Study Notes
Communication
- Used to share information, ask questions, express wants, and develop social relationships.
- Involves verbal and non-verbal forms to convey messages and meanings.
Types of Communication
- Verbal Communication: Words spoken or written to convey messages, such as conversations, public speeches, and news.
- Non-Verbal Communication: Includes gestures, facial expressions, body language, signs, symbols, colors, indicating meanings without spoken words.
Communication Models
- Shannon's Model: Simplistic model showing communication as a process where a source encodes a message, which is transmitted to a receiver, potentially distorted by "noise" during transmission.
- Berlo's Model: Stresses the importance of communication skills of both sender and receiver for successful message encoding and decoding.
- Schramm's Model: Highlights mutual roles of sender and receiver as encoders and decoders in effective communication.
Information
- Defined as processed data that aids decision-making.
- Capable of influencing perceptions and altering opinions regarding reality.
Media
- Plural form of medium; refers to various channels of communication like print and digital.
- Includes art, news, and educational content, and is also used in data storage contexts.
Social Media Impact
- Lowers barriers to communication, enhancing expression and sharing of thoughts globally.
