Communication is Key!

10/24/2020

Communicating means sharing together, explaining together, thinking together, agreeing and disagreeing. Together. With each other, not with others. The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said...to each other. Not to others. Great communication bridges confusion and clarity. Weak communication brings calamity.

I can really relate to this quote. There was one sentence that really stood out to me and it’s the “But they will always shows you.” Sometimes, there are a lot of things that we can’t say just because of the situation or sometimes we’re just afraid that we’re going to hurt them. But action never lies.

I completely agree with you. I really liked that part of the quote too. There are many circumstances where we are not able to express everything out. For example, we might dislike someone but is not able to express it out because we know that it will hurt their feelings. However, even though we can't directly tell them, sometimes our actions will show them what we really feel inside.

Mint, I agree with the part that action never lies. In life, there will definitely be circumstances where you can always say what you feel. However, you may still communicate and express your feelings through your actions.

I really relate to the quote in the same way as you do. I'm the type of person who isn't comfortable voicing their discomfort to another person, beit a family member, a friend, an upperclassman, in fear that my own words will hurt or disrespect them. That's my biggest nightmare. However, there comes a point where words must be spoken because the other person doesn't understand what we're trying to communicate through our actions. For people who dislike voicing their discomfort, like myself, this was a challenge to overcome, but it was worth it. Communicating our needs became much easier because actions can have different interpretations, depending on what the person understands. Words are much more straightforward and to the point.

I as well relate to this comment because I personally don’t like making others feel hurt or some type of way for what I said to them although It’s is always best to be straight forward since some people dont see how our actions are trying to push them away but not in a bad way. Communicating is important since sometimes people get more hurt when it isn’t said and they don’t understand which will eventually get you fed up and end up hurting their feelings more than intended.

I agreed with you on action never lies. People might be able to lies about how they feel but their action will never lie. Feelings would pressure people to express their actions.

Agree, the actions never lie. There are many times in my life that I was afraid to express my opinions to others. I was scared of how others would judge me. Eventhough I never said it outloud, but instead I can communicate through my actions.

Bell

I strongly agree with you, Yaya. Lack of communication could really lead to conflict. Each person have a different mindset, so the only way we could understand eachother is by exchanging our thoughts.

I like the part that you said, "But action never lies." You can lie to someone, however your actions will not lie and the way you act can reveal about your feeling.

I strongly agree with you, actions never lie, they may be smiling, and they may be laughing with you. But if you really pay attention to their actions, most of the time you will be able to see what they're really up to.

I think you can lie really well with actions. I mean, there is an entire field of study revolving around lying. Most psychopaths also excel at blending in and hiding their violent urges

Yes, you're right. Some people don't wanna be rude or mean so they don't wanna say it outright, but sometimes people can't control their facial expressions or the way they act. Because of that, you can notice when someone doesn't like you from their actions.

Yaya

10/27/2020 10:29:54 pm

I believe that actions do speak louder than words because we don't speak about everything. This is why people stress a lot and conflict starts to happen between relationships. No matter what relationship we are in we should always communicate. Communicating is the most important way for human beings to express and exchange ideas and thought. Lack of communication creates conflict. We should not expect people to understand us, they will never truly know what is going on. Because they are not experiencing it with us and people have different feelings and perspectives on things. We are all different but communicating helps us get along. It is also a very good way for us to release our stress, sometimes speaking it out is better than keeping it all to yourself. It is always nice sometimes to have a person listening to us. We should all learn to listen and be more open-minded to others when they are speaking. Learn to accept other people’s thoughts and exchange our thought as well. It will help develop our relationship with them.

I agree with you, Yaya. I feel that sometimes verbal communication is the best way to resolve conflicts. Many people like to keep many things inside and anger builds up in them. By communicating, that anger is released and the other side would be more likely to understand our circumstances. Sometimes just our actions along might not be enough to tell them what is going on. Verbally telling them could also help solve the problem.

Emmy (AP Research + Lang)

10/28/2020 08:48:08 am

"We should not expect people to understand us, they will never truly know what is going on."

I want to write this exact quote on my own forehead because I'm one of the culprits of it. Hahahahah. Growing up as an only child, I expected anyone to read my mind and understand what I'm feeling when I'm sad or angry. Safe to say, I was pretty self-centered. But as I interacted with more and more people, I slowly understood the feeling of being the victim of someone who won't communicate when they get angry. I don't know what the heck they were angry at me about. What did I do wrong? What can I do about it? Is there a solution to this?

Garcia 1A link

10/27/2022 09:26:33 am

I can relate to this because I personally struggle expressing my emotions but expecting others to leave me alone and understand when they are just trying to help but don’t know how to since I lack on communication. Usually I tend to push everyone away unintentionally since I don’t like the attention. But I started communicating properly and talking to people so they understand that i just don’t want to be spoken too. Which is better than trying to show them by your actions since not everyone sees it as a sign, they try to see it as in like if you just going through it or like a phase when in reality you just don’t feel good with them around nor comfortable to open up with them.

Som (Block E)

10/28/2020 07:21:43 pm

I totally agree with you because as it is commonly known, 'communication is the key.' In order to solve problems, we have to communicate with each other to know what other people need or dislike. Moreover, talking also helps relief stress since keeping it to yourself may be too stressful.

I mostly agree with your response. I agree that most of our language comes from body language, since that is how all animals start out. We then expand into other forms of communication like words. This is why i think body language and actions help connect people from different cultures.

Cho-Ching

I totally agree with you. Before languages were created, people used body language to communicate with other.

I agree with you. It is important to understand people's body language, but verbal communication is also extremely important. People might not always notice your mood changes or facial expressions, so you'll have to tell them what's wrong.

I totally agree with you. Miscommunication often leads to misunderstandings. This will lead a lot of people into conflicts. If the communication is good then they will be able to perfectly understand each other.

Lara (English 12 BLK F)

10/30/2020 10:00:12 am

I really like how you said actions speak louder than words because I am really familiar with this quote, but I still doesn't get it. Communication is still the key and it do speak louder! However,
sometimes both words and actions are equally important because we couldn't only trust words, but action should come together.

Ping English 12 Block F

10/27/2020 11:23:44 pm

I totally agree with the quote. I feel that some people are extremely good at keeping what they think inside and not telling anyone. However, our body language is not able to lie like our mouth so closely watching how others act might allow us to know what they think. Many people might dislike you right now but they are not going to confront you with it. The only way to find out is to examine their actions when they are with you.

Kati English Block F

10/28/2020 05:50:58 am

Ping, closely watching someone's body language to see what they think is a really great idea to increase communication! Listening to them verbally might not always give us the truth of how they are truly feeling inside.

Belle (AP Research block A) link

10/28/2020 10:12:10 am

I agree that we should be observant and watch out for messages one is trying to send through body language. We never know what anyone is going through. Observing behavior and noticing changes may even save a life someday.

Mint (Block H)

10/31/2020 08:46:29 am

I really like how you say observing behavior and noticing changes may even change may even save someones life. It’s true on how someone might be going through something that we may not know about so noticing changes in behavior can really tell us a lot.

Som Block E

10/28/2020 07:19:55 pm

I agree with what you said since the body language will tell you everything about a person. However, not everyone is able to look and know from other people's actions what they actually think because we can make many inferences.

Kris

10/28/2020 09:43:48 pm

I also agree with your interpretation of the quote. No matter how good a person is at concealing their thoughts, it is inevitable that they will let it slip through their actions. Furthermore, her point about how people reveal their true nature when no one else is looking is something I do agree with since people do not like to confront others in front of everyone else.

Henry English 12 Blk E

10/29/2020 09:39:47 am

I love your idea of observing other people's body language to increase communication, I've always find it interesting how you can know what other people are thinking just by examining their actions and body language. However, I don't see body language as a type of communication, in my opinion, communication is only valid through verbal speaking.

Rei Eng 12 BLK E

10/30/2020 04:59:45 am

I totally disagree, considering there is even a sign language, which is a language composed of hand gestures. Communication is definitely valid without actual verbal speaking, and so many more informations can be identified through observing their body language.

Kati English Block F

10/28/2020 05:51:44 am

The quote is agreeable, since it is true that we may not say everything we feel. People often keep things to themselves rather than say it out loud, especially when it is something negative. However, if we pay close attention to someone, their actions may not lie. For instance if you like someone, you may not be able to say it, but your eyes would always be looking for them, your face may blush, and this is how we truly know how someone feels. In my opinion, communication doesn’t always have verbal, but It must make you hear other people’s thoughts. It could be visual communication, written communication, or any way shape of form. However, the key objective is that you are able to exchange information and express the feelings inside you.

Kurt English 12 Block F

Although it's rare, there are people who are able to hide their actions just as good as they do with their thoughts. But there are also people who is open and would always share their opinions regardless of whether or not their thoughts offend people. I concur with you that body language is important, but we should also have our verbal skills as that is how people primarily connect with each other.

Mint (English 12 Block E)

10/28/2020 10:25:42 pm

I totally agree with this sentence you said “the key objective is that you are able to exchange information and express the feelings inside you”. I believe that whenever there are conflict or problems, it is important for the other person to know what the problem is and what you really feel about them, so the problem could be solved. But if it doesn’t work, it’s still best to let them know your true feelings about them.

Tonhom (Eng11 Block B)

10/28/2020 05:53:00 am

Indeed, people do not always tell their feeling about how they feel about you, but their actions can say. With that said, we have to pay attention to better understand them and how to conduct ourselves. Also, great communication is very important where it can create a better relationship and understanding.

For some people, their actions can say but for some people, it’s not. In my opinion, people won’t say bad thing about you because they think that it can destroy the friendship. Yes, communication is very important. Say something is better than saying not thing all but you also have to says with reason too and other also have to listen to your reason because different people also have different point of view and opinions.

I disagree that actions will always represent an individual's true feelings since some people tend to put on acts in front of others in order to hide their true personalities. For instance, a depressed person may fake a smile and act nice in order to decrease attention.

Nick English 12 Block E

10/30/2020 08:20:30 am

I agree with what you’ve said. Actions is always observant while language can be hidden in lies and unwilling to speak the truth. However, one could lie with their words and hide their actions through feigning. Thus, some exceptions always exist if a person is very good at faking their actions.

At first I was about to write a long essay about why I disagreed to this week's prompt. But as I thought about the concept in my head, it does really make sense. Communication is REQUIRED to maintain any type of relationship, really. It doesn't only apply to romantic ones; it also applies to professional or family settings, amongst other types. I know many people who aren't comfortable voicing their own discomfort or thoughts on something (including myself) and this is where they resort to body language to communicate their needs. But when the receiver doesn't sense it, that's where calamity occur and the relationship starts falling apart.

Belle (AP Research Block A) link

10/28/2020 10:07:41 am

I agree that body language can be a means of communication when one lacks the skills to verbally communicate their feelings. However, I have to disagree that relationships will immediately fall apart just because a partner may not be able to sense the messages one is sending through body language. In my opinion, everyone has their own means of communication and things will eventually work its way out for each and everyone of us. :)

I particularly like this person's comment since the writer reveals that they have thought about this subject with thorough thought. Additionally, I also applaud their bravery to admit that their originally perspective was wrong and that they like the one given by the teacher more. The writer also connected the quote to herself which I thought is a nice touch.

Jimmy (Eng 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 10:00:08 am

I completely agree with you. Towards strangers I am also shy, and wouldn't really voice my opinions against them. Therefore, I also rely on my actions to express my feelings towards them. Because of this sometimes they don't receive the message, and it causes awkward situations of misunderstanding between us.

Cindy ( AP Research Block A)

10/29/2020 08:51:22 pm

I totally agree with what you said that communication is required to maintain a relationship. If people don't even try to talk it out, there's no way to save a relationship because misunderstandings will just get deeper. It's normal for people to be uncomfortable with speaking out, but it should also be noted that not everyone is able to read other's body language with precision. Things can get awkward real quick if people misinterpret your body language.

Mint (Block H)

10/30/2020 01:38:50 am

I really like how you say that talking might be awkward but without it the relationship wouldn’t work. In life sometimes its very awkward to to talk it out with someone who you might not be close to but if we don’t talk, the relationship might end up being toxic.

First 3182 English Block H

10/28/2020 09:49:37 am

I strongly agree with this quote because it is true that some people might feel more comfortable keeping their feeling with themself. However, their feeling will affect their reaction. They will act the way they feel, therefore, in the end, they will show out by their action. Furthermore, the best way to solve this is by communicating. Good communication will keep the relationship and patch things up.

I agree with that people will likely act or react to how they feel towards a person. This would occur more likely to some one who we are closer with or interact frequently. For people who we are not so close with or interact less frequently, our actions might be seem neutral or be voluntary.

I also think that at first, people may keep their feelings to themselves. But someday, when they kept too much, then eventually they will burst it out through their actions. And I think that communicating together will let people understand each other more better.

Tonhom (Eng11 block B)

10/29/2020 01:32:25 am

What you said is true, some people might not tell what they feel about someone, so they just keep it to themself, but those feeling will act out instead of say it out. In order to understanding someone, you have to communicate with them.

Belle (AP Research block A) link

10/28/2020 09:59:58 am

The intent of the writer of the quote is to alarm their readers that actions speak louder than words which I completely agree to. There are many means of communication. Body language is one of the most important means of all. One doesn't necessarily have to use any words to communicate their point to others who are observant enough to notice the messages one is sending through body language. However, if the point doesn't get through just by using body language alone, verbally communicating will eventually come into play.

Jai-Jai link

10/28/2020 10:38:11 am

I like the point you made, where one notices that their body language can't do the trick they will start to use verbal communication to get their point across. I would like to add that the situation also plays a role on how observant the receiver or the sender is. For example, "A" asks "B" a question, I would be likely that "A" would be observant of "B's" response or reaction.

Ryo (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 05:21:43 am

Body language is a telltale sign of a disturbance or an issue in the relationship and is an easy way to attest to problems and obstacles that are present in a relationship. Observation is also key because the receiver has to interpret the verbal message, body language and tone of the sender and make a logical or emotional response which would most likely elicit a certain conditioned response from the sender. Both sides must put themselves in each other's shoes and be cognisant of the circumstances and situation.

Jai-Jai Block A link

10/28/2020 10:12:04 am

After looking at the picture, I wonder why a person wouldn't want to tell how they feel about someone. Sometimes people just don't care enough. Sometimes you might see their actions one way but their intention might be the other. I feel like body language can be voluntary but most of the time is involuntary. I do agree, that observing a person's actions directed or indirected at you could help you piece information about how that person feels about you.

Leah (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 10:12:11 am

I'd reserve communication by observation for individuals who could actually do so, rather than an open opportunity for all. As vision and observation may be something that's voluntarily received by an individual, perceptual differences may result in further miscommunication through actions and body language. On the other side of the spectrum, communication by speech may be more objective in the sense that certain vocabulary possess specific definitions, and that culture itself is often applied in language, leaving little space for perceptual miscommunication based on such aspects.

Aurora AP Research Block A

10/30/2020 08:13:57 am

I agree with you that observing an individual helps someone gain "information about how that person feels about you." Careful observation is essential to understand an individual's true feelings and emotions since people don't always tell the truth. Additionally, I personally feel like there are multiple ways to observe other people's true feelings other than observation. For instance, an individual's writings help me know more about the individual; also, the individual's actions tell me more that the individual's personality.

Bell English 12 Block F

10/28/2020 11:04:23 am

I strongly agree with this quote, sometimes people don't want to express their feelings to others. Maybe they were afraid to say or scared that things may get worse. However, the actions never lie. One doesn't have to say their thoughts out loud, but the person who they talk to could already feel what's inside their mind by the body language and facial expression.

Kurt English 12 Block F

10/28/2020 07:33:05 pm

There are some emotionless people who could hide their emotions even when talking so the claim that "the actions never lie" would not apply to every case. If you really want to know how they feel about you, just observe the person closely and if they stutter or make a pause while talking about the good things about you, then it is very possible that they are lying since they are making up lies. It's easier to tell someone the truth than making up lies.

Yaya

10/28/2020 09:33:33 pm

I agree that people don’t dare to speak up because sometimes they are scared of the effect. So people will tend to keep it to themselves without clearing it with the other person. I am one of them, there are a lot of times were I keep things to myself because I don’t want to face the truth.

Q (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 02:05:28 am

Action do speaks louder than words. When we do not understand the reasoning to an action, we can also observe their body language, facial expression and many more. I don’t think there are anyone who has the ability to fully hide their emotions because we human are expressive animals.

Ruby (AP Research Block A)

10/29/2020 10:59:24 am

I agree that actions never lie. Through a person's action, we can know a lot about them. People can lie when they are talking and using words. It is much harder to lie with actions when your mind is not thinking about the same thing.

Lara (English 12 BLK F)

10/30/2020 09:54:46 am

I think that words are clearer than actions, but actions are just more trustable. If that person can't read how others feeling about them then there's no point of showing that action. Therefore, I really want people to tell how they feel about others, than just show it through actions.

Arly (English 11 Block B)

10/28/2020 11:23:56 am

I personally think that most of the time, actions are more important than words. I think sometimes words spoken out may not have as much effect on someone than actions. Hearing things from someoneSo for some people, they may show their actions to you, which is much easier to understand their opinion towards you more than words without needing to explain anything to you.

I also truly believe that actions are the truth about a person. Because a person can say hundreds of things but they can’t act all of them out. For example, we can say “I love you” to strangers but if we don’t really love them how can we truly express it out.

Eve (English 11 B)

I'll have to disagree with you on this part, I believe that both actions and words are very powerful, and can equally cause people both grief and happiness. Although I understand why you would say that actions can speak louder than words, However, words can also scar you deeply.

Mulan 3415 English Block H

10/28/2020 12:27:10 pm

For me I think that people alway tell us what they are think by their action. Because it is easier to say lie than to pretend. For some people it may be hard to understand someone by their action but if you just try it may be easier than to understand what they say because they might lie to you. I have know a lot of people who doesn't like to talk and I will not be able to tell that they are think just by what they say. I have to look at their action and their face that will tell me exactly what they are thinking.

Arly (English 11 Block B)

I think that other people wouldn't be able to understand your feelings of you did not tell them. But it is very clear when people look at the emotions from your face, because it would exactly tell the feelings.

Phakhom (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 07:09:55 am

I agree to you that saying lie is easier than pretend. People can show their feeling by saying, but it doesn't mean that it is their real feelings. For action, people can pretend, but it never last long. There will be some kind of action that show the feelings clearly. So action is really hard to pretend.

Som

10/28/2020 07:16:01 pm

I totally agree with this quote because the majority of the people does not show what they think or feel. This may be because people are afraid of the consequences to show what they truly feel. Thus if one is smart enough, one will carefully observe how others act toward you. This way, one would know what others think of them and make use of that knowledge.

Mint (English 12 Block E)

10/28/2020 10:19:48 pm

I think that this is a huge factor in our life, because most of the people in our world, care about how they look in the society because they don't want people to look down on them.

Kurt English 12 Block F

I concur with this quote. People may not always tell you verbally how they feel about you, but their actions will definitely show it. I can totally relate to this quote in the past because there are times when people would laugh at me whenever I appear in front of them but we would never really got into a conversation. This could happen due to a variety of reasons. It could be due to jealousy or could be due to awkwardness, or it could be a joke, although it's very rare that people would do something like this as a joke. For me, I would just ignore them because paying attention to them would only reduce my self-esteem.

Sinny AP Research Block A

I like the example you gave, and I'm glad that you didn't care about the laughter. They might have done it unintentionally, maybe it was just a joke, or it could be mixed with other meanings; but still, they didn't "say" it directly. It's good that you didn't care, nonetheless, some people might care a lot and think too much, which is possible to cause some misunderstandings.

Sam English 12 Block E

10/29/2020 09:36:38 am

I completely agree with your example from the past. This kind of situation also appears to me and my other friends as well. We would not communicate about our feelings to anyone in this case because it might be embarrassing to express. Thus, it is very evident that people often show their feelings through actions when they are quiet. One could be feeling despair, annoyance, irritation, misery inside without talking about it.

Sam English 12 Block E

Communication is significant as it provides us the opportunity to understand one another. People often misunderstood each other when there is ambiguity in communicating. Communication is also necessary for most introverts, who often don’t express their feelings and temptation through words. This kind of fellows often shows their emotions with actions or body language. For instance, when an introvert is angry about his friends, he would not directly talk to his friends. Instead, he might try to hide from his friends and unwilling to respond to the message his friends send him. However, the quote is not always accurate as there are always exceptions to incidents. Some introverts might not tell anyone about their feelings and fake their actions. All in all, the quote is probably right most of the time since it’s challenging to hide feelings completely.

Ryo (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 05:17:53 am

Yes, communication is key to any relationship and it builds trust and respect between those involved. Good and consistent communication is a better alternative to emotion-based actions and reactions because they require a more thorough thought process and consideration for the consequences of such actions and decisions.

Jacky (English Block H)

10/29/2020 09:51:22 am

I agree with Ryo's view on this, without trust or respect all there will be is paranoia and loathing. With good communication, anyone and everyone can be sincere to everybody. Having consistent communication allows for everyone to get along, or at the very least try to resolve their differences.

March (English 11 Block B)

10/29/2020 10:49:05 am

I agree with Ryo's point of view that trust and respect play a big role in this. That when people have trust they would be comfortable with speaking up instead of using actions. But when they don't trust you they would think that speak up would be suicidal and maybe making this a bigger problem than before.

Kris English 12 Block E

10/28/2020 09:37:59 pm

I fully agree with both the pictures and the text below it. No matter where you are, when you are, or who you are, communication will always be a vital part of your life. The picture explicitly states how what matters is a person's actions and not their words. This sentiment, while handy in general, is especially relevant in Asian culture, where people's avoidant tendencies cause them to put on a façade only to gossip behind their backs. It shows that while communication is important, it is even more important that you hone your skill in order to seek out those who will help you and push away those who will hurt you. The text below further emphasizes the significance of communication through "Weak communication brings calamity", while juxtaposing it with "Great communication bridges confusion and clarity". Thus, from these two components, we are able to infer the importance of quality communication.

Sam English 12 Block E

10/29/2020 09:29:22 am

I partially agree with what you had stated. A person's action matters more than their word as people often do not feign their actions. One could lie or unwilling to communicate in order to kept their feelings in their mind. However, there are also people are good at feigning their actions. In this case, their feelings are not expressed in any way.

Mint (English 12 Block E)

10/28/2020 10:06:08 pm

I also believe that communication is key. It allows us to know more facts, be more open to stuff, see things in a different perspective, understand each other, or even hate each other. Imagine if two people miscommunicate, it could lead to several misunderstandings and problems later on. It is true that people won’t tell others how they feel about them, but they will act it out instead. So whenever we talk to someone, we can feel if they’re being sincere or not sincere to us. However, some people are very good at that and we never know. So paying attention to their action will help. But the best solution is to communicate whenever there are problems, but if it doesn’t work, people will find other ways. Therefore, communication is very important.

Q (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 01:59:44 am

I completely agree with you, communication is indeed vital to our life. Without communication, I believe it will bring more conflict than when we communicate. It also very important to observe people’s action because not everyone have the ability to speak out their minds.

Wesley AP Research

10/28/2020 10:55:44 pm

I agree that people only show you how they feel because they don’t necessarily know how to talk and talking directly and straight up telling how you feel may be insulting. It’s telling us to pay attention because I think that if we don’t pay attention and other people don’t tell us how they feel, then we would not be very understanding of other people. We should most of the time tell other people how we feel unless it is harmful to others or if it doesn’t fit the context of the conversation.

Sinny AP Research Block A

10/29/2020 05:09:20 am

Indeed, straight up telling is possible to hurt others' feelings, and people might only be willing to show others how they feel instead of telling because of this reason. However, some people might not feel comfortable if they are forced to tell others how he/she feels; in my opinion, this should be their right to choose whether to speak out or not. Even if the feelings won't be harmful to others, it might violate some people's own privacy. Personally thinking, always expressing our feelings won't always be helpful and positive. In some situations, straight up showing your feelings might make things even worse; therefore, I would choose to hold an opposing opinion for the last sentence.

Ruby (AP Research Block A)

10/29/2020 10:51:39 am

Yes I agree that some people might not necessarily know how to talk to others and we should pay more attention to their actions to understand what they are trying to tell us. I also agree that we should all try to tell others how we feel to avoid misunderstanding and miscommunication. But we should try to have a filter when we are talking to others, being too straightforward can sometimes hurt others' feelings.

Q (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 01:53:09 am

Communication is key to everything, without communication, I believe it is impossible to understand the other side. Communication can help people get together, however it can also cause destruction. If you are not careful the words you are using, it can hurt the feeling of the person who hears those words. But it is impossible for everyone to be able to voice their opinions, so some chose to do it by actions. However actions may not always be clear, that’s why communication is needed to fully convey emotions and thoughts. Some people might also think it is better to not communicate because it can cause disagreement, however I believe it is better to have disagreement from different voiced opinions, rather than nothing at all.

Leah (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 10:07:42 am

Being able to embrace disagreement as something of value is an important way of thought nowadays, I'd say. As media is so widely used in the modern world, it has became increasingly advantageous for individuals to access a variety of sources and ideas. With the spread of ideas made easy, why not seize the opportunity to absorb more perspectives from others?

Praew (AP Lang)

10/29/2020 11:10:00 am

I agree with you that telling the whole truth to someone is not the best idea. This could result in even worse miscommunications and misunderstandings. We should be honest to each other but also keep in mind to have empathy for one another.

Sinny AP Research Block A

10/29/2020 04:22:38 am

For me, this is very true indeed. Sometimes, we won't express our emotions or feelings out in words, and it could be impacted by the environment, our minds, or the person we are talking to. It's kinda ironic that if we spill out all the truth, some people are likely to get upset, and we might be seen as "too straightforward" or “lack of EQ”, which somehow became derogatory. However, our body is incapable of telling lies, they are bad at lying and we can’t control them perfectly; we would unconsciously show out whether our anger, fear, nervousness, happiness, love, or disgust toward others, even if we didn’t say anything out. In this case, if we expect others to “guess” our feelings, but not telling them, lots of misunderstandings could happen; therefore, the importance of communication became self-evident at this point.

Cindy ( AP Research Block A)

10/29/2020 11:18:54 am

I agree with what you said about how expecting people to make assumptions on our feelings is the starting point of most misunderstandings. Without a way to now what others are thinking or feeling, we may interpret other's actions as disgust when it was actually done out of love. This will push people away from each other.

Faith (AP Lang Block D)

10/30/2020 09:30:34 am

I agree that people are sensitive to the truth, therefore we sometimes take it upon ourselves and lie. However, I don't agree that our body is incapable of telling lies. Yes, there are natural bodily responses that can betray us once we lie, but they can also go unnoticed by the gullible or to the untrained eye. Some people are masters of deceit and have great lying skills, such as an unbreakable poker face or impeccable endurance.

Eve (English 11 B)

10/29/2020 04:36:55 am

I fully agree with the quote. Communication plays a significant role in relationships and it allows us to better understand others. It can create a bond between people but on the other hand, it can harshly destroy the relationship as well. Sometimes people don’t express their feelings by words but by their actions so I think it is important to observe their actions in order to make the relationship become better.

Am English 11 B

10/29/2020 05:48:50 am

I strongly agree with your point that communication can play a very significant role in many relationships, and that weak communication can cause many friendships or bonds to fall apart

Phakhom (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 06:46:14 am

I agree with you that communication can create bonds and also destroy the relationships. Your words remind me of a situations. Many people alway think that this person is their best friend. But some day when you needed them so much, they weren't there for you. This action shows clearly that they weren't love you, but they just saying it out. So I think that communication and action is really important in our society.

Sean ( English 11 B )

10/29/2020 09:28:46 am

I agree that we have to observe other people actions to make the relationship better. Because without good communication the relationship won't be too good.

Poohpha(English 12)

10/30/2020 10:11:02 am

Observing themselves is the most significant thing in building relationship. It is totally true that actions can destroy friend ship. Saying that observing other people's action is the first thing you have to do.

Ryo (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 05:14:48 am

As they say - don't tell me, show me. A verbal response is much more spontaneous, it is more instinctual and emotionally focused while an action is planned and logical. Paying attention to other people's behavior allows you to identify and decipher patterns, attest to claims and analyze your relationship with that individual. Actions show more conviction than words because it is the evidence that backs the claim (the verbal statement). Don't be a talker, be a doer.

Henry English 12 Blk E

10/29/2020 09:51:07 am

I love your thoughts on verbal response and action response, the part where you said action is planned and logical truly dazed me. Because your explanation was simple and easy to understand, which made your elaboration of how people can analyze their relationship with other people through their action really persuasive.

Copter English 12 Block E

10/30/2020 10:26:45 am

I think that your idea was cool, because the way you explain it easy to understand and I think that people can analyze there lifestyle, by their action.

Am ( English 11 B )

10/29/2020 05:45:08 am

This type of quote, that you'll hear in any movie, books, or even in your daily life. "Communication is the key" without it, can cause bonds and relationships to fall apart. I feel like the part where the author says "Pay attention" is inspiring and gives out a more powerful and more profound meaning to this quote. Indeed, people often would tell you the truth about how they feel, However I also believe that actions speak louder than words, and that's the reason why words without actions are meaningless

pakawat (english 11 blk H)

10/29/2020 07:25:21 am

I agree, that communication is an essential part of relationships and connections between people. It is important to pay close attention to other people in every details, as words may not be the only way they're communicating with us. And that actions holds more effect than just pure words.

Phakhom (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 06:39:05 am

I agree with the quote that people don't tell other about their feeling, but they show their feelings by their actions. According to my experiences, people don't want to say their feeling out loud, because it might cause a conflicts or they are too shy. But we can see it by their actions. I believe that every people can see how others feel about them, just by the way they act toward us. Actions are important, but many people didn't pay attention with it. So sometime the feeling that they say and their action are opposite. So we should pay attention on people's action too.

pakawat (english 11 blk H)

10/29/2020 07:23:25 am

I agree that people often don't tell other about their feelings, and sometime those feeling could be seen in their actions. However depending on the people, some could learn to hide their feelings even in their actions, but still there are still limits to those.

Felicia (English 11 Block B)

10/29/2020 09:46:35 am

I agree with you that some people would prefer not to express their feelings out loud because it might cause conflicts or they're just shy. Even though they might not be able to express their feelings through words, but their actions will show. I also think paying attention to people's actions is important too.

Hoon

10/29/2020 03:14:14 pm

I agree with you that some people might overlook other's action which sometimes can negatively effect relationship between two people due to carelessness. It would be better if we pay more attention and observe the actions that people give toward us so that we can know how they feel and react them back as the way it should be.

10/30/2020 02:07:16 am

Your opinion is valid and I agree with it. I think that it's not wrong to express our opinion by communicating it with another person. Sometimes it might be controversial, but it's better to stand up for yourself. I agree with how acting it out is great, but there are some events that our actions don't match our intentions and it will come off as being the opposite.

pakawat (english 11 blk H)

10/29/2020 07:20:30 am

Communication is definitely an essential asset to live, whether it's going to be for humans all any kind of living organism. We lived in a world where the bio-space is shared by various other living organism, to put that to our advantage, communication allows us to understand and shared information among each other. While it allows us to shared ideas, enabling us to agree and disagree with each other, it helps us understand what another person is trying to communicate, also helping us sees things in varying perspectives. Although, it's such an amazing ability, sometime communication could also cause calamity like they said, lack or unclear communication could cause various problems, to misunderstanding. Communication can be express through many ways, and actions are also part of it, from the way a person moves to talks, it tell us a lot of things about them.

Sean ( English 11 B )

10/29/2020 09:13:26 am

Yes, I agree with you, that sometime communication can cause calamity because of a misunderstanding. That is why we have to read their emotions on their face as well, to reduce the chance of misunderstanding.

Poohpha(English 12)

10/30/2020 10:13:22 am

It is true that communication is very useful since we can share information between each other. But on the other hand, unclear conversation can lead to conflicts among each other.

Pro (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 08:41:28 am

I do not think this quote is true at all. Every one can hide their true feelings. A huge example of this is in the marketing department. There is no way a CEO of a company is going to like every one of his customers. However, he is able to hide these feelings well enough to make money off them.

Pam (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 09:04:22 am

I partly agree with your idea that says everyone can hide their true feelings and what they think. It is true that most people try to hide their thoughts to maintain an image of trustworthiness. However, research has shown that our bodies betray is in a lie. While we are trying to control and hide our unwanted emotions, our body will give signs that shows that we are lying. This is the reason why we should pay attention to people's actions rather than their words because the body itself can't lie.

Brendon (AP research Block A)

10/29/2020 10:34:40 am

Adding on to what you said, our body always reflects what we think, and there is concrete evidence out there to support this claim. Our pupil dilates a little under stress, our body shrinks when we're anxious, our legs shake when we're nervous, etc. Apart from standard conversation communication, reading someone's body language is also a form of communication. This is why we should stay attentive and to listen, but also observe, what someone is expressing to us.

Ken

10/29/2020 11:05:22 am

I do not agree all of your statement. In my perspective CEO of a company does not know who their customer is because there is a department where they only deals with customer. Therefore it is rare that a CEO can hate his customer because he do not deal with his customers directly.

Pam (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 08:56:23 am

I agree with the quote saying that sometimes people won't communicate out their thoughts and ideas through words. Instead, some people choose to express them out through their actions. For example, when you have negative thoughts about someone or something. You wouldn't walk up and express your negative thoughts about them. However, they would slowly notice it through your actions such as how you try to avoid them. This example clearly shows that your true thoughts and emotions are expressed through your actions.

Sean ( English 11 B )

10/29/2020 09:03:28 am

Communication let us communicate our feeling with other people, but sometime there are something that we can't speak about. Sometime we just can't tell what we feel, because of manners. If a person sitting in front of you smells bad and you don't know him are you going to tell? If it were me then, nope, because it will hurt his feeling, and by manner you shouldn't too. That is why we have to look at facial expression for some clue. We can tell a lot just by looking at others people face, and it teaches us a lot of things.

Pam (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 09:10:30 am

I agree with how you describe that facial expression gives us a clue of the true emotions the speaker is experiencing. It is true that most people avoid to be honest because they don't want to hurt other people's feelings.

Aom (English Block H)

10/30/2020 05:26:31 am

I agree with you and how you gave us the example. Most people avoid telling what they feel because they are scared that it would hurt the other person’s feeling. Therefore , we have to pay attention to pay attention to their actions.

Jimmy

10/29/2020 09:26:16 am

I completely agree with this quote Since I am the one performing the actions of this quote. I don't usually talk to people, but my actions really do express how I feel towards them. Towards people I dislike I treat them horribly, like ignore them or express disgusts whenever they do something. Towards the people I like, I tend to be around them more often, and smile whenever I'm in their vicinity. Usually actions are controlled by our subconscious, meaning we'll perform nice actions towards things we like, and express irritated actions towards people I dislike, without us manipulating our actions. While verbal communications is controlled by our conscious mind so we could choose to hide our true feelings towards some people.

Dora

10/29/2020 10:04:01 am

I can relate to you so much, it seems so hard to hide our facial expression. I could see it on the other's face too, it seems like the quote is right. If you pay attention you would know about how the others feel certainly.

Henry English 12 Blk E

10/29/2020 09:31:15 am

Communication is very important in our daily life, the reason why communication is so important is because it turns confusion into clarity, it would prevent many misunderstandings between people. However, I don't think the most important thing in communication would be hearing what isn't being said. The whole point of communication is to speak up, talk with the people, solve the confusions. But when you have to figure out the things that are not being said by yourself, that's a failure of communication.The most important thing in communication is so speak up and talk to each other, instead of hearing what isn't being said.

Dora

10/29/2020 10:12:07 am

I really like the fact that you mentioned how verbal communication isn't the most important thing in communication.The point of communication is to make things clear for each other, however sometimes people choose to lie towards the others.

Jimmy (Eng 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 10:21:29 am

I like what you said and agree with you especially the last part of "The most important thing in communication is so speak up and talk to each other, instead of hearing what isn't being said." Because that is what communication really is. Truly understanding what is being said instead of hearing what you want to hear. Which brings true clarity and allows both party to understand what the other party is expressing.

Kevin (AP Research Blk A)

10/29/2020 10:29:11 am

I really like what you said, and it brought a whole new perspective to me. It's definitely true, it matters not what we are able to understand, but what we are able to do with it. I wish the world was a more black and white place where communication is truly as easy as asking others what they're feeling. Alas, that's not how the world works but to your point, that's why we must spend more effort in communicating how we feel. If we were all more focused on expressing ourselves, we wouldn't have to worry about paying attention to subtle cues as much. I talked about how hit-or-miss our ability to do so really is in my quote, so I believe it's best we rely on that less. But that would require everyone to speak up!

Nick English Blk E

10/30/2020 08:04:52 am

I really like your perspective toward communication, I've seen other people's response and everyone agree with the fact that hearing what isn't being said is very important in communication. However, I love how you believe that doing so is a failure of communication.

Felicia (English 11 Block B)

10/29/2020 09:38:13 am

I agree with this quote because communication is important, communication includes being able to talk to others and listen to others. Communication is what brings people together and let individuals express themselves to other. But in times that people can't express themselves through words, actions are how people expresses themselves. Paying attention is also important because listening to others is also a part of communication, anyways communication is key!

Brendon (AP research Block A)

10/29/2020 10:48:10 am

Communication is indeed important, and yes, it includes listening to others. I can relate to you when you said "in times that people can't express themselves through words, actions are how people expresses themselves." I think we can all agree that we all have our bad days, and on those bad days we really don't feel like talking and doesn't want to bother with anyone. Those actions we do while we're upset, those expressions can be read by others. So to have good communication, you should not only be able to listen, but to read others and seek for hidden signs.

Myra (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 10:58:54 pm

I agree with you because communication is really vital to form relationships. However, I also feel like maybe sometimes actions may speak louder than words in some cases, especially when communication means disagreements and misunderstandings.

Krystal Lin (English 11 Block B)

10/30/2020 08:55:51 am

I like the sentence says " Paying attention is also important because listening to others is also a part of communication." So basically when we have communication we need to pay attention for what they just say. If we don't, we can't know how they feel clearly. I think it will hurt other people. So we need to pay attention.

Dora (English 11 Block B)

10/29/2020 09:53:34 am

Communication is a very important bridge for us to connect with the society. However it can comes in different ways, communication is not just talking to each other, but also how we feel and do. People's thought could be hidden, however actions are hard too. Physical interaction reflects how we feel about things, so we would know about people if we realise about that.

Felicia (English 11 Block B)

10/29/2020 10:19:22 am

I really like how you mentioned that communication comes in different ways, communication isn't just talking to each other but also how we feel and do things. I agree that people can hide their thoughts and physical interaction reflects on our thoughts. So if we pay attention we can know how people see us.

Krystal Lin (English 11 Block B)

10/30/2020 08:53:13 am

I agree with the sentence "Communication is a very important bridge for us to connect with the society." When we make friends or social, we need to have communication. If we don't, we probably can't make a good relationship with other people. So we need communication.

Leah (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 10:03:12 am

Communication may be perceived differently by each individual. From a more socially oriented person, we may expect their form of communication to be by speech. On the other hand, when looking at a relatively less social person, it could be assumed that they shift their focus on communication elsewhere, perhaps to actions, expressions or body language. Regardless of whatever form of communication one may prefer, one thing should be held constant - the clarity of one's intentions and thoughts, as well as the efficiency of how such aspects are conveyed towards others.

Krystal (English block h)

10/30/2020 09:20:36 am

I agree with you because I think no matter what kind of issue you may have. Communication will always be a key part to keep the relationships good. Certainly, which way would you want to use to communicate with others will be fine.

Jimmy (Eng 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 10:04:47 am

March (Eng 11 Block B)

10/29/2020 10:24:44 am

Your point shows that action causes more damage to people feeling than words sometimes. That is with action sometimes you need the guts to show that you are uncomfortable but speaking it could make the problem bigger.

March (English 11 block B)

10/29/2020 10:06:23 am

I can relate to this quote greatly because when people get close to you personally. There will come a time when they would feel uncomfortable telling you what they are feeling. Instead of telling you, they would show you by an action for example they might respond to you differently or even try to avoid you. But this is a part of life if you pay attention and care you would get the message and improve yourself surely.

Joseph English 11 B

11/1/2020 06:00:18 pm

Hi March, my thought is exactly the same as yours. Your conclusion is wonderful. We should improve ourselves therefore it will no longer happen. Why would people turn mad on you if they like you?

Brendon (AP research Block A)

10/29/2020 10:14:59 am

The key to having great communication is to be an active listener. It doesn't mean to just sit there and listen to what the person is saying, rather it's to stay engaged and attentive. You can't be a good communicator if you can't listen to others, and you can't expect others to listen to you if you can't do the same for them. A little of listening and communicating goes a long way.

Kevin (AP Research Block A)

That's right on, in this day and age where the means of communication is accessible as it has ever been, active listening is what seems to be lost along the way. I'm definitely guilty of this to, asking someone how they're doing just for the sake of doing it, and not really bothering to pay attention to their response, it's these types of actions that contribute to a poorer quality of communication, and being a worse active listener. It's certainly not easy sometimes, but trying to actively listen is key to gaining insight on someone's feelings. I think it's also a form of respect people should have, if someone is sharing how they feel, which might not always be easy, the least you can do is to listen attentively.

This quote definitely hits home for me and reminds me of another quote, “action speak louder than words”. Humans, for as smart as we are, are pretty terrible and concealing lies and pretending to be or feel something we are not. Personally, you can always tell when someone doesn’t feel comfortable around you despite what words actually come out of their mouths. It’s the tone, the tension in their bodies, the stale look on their face, things like this that gives the real feelings all away. However, I think there are also times when our ability to pick on such things are worse than what we think. I sometimes give off the impression as annoyed, or cold, when in reality I was just in a train of thought or was feeling uncomfortable, not displeased at others. This is where the communication and the attention part comes in. One really has to put in effort to dig deep into a conversation or during observation in order to see the real intentions of someone else. Communication has the ability to cover up for our hit-or-miss ability of picking up unconscious signals from others. Too many times good intentions go to waste because of poor communication and poor actions, that’s why the quote and text resonates with me.

Myra (English 12 Block E)

I agree with how you mention that our ability to tell what others are feeling is only to a certain degree. Often times, we would have to know their real intentions more through conversation. I think maybe there are times when conversation is more reliable than just looking at actions alone.

Cindy ( AP Research Block A)

10/29/2020 10:27:56 am

I wholeheartedly agree with this quote. Sometimes misunderstanding happens, and this is when communication is essential. Misunderstandings can be avoided and settled if both sides take the initiative to talk and explain to each other. If both sides do not communicate and make assumptions, it will not solve anything, and only more rumors and problems will arise.

Ruby (AP Research Block A)

Communication is the key to every relationships that a person can ever have. Without communication. there would be no connection between people because the 'bridge' is not there. Figuring out what others are thinking isn't easy but it could be important since we don't always say everything that's on our mind. Actions speak louder than words, so that's why we should pay attention to every little details.

Earth English 12 Block F

I agree with you. A lot of times communication needs to be emphasized in a relationship to ensure trust and love between one another. I also like how you use the word bridge to describe the bond.

Ken English F

10/29/2020 11:02:33 am

I certainly agree to this statement that all communications are not passed through by words. people might not tell you how they feel about you but you can tell how they feel about you they their actions. Actions tell more story about feelings of a person more than words of mouth. Words that are told by a person might or might not be true but you can distinguish the difference of truth and lie by actions. People's facial expression toward someone is also very important part to tell how they feel about you. You can tell their deep emotions of what is going on by their face at that moment. So communicating by words do help in partners or friends but ultimately I think that focussing on actions can tell the story more than passing words.

Praew (AP Lang)

10/29/2020 11:07:03 am

I agree with you that actions are more important than words, however, there might be a situation where two people communicate but doesn't try to understand each other. The result of this is still bad, so in my opinion, understanding is more important than communicating.

Praew (AP Lang)

10/29/2020 11:04:40 am

I completely agree with this quote. Most people don't and will never truly tell you how they feel about you; however, actions speak louder than words. Communication sure is vital for every single relationship between people, but even if there is communication but no understanding between those people, it is useless. So, in order for communication to truly work, both parties should keep an open-mind and try to understand one another.

Ken

10/29/2020 11:08:01 am

I agree with having an open minded talk is very important between relationships but having open minded talk must be voluntary for both sides. If they agree to have a deep talk but one side lies it will not work.

I agree that actions speaks louder than words. Communications is really the key to everything, because if you misunderstood sometime it could led to some bad things. Therefore we would have to be careful on what we act out because people will be paying attention.

Faith (AP Lang Block D)

I agree that actions speak louder than words, and that communication is vital for a relationship to succeed. Open mindedness and empathy for one another in a relationship are also important, however there are limits. Some actions simply can not be justified and accepted, no matter how open minded and understanding one tries to be.

Ally (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 11:23:28 am

Being observative is more important than just listening since, as the quote said, people might not say everything out loud. Instead, what comes out from a person's actions can speak louder than their words. Other than observing and listening to others, effective communication is also the key to survival in society. It is crucial to communicate effectively to reach a certain goal one has set up. Without effective communication and other qualities aforementioned, it would cause difficulties in understanding others and the other way round.

Hoon (English 11 Block H)

10/29/2020 03:05:44 pm

From my analysis, I can tell that the quote teaches us about communication in life. It is common sense that if you can't tell good things to other or know that it is going to affect both of you in negative ways then you should not tell at the first time because some people they might not express their true feeling with you but how they react on you, you can feel it. I really like the quote because it is exactly like my personality. Due to my personality that looks like doesn't care anything or can't really express my feeling in front of people but I can feel myself when I stay with people that I'm comfortable with uncomfortable one is completely different in my action.

Aom (English 11 Block H)

10/30/2020 05:32:01 am

I totally relate to your personality. Since, I’m not so good at expressing my feelings, I act totally like a different person if I’m comfortable or not around those people as well. That’s why I do think think that paying attention is very important to understand the other person much better.

Ally (English 11 Block H)

10/30/2020 07:07:45 am

I agree with what you’re saying. It is true that people can’t lie about their actions. If they don’t communicate by talking about what they feel, others can still feel it without them having to talk about it. However, I think that it is best to directly tell people about what you're feeling. You just have to try to do it in a nice way.

Baibua (English 11 Block B)

Myra (English 12 Block E)

10/29/2020 10:10:55 pm

I think I agree with this quote since most times, all it takes to see what a person's real thoughts about you are is paying closer attention to how they act around you. The reason I said "think" instead of "know" is because it's usually really hard to read other people's emotions especially when they're trying really hard to conceal how they feel about you intentionally. However, I also believe that if you look long and hard enough, you will see their intentions and what they think about you.

Sally (AP Research Block A)

10/30/2020 07:12:50 am

I agree with you completely, because not everyone has the ability to read people thoroughly. You need to pay close enough attention to the details to figure out their intentions. By observing based their actions towards you in general, it can often be misleading due to the fact that people tend to be more respectful and reserved in public.

Chanel (English 12 Block E)

10/30/2020 08:34:34 am

I agree with you also, because some people does not have the ability to read people's minds and thoughts. We just have to pay attention to the details carefully.

I kind of 50% agree and 50% disagree. Yes, some people might always talk to you or chat with you but sometimes they talk about you behind his or her back. Talking bad things about you to other people. Also, some people also act well with you. For example, go shopping with you or travel with you but that person still talking bad things about you to other people and some people didn't show anything at all, they just keep everything with themself. So I 50% disagree that 'they always show you' because some people are not.

Allie link

10/30/2020 01:44:09 am

I agree with this quote because people tend to talk behind each other’s back. They won’t say what they feel upfront however they would have their facial expression. We wouldn’t really notice how they are acting towards us because we are distracting by our environment. If we pay attention a little more, we’ll see how they are showing their facial expressions and movements towards us. Movements and eye contact is also a way of communication to others.

Miumiu (English 11 Block H)

10/30/2020 02:18:58 am

I agree with you that people sometimes talk behind each other's back. However, I think that facial expression alone can not tell you how a person feel towards you. Some people are too good at hiding their emotions.

Jacky (English H)

10/30/2020 01:51:21 am

I agree with this quote because people often go behind each others back and gossip. They normally don't show how they're really feeling, because they're afraid of being judged by others. If we really open our eyes and see what they're doing, we will see what their true intentions are. Since I was young, I have had this happen to me only once or twice, normally my friends and the people I talk to are people who are quite straight forward, and direct.

I agree with you that there are many situations where this quote can displayed in real-life. I like your example where you said that some people might gossip about others behind their backs, but then act friendly when they meet in person. Another example I would like to share is how some parents might hide how tired they are from their children to keep their children from being worried.

Vivi (english 11 block h )

10/30/2020 02:02:13 am

"People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but they will always show you. pay attention." I understand the text and can relate to it because sometimes it's hard to tell someone about how they feel, but they are able to show it with their actions or emotions. Paying attention to someone shows that you care about them and that you are not ignorant, which is why communicating CLEARLY is the key. If people cooperate with each other, there wouldn't be any miscommunication happening. I think that we shouldn't expect people to understand us, and shouldn't expect that you would completely understand something without paying attention. Communication IS key.

Miumiu (English 11 Block H)

10/30/2020 02:12:23 am

Communication is very important as It allows people to connect to each other and also to understand their feelings and emotions. I strongly agree with this quote because I think that some people might not say everything out loud. So instead, we have to pay attention to their actions. Actions speak louder than words because the things they do show their true intentions and feelings. I experienced a situation where "actions speak louder than words" myself. Some people say that they will always be on my side and never leave me. However, only true friends that will stick by my side during my worst time.

Mint AP Lang D

I agree that communication allows people to connect to each other easier and we should pay attention to people's action. I personally believe that actions speak louder than words, so what people say out may or may not be true, but their actions would always show that they truly feel inside.

Beryl (Block A AP Research)

10/30/2020 02:18:48 am

I kind of have mixed feelings about this quote. On one hand, I agree that actions sometimes reveal the true intention/feelings of a person when words can't. However, there are people who has a good control over their body language/facial expressions/etc. and even if they don't like you, you would never know because they would still be outwardly polite and nice to you. I don't think being completely honest with someone on whether you like them or not, hiding the words but showing it through actions, or just hiding it completely is a bad thing. Everyone has their own way of handling people they don't like; As long as they're not being intentionally cruel to the person, I don't have a problem with how people hide their emotions or wear it on their sleeves.

Grace AP Research Block A

i agree on the fact that everyone has their own ways of handingly people and I completely understand all of their intentions. And like how u feel, if they're not being intentionally cruel to a person, I would not have a problem. But i still think that being honest to someone is still the best option to a problem between two people. Yes, it could possibly cause more trouble, but it wouldn't be as painful trying to act like you enjoy their company when truly you don't.

Birdy. 12E

I strongly agree with you because people these days aren't good with how to reveal their true feeling within. Instead, humans have always treated one another either it would be in good or bad terms. Body language and actions plays quite a crucial part of determining the other people's view on you, by far I can agree this much.

Tham Ap Research

Communication is ,indeed, very important in all matters. I believe that without communicating with others, many things won't be completed successfully. Therefore, communication is key and should be emphasized that it is with others and not to others.

Communication is definitely key to success, but what type of communication? Verbal communication is often misleading, with people who blurt out things without thinking, or people with overly good control over their public appearance. When it's teamwork, verbal communication will play a big part in its success; but when it comes to relationships, non-verbal communication might weigh more. I like how you say "communication is key and should be emphasized that it is with others and not to others" as people usually throw out commands and their thoughts without really listening to the other person/people.

Ger class F

I totally agree with this quote because even though they might not tell you how they feel, but, facial expression never lies. Communications are key to understand people, things can be easily express when people speak out their minds. But there are people who won't or don't know how to talk out their feeling, that's why it is important to be observant.

Earth English 11 Block F

10/30/2020 04:10:58 am

I agree with this quote. This is simply because sometimes there are things we feel uncomfortable sharing or sometimes it is too difficult to be out into words. However, if you take a good look in that person's actions, we might find that they might be acting in a certain way that will really show what that person is actually thinking. Take me for an instance, sometimes when I am in pain, I will always pretend that I am fine. Only because I don't want to worry other people. However, my mother will always recognize that I am in pain because she can see through my emotions.

I partially agree with you. It is true that sometimes words can't be used to express our feelings. But again, there are also times where actions or behaviors won't work and fails to let the other person understand. Therefore, it is also important for people to understand that certain language communications must also be made to share feelings with other people.

Rei Eng12 BLK E

10/30/2020 04:53:54 am

I can really relate to this quote, since I'm typically not a person to thrive for attention, and so I make action that doesn't appeal toward others. I feel like most people who prefer not to be in the spotlight within groups of people are kind and heart-warming, but they just aren't as appreciated as people who intentionally show their actions to others. Many aren't secure enough to say what they want to the desired person, and so observing their smallest of actions may be a great way to appreciate the little things.

SaoLong

Aom ( English 11 Block H)

I totally agree with the quote because majority of the people are scared to show their feeling or thoughts. They might think that showing it out might hurt the other sides feeling. Instead, we should communicate. No matter how hard it is to express feelings and thoughts it is still better than keeping it and showing off by actions.

SaoLong Block E

10/30/2020 05:23:24 am

I really resonate with this quote because it is what I always see. People, despite being social animals, have things that they rather not say. Not saying doesn't mean they really don't think about it. This means people could subconsciously act out things that they think about but still not reveal what it is. A good body reader could sound like someone who can read people's mind.

Rei Eng 12 BLK E

10/30/2020 06:26:50 am

Indeed, a good body reader can definitely make accurate predictions on how a certain people think. These people has splendid observing skills to minimize the options that people make to choose the more accurate and precise predictions.

Sally (AP Research Block A)

10/30/2020 07:10:40 am

Some people believe that actions speak louder than words. I definitely agree with this idea, but it is not always the case. There are situations where you do something contradicting your words; where you cannot always explain the reason, you're unable to act based on your emotions, but you did it anyway. Actions speak louder than words when they are promises, they are things that are more definite, and would rarely be altered. However, if you rely solely on observing people's actions, there will be things you overlook since not everyone is willing to display their intentions.

Birdy 12E

10/30/2020 10:45:08 am

Well, I think there's always many sides of the story of should I say life, People will judge you by your worst days. Albeit, actions will always show you the truth if not now, then it will then run it's courses. Plus, I also believe that people these days aren't very fulfilling their promises as to their lack of action towards their promise. Therefore, actions do indeed play a much bigger part that cannot be overlooked.

Michelle (AP Research Block A)

10/30/2020 11:17:59 am

I completely agree with you. Sometimes, communication is not enough to build relationships with people. Like you mentioned, certain things like promises cannot be made by only words, but also actual behaviors. It is really important for people to understand that language communication and body communication come together as one for a strong relationship to form. Otherwise, if only words are made with no action, you may become untrusted by others.

Nick (English Block E)

10/30/2020 07:26:55 am

I agree to this quote, because most people don't want to hurt other people. So what we do is to show them how we feel in another way. Since there are some words we can't say to them in person, so we show them by action.

Cho-Ching

10/30/2020 07:36:22 am

This quote is agreeable because people don't really want to show people how they feel. Human natural instinct is to hide their weakness and only show their strong point. However, If we pay close attention to them, their action could tell us about what they feeling. For example, if you hate someone, you wouldn't not say it out loud, but you would try to avoid them as much as possible.

It is true that "people may not always tell you how they fee," but, I disagree with the part: "they will always show you." This is because saying the truth every time may get an individual in trouble, or bring the individual an undesirable outcome. Additionally, an individual's true emotions and true feelings will not be known to others. Therefore, I partly agree to this quote since an individual does not necessarily show their true feelings

Janice (AP Lang, Block D)

Actions do speak louder than words, but sometimes actions cannot express what words can and vice versa. In many times we also hide our actions will also be hidden from one another for a variety of reasons, so actions may not show what people think all the time.

So we need to take time to communicate with others. It will help us have a better understanding of others. In addition, pay attention to hear and give encouragement during the communication will be a good support to others.

Sometimes being completely honest is not the best choice, and sometimes communicating will hurt and pressure others. Communicating is our way to transfer our thoughts and opinions to other, so what is the point of hiding all of our emotions. of course sometimes it is great to restrain yourself but if we are talking about communication honest communication is the best communication.

10/30/2020 09:19:12 am

I agree with this quote, and personally believe that actions speak louder than words. For instance, a person's words, such as promises, can be deemed useless if they do not follow through. Words can be filtered and don't always show a person's true intent. But if we pay close enough attention, a person's inactions and actions can reveal how they feel, their thoughts, their motives, and so on. We have to know how to read people, but this can sometimes lead to misassumptions. Everyone has different ways of expression, but it is never wrong to wonder whether or not someone is genuine and has your best interest in mind.

Mint AP Lang D

10/30/2020 10:58:45 am

Yes, I agree with Faith that actions speak louder than words. Also, people would only speak out the words that they want you to hear, usually not their actual feeling. You have to pay close attention to a person's action because it will reveal how they actually feel.

10/30/2020 09:49:34 am

Most people would feel uncomfortable to tell how they feel, so they would show it through their actions. Many people have trouble expressing their emotions. Some people might think that expressing your emotions through actions are much more trustable. However, for someone that doesn't pay attention like me would be a problem, I prefer telling how you actually feel. Telling me straightforwardly is clearer. For example, if someone likes me, I would not know until they told me, even though how they act are very clear, I will think they are just being friendly with me. But I do agree with how actions are more trustable because actions could prove who someone really is while words only show what someone wants to be.

Gun

To me, the way that represents how much they care about us is through communication. I believed that great communication is composed of active listeners and active speaker. Having a conversation that is straight forward and to the point is considered as a good conversation. Having different or unique thoughts opens up a person mind set into another way which might effect themselves. I believed that true friend will have the confident to comment negative things on you, it is not because they don't like you.

I agree that when for first impressions, body language is important but a true friend would make body language unnecessary for communication. I also agree that a good conversation would be one wear body language isn't needed to communicate

I agree to the quote "action never lie" I think that every action that you did. It tell about you like the way you speak, work, play, and act. It will tell you who you actually are. If you tell other that you really good at math but your math score is very bad. When other see your score then they will say that it a lie and you will look bad in other eyes. If you just tell the truth and let other help you, I think that is a better idea to solve the problem. Everyone have different talent that you can do or perform. Someone that does not learn so good in school doesn't mean you will bad at everything it just that you not good at one thing, but for music you might be better than everyone. So the action never lie about you. Don't lie to yourself and try to be honest to yourself. Try to act like who you are.

I agree with this statement because everything about is is true. For most of things in life communication is key, and if you want to succeed you have to be a good communicate. Sometimes people will not directly communicate with you, and that is why there is many forms of communication. In many cases you have to be great at reading someone even when they are not talking to you because understanding someone is part of being a communicater.

After reading this quote, especially the first sentence, communication, in other words, is a relationship, a friendship, a connection between two people. Everything between these two people is all done "together" and it is what keeps their relationship strong. Thus, I really agree with this quote because at the end, it says that "the most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said...to each other". Sometimes things aren't being said due to some difficult circumstances, however, by working things out together, seeing and hearing the actual meaning to what the opposite side is trying to says keeps it strong. To add on, the pause in that sentence to specify the "to each other" and not to others brings out how a relationship between two people is only worked by doing things together to each other, and that's all it matters.

I totally agree with what you had to say because it is important for people to talk to each other because if not then two people will have different opinions on each other when they could've just talked it out.

After having a good thought upon this given quote, as it had mentioned about show not tell. I can relate to this in many times in my life, especially on my worse days, people if not all, then the society will judge you. Those people will never tell It through words verbally or face to face but they their actions slowly reveal what they truly think.Bearing the fact, that gossips and talking behind the back has become the norm for human and the society, even when expressing their emotions through facial appearance can most of the time be hiding. As for this, I strongly agree that action speaks more for itself than words, in order to genuinely understand people, we can understand them per their actions.

After reading the quote, everything stated above is true. I agree that communication is the main key of relationship between people. Also, I agree that most people may not always tell you how they feel about you because they might not feel comfortable. However, the things that make it obvious is their action. People can say what you what to hear but their action would be what they truly feels.

I don't like people using absolutes like everything, since there are certainly times where this quote doesn't apply. However, i do agree that the unaware would probably show much more things with their body than with their words.

From my perspective, I see communication as an essential tool for people to use to build relationships and "share" ideas with each other. I partially agree with the text, communication is not about one person, it is about two or more people. Everyone in the community must be willing to talk and build bridges with each other so that a real "communication" can be made. It is important that people learn to express their feelings through words so that other people can understand. While some people may not use words to express their feelings to others and failed communicating, they show certain behaviors; and this is the reason why not only do we need to build strong communication, but also learn to observe and pay attention to others.

From my perspective, I strongly agree with this quote because it can relate to my current status. I consider myself as a shy person when it comes to confronting or talking to a girl. When I couldn’t spread my love and affection towards a cute girl that I'm fond of by saying words, I would just do it by actions (lol). For instance, I would instantly come up with a funny joke that can be related to her; however, instead of using it on her, I would use it on a friend so that she can recognize it. lol.

I agree that the action will never end. In life, you can always tell how you feel under certain circumstances. However, you can still communicate and express your feelings through your actions.

Ning (English 11, Block B)

I agree with this quote because actions speak louder than words. We can sense when someone is annoyed by us or happy to be around us. When we pay attention to these small details, we can predict how others are feeling and be able to take control of the mood that is created. Us humans will always be able to tell what mood is going on between each other. The more we pay attention the more we are able to understand one another.

I love that you mentioned "actions speak louder than words". It basically sums up everything the quote is try to say. Sometimes people act different from what they say. However, their actions always tell what they're trying to express out.

I strongly agree to the quote. When a guy is mad, he doesn't scold you but ignore you or try to frame you in to troubles. That is human being. He pretends he's not angry however his actions show that he's being irritated, which the quote says "but they always show you." Therefore the quote is correct and we should know this quote.

Hi, I totally agree with what you said. I like the fact that you included that when a person gets mad, instead of scolding you, they will ignore you. From what I've seen from everyone, that's just what normal human beings do.

I agree with you since there are many situations where I have seen people trying to hide their feelings. I also agree with you how we should always try to keep this quote in mind to use in real-life. We should focus more on people's actions instead of words as they are harder to hide.

Lemoey Robinson 7B

I totally agree with you because guys do try to ignore when they're mad and you'll never know that they're mad but their actions will show that something is wrong with them.

I strongly agree with this quote. Even though, I, personally, would just go straight up to a person and tell them what they are doing that's bothering me. However, majority of people will most likely keep it to theirselves or tell a friend of them. On the contrary, if you pay attention to what they do, you can see their true feelings. For instance, when a person don't like you, they would try to stay as far from you as possible. When a person likes you, they will try to approach you no matter what the situation is.

I agree with this quotes on how people will not tell how they feel about you but will show in the form of action because most of the time people are scared of the consequences and doesn't want to make it a big deal but sometime facing with the problem is a best solution

Kim-Hun (AP Research Block A)

Yes, I absolutely agree. It's the same idea I had. It applies to me as a person too. Communicating by gestures and physical methods of expressions are a lot less in our control than speaking. It's quite natural for a human to function that way.

Janice (AP Lang, Block D)

I agree with the quote, I believe that many people don't say how they feel because they like to keep their emotions in. But if you really cared about someone you will be able to tell how they feel by their actions. For example is someone was sad about their test score, they wouldn't say it out loud, but they may cry on put their head down on a table, which shows their emotions.

T (AP Lang, Block D)

According to the quote, people tend to show their feelings through their actions instead of words. I completely comply to this as I have experienced it first hand. I would say that one of the feelings where this would happen is when we encounter hatred or grief. For example we might not want to speak because we feel annoyed, but our actions would show that something is at least wrong. Lastly, consider judging people through their actions instead of words, we won't be able to hide our feelings from our actions.

Kim-Hun (AP Research BLOCK A)

Actions has always, and will always be more impactful than words. Words are selective. People have more control of what they say. On the other hand, actions are harder to control. People don't think as much as they do when they act compared to when they talk.

Pro (English Block H)

1/21/2021 11:00:02 pm

I think that while this quote applies most of the time, the fact that it uses the word "always" makes the quote false. There are literally occupations that require you to not show your true feelings. if humans are aware of what they are feeling, they can easily hide their body language.

people not might always say what they think about you but at the end of the day they will do something so you will be able to know either a face or just the way they act around you ,you will be able to see how they feel about you and your actions just by the way they act or facial expressions even they way they talk

I agree with this quote because it is true that weak communications don't get you anywhere. It's better to communicate so that both you and the other person are on the same page. Good communication keeps arguments from happening.
