We all communicate using a language. Not everyone speaks the same language, but it is the medium of communication. though if you need translations we have tools now that are easier than having to learn a whole new language such as Babel Fish. In America our language is English. Then you consider the blind people who have to read their books in braille, and the deaf who communicate using sign language. Also language breaks up into different styles, like numbers, because we use those in communication too.
When we discussed measurement it made it easier to remember what we've discussed by linking our topics together. It made our me think that our measurements are like a type of language. In breaking up the Accounting, finance, marketing, and production measurements, it was like breaking up the different kinds of chairs. In Accounting and finance they make communicate with some of the same measurements or their language.
In most all other countries they you a different kind of scale than we do here in America, making the measurement languages different. When you measure something in kilos, you may want to convert it to pounds so that you can understand it better. Converting your numbers/ measurements is like having to translate the languages. In the business world you may speak a different "language" than someone in the educational field.

You are absolutely right when you say business has its own language. Even within business every part of business has its own language. The jargon of marketing differs from that in accounting. In fact, the same word can mean different things in each area of business as well. It is really a phenomenon that with so many interpretations of every word that humans are able to communicate as well as they do.
ReplyDeleteI believe that we have different ways to communicate or read in different majors or business field. I am so curious about the reading way that the blind people and the deaf people have. How they use their touch sense to read the words? However, no matter which way to communicate, we need them to experience the process of measurement. It is very helpful in our lives.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good and accurate blog. You pointed out all the main factors of language that was discussed in class. It's true that we have different types of communication, but it's all in the same educational field. Just different ways to say different points.
