Experience:

My father and I have had a fair share of debates during dinner. Unfortunately,
they always end up with us shouting at each other or getting pissed at one another. One
time, we were talking about the Former President Marco’s burial in Libingan ng mga
Bayani and its implications about the true nature of the Philippine Government with I
being against the burial and my dad being for. My father and I were both the sender
and receiver of the conversation. Meanwhile, we exchanged messages in which we
tried to convey to each other our arguments. While there was no external noise, there
was internal noise that I was able to feel on my part as we had an estranged
relationship and personal prejudices against each other. Channels used were mainly
auditory as we were eating in front of each other. Feedback was also there, but was not
taken well by my father as he did not understand most of my points. Context was
physical as we were having dinner and the topic was very current during its time as it
had frequent news coverage.
