Burgess Shale video

I'm studying the Burgess Shale in Scientific Inquiry and this video shows an animation of what the Burgess Shale might have looked like and what the inhabitants of the Shale might have looked like as well. The Burgess Shale was in what we know today as Canada, but there were fossils found there that dramatically disprove many previous ideas of evolution that we know today. The reason is because these fossils are imprints of the soft parts of these animals.

Ways of communicating

There are many styles of communication. Communication styles include visual, auditory, ways of writing, languages, the arts, body language, etc. Interpretations are the perfect example of successes and failures within the subject of communication, because ideas and thoughts can be conveyed to others differently. This also connects with the idea of clarity of thoughts. Conveying your personal information to others and allowing them to be a part of your understanding allows for the idea of sharing unbiased information. With so many ideas on communicating provides a wider perspective on the whole concept of communication.
