Baby, you’re the one. –Mother’s day special report on URBAN. By Teo Pau Lin.
This article which i chose to talk about because mother's day was just over, basically talks about how being a mother has changed certain perspective regarding how they used to regard work, entertainment, interests. Those mentioned used to be a priority that matters a lot to them, probably top on their list, but after having a baby at home, all has somehow taken second place. The new mother could just be contented to stay home with the baby for weeks. Mainly, this article talks about how the writer’s friends can all recognize which is her home unit just by finding the balcony that has baby’s laundry.
There are a few communication models that are the fundamental elements of the communication process and I believe this newspaper article is actually, using the linear model.
I can say so, because this is a written article from the sender, thus it is a through a one-way communication.
The receivers are seen as passive targets because usually, readers of newspapers will just ‘take in’ and not ‘give out’ comments straight to the senders.
Therefore, this form of communication is actually like a non-verbal form of traditional mass media which is targeted at a large audience, with the usage of any type of technology as a medium.

Being a mother is a huge responsibility. There are many things that a mother have to give up. They might be able to party late in the past but with a kid, they cant. They are restricted in a way. That is why a mother is always the most important person. Our mothers have to take care of us and protect us from danger. They have a decision not to bother but usually mothers would always stand by their kids no matter what.

yeah, i agree. Being a mother,your child is your flesh and blood,thus i'm very sure majority of the mothers would prize them as one of the top priorities in life. Al other entertainment and leisure activities would have to take a back seat already.
This is so true yet a lot of the people took it for granted these days. There is a beautiful quote by Mildred B. Vermont, saying that, “Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs… since the payment is pure love.” Our own mothers have already sacrificed so much for us and it is really the time that, we need to think of ways to contribute back to her. Some ways that we can show our love to them is simply by saying some words of affirmation daily, or even just made a breakfast for them. I am sure they will be surprise and really appreciates your efforts. Hence, start doing something good for your mother today!
I guess everyone has been commenting on mom's love.. Trust me, moms need to be loved as much as they love their children. =) great analysis, by the way.
YES! mums are meant to be doted by their children because of all that they have done to raise their children. all that effort,time and love.. So lets all start doing something nice and sweet to appreciate our mothers this week!
Haven't really seen the article thats why i feel that the part about the hanging laundry is abit discriminating. Its like how we can tell a NSman when we see army uniform. Haha anyway, have to agree that mums have every right to, and should place their new found resposibilities as top priority. Afterall, the upbringing of the child determines his or her character and thus in turn, will reflect what sort of a parent u are
Louisa.. Can help me in a question which is Managers are leaders? and why? Although managers and leaders are not the same, i have to agree with it first cause i'm in debate now.. any good ideas?
