The first discipline is communication studies, which examines how information is produced and disseminated. It investigates how information flows between individuals and groups. The earliest origins of this field can be traced back to the period of World War II. Before the formal establishment of communication studies as a discipline, it was part of the social sciences. During the 20th century, communication studies were further developed and gradually evolved into the methods of communication we know today. Wibur Schramm was the first to identify himself as a communication researcher. He also trained the first group of communication studies students. Communication studies typically employs three research and investigation methods: Quantitative Studies, Qualitative Studies, and Critical Studies. These three approaches provide a platform for presenting and analyzing collected information. I think the strength of media studies is that it allows for a broad perspective on problems. It integrates many disciplines, such as sociology and psychology, to better analyze problems, and its methods are highly flexible. This enables discussion not only of simple problems but also of deeper, more complex social problems. Media studies permeate every part of our lives. For example, public relations and content marketing are both related to communication studies. However, this very wide characterization is also the discipline's weakness, as its coverage is extremely broad. Because communication studies covers multiple fields, it can be difficult for individuals to gain deep understanding in any specific direction, sometimes making it hard to solve problems accurately. Additionally, the subject is overly subjective, unlike the sciences with their definitive answers. The opinions expressed and articles written are easily influenced by the individual.

The second discipline is philosophy. This field originated in ancient Greece. Previously, philosophy encompassed many disciplines, such as physics or psychology. However, today these are considered separate disciplines distinct from philosophy. Around the world, different regions emphasize different areas within philosophy. Philosophy is primarily divided into four branches: epistemology, ethics, logic, and metaphysics. Philosophy is a rational, reflective mode of inquiry. It focuses on long-term, deeply significant questions in human life. The purpose is not simply to provide answers, but to help people better understand the subject matter and know themselves. Philosophical methods are used to get philosophical knowledge and argue for claims. Since philosophy doesn't depend on experimental data, different methods lead to different standards of evidence. Some philosophers choose to stay with one method, while others flexibly pick methods based on the problem. Philosophy has four approaches that shape data collection and analysis methods: positivism, hermeneutics, critical theory, and postmodernism. I think philosophy's strength is that it enhances deep thinking and logical reasoning skills, as it demands rigorous reasoning. It is an excellent way to train logical thinking. At the same time, it enhances critical thinking skills, encouraging individuals to engage in regular self check. Philosophical methods and concepts are applicable across many professional fields, making it a highly valuable interdisciplinary course. The weakness of this subject is that it cannot create a single, definitive answer. Since it depends primarily on analysis and logic, everyone thinks differently. Each person's answer is different, and it is difficult to reach a common understanding. The content of this course is difficult for most people to understand because it involves a great deal of vocabulary, and it is also highly abstract, making it challenging to learn.

The third discipline is psychology. In the 17th century, Descartes first introduced preliminary concepts of psychology. By the late 19th century, Wilhelm Wundt had opened the world's first psychology laboratory. From this point onward, psychology has become an independent discipline. Psychology is the discipline that studies human thought and behavior, focusing on mental processes and biological factors, as well as the influence of social environments on human thinking and emotions. Psychology has a wide range of applications and is constantly present in our lives, the most common being in the field of mental health. Psychologists use many different research methods. For example, questionnaires, interviews, experiments, and behavioral observations are used to study human communication and behavior,

thereby observing different psychological behaviors. The strength of psychology lies in the scientific study of human behavior. Through experiments and statistical analysis, it helps individuals identify patterns in their self understanding, be more objective, and even to predict future actions. Psychology can have an impact in different fields, such as social media, education, and business. The growing development of psychology has deepened people's understanding of mental illnesses, which can help individuals suffering from psychological disorders find healing. The weakness of this discipline is that people are not simple programs; their behavior is highly complex. Consequently, its findings may not be entirely correct or accurate. Due to different regional cultures, the same research results may not apply universally to all individuals. Because human nature is complex, the measured outcomes may not be correct and can only serve as a general guess.

During my studies, it was a coincidence that led me to take these three subjects at the same time. At first, I didn't realize how significant the combined impact of these three disciplines could be, nor how closely they were interconnected. But as I continued learning, I discovered that the collaboration between these three disciplines could make problem solving approaches more complete, and could solve more problems. Communication Studies, as my major course, was the first discipline I encountered. It taught me that communication is more than simple conversation; there are many factors influencing human communication, and communication involves many different methods. Teamwork and daily communication skills are also part of my learning experiences. Philosophy encourages me to think about the meaning behind communication, understand why we express ourselves in certain ways, and understand the significance of those expressions. It can help me to learn how to understand and solve problems from different perspectives. It enables me to look at issues more deeply, rather than just seeing the surface. Psychology helps me understand people's emotions during communication and the reasons behind their behaviors. Psychology has helped me understand the psychology of each individual within a team, and the resulting communication effectiveness has also benefited my major. It taught me how to consider the psychological needs of the audience before designing or doing any task, rather than just approaching things from my own perspective. The combination of these three disciplines enables me to complete my studies more thoroughly and to view and handle problems in a more complex and effective way. They will be of great help in my studies and work.
