Communications

COMMUNICATION THEORY ASSIGNMENT.

QUESTION 1:
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION.
It has been said that it is through communication that we create each other. By that the author meant that we obtain our
perceptions of others and determine how we interact with them on the basis of communication, and those perceptions shape how
we think and feel about them. Then our subsequent communications influence the other to behave in keeping with our
expectations. This is a mutual process whereby both parties transform the other. Think about a time when you were
communicating with someone and you realized they were not perceiving you correctly as the type of person you are? What were
the communication cues that told you that you were being misperceived? What did you do in response to correct that
perception? Or did you? You might have changed your behaviour to correspond to that perception. What did you do? What
happened? What was the long term effect?
QUESTION 2:
CONFLICT
All conflict is mediated through communication. Sometimes communication itself causes conflict, perhaps by errors in
communication, or perhaps by accurately communicating a potential problem between two parties and making it seem real. Think
of a conflict situation you experienced. How was the process of communication involved? Could the problem have disappeared if
communication had been handled differently? What was it about the communication process itself that contributed to the
problem, if it did so? If it did not contribute directly, how was communication the vehicle for the conflict? Could the
conflict have occurred if there had been no communication?
