"Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know." - Jim Rohn
Why We Need Communication
Communication is one of the most important parts of society today. The people of Fahrenheit 451 barely know how to speak with each other or act. They are also very anti-social which causes this. There is a purpose to socializing other than just for the fun of it. Communication can help people transport important information to each other fast and with ease. Also with communication, you can get jobs easier along with the deficit of education. Jobs are always available for the city, especially since we are trying to rebuild the community.
Why There is a Deficit in Communication
Communication is a major deficit for the citizens of Fahrenheit 451 because of their lack of speech. Citizens in Fahrenheit 451 lack speech because they are always on their electronics. For example, most women in the city are constantly watching their "family" in the parlor. Apparently, if you pay money, your "family" will mention your name on your show. This can cause many people just sitting down all day and listening to their "family" say their name. For the citizens, their "family" is also entertaining because they are always yelling at each other and making fun of each other. This is ironic because their "family" is having a conversation but they are not. Doesn't it encourage people to have conversations with real people? You would think, but it doesn't affect anyone. Most people just sit there and watch it with no reactions. Communication is important to the society because it helps people get around easily and also helps people with their jobs and with their emotions.
Overall, communication needs to be fixed for the citizens of Fahrenheit 451 because of their lack of getting around and seeing people. Seeing people should become a regular thing so that people can catch up on others lives fast and easy. This deficit is probably the trickiest to handle because everyone is at different stages. But seeing people is nice because you realize that it isn't so hard to find a spouse or to chat once you go around.

Ways to Teach Communication
We plan teach them communication skills by creating more public things in the community like more stores, meetings and events. Also, we can help people to see how to respond in social situations. This also can be helped with interactive television shows. For example, in the program, someone might be making a decision, or simply replying to a question. Before they do, the show may ask something like, "What should Blake do?" They can then record their answer and find the most appropriate one.
