Memahami Sebelum Menafsir

Komunikasi digital telah menjadikan dunia lebih dekat, tetapi tidak semestinya menjadikan manusia lebih mudah memahami satu sama lain.

Teori Komunikasi Berperantaraan Komputer atau Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) menunjukkan bahawa medium komunikasi mempengaruhi jumlah isyarat sosial yang tersedia.

Dimensi budaya Hofstede p**a menjelaskan bahawa manusia membawa nilai dan cara berinteraksi yang berbeza ke dalam ruang digital.

Sementara itu, konsep budaya konteks tinggi dan konteks rendah menerangkan mengapa mesej yang sama boleh mempunyai tafsiran yang berbeza berdasarkan cara sesuatu budaya menyampaikan makna.

Dalam dunia digital, perkataan yang sama boleh membawa emosi yang berbeza kepada penerima yang berbeza.

Bukan semua salah faham berpunca daripada apa yang dikatakan kerana kadangkala, ia berpunca daripada bagaimana mesej itu disampaikan, siapa yang menerimanya dan budaya yang digunakan untuk mentafsirnya.

Justeru, kemahiran komunikasi digital pada masa kini bukan sekadar kebolehan menulis atau menghantar mesej.

Ia memerlukan kesedaran terhadap medium, kepekaan terhadap budaya dan kebijaksanaan untuk memahami bahawa maksud yang kita sampaikan tidak semestinya sama dengan maksud yang diterima oleh orang lain.

Dalam dunia yang semakin tanpa sempadan, memahami budaya mungkin sama pentingnya dengan memahami bahasa.

Membina Komunikasi Digital Yang Lebih Berkesan

Memahami ketiga mekanisme ini iaitu Teori Komunikasi Berperantaraan Komputer (CMC), Dimensi budaya Hofstede dan Konsep budaya konteks tinggi serta konteks rendah adalah sangat penting, khususnya apabila komunikasi digital semakin menjadi sebahagian daripada kehidupan seharian, pendidikan, pekerjaan dan hubungan sosial.

Beberapa pendekatan boleh membantu mengurangkan salah faham antaranya ialah dengan menggunakan bahasa yang lebih jelas.

Apabila kit berkomunikasi melalui teks, kita harus mengelak untuk menggunakan ayat yang terlalu pendek atau mempunyai banyak kemungkinan tafsiran, terutama untuk perkara yang sensitif.

Kedua, kita perlu mempertimbangkan latar budaya penerima kerana cara kita berkomunikasi tidak semestinya sesuai untuk semua orang.

Jika berkomunikasi dengan individu daripada budaya yang berbeza, pertimbangkan tahap formaliti, hubungan sosial dan sensitiviti terhadap hierarki.

Ketiga, kita hendaklah jangan terlalu cepat membuat kesimp**an kerana mesej yang kelihatan kasar tidak semestinya datang daripada niat untuk bersikap kasar.

Begitu juga, mesej yang kabur tidak semestinya menunjukkan bahawa seseorang tidak mempunyai pendirian kerana ketiadaan isyarat sosial bermakna kita perlu lebih berhati-hati dalam membuat andaian.

Seterusnya, kita hendaklah sentiasa menggunakan medium yang sesuai kerana tidak semua perkara sesuai diselesaikan melalui teks.

Perkara yang kompleks, sensitif atau berpotensi menimbulkan konflik mungkin lebih baik dibincangkan melalui panggilan suara atau pertemuan bersemuka.

Semakin tinggi risiko salah tafsir, semakin penting untuk menggunakan medium yang menyediakan lebih banyak isyarat sosial.

Mengapa Salah Faham Digital Mudah Berlaku?

Jika dirumuskan, konflik komunikasi dalam talian bukan semata-mata berpunca daripada pilihan perkataan tetapi ia sebenarnya merupakan hasil interaksi antara medium, psikologi dan budaya.

Medium digital mengehadkan isyarat sosial sehingga menyebabkan keterbatasan tersebut menyebabkan penerima membuat tafsiran sendiri manakala tafsiran p**a dipengaruhi oleh pengalaman, emosi dan jangkaan.

Pada masa yang sama, nilai budaya menentukan apa yang dianggap sebagai sopan, berterus terang, hormat, kritikal, mesra atau tidak sesuai.

Oleh sebab itu, sesuatu mesej tidak mempunyai makna yang benar-benar terpisah daripada konteks kerana makna lahir melalui interaksi antara mesej, medium, pengirim, penerima dan budaya.

Knowledge is Power.

MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY (MIL)
Knowledge is Power.

Part 1. Meaning

UNESCO defines MIL as a set of competencies that empowers citizens to:

1. Access - Find and retrieve:
Understand how to search, find and access information and media content effectively, both online and offline.

2. Evaluate - Analyse critically:
Judge the credibility, accuracy, bias, purpose and value of information, media content, and its provider. This includes detecting misinformation, disinformation, hate speech, and understanding how algorithms work.

3. Create - Produce ethically and responsibly: Create and share information and media content ethically, understanding copyright, privacy, freedom of expression and digital rights.

It merges 3 formerly separate fields:
1. Media Literacy: understanding functions of media, how media messages are produced, how to read them critically
2. Information Literacy: how to find, evaluate, use information
3. Digital/ ICT Literacy- how to use digital platforms for same purpose as above.

UNESCO's MIL Model has 5 Laws and 7 core competencies:

The 5 Laws basically say:
information and media are for public good, every citizen is a creator, and a user of information, no information is neutral, everyone has right to understand it.

The 7 competencies are:
1. Understanding information and media for civic participation
2. Research and information gathering
3. Critical evaluation
4. Creation and production
5. Using MIL for lifelong learning
6. Understanding ethical and safety context
7. Engagement for social change

In short: MIL is not about teaching people to use devices. It's about teaching people to think critically about what they see, hear, and share — so they can't be manip**ated or shouldn’t manip**ate others.

Q. Do you think MIL is necessary to participate in the public sphere?

Research suggests that many autistic people experience emotions just as strongly as anyone else. In fact, some describe feeling emotions so intensely that it becomes difficult to manage or communicate them.

🚫 𝗠𝗬𝗧𝗛: 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

✅ 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀—often just as deeply, and sometimes even more intensely, than their neurotypical peers.

This is one of the most persistent myths about autism.

Because some autistic individuals may have difficulty expressing emotions through facial expressions, body language, eye contact, or spoken words, people may mistakenly assume they don't care or don't have feelings.

But that's simply not true.

Autistic children experience the full range of human emotions:
💚 Love
💚 Joy
💚 Excitement
💚 Sadness
💚 Fear
💚 Frustration
💚 Anxiety
💚 Empathy

The difference is often 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁.

For example, an autistic child may:
• Smile less when they're happy.
• Cry or have a meltdown when they're overwhelmed.
• Show affection in ways that look different from what others expect.
• Need extra time to process and express their feelings.
• Feel emotions so intensely that they struggle to regulate them.

Research suggests that many autistic people experience emotions just as strongly as anyone else. In fact, some describe feeling emotions so intensely that it becomes difficult to manage or communicate them.

As parents, teachers, and caregivers, our role isn't to judge emotions based on outward appearance.

❤️ It's to recognize that 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀.

When we replace assumptions with understanding, we create a world where autistic children feel seen, respected, and accepted for who they are.

📌 Save this post to help challenge this common myth, and share it with someone who may still believe that autistic children don't experience emotions.

This post is for educational and awareness purposes only. It is based on current scientific literature and clinical understanding of autism. Every autistic person is unique, and emotional expression varies from one individual to another. If you have concerns about your child's emotional development or mental well-being, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Change doesn’t start with “someone else” — it starts with us.

Many believe that individual actions don’t matter because industries cause most pollution, but that’s a myth. Yes, large industries produce major emissions, but individual choices shape demand, influence policies, and drive real change. ‼️

When we reduce waste, save energy, and support sustainable products, we push companies and governments toward greener practices. 🌱✨

Change doesn’t start with “someone else” — it starts with us. 😉🌟
