Face to face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, e-mail, or telephone calls. |
Though the type of communication has been various, including using e-mails or telephones, some still believe face to face communication is the best way to communicate, considering that communication includes not only the pure meanings of words but also other things, such as facial expressions and gestures. However, this opinion seems somewhat out of date. In this essay, I am going to enlarge on the reasons why I disagree with this idea.
Firstly, thesedays it is virtually impossible to meet someone and talk directly every time we need to, now that we are living in a society which is busier, more complex and globalized than ever before. That means, we spend less time with family or friends and even the number of going abroad is increasing. So much so, we can not overlook advantages from using other types of communication. For my personal example, when I was studying in Austria as an exchange student, I used to keep in touch with my family by e-mail or on-line messenger. By doing so, we could know how everything was going around with my family and we never had any problem with communicating each other. This proved its value, especially when my father became sick. Although we were not living together, we could comfort each other.
In addition, the most effective communication depends on the situation. It seems less convincing to insist face-to-face is always the best. For instance, while face-to-face marketing was considered the only way of sales in the past, nowadays many companies are trying to inform consumers about their products through a variety of ways, ranging from advertisement on television to e-mail services. This makes it possible to deliver their information to a number of people in shorter time and as a result, they can expanse their businesses. As this example shows, even though sometimes we need direct conversation, we can not characterize a certain type as the best way of communication in any situation.
On the whole, for these reasons I strongly believe that face-to-face communication is not the only way to communicate effectively. We may have to try to utilize proper type for better communication, according to which situation we are in and what purpose we have, rather than using only one way. |
