Can Emotional Indiscrimination hinder Effective Communication?– A First-Person Anecdote from Academia

PTAdminSeptember 16, 2022September 16, 2022

We communicate through symbols which are generally commonly-agreed-upon abstract representations of real-world objects and phenomena. The correspondence is usually clear but there’s a significant degree of fuzziness involved owing to unavoidable subjectivity inherent in even the most standardised definitions as well as differential human perception and understanding of objects and phenomena. Language in its narrow sense is the most commonly used means of communication, and in its broadest sense is the very term used to refer to any and all means of communication. No word, phrase, or sentence is a perfect point – its meaning dissipates around it in a fuzzy cloud and the nuclei of these clouds are slightly or even considerably different for different individuals in different contexts of place and time.

Science is seen as being all about facts and figures, while philosophy is often seen as being about debates about concepts that can never be proven.

PTAdminDecember 28, 2021December 29, 2021

सरकार की आलोचना और राज्यद्रोह
सबसे पहले यह समझने की दरकार है कि सरकार की आलोचना राजद्रोह नहीं है। मजबूत लोकतंत्र के लिए आलोचना अति आवश्यक है। सरकारी आती है जाती हैं जो कि राज्य बना रहता है। राज्य संविधान से चलता है परंतु देश एक भावना है। आता कई बार सरकार अगर गलत करें तो उसकी आलोचना करना उसका विरोध करना सच्चा राष्ट्रवाद है। साथ ही ये आलोचना हिंसक नहीं होनी चाहिए। लोकतंत्र में हिंसक और हिंसा भड़काने वाली व्यक्ति की कोई जगह नहीं है। स्वस्थ आलोचना की हमेशा तारीफ होनी चाहिए। भारतीय लोकतंत्र को मजबूत करने में श्यामा प्रसाद मुखर्जी, जॉर्ज फर्नांडिस, अटल बिहारी वाजपेई चौधरी चरण सिंह जैसे नेताओं का अहम योगदान है जो सरकार की गलत नीतियों के कट्टर आलोचक थे।
