to deliver those feelings clearly and avoid
misconceptions and misunderstandings. Some feelings are better expressed verbally rather than in a
nonverbal or written way because there are individual preferences with each individual, and we cannot
blame them for their misinterpretation due to our differences. That is why I believe that non-verbal and
written communication are admirable ways to convey meanings and compliments, but it would not
suffice as some complements and feelings are best expressed verbally.
C. SYMBOLIZING MY FILIPINO-NESS
At this point, CoVid -19 which has brought the “new normal” all throughout the
world may have already been controlled, or it may still be prolonging the agonies
of our people. At this point as well, I would like to believe that your eyes have
been opened to the deplorable realities of the world. Maybe, it has already come
to you that YOU, together with your fellow youth, are indeed the hope of our
nation, as our national hero once claimed. You may, hopefully, have already
made a pact with yourself as to the honorable professional you will be.
 Draw a symbol which will represent the citizen and professional you
promise yourself to be.
 Explain why you chose such a symbol from your own preferred three
(3) perspectives in analyzing visual images. Use 2-3 sentences for every
perspective. These are the criteria for scoring:

Perspective: PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE
This symbol represents myself as a humble servant to all that surrounds me;
whether I will become a leader or just a humble public servant for our society, I will strive and
continue to be inspired to inspire others. As depicted in my symbol above, I will inspire to
nourish those I cared for to bloom and become an inspiration to others.

Perspective: CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE


I have given thought to why I chose to illustrate this simple image because, in these
tough times, many are dragging others down for their own benefit, and I don't want to
become like those others. But rather, I want to do the opposite and carry them to the top of
their own abilities and strength. I genuinely want to inspire others to push beyond their limits
and out of their comfort zone because with that, and they can truly bloom and become a
wonderful asset for themselves and to society.

Perspective: ETHICAL PERSPECTIVE


As I mentioned before, many individuals are dragging others down for their own
benefit, and that itself, I believe it is an unjust and unethical doing. As fellow creations of
God, we were all created equally in accordance with the image of God, and therefore there
should be competition towards the top because only God is above all others and therefore,
we should treat everybody as equals and continue to inspire and just become humble
stewards of God’s creation with no arrogance and aggressiveness with one another but
rather nurture and help one another to be able to unlock each other potential to become
better.
