what comes into my mind when i people say communication?
to me, it requires one or more person to talk with no matter what or which or how we communicate.
it could be via sms, email, phone, face to face or chat line



according to the notes and text book,
communication refers to the process of human beings responding to the symbolic behaviour of other persons.
it is a continous and ongoing process.

to my discovery in our second lecture, there are 5 types of communication

intrapersonal communication.
-one communicate internally by listening to one's voice that lives in one's head.
the comic below can be an example of intrapersonal comm.
101 things might be going through his head.
eg: am i going to die?
is this a prank?
what do they want from me?


followed by,
dyadic communication a.k.a. as interpersonal comm.
it requires two person to communicate.
it could either be verbal or non verbal comm.



small group communication,
requires 3-5 people talking. sometimes more and can reach up to 1 class of human comm.
conflicts are more likely to happen which is a good thing.



public communication
- 1 person shares knowledge to many.
it could be a conference, lecture class, school, etc etc,


lastly,
mass communication
- it sends messages to large audience
- it could be through tv, print ads
this is a one way activity(linear model)






can you imagine living in this world without communicating with anyone?
i would become insane!wouldn't you?
try not talking to anyone for at least a day, not even your door knob.
in communication, there is always a point of misconceptions about communication which may cause havoc.
-communication is not always simple. culture and the environment is the cause. example: in malaysia we can use our fingers to do the OK sign, but in certain countries it is a bad sign
- more communication is not always better=(
i must say, we should understand other people's culture and think before we speak to avoid the worse outcome.
