By: Sarita Sok 

A qualitative definition of interpersonal communication includes any interaction between two people, usually face to face. In qualitative definition, interpersonal communication occurs when people treat one another as unique individuals, regardless of the context in which the interaction occurs or the number of people involved.

Reflection on a movie "Bend It Like Beckham"

By: Sarita Sok

The movie is about a young Indian girl named Jess who has always dreamt of becoming a famous football player like her favourite football player, David Beckham. The movie reflects several things that are happening now in the real society. 

Initially, it shows a cultural factor that forbids women for doing what she wants. Jess was not allowed to play football because she is a girl. Because of her culture and tradition which defined that women should only stay at home, study and cook, and should not have any physical interaction with boys, she was blamed for always playing football with other boys in public. 

Additionally, it displays race discrimination. Jess and her coach had felt on each other, but Jess’s family was a big obstacle for them since they wanted Jess to marry an Indian guy, not a Western guy. Despite the cultural and family barrier, Jess secretly plays football until she and Jess make their team reach the final round of football competition. When her parents found out that she secretly play football behind their back, they become stricter.

The movie is about Mark Zuckerberg, Harvard University’s student, who creates a social webpage to enhance communication between students. 

At first, Mark hacked the university security system. He took all the picture of female students and create a webpage for everyone to go on and rate them. He was suspended from school for a while. 

Seeing his potential in code writing, the Winklevoss twins who had always been trying to create a social network for Harvard University students called “HarvardConnection” asked him to join their team. Instead of cooperating with their team, he decided to create a social network on his own with financial support from his close friend, Eduardo Saverin and named it “The Facebook”.
