Study Notes
Communication History
- Communication is foundational to human society, influencing its development.
- Earliest visual communication evidence dates back to 45,000 BCE, including Neanderthal artifacts.
- Written communication began around 8,000 BCE with token systems in Mesopotamia, coinciding with agricultural development.
- In 1446, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press with movable type, revolutionizing text production.
- William Caxton established the first printing press in England in the 1470s, producing early advertisement flyers.
- The first general mail system was created in France in 1480, leading to similar systems in Denmark (1624) and England (1625).
- Hungary produced the first newspaper around 1485, while the 1500s saw the early circulation of news letters by the House of Fuggers.
- The first sustained newspaper production in Europe occurred between 1600-1620, with England's The Courant debuting in 1620.
- Samuel Morse invented telegraphy in 1838, first connecting Baltimore and Washington with a famous message in 1844.
- The Associated Press was organized in 1846, followed by the telegraph's introduction to the Chicago Commodity Exchange in 1848.
- Advertising emerged in modern form in 1200, with the first U.S. newspaper featuring ads in 1704.
- Print as a mass medium accelerated idea dissemination, standardized communication, and challenged ideological monopolies.
- The rise of audiovisual media transformed societal communication, moving from cultural memory to instantaneous interactions across distances.
- These changes lead to a more interconnected global society, raising concerns about societal imbalance due to powerful economic media influences.
The Self
- The "Looking Glass Self" theory illustrates how self-perception is influenced by others' reactions.
- Self-concept is an evolving narrative shaped by personal traits and social contexts, changing with different contexts.
- Self-awareness is key for personal growth, allowing alignment of actions with internal values.
- Self-esteem represents a personal evaluation of self-concept, prone to fluctuations based on experiences.
- Self-efficacy refers to confidence in one's task performance, often impacting self-esteem positively or negatively.
- High self-efficacy boosts self-esteem; low self-efficacy can lead to diminished self-worth.
- Self-compassion involves being kind to oneself, recognizing that flaws are part of human experience.
- Self-Discrepancy Theory connects ideal self, ought self, and actual self, explaining how gaps between these can affect emotional states and self-esteem.
- Discrepancies may arise from external expectations versus personal aspirations, influencing self-identity and self-esteem.
Human-Machine Communication
- Human-machine communication involves machines simulating human communication but lacking true cognitive abilities.
- Schema theory explains how people use mental frameworks to interpret interactions, often projecting human traits onto machines.
- Communication is seen as a meaningful exchange, but machines can only simulate this process without genuine understanding.
- Ethical concerns arise from attributing intent to machines that operate on code, blurring human and machine interactions.
- Increasing machine integration may disrupt social dynamics and lead to a paradoxical reliance on technology.
- "As if" behavior highlights how people treat machines as genuine communicators despite their lack of true cognitive skills.
Culture
- Culture consists of shared beliefs, attitudes, values, and practices within a group, influencing intercultural communication.
- Power distance indicates the distribution of power in societal structures, ranging from low (equal power) to high (hierarchical).
- High power distance societies, like North Korea, contrast with low power distance societies, such as Singapore.
- Individualistic cultures prioritize personal needs, while collectivist cultures emphasize group well-being.
- Communication context reflects how individuals express themselves, influenced by cultural norms and expectations.
