no harm in hoping for change." - tjt "i'll be looking

Joss:
Creator, Developer, Bringer of Bliss... Welcome to "In Joss We
Trust" Do you trust in Joss? Here is just one of the
several reasons why YOU should...
His interest in super heroes, horror stories and other twisted tales was
out of the ordinary. ''It was deeper, more consuming than [with] other
children,'' he says.
Ok, so this whole site
is not all about Joss; but being that my six favorite words in the world are
"Written and Directed by Joss Whedon," I figured that I would
at least pay appropriate respect to my all time favorite writer,
creator... whatever. Thank you...Joss... this is for
you.
VOTE
IN MY JOSS POLL!!!

Did you know that there is no set
definition for communication? This is an issue that has been
discussed and debated for years. Some claim that communication is solely
identified by two people engaging in conversation. Others say that
if a message is misunderstood amongst the two taking part in a
particular conversation, as a result, communication does not truly take
place. One of the most basic models of communication, known as the
Sociological Model, attracts attention to various social
upbringings. Furthermore, what may mean or represent something in
one culture, may mean something completely different or opposite in
another. This in itself proves that ones background may be the
cause of misunderstandings, where in some cases, equals no
communication. The Psychological Model addresses the possibility of
noise, or distraction to distort the message trying to be sent and/or
received. Depending on your beliefs and views, this can be the
deciding factor of whether or not communication has taken place.
However, there is one model which relates more closely to my
beliefs. It is called the Pragmatic Model of Communication.
This model
is based on moves made by two individuals. Think of it as though
you were playing a game of chess. With each action, comes a
response to compliment this prior move. Therefore, even if
something is misunderstood, it still causes a reaction which will
eventually lead a correctly interpreted message to be conveyed. Everything
in the world is relative.
Every action made stems off from an action that may have been
made 20 years prior to the current moment.
All communication, at one point or another, stemmed from some
form of misunderstanding. If there
were no misunderstandings in life, speech or actions, several of the occurrences
in your life would not have taken place. To view my revision of
the Pragmatic Model, and for further views on the topic, [click
