If you need to discuss upsetting orcontroversial problems with others, you will use e-mail or text messaging, ORuse the telephone or voice-messaging.
As to the topic that which way we use todiscuss upsetting or controversial problems with others, it is easy to imagethat people with different backgrounds and perspectives will judge it at theirown angles. Some people assert that they will use e-mail or text messaging,since these ways can help them clear their head and clam down. On the contrary,others believe it is better to use the telephone or voice-message, so that theycan save some time. In my own part, I would like to vote for the latter opinionfor the following reasons.
To begin with, so precise is time that weshould not waste it, and using telephone and voice-messaging is a moreefficient way to discuss upsetting or controversial problems. Telephone andvoice-message is not only a proper way to express our opinions and ideas, butalso a good way to listen to others, more directly, especially for upsettingand controversial problems. Only in this way can we express our ideas andfeelings without ambiguities. These stuffs all result in saving time. On theother hand, it is apparent that speaking words uses much less time than typing,moreover usually we cannot check our email in time. To illustrate how usingtelephone and voice-massage saves time, there is an appropriate example that isvery persuasive. Once our group had a work that members held contradictoryopinions about the topic. We had no result by writing e-mail to discuss, inaddition it took us about a week because some of us often ignored or forgot tocheck the e-mail. Whereas, we finally solved the problem by voice-message justin half an hour. So why not use the telephone and voice-massage to solveproblems?
Another equally important reason is that usingtelephone and voice-massage provides us a more interactive way to come up withnew idea to solve the problem. In daily life, you must have some experiencesthat a controversial problem is solved by interactive discussion. Everyone expressesown opinion and discusses with each other, and your idea may stimulates others to provide a better one.Finally, you get a wonderful idea to solve the problem, which contains allendeavors from everyone here. It is called brainstorm, which needs interactive discussionsas many as possible within a short time. Only by telephone or voice-message canwe use this strategy. And it is obvious that less interaction is in usingemail, so that it is harder to come up with new idea in a short time.
To some extent, we have to admit thatsometimes using email can help us clam down and to express our opinions morelogically. However, in my opinion, it is not a good way to solve some upsettingor controversial problems.
In a nutshell, I reinforce my standpoint thatwe should use telephone and voice-message to solve upsetting and controversialproblems, for saving time and getting new idea more efficiently. |
