Communication solves world problems?

This is similar to a post from December... but whatever.

Some say that money is the root of all evil. Some say that people are innately good.
Either way, I believe without a doubt that all problems in the world are due to
miscommunication. In some way or another, all wars, battles, arguments, and
judgments are based on some levels of man not understanding, or not trying to
understand, fellow man. Studying speech-language pathology (or "communication
therapy") has taught me a simple part of language that can have huge altercations-
Taking the listener's perspective. If we all could learn a little more about our
audiences, about the rationale of who that person/group of people is/are, the
world would be a better place. I am pursuing this field in hopes to one day, bridge
the gap between hearing and Deaf culture (which is wildly more fascinated and
alienated than I had ever realized).
