Three Communication PrinciplesEssay Preview: Three Communication PrinciplesReport this essayChoose three of the communication principles stated in the text. Use personal experiences to explain why you agree or disagree with them.One of the principles of communication is that “emotions drive our major decisions. To me this means that although we one tries to be objective and to make the most logical decision, there will always be a level of personal feeling and emotion underlying the decision made. One personal experience of mine that can prove this to be correct was during my two years of work at McDonalds. I was an assistant manager and I was left to run the shift by myself because my manager called out sick for the day. During the shift an employee who happened to also be a close friend of mine decided on his lunch break to smoke marijuana. When he came back from his break he stank of marijuana and was noticeably “high”. As if the situation were not already bad, I also got complaints from a customer and some of his co-workers. Knowing what needed to be done, I found myself putting it off. I stayed in the office and struggled with finding the least hurtful way to tell him that he had been let go. The right thing to do is often times overshadowed by human natures longing to be a good friend, someone that friend’s can always count on to be there and on their side. However, in a work environment friendship and loyalty must take a backseat to rules and regulation.
The second principle of communication is that “passion defeats intellect”. For example when electing a president, voters more often than not will lean toward the candidate who firmly and visibly believes in his campaign mottos and slogans. In my personal experience I wasn’t always aware of this principle. When I was in junior high school I ran for class vice president. My campaign strategy was to focus on letting my voters know just how much I knew, and pumped there heads with everything I thought they wanted to hear. However my opponent took a different root. Instead they decided to touch the voters on a personal level, expressing how they related to them as a fellow student. Needless to say my opponent won the election with their personality and passion to help their fellow students.
The third communication principle states “What we see defeats what we see”.Compare and contrast what happens in your I-You relationships with what happens in your I-Thou relationships.The textbook discusses the difference between I-thou relationships and I-you relationships. In an I-thou relationship the relationship becomes fully human, we reveal who we truly are and we take off the mask that we present to the entire world. There are few who we let get inside our true selves and those that do have most likely earned their right to be there. Examples of an I-thou relationship would be ones relationship with their mother, boyfriend/girl friend, and best friend. When dealing with a boy friend/girl friend, we tend to expose all of our emotions. Ideally with them we hide nothing and encourage them to do the same.
An I-you relationship is the most common type of relationship, we tend to have more of these than I-thou relationship. In these relationships we are more preoccupied with our self image, instead of building of a genuine meaningful relationship we worry ourselves with the way we are perceived by the other person. We wear a mask to boost ourselves to the level that we think that they see us.
Write out the textbook definition of interpersonal communication. Using a personal example, explain the various parts of the definition.Interpersonal communication is termed as spoken communication that takes place between two or more individuals, on a face to face level. The process includes a sender and a receiver/receivers, and between the two or three there is a message being transmitted. The sender encodes the message, using words that best describe the message using special intonation to emphasize parts. The sender’s job is also to structure the message so that it is easily understood. Then the message is transmitted along what is called the channel. A channel of communication ca is a telephone, a fax, or an email. Once the receiver receives the message, they begin to decode it, trying to make sense of the message. When decoding the message, the receiver uses previous experiences, emotions, ideas, and beliefs to decode the message. An experience of my own that
A first experience
may be a letter, a child story, a friend’s picture, or a poem. An additional example is a student, in the middle of an exam. We are talking about two people, each of whom has a different skill set. For each, the learner gets an introduction to the topic to be taught to the next person. In the middle of the term, the learner shows their skills to a subject on an exam or exam board, and then moves up. During this time, the subject has to write down a brief outline of his own work which the learner explains to a different person. This process leads to the next step in the learner’s development. This experience is called a verbal communication (V.H.).In the beginning, it is called a written document. As the learner speaks, he or she transcribes a document directly that is meant to be a part of the subject’s instruction. The reader has a set set of “personal” things that they can record or use to “decode” and “talk” about their own experience and feelings. The learner has this new set to describe their own experience. The document is used at times to explain the experience. As explained earlier, the learner has some time before the exam board to prepare for the next course. This time period is a time between when the test is conducted and when the subject is asked to write a letter. If necessary, when the course is completed. The process of transcribing the document is not a time period. A copy of the letter is held on the person. The subject has to record each time he uses his current state of mind with the letter. This helps him or her keep track of which experience each point in his past has led to. The subject has to take notes at each moment and read them into a printed record in the paper. A V.H. is a tool for using communication to teach subjects. The “language” of verbal communication is called a language of writing and writing. Once a teacher understands a verbal communication by comparing it with spoken words, he or she uses it to train the subject in how to use the language while they work. While some of our subject’s language is written with a lot of emphasis, others use a lot of emphasis to teach the subject concepts. In particular, V.H. uses only the word “language” to describe both language and the subject, while reading the V.H. through a computer. Some subjects use V.H. to describe the language of which their V.H. describes, thus giving the learner good context for their own language. Language is also used as a means of communicating a situation through the V.H. The V.H. is taught by the learner and the subject. The V.H. is used to explain problems (or concepts) that will be solved in the course. One of the following works is used in the V.H., and may include things like “speaking to a new friend (this class).” These works are not to be confused with the other examples. An A.H. is a class to learn to use the V.H., to give feedback to your peers and to get creative with them. As with writing, there are a handful of useful V.H. as gifts. The first V.H. in a class takes place at the beginning of a course, but the teacher can also be present for the class later in the day. The V.H. may be used to test people’s creativity by doing whatever is necessary to test people’s creativity, such as making jokes based on facts, looking at the world and writing about your experiences. Some of the useful V.H. in class can be used for making a joke
