You have got to be really dedicated to the work of development to really pick up on things. It is not a matter of how much you have studied, what matters is how much we can catch up with the differences that lie beneath the upper crust of inequality.
While working for the mobile movie that we were supposed to make as our project, I realized that no matter how much we would want to try and help these people and connect with them, there can never be a perfect connect until and unless both the sides are on an equal footing. So, we either need to bring the other side to our level (which is what we want to do in the long run) or come to their level. It is difficult to do so, but it is the most effective way. It gives the other side a sense of leveling and in turn makes him feel comfortable. The big gap between the sides often leads to the intimidation of the receiver end and hampers proper discourse of information.
Considering we are at the end of our course of development communication, I thought it would be a good idea to blog some random stuff that I have learnt or tried to implement while taking up this class.
