Claim Statement

Page 4: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Claim Statement

Computer-mediated communication has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication.

Page 5: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Definitions

Page 6: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

DefinitionsWhat is Computer Mediated Communication? (CMC)

• Any form of communication using computers and computer networks

e.g. e-mail, electronic conferences, web chats

• Allows access and interaction between people and databases all over the world

Page 7: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

DefinitionsWhat is Face-to-Face Communication?

• Any form of communication allowing both sender and receiver to communicate in a timely manner

• The receiver may disagree, ask a question, or repeat information.

Page 8: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

DefinitionsWhat is Effective Communication?

• Key elements of Effective Communication: 1) Message sent = message receivedDevelop a common understanding of the message from both sender’s & receiver’s perspectives

2) Communicator’s objectives metWhat the sender hopes to achieve, must be achieved

3) Ethical & RightDoes not restrict choices available to listener or use false information

Introduction

Page 10: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• Debatable issue for years • Rise of Internet and advancements in technology

no. of cyber users each day

Computer-mediated Communication Vs. Face-to-Face Communication

The lingering question to many of us is:

Has Computer-mediated Communication eroded human’s ability to communicate face-to-face?

Page 11: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Reasons & Evidence

Page 12: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

•  

Supporting Argument #1

• Social Presence TheoryThe more physical contact we have, the greater the “presence”

• In CMC, communicators cannot see others’ non-verbal language such as facial expressions & voice intonations etc. harder to interpret statements and responses

CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 13: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Supporting Argument #1

• Experts say:“In a verbal exchange, the words we use are only 7% effective; while the tone of our voice is 43% effective and non-verbal cues are 50% effective.”

• As CMC lacks non-verbal elements or feedback cues, participants are less able to get to know the person they are conversing with less personal conversation

• no. of people engaged in Cyberspace harder for them to communicate effectively in real life

CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 14: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• In CMC, our imagination gets most activated

• The mind tends to create a visual image of the other person – assigning a particular voice, appearance, expectations to the fantasized character so that it seems more “real”

Supporting Argument #2CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 15: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• CMC is mostly a dialogue between one’s mind & the designed character of imagination

• Stereotypes High tendency to feel disappointed when we finally communicate with the “cyber personas” in real life

• Unrealistic, warped expectations in CMCresulting in less effective face-to-face communication

Supporting Argument #2CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 16: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”

– Oscar Wilde, Poet

• Research indicated that people interact more openly via CMC than in face-to-face communication

Supporting Argument #3CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 17: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• Anonymity in CMC- gives people freedom to step out of their psychological barriers- allows people to reveal their inner emotions & thoughts about things

• no. of people are indulging more in the cyber world Comfortable with disclosing both personal and at times, even

confidential information about themselves

Supporting Argument #3CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 18: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

However in real life…• Degree of accountability • People think that because we are physically present, we have to

take responsibility for our words and actions• This affects the quality of face-to-face communication

Supporting Argument #3CMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication

Page 19: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Possible Counter Arguments

Page 20: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Benefits of Computer-mediated Communication (CMC):• Provides people with a platform to air their views & opinions freely• Increases their confidence to share beliefs without the fear of being

judged too critically

Counter Argument #1

Page 21: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• trend & commodity of CMC in our daily lives Cyber-bullying has become a concern

Rebuttal #1

Page 22: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• CMC makes interactions possible even when we are continents apart

• With CMC, people are also able to communicate when they are unable to interact on physical accounts

Counter Argument #2

Page 23: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Studies indicated that...1) Children spend lesser time in communicating with their

parents

2) They are easily distracted during the process of communication, particularly with the rise of CMC

Resulting in less effective face-to-face communication.

Rebuttal #2

Page 24: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• Through CMC, we are able to first gain basic background information about the people we are meeting in real life

• This helps alleviate any emotional and psychological barrier

• Hence, cyber communication has now proved to be an efficient “ice breaker”!

Counter Argument #3

Page 25: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

• People can always assume pretentious personas through Cyberspace via CMC as long as the communication does not involve both parties to be physically present.

Rebuttal #3

Page 26: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

Conclusion

Page 27: Continual Assessment 1 – Media Literacy

As our analysis indicates that CMC has more cons outweighing its pros, our team is positive that

our claim holds true.

Thus, we should all strongly advocate the use of Face-to-Face Communication as opposed to CMC

as a means of interactions between and amongst people.

ConclusionCMC has resulted in less effective face-to-face communication
