- 6. Five Principles of Communication Communication is transactional because it involves an exchange. If I go to the store to get a coke, I exchange money to the cashier for the coke. I give something and get something in return. Communication is the same… you have to give and receive for communication to happen.
- 7. Five Principles of Communication Communication is complex for several reasons. It is interactive because many processes are involved. It is symbolic because symbols are open to interpretation. It is personal & cultural because a person’s culture can add a new or different meaning to a phrase or gesture. It is irreversible because once a message is sent, it cannot be taken back. It is circular because it involves both original messages and feedback which is necessary to confirm communication. It is purposeful because there is always a reason behind a message and it helps meet our needs. It is impossible to duplicate because each interaction is unique.
- 8. Five Principles of Communication Communication is unavoidable because it is impossible to not communicate. You are communicating constantly even when you do not intend to communicate. You communicate by the way you sit or move, by the way you speak, by what you wear, by your actions…. Even when you sleep in class, you’re communicating that you are bored or that you don’t care.
- 9. Five Principles of Communication Communication is continuous because it continues to impact and influence future interactions and shape our relationships. Have you ever gotten off to a wrong start with someone? Has it taken a lot of time to perhaps overcome someone’s negative opinion of you? Has someone ever said something to you that hurt your feelings and you’ve always remembered it and think about it when you see that person?

- 11. Five Levels of Communication Intrapersonal Communication is communication that occurs in your own mind. It is “self-talk” which are the inner speech or mental conversations that we carry on with ourselves. It is the basis of your feelings, biases, prejudices, and beliefs. Examples are when you make any kind of decision – what to eat or wear. When you think about something – what you want to do on the weekend or when you think about another person. You can also communicate with yourself when you dream at night.
- 12. Five Levels of Communication Interpersonal communication is the communication between two people but can involve more in informal conversations. Through this kind of communication we maintain relationships. Examples are when you are talking to your friends. A teacher and student discussing an assignment. A patient and a doctor discussing a treatment. A manager and a potential employee during an interview. Any one on one or informal communication.
- 13. Five Levels of Communication Small Group communication is communication within formal or informal groups or teams. It is group interaction that results in decision making, problem solving and discussion within an organization. Examples would be a group planning a surprise birthday party for someone. A team working together on a project. A focus group discussing the pros and cons of a new product. A group therapy session.
- 14. Five Levels of Communication One-to-group communication involves a speaker who seeks to inform, persuade or motivate an audience. Examples are a teacher and a class of students. A preacher and a congregation. A speaker and an assembly of people in the auditorium.
- 15. Five Levels of Communication Mass communication is the electronic or print transmission of messages to the general public. Outlets called mass media include things like radio, television, film, and printed materials designed to reach large audiences. A television commercial. A magazine article. Hearing a song on the radio. Books, Newspapers, Billboards. The key is that you are reaching a large amount of people without it being face to face. Feedback is generally delayed with mass communication.
