What Everyone Should Know About the Development of Communication By Maria BoomhowerHave you ever stop to realize just how important communication is to you. Without being able to connect with other people it not only stops you from achieving your goals and desires, it could also threaten your mental and physical health. Yet, many people just leave their communication skills to happenstance and live in a world of misunderstandings, hurt feelings, loss of relationships and business disasters. Quite often they look for outside reasons for challenges or failures. Yet, they can overcome the challenges. History has shown just how vital communication is in order to grow, succeed and to become more than we are. When you look at the development of humankind and of our brains, you can understand the importance. In a study on the development of humankind, it was stated that many versions of humans started out, but due to a variety of reasons, they didn’t survive and became extinct. The last two types stated to survive were the Neanderthals and the Homo sapiens. There has been much debate as to whether they were two subsets of one species or two distinct species. The one thing agreed upon was that other than the difference in the brow bone and chin that the two were more similar than any other versions and that they both had a larger brain than the previous. They could tell that the Neanderthals could think out problems, as they had created tools and buried their dead. Therefore, they couldn’t understand why they became extinct. A scientist recently discovered one difference between the two. He noticed that when he turned the skull upside down and looked at the base of the brain area that the Neanderthals had a flat base, where as Homo sapiens have a bulge downward. This effects where are larynx is located. The Neanderthal's would be higher up and unable to make many of the sounds that Homo sapiens do. They wouldn’t be able to make the vowel sounds. In other words, they weren’t able to communicate and connect with others on a higher level in the same manner as Homo sapiens. It is believed that this inability to communicate as well is what eventually lead to their extinction. The conclusion was that intelligence on its own, is not a guarantee to be able to succeed in life. Your ability to communicate well, and connect with others will enable you to survive and excel business and life. All the knowledge in the world won't help if you can't releate or explain any of it to others. However, our communication abilities don’t end there. Much of our primary motor cortex in out brain is related to communication. In other words, a big chuck of our higher advanced brain in the motor cortex, was designed to enable us to communicate more efficiently. This relates to our hands, face tongue and larynx. When we communicate, our message that we give has more meaning than just the words. Our message is sent in part by body language, tone and emphasis. Body language includes, use of our hands and facial expressions as well as our stance and posturing. Our tongue and larynx give tone, pitch and emphasis. It is these fine details that has enabled us to more clearly define our motives, beliefs, understanding, intentions and desires that we want. It has enabled us to advance in ways that we would never have been able to without our ability to communicate our thoughts, feeling and ideas.

Today, the World is a Better Place - I have never in my life felt so relieved and so inspired by the results of an election as I am by the selection of Barack Obama as the next President of the United States. Today, the world is a better place. An offense involves fighting hard enough to secure a goal and remove obstacles to that goal. A defense involves expending just enough energy to ward off an attack or prevent injury. When Passive-Aggression isn?t Very Passive - Often when someone says that another person is being “passive-aggressive,” they really mean something else. Let’s clarify just what passive-aggression is — and what it isn’t — with the help of a framework for understanding human aggression in general. Acting Up is Not ?Acting-Out? - True "acting-out" is an outward manifestation of an emotional conflict that can't be consciously recognized by an individual. Acting-up is NOT acting-out. Understanding Denial as a Defense Mechanism - For neurotics, behavior such as denial is an unconscious defense mechanism that protects against the experience of unbearable pain. With disordered characters, what we commonly perceive as unconscious defenses (e.g., denial) are more often deliberate tactics of impression-management, manipulation, and responsibility-avoidance. What is a Character Disorder? - Personality and character disorders are not the same thing. Our personality defines the stylistic way we tend to interact, while our character is defined by the level of social conscientiousness and virtue in our personality. When personality or character traits present major obstacles to functioning in a healthy way, they might constitute a disorder. 1000 Questions for ?Ask the Psychologist? - Nineteen months and countless hours later, our Ask the Psychologist service today publishes Dr Carver's reply to the 1000th question answered since the service launched in May 2007. Almost all the principles of traditional psychology are based upon the attempts of various theorists to explain a phenomenon rare for its time and almost totally unheard of in modern times. Character disturbance — not neurosis — is the pressing psychological reality of our day and simply can't be understood or dealt with using traditional paradigms. Someone in Your Life Probably Has a Personality Disorder - It might be your spouse, your parent, your co-worker...even your child. Chances are, someone with a significant role in your life has a personality disorder. Dr Carver’s new guide to personality disorders in relationships puts the reality in plain English; more than just a list of diagnostic criteria, this explanation describes what it’s really like and offers tips for victims. Positive Affirmations for Breakfast? - The "Motiwake Personal Development Alarm Clock" awakens you with positive affirmations to programme you for the day. Many people use their own "Demotiwake Personal Alarm Clocks" instead. Isn't it a better idea just to drop the programmes and relax?
