Human Communication

hellooooo ppl!!


Ooopppsiiieee! sorry for the delayed post! *arrgghh*
Anyway, here's a recap on what we did in last 2 week's human comm's class!


First chapter for the week explains that one of the reasons we communicate is to persuade others to view ourselves as we want to be seen.

What is communication?




Communication is defined as a process by which we assign meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding.

It introduced four communication contexts which includes intrapersonal, dyadic, small group and public. The chapter also identifies several types of needs that communication satisfies such as physical, identity, social and practical.


Examples of

a) intrapersonal communication

communicating with one-self.
(communicates internally)

b) Dyadic communication (most common type of communication)

Dyadic communication, which is also known as interpersonal communication.
It differs from other forms of communication in that there are few participants involved.
One of the reasons why we engage in interpersonal communication is so that we can gain knowledge about another individual and also helps us better understand what someone says in a given context.

c) Small Group Communication(common fixture of everyday life which involves 3-5 people)

everyone can participate actively with other members.

d) Public communication

this is when group becomes large for members to contribute.

e) Mass communication ( one to millions ) is a message created by

a person

or


a group of people

sent through a transmitting device to a large audience or market.
