Communication 10/1

There was a series of lectures that touched on how society communicates among one another. We explained how communication becomes a mode of social construct. This is evident by the way we are born into the world and only being able to mumble "ooo's" and "ahh's" It is not until the infant begins to actually absorb by hearing the sounds around him/her that he/she begins to mimic the language. That is why a young child has no problem learning a foreign language.

We humans are also adept to making various tools that makes our day-to-day lives more simple. As the years and centuries moved on, humans have become quiet lazy in the way of doing things. Since we graduated from an agrarian society to the system we are in now, which I would call "manufactualism", we have grown accustomed to being in one place to do many things. We even take for granted whenever we go to the bathroom and flush the toilet. Not long ago, there were no indoor plumbing; yet many of us will refuse to urinate and let alone defecate in any other location but a clean restroom.

Just comes to show us of how much humans has evolved in the little time that we have been on this planet.
