In expressing yourself, being able to be understood is the most important thing. Some of the most mind boggling things have come as a result of misunderstandings. I will say that the Vietnam war, was primarily a big misunderstanding of ideologies. The north Vietnamese thought the U.S. was replacing the french as a colonial power. The United States considered it a element of the cold war. The North Vietnamese were not pawns of the Chinese and the Soviets. Had the U.S. tried to comprehend it, they would of realized that Vietnam had been fighting the Chinese a thousand years.In another example A Russia-U.S. space project blew away millions of dollars, due to incomprehension on the measurement of parts.
Being able to express things whether it be justifying war, or building space ships. Comprehension comes in to play. I feel that in my writing and communication as a person, I can comprehend well. I feel that one thing is necessary to be able to comprehend, and that is empathy. Being able to look at someone or something through their eyes or perspective is most important when trying to make just decisions. Empathy should be a guideline to getting the job done. Perspectives and understandings all play a role in writing.
This is something I realized as entered the collegiate level. That writing is not about providing mass sums of information, it is about understanding through comprehension. Great things can be stated in the smallest of words. For in essays competency is channeled through the thesis statement. A direction of the paper, to provide guidance and comprehension. Empathy gives me the perspective to know the audience. Where I can adapt, and write brilliant assertions.
