FIRST TOPIC

[Audio] Welcome to this training video. I will be your instructor and in this presentation, we will discuss the significance of recognizing and understanding attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in culturally significant communication. As a teacher in a school, it is crucial to have a deep understanding of this topic in order to effectively communicate and connect with students from different cultural backgrounds. Let's delve into the impact of attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives on our communication. Shall we start?.

[Audio] In today's class, we will discuss the significance of recognizing and understanding attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in cross-cultural communication. These elements play a crucial role in effective communication, particularly when working with diverse groups or individuals. Let's first talk about attitudes. As communicators, our attitudes greatly impact how we convey our message. They can be positive, negative, neutral, or a mix of all. For example, a politician giving a speech that praises youth involvement shows a positive attitude towards young people, which can greatly influence how the audience receives and interprets the message. Next, let's discuss assumptions. These are beliefs or ideas that are often unspoken and taken for granted. For example, a news report stating that all Overseas Filipino Workers sacrifice for their families assumes that all OFWs are motivated solely by family needs. This can be limiting and may not accurately represent the diverse motivations of OFWs. It is important to be aware of our assumptions and to question them, as they greatly influence our communication and interactions with others. By recognizing and acknowledging our assumptions, we can have a more inclusive and respectful approach to communication. Lastly, let's consider perspectives. These are our individual views and interpretations of a situation or topic, which are shaped by our experiences, culture, and beliefs. Understanding and considering different perspectives is essential in effectively communicating with diverse groups and individuals. In conclusion, being mindful of attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in communication is crucial for building strong and culturally significant connections. This not only helps us better understand and respect others, but also promotes a more inclusive and open-minded approach to communication. Thank you for listening and I look forward to our next lesson..

[Audio] Today we will discuss recognizing and understanding attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in culturally significant communication. This skill allows us to view things from diverse perspectives, rather than just our own. Firstly, we will examine perspectives, which are shaped by culture, experience, and values. For instance, in a cultural play about colonization, the perspective of indigenous people may be portrayed instead of that of the colonizers. This is important in communication as it enables us to see things from a different point of view. Furthermore, it is important to understand and recognize these attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in order to become critical consumers of communication. This means we do not blindly accept messages, but instead analyze and question them. This skill is valuable as it promotes critical thinking and reduces the influence of external factors. In addition, recognizing these cultural elements can also improve cultural sensitivity as we begin to understand how people's words, actions, and beliefs may be influenced by their cultural background and experiences. This can prevent misunderstandings and foster stronger relationships with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. In conclusion, recognizing and understanding attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in culturally significant communication is a crucial skill that broadens our perspectives, promotes critical thinking, and enhances cultural sensitivity. Thank you for joining us for this discussion, and we look forward to exploring this topic further in our future classes. See you then!.

[Audio] We have been discussing the importance of recognizing and understanding attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in culturally significant communication. These elements play a crucial role in how we interact and understand one another within our diverse society. Today, we will be focusing on slide number 4, which explores how our backgrounds shape our actions and art. Understanding this can help prevent misunderstandings and allow us to see beyond stereotypes, gaining a deeper understanding of others. Furthermore, recognizing our attitudes and perspectives can strengthen our active citizenship by allowing us to identify propaganda, bias, and manipulation in communication. To better understand this, we will examine examples of culturally significant communication, such as a speech given on Independence Day. This speech presents an attitude of pride and unity and a nationalist perspective. These examples highlight the need to recognize and understand attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in culturally significant communication. Let's keep this in mind as we continue to learn and interact with people from diverse backgrounds. I look forward to our discussion on slide number 5.".

[Audio] This slide discusses the role of media and cultural performances in revealing attitudes, assumptions, and perspectives in our society. We will examine campaign speeches and how they reflect societal views on poverty and youth. Additionally, we will analyze media broadcasts, such as news framing of calamities, to see how attitudes are portrayed. Talk shows can also reveal assumptions about gender roles, class, and lifestyle. Cultural performances, such as festival dances and street plays, can provide insights into our heritage and community identity as well as attitudes towards social issues. By understanding these forms of communication and the deeper influences behind them, we can improve our cultural sensitivity and promote effective communication. Now we will move on to our final slide for a summary of the presentation. See you there!".
