    Since March of last year, we have been following the news very closely, especially related to COVID 19.\u00a0Initially, it was about the spread of the coronavirus in China and it beginning to spread to other countries.\u00a0This was followed by an increasing number of infections and people who suffered or died because of COVID.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The words like pandemic, social distancing, and lockdown, which were never heard of became common in every house.\u00a0During the last quarter of 2020 good news about the vaccine was heard but people were not sure whether it will work or not.\u00a0Finally, in the first week of December, sitting at home I heard the best International news on WION Channel. The news was about the vaccine, in fact, now we have various vaccines that are approved for common use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    It was a big relief as once everyone gets vaccinated, I can resume a normal life, go to work, and meet my friends and relatives.\u00a0This news affects not only me but everyone around the globe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I now feel I do not have to worry about the safety of my parents and grandparents and it will not be long before normalcy would return.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Follow Ups<\/span><\/h3>\n

    1<\/strong>. Do people communicate more when they talk face to face?<\/span>
    I think yes. People do communicate more when they face to face. It easier and much less time <\/span>consuming to have a verbal conversation than a written one. Thus, conversation do tend to stretch <\/span>out when talking face to face.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2<\/strong>.What do young people have conversations about?<\/span>
    Young people have conversations about different topics like sports, movies, celebrities, fashion, <\/span>technology, business and education opportunities. Personally, I love talking about cricket and the <\/span>latest technological gadgets with my friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3<\/strong>. Do people converse more or less than the past?<\/span>
    I think today we are busier than the past. So, we have less time for conversations. Also, our hobbies <\/span>have changed from social to individual and thus, in effect, we have less opportunities for <\/span>conversations. For example, today we stream TV shows on OTT platforms like Netflix alone instead <\/span>of watching TV together with family.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4<\/strong>. Do you think we need to be good at communication at the workplace?<\/span>
    Yes, I think it is absolutely necessary to communicate clearly at the workplace. If people don\u2019t get <\/span>their message across clearly, it can lead confusions and misunderstanding and it can lead to big losses <\/span>for the companies. Also, communication is very important so that employees have good relationships <\/span>with each other.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
