Each communication is different.

The World War 1 started right out after the assassination of The Austria Prince. Before it started, there were many conflicts between these countries. It was ended on 29 Sept 1918. Four long years.

The World war 2 followed up soon.It started on 1 September 1939. Reason? Conquering each other and compare who has the highest power. Also, not to mention,Hitler himself does not want to give up of his hopes: Conquering countries and abolishing democracy by introducing communism. It ended with the Nagasaki and Hiroshima incident.

The 911 attack. Because of the terrorists attack on the twin tower of World Trade Center in New York City, America attack their country.

What causes these?

Each communication is different. If it is all the same, then what is so special with communication? What is so special about relationships then? The way we communicate are associated with our own behaviour and habits. Hence, we communicate differently. People may take certain hobbies such as collecting insects in a jar (E.g. Grissom in CSI :Las Vegas) but it is absolutely normal, because it is the way they are. It goes the same as family. We do no need to show our love by saying "I love you" or some other actions. We always show our love to our own family by criticizing each other indirectly. For example, my sister and I are in a clothing shop, and i am buying clothes for my presentation. She will never say "It looks good on you." or "You should get this!". Instead, she will say "You are FAT! You have to slim down!". Indirect compliment.


It depends on how we look at each communication. If a person is biased, hence they only think what they think is right; not listening to opinions and facts. That is when misunderstandings play a role in this. They only judge based of what they knew, and not what they are supposed to know. It is their own thoughts and attitude that “poisons” the communication. We have our own ideas and these ideas normally do not match with other people. Critics, they call it. They have to work hard to overcome misunderstandings.

We normally find difficulty confronting problems with foreigners who speaks a total different language besides english and our own country language. We can always try to "blend in" but not offend them. Respect is the key. Never forget that.

As conclusion, each communication comes in different way. When we confront a misunderstanding, we have to see the problem clearly without other factors affecting communication.

What started the war?

Imagine world without war.
