...Communication Concepts from “Bones” Communication concepts appear in virtually every realm of life. When you watch your favorite movie, you are constantly observing different communications concepts all the way through your most beloved scenes and adventures.

This has a lot to do with politics or the lack of. Our stock market has been dropping over the past few days and weeks on hand. This is due to the republicans not wanting to meet our president halfway by playing politics with the people it is supposed to govern. As we all know the United States is a republican state. Our family values as a whole has gotten out of control by the way we now define marriage. And it is harder for students graduating from High School to enter into college. This is in part due to cut backs with the spending for students who depend on government grants and loans (as the loans yield a high percentage for return). This society is broken and it has been for a while, before Obama became President. If I was to do business in the United States I would be aware of social media such as Facebook, radio and television. This is one platform that I will utilize for my company when trying to promote my business as well as the internet such as paying for pop-up blockers ads.

...Question: What Is Self-Concept? Answer: Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves. This image is formed in a number of ways, but is particularly influenced by our interactions with important people in our lives. SELFCONCEPTan idea of the self constructed from the beliefs one holds about oneself and the responses of others. Intrapersonal communication, or communication within yourself, is an area of study that is fundamental to the field of interpersonal communication. Interpersonal Communication is communication with others, whereas Intrapersonal communication limits itself to communication within the individual. It is communication that takes place within the individual when he or she is communicating with others, or simply, when he or she is alone and thinking to himself or herself. When a person says to himself or herself, “way to go,” he or she is engaging in intrapersonal communication. The practice of Intrapersonal Communication is critical to helping you develop not only your sense of self but also help you identify how to communicate with others. You see, your value of yourself determines how you communicate with others so it is important to assess your self concept. The self-concept is based on what people are told by others and how the sense of self is reflected in the words and actions of important people in one’s life, such as parents, siblings, coworkers, friends and teachers. Self Concept Self concept is how you see yourself and is important...

...ADOLESCENT SELF-CONCEPT Factors of Adolescent Self-Concept: Mass Mediated, Peer, and Family Communication David J. Feliciano University of West Florida 1 FACTORS OF ADOLESCENT SELF-CONCEPT 2 Abstract This paper focuses on the main factors that cause an influence to the self-image and self-esteem of an adolescent. Specifically, this paper focuses on what is believed to be the three primary factors of flux to the self-image and self-esteem of an adolescent: mass mediated social influences, peer interactions, and messages received from family members. The review of literature in this paper leads to two research questions: (1) What factor seems to cause the greatest amount of increased self-esteem for an adolescent who does not have siblings? (2) What factor seems to cause the greatest amount of decreased self-esteem for an adolescent who does not have siblings? The methods chosen to answer these research questions would be experimental research and focus groups. FACTORS OF ADOLESCENT SELF-CONCEPT 3 Despite the amount of research that has been conducted with the hopes of better understanding the development of an individual’s self-concept, the vast number of factors affecting a self-concept results in the inability to definitively label the greatest factor among shaping a self-concept. Although scholars agree that communication is a main factor of selfconcept, the debate centers on what medium of communication affects the self-concept to the highest...

...My Advice on Communication in Relationships Cindy Warbritton Interpersonal Communication Comm 200 Jennifer Williams December 6, 2015 Dear Cindy and Wesley, When studying communication skills one can learn many ways to be able to express oneself to another person without misinterpretations. Using these communication skills can help in having a more successful relationships and relationships can become stronger. Communication is the key to people having self-esteem, self-concept, and self-image and these all play a part in how we communicate. Self-disclosure and understanding gender differences play a role in communication, as well. In relationships it is important to use communication skills and understand how another communicates. There are barriers in communication and these barriers can affect how one communicates. Oftentimes misunderstandings occur due to these barriers, but understanding and learning will help to alleviate those misunderstandings. While communication is one of the most important parts of a relationship, barriers must be broken down so misunderstandings do not occur or are limited. In one study it has been said the major barrier to communication is the tendency to evaluate, judge, approve, or disapprove what the other person is saying (Rogers, 2001). Of course there are many barriers such as cultural, types of language, gestures, body language, and many others. It is said The United States has many cultures and with these cultures comes different...

...COMM 89 Theory Paper Purpose: Evaluate the utility of an academic theory by examining its applications to everyday life. Enhance your ability to understand academic theory as explained by an outside source and to apply theoretical concepts with organization and clarity. Demonstrate original thought in analysis of utility. Preparation: 1. Choose an episode from your life. Choose one of the two following types of brief (1-3 minutes) real life communicative episodes (any communication interaction between 2 or more individuals). Do NOT attempt to use a movie scene. a) First-hand experience: an incident in which you met and/or communicated with someone. b) Observed episode: an incident in which you witnessed 2 or more others communicating. 2. Select a theory from those on the schedule prior to the midterm. Choose one that will help you understand your communicative episode and that might also be beneficial for understanding your future communication interaction. 3. Find at least one main academic source (NOT your textbook or lecture notes) that explains the theory. This main source must be published and will most likely to be either a chapter in an edited book or a journal article that provides a thorough explanation of the theory. A journal article with an experimental study is unlikely to provide a thorough explanation of the theory, but is a very useful additional source for discussing the utility of the theory. (Use these in your utility section.) Your textbook and...
