Document Summary

Communication-the process of acting upon information. (someone/something says or does something and others think of do something in response) Human communication-the process of making sense out of the world and sharing that sense with others. Interpersonal communication-when we interact simultaneously with another person and mutually influence each other. Organizational communication-the process of making sense out of the world and sharing that sense with others in the context of organizations for the achievement of mutual goals. Communication has a relational as well as content dimension. Content meaning gives information about the topic being discussed. Relational meaning refers to the nature of the relationship of those communicating. Sending and receiving occurs simultaneously, with both verbal and nonverbal elements. We all experience change and are in a constant state of flux. Standpoint theory: our background and experiences determine our ability to communicate. Dr. carol dweck: people"s self-theories about intelligence have a profound influence on their motivation to learn.
