How to avoid misscommunication
1. passive hearing and active listening are not the same
2. listen with your eyes, ears, and guts
3.take time to understand as you try to be understood
4. be aware of your own perceptional filters
thank you
OOP
Perceptional filters? Explain
Good
thank you brother
Let's see if anyone misunderstands the meaning of this video. After all, they weren't able to provide feedback as the video was being developed.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky U wat m8? U wanna fight me? I'll reck u!
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky There will always be people misunderstanding, even if they could have provided a lot of feedback. Anyone includes the 1-2% of the human population who are blessed with really interesting illnesses, even. Enough of a tangential approach will do the trick. ;)
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky thank u, i forget my cow today.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky I like these vids, but the graphics are distracting and unnecessary. Plus, i think they could put out more often, if they put less time into the animation. just saying...
I didn't know you watched these :)
Whoever did the ADR and animations on this video is the real MVP. These little characters are hilarious.
I think about this every day. I like to believe I have great understanding and communication skills to make sure what is being said is understood and spoken as clear as possible. I also do not let my biases get in the way of objectivity.
I think it's also important to define our terms while we are talking about a certain subject to avoid miscommunication. If you talk and debate with a friend about freedom, you have a certain opinion about it and your friend have a different one, but you never seem to get along or to understand what the other means, the good questions to ask may be: what does freedom means to you? Do we have the same definition of it? Most of the time, our personal definitions may differ a bit, but it's enough to completely misunderstand the other. Defining words in the beginning of a conversation can save lots of time debating for nothing!
The animations on this video, plus the FX, are so great! I loved it!
that is why, silence is golden...
avoid unnecessary talking...
Well said
I have seen this video many times and still have issues communicating with people.
If silence is _gold,_
then knowing what to say and when to say it to a certain person is _platinum._
Introvert is golden
...and play while someone is talking to you, right?
Most of the video portrays how we miscommunicate than how we stop doing so. I don't think this will solve the usual miscommunications that is inevitable in our daily lives, sometimes even listening with the "gut" may lead to "overthinking/misinterpretation". But I thumbed up for the adorable animation (the characters inside are really lovely)!
In a world bustling with voices and noise, the art of truly listening has become rare. Many of us listen but fail to genuinely hear, leading to widespread miscommunication. This barrier significantly hinders our collective ability to live in harmony. To bridge the gaps between us and foster understanding, it is essential to learn not just to listen, but to hear- to truly comprehend and appreciate others' perspectives. This lesson is vital for fostering a more connected and empathetic world.
Thank you for the video.
I love this! So concise, yet informative. And the animations do a phenomenal job of exemplifying what the voice over is saying in a simple, complementary way! I love these videos. Thank you for the informative content!
Agreed.
this is such a timely reminder, esp. the last point on perspectives. thank u!
Best way to avoid miscommunication is to speak with precision and clarity to people capable of comprehension.
The sound effects and art style in this video is so funny xD
Lol
Communication plays a critical role in business. That is why as much as in a business setting mitigating causes of miscommunication is a must because it could have a fatal blow especially if it is a decision to be executed for the company.
Honestly, sometimes i think this channel understands me more than i understand myself.
I love your videos. You explain the stuff so well
Good to reflect my own communication style. And it's the opportunity to be aware of my personal perceptional filters. Do not assume from your own perception and take time to understand as you try to be understood.
One of the best lessons by Ted-Ed.
Yep, gold mine right here. TED-Ed is such a great resource.
We can see this world around us and other people just through own mind. "Everyone see only self". But when we try to overcome our aloofness we can reduce misunderstandings!
Very nicely interpreted ,explained and presented! Found it helpful
Wow, thank you so much, the example worths millions of words👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the narrator! Everytime I click on a TedEd video, I also hope to hear his voice. And when I do, I can't help but smile:)
Very informative, actually misunderstanding can cause lot's of problem and not just problems but things that could have been a solution to things that we had always dreamt of or wished for.. so I have found it to be useful to say to people things like, I respectfully disagree or I respectfully decline this offer... that way they dont feel humilliated but at the same time you dont mess up the relationship,, bussiness partner or even a stranger.. I suppose not everybody would see that anyways , and that is understandable ..if that became the case.. it's best to just walk away from it or them
This was informative and easy to understand! Appreciated the animations explained the content, also liked the symbolisms and tips. They were very helpful! :)
This channel and Crash course channel are the best channel to learn many things for free. Love this age we live in, which is Information Age.
I found the video very educational and it really explained properly how miscommunication happens as well as the animation portrayed in the video was explicit.
This is really insightful, thank you so much! ❤
That last point is helpful to me. Thank you!
The message communicated by this video is extremely simplistic and leaves out something very important in this day and age: (and even when it was posted 7 years ago) Online media literacy. Is it MAYBE possible that SOME of this post Covid polarization has something to do with the fact that it's all done online? So it's not just "beyond words" but beyond the platform, and you know almost nobody is going to ever meet in person to straighten anything out. Of course, the tendency to pay attention to ones own side and not seriously consider the perspective of the other to any significant extent doesn't help, neither do psychological/psychiatric issues either known or unknown/ignored/not understood. All these people convinced they know who the enemy is and some joe schmoe rando online is another one of them would be comical if it wasn't so sad and causing a ton of chaos in the world. This even happens to people who know each other in person, but the fact the problematic communications happen online is completely ignored and it's all about the person, and they never learn a single thing about the dynamics of the communication. Personal blame rather than exploring what went wrong in the process, always.
This is such a good explanation man the example of stone and clay was wonderful helping people understand it
Whoever was behind the graphics and animation, kudos!!!
There couldn't be a better channel than this.
Thank you for the information. This improves my communication.
Gorgeous graphic design. Kudos to Andrew Foerster.
it makes a lot of sense and it has been very helpful
Words to live by for Everyone. Thank you.
For my uni work- very insightful and will use this in nursing practice
Sweet! With this I’ll be involved in less miscommunications and people that I communicate with better understand me the first time around.
There's a game my husband and I like to play between us. It's called "twist my words in the worst possible way". Honestly, it's amazing how easy it is to turn one thing (even if it's a direct statement) into something completely opposite.
P. S. We never take the twisted meanings seriously. This is not a way to turn arguments and it's a dirty trick that shouldn't be used by anyone. Ask questions before assuming is a golden rule.
Superb work on this material. It's reminiscent of a book I read that fundamentally changed me. "The Art of Saying No: Mastering Boundaries for a Fulfilling Life" by Samuel Dawn
Thank you for the clay metaphor, i really liked it. Also, awesome animation!
Awesome ..... understood
Every one in the world needs to learn this lesson. Miscommunication is the thing that hinders our ability to coexist. Back here in my country India many people need to learn this to understand each others' perspectives.If every body does so I think that religious hatred can be minimized.
absolutely... trying to be in the other persons shoes and the percieving the situation is the best way to avoid miscommunication.
Navnoor Singh I agree if everyone cared to listen we would live such a better life
This happens a lot in discussions of TED videos.
*+Lorie Franceschi* Oh yeah!? So you think you're better than everyone else, huh? Racist!
+Adrian Ya! lower than a earthworm is what you are! hahahahahaha good one
+Lorie Franceschi you fat bitch get outta here.
(Joking)
You're all a bunch of soggy oreos that were left in the milk for too long! (not joking)

Amazing message with incredible animation
Can u please tell me how does miscomunication happen
The animated illustrations are amazing 😍
Thank you so much ❤
Awesome animations! I chuckled a lot :)
perfect analogy!
LOL! The joke at the end is a classic.
"I see" said the blind man, who picked up his hammer and saw.
Where?
Masterfully said
I feel as if I am the only one who has actually gained useful knowledge from this video, for I have absolutely no skills in understanding others or sharing my thoughts to others trough words.
great lesson!
amazing as always!!
nice,brief introduction to communication models and basic theories
I imagine communication as devices. Each person has a different receiver of words. And as we throw out our words, each person process them differently
There is still no set curriculum for teaching English in the US nevermind other languages. Most younger people are apparently taught that definitions of words are up for interpretation. This only helps compound problems and perpetuates miscommunication among peers with comparable levels of education. Education is important here. Most people will obtain a more complete understanding of their language through educational means. This usually is through schools, but home schooling can be just as effective as long as an individual understands the fundamentals of their language they can shape a more complete knowledge of their language through accurate reading material, demonstrations of words and phrases used in sentences and interactions with other individuals who possess similar levels of knowledge in the same language.
The bottom line is if we can't stop interpreting language as a subjective means of communication then we can't possibly hope to quell misinterpretation in routine conversations with others.
One of the problems I have is people will just plain out refuse to look at your point of view. It's really annoying and adds to the rage.
Sorta like the Republicans and religious people do!
i just so love the characters in the film. theyre so cute lol
“I have noticed that nothing I have never said ever did me any harm.” - Calvin Coolidge
This was very helpful in the party of a spokesperson, whether the receiver of the message could get it or not.✌️🤓
Well done!
What we have here, is a failure to communicate
+CTalk I love that movie!
+Khaled Alfaris The weather is great today!
That's from a movie?
I had only heard it in a GnR song.
+CTalk Some men you just can't reach ...
The voice of the people speaking in the background is just too good.
Thank you for the illustration. It is really interesting. I would gladly share this to my Communication students at class. :)
"this is how I see the problem - how do you see it ?" - good - I like that - thanks !
I love how this video is talking about communication and language, but the characters voices are just jumbled sounds XD
잘못된 의사소통을 줄이기 위해 의사소통의 과정에서 일어나는 일에 대한 기본적인 이해를 해보는 의미있는 시간이 되었습니다. 내가 생각한것보다 의사소통이 복잡하다는것을 배웠습니다. 좋은 시간 감사합니다.
Super wise
This is brilliant ! 🤩
Great video !
Very interesting and insightful, actually misunderstanding can cause lot's of troubles and not just troubles but things that could have been an answer to things that we had always dreamt of or wished for. I respectfully disagree with it or decline this offer. They won't feel humiliated this way.
A more fitting title for the video would have been "Why does miscommunication occur?"
Up until 3:18 there's nothing about "How to avoid miscommunication". That leaves only one minute of the video that is about the actual subject, and it's too condensed to actually say anything meaningful and useful.
+Goodguy001
you have just described TH-cam :))
+Goodguy001 Well, in order to prevent miscommunication, you first have to realize why does it even occur in the first place, right?
+RoastedUnicorn Agree!
+RoastedUnicorn what if you where to buy a game with 24 hours content, but it had a tutorial 22 hours long.
+Goodguy001 Why should we avoid miscomunication without understanding what miscomunication is?
I understand 3/4 of the video is not about avoiding it but it is as easy as it was said. Just focus what other person says and you will (look like you) understand other people. That would be another reason why they added such big intro for that topic.
wow that is great, thanks for the video,
I did not just enjoy the video, I also learned a lot!
LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ! Keep up the good work ! :) :) :)
Very helpful tips to avoid miscommunication
I think that conversations via text are even more prone to misunderstanding, thus mostly making the TH-cam comment-section a war zone. Too bad.
Lady Bumta True. I think for text conversations one must master the ability to say the most in the fewest words. This is a huge downside of texts. I never really find myself able to express everything I have to say, especially when the conversation goes into the political, moral or philosophical side.
Lady Bumta Well, really, arguing on youtube comments is useless in general.
+Benjamin Wilde
To pacify this war zone emoticons are invented some time ago. Specifically for lazy folks or people with little writing skills. So some misunderstandings can be attenuated at least.
Yeah
great video!!
There is a wonderful thing that assist with communication called 'dictionary' - there you will learn lots of words (and their respective meanings) that will allow you to say precisely what you want to say -- and you'll find it also much easier to understand those that have their words and meanings confused....
1. Reconocer la diferencia entre la escucha pasiva y activa
2. Escuchar con los ojos, los oídos y también con tu instinto ( la comunicación es más que solo palabras
3. Tomate tiempo para entender mientras los otros intentan comprenderte
4. Se consiente de tu propia subjetividad
no wonder I upset people so easily. I rarely look at them and in general give little feedback
That's the clearest video I've ever watched
There is one big catch with this...... and it's the fact that being understood requires _all_ parties involved. Even if you follow all of these rules it doesn't matter if the person you're speaking to isn't alao following them.
So true. I was thinking the exact same thing!
dayumn, TedEd, you cray
The animation makes it easier to understand
😂 I love the characters. so true & really funny
very very informative
Best video in a while
this phenomena is disecated in Ludwig Wittgenstein's "Tractatus logicus-philosophicus". Worth the read
Lol, that mars probe fiasco segment was the best part of this video XD
The clay analogy was brilliant.
This is so interesting and taught me a lot but hell it did not do any good for my social anxiety.
0:27 No always, the idea might actually be stupid or the concern negligible.
The background noises, while humorous, are quite distracting. Good video though.
The animations were hilarious!!!
This is a good video😊
loved the visuals for this video! awesome ;)
What about the message then :) ! ?
+G Yogaraja i got most of it, even though i'm sure, no matter how hard you try, there will always be miscommunication ;)
great vids TQ so much !! :)
Brilliant
The animation was really funny!
It's one of the greatest frustrations of not being fully understood.
