something that i really wanted to talk about was the 6 characteristics of communication
1. communication is symbolic
this means that the stronger the connection with a symbol the better the shared meaning
2. communication is a shared code
this means that every member of a group must share the same way of encoding and decoding a message.
3. Communication is linked to culture.
this means that the things and word mean different things in different cultures.
4. communication is intentional
this means that everything is communicated on poupous weather it be by words or body language.
5. communication is mediated.
this means that commuication is carried though a 3ed party, like internet, phone, text.
6. communication is transactional.
this mean that the messages sent are dependent on the other person sending one back!

ReplyDeleteI think the 6 characteristics of communication are very important for anyone to keep in mind. It is something that one needs to think about when talking to people, but, also in group work. Good communication within groups or from person to person, results in good productivity, whatever that may be. Also, better understanding of what you might want to say. This is very important when there is communication within a group, so that people do not easily misunderstand each other. I think by keeping these 6 characteristics in mind when communicating within a group, you will succeed to get the message through.
