1. ______
Telephone, television, radio, and the telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in nhật bản or Argentina. An international soccer match comes into the trang chính of everyone with a television phối. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way.
2. ______
How has tốc độ of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of
course, this does not mean that the world is physically smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to tát cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to tát reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle in the war of 1812 between the English and the United States armies could have been avoided if the warring sides had known that a peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to tát reach America. During those six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought and many lives were lost.
3. ______
An important part of the history of the world is the history of communication. In prehistoric times, people had limited knowledge of the world. They had little information about geography, the study of the Earth. People knew very little beyond their small groups except what was happening near their homes. Later, people were organized into villages, and verbal communication between small towns was possible. Still, the people’s knowledge was limited because they had no outside information. Kingdoms and small countries then developed, with a king directing the people. Cities developed, too, but still communication was limited to tát the small geographical area of the country. Much later in history, after the invention of the printing press, many more people learned to tát read, and communication was improved.
4. ______
In this modern age, communication is so sánh fast that it is almost instant. People's lives have been changed
because of the immediate spread of news. Sometimes the tốc độ is so sánh great that it does not allow people time to tát think. For example, leaders of countries have only minutes, or, at most, hours to tát consider all the parts of a problem. They are expected to tát answer immediately. Once they had days and weeks to tát think before making decisions.
5. ______
The tốc độ of communication demands a new responsibility from all people of the world. People in different countries must try harder to tát understand each other. An example is that people with different religions must try to tát understand each other's beliefs and values, even if they vì thế not accept them. Sometimes their cultures are quite different. What one group considers a normal part of life is strange to tát another culture. In some cases, a normal part of one culture might be bad or impolite to tát people of another culture. That kind of difference is a possible basis for misunderstanding. People must learn not to tát judge others, but to tát accept them as they are. As the world grows smaller, people must learn to tát talk to tát each other more effectively as well as communicate more rapidly.
