Document Summary
Key points: everything communicates ! (ex: inanimate objects. Ex: table sends a message of studying, age of building, working, order) words are symbols, we create the meaning behind those symbols, sometimes those meaning change. Sept. 8 2017: people are complex, we don"t have all the information, noise gets in the way of communications, meanings are multilayered, denotation: dictionary definition of the word, connotation: all other implied meanings (trouble) Con: legalize drugs) subtext: use of multiple channels. "the single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place"" - Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars - gustave flaubert. We use cmn to make sense out of the world from a breath (range) of diverse information. Experience things, see things and we need it affirmed by ppl.
