Supposed you saw a person with special need(PWD), that is walking in the street. What would you feel if you are to see them personally? Some of you might judge or pity them just by looking at them physically.
However, PWD have much more stronger mentality than any other, they usually think that their lives are quite worth living, and strongly wish to have discriminatory implements removed so they can live those lives as well as possible (Young, 1997).
The reason behind those judgment is because of what we basically see in a person, purely on their appearance, then; A judgment is easily formed.
Is the relationship among subjects supported by Genuine Communication founded on mutual respect for each other as subject and on co-presence. Co-presence- is the openness of once presence of the other presence In philosophical terms co-presence is “to be with” INTERSUBJECTIVITY
I ntersubjectivity is the kind of relationship which considered a subject-to-subject or person-to-person way of relating. “ Intersubjectivity ” in which “I” and the “others” are seen more as complementary to each other rather than just simply a means to some selfish ends. INTERSUBJECTIVITY
Genuine communication only happens when we realize that we will never be able to know the other person completely. One will open their selves to the possibility that they will learn something different from others. GENUINE COMMUNICATION
Genuine understanding begins with the silence that is essential to listening . We cannot really hear what the other is saying unless we hold our tongue and tame our tendency to speak to them. GENUINE COMMUNICATION
To many of us the act of listening seems to be an easy matter. Genuine listening, however, entails great effort. Here are some of the things we should avoid saying if we want people to truly open up to us (Faber and Mazlish , 1980) Do not say that their feelings are invalid. Do not give advice if they are not asking for any.
Do not philosophize about their situation as if you are above them and you truly know what was happened . Don’t say “I know what you feel ” Do not say “If I were you…,” unless they asked you what you do if you were in their shoes.
