Man what can I say about the presentation. I will be first to say when it first started I was like humm... am I really going to like or get anything out of this documentary from back it the day. Then it started and I was like man this is awesome. He hit on a lot of topics and things that I had not really sat down and gave a lot of thoughts about. I mean I feel we all know that not everyone is the same, but it never dawned on me as to why its so hard to understand why we are so "different". The fact that it's a form of communication that is keeping us from understanding more about each other is mind blowing. I am one of those types of people that seem to have to ability to just adapt to all forms of people, I guess because I feel like everyone has the right to explain who they are and what the represent. During the video [as he was giving examples] I was thinking to myself the different types of personalities that I have come across and it made somethings a little more clear.
In my head right now I am at wow at all the info that i received from Father Oleska. Like I am thinking of all of the different type of people that I have come in contact with and the times that I felt like extremely awkward around them because I wasn't sure why they were so sad, loud, or monotone. At the same time I am from a family that is really close and touchy feely, so when I meet people that are like "eww I hate to hug" it made me wonder as to what their deal was.
I feel like this video should be shown at jobs that cater to high customer service volume.

I could not believe how much information Father Oleksa put out there in such a short time and how it still applied even after so long. So much of It made sence of things I had always wondered about. Like how we are programed to understand things based on how our family and culture understands.
I agree that the video should be at jobs where people are expected to give quality customer service since we encounter so many different types of people. I think that it would help not only in terms of better communication but also maybe people won't be so judgmental when it comes to other people's culture.
B'Neika,
I completely agree with you. There have been many times that I have come across people that I just don't understand, and this really made me think about how communication is different for everyone.
