COMM150 Chapter 1: Looking in, Looking Out-Chapter 1
Document Summary
Purpose: interpersonal communication is essential in our lives: we need to communicate. Central message i: why we communicate (physical needs, identity needs, social needs, practical goals) Application 1: physical needs i think it"s interesting how our physical well-being changes based on the amount of interaction and communication we have with other people. I think that we all realize that communication is important at least to some degree or we wouldn"t strive to make relationships with other people. I"m a naturally a reserved person that doesn"t quite like people but i do love my husband and my family and. Without their love and support i"m sure i wouldn"t be as happy as i am today. Application 2: identity needs i think it was interesting how the books said that our identity is decided based on our communication with others and how they react to us.
