UNDERSTANDING HUMAN COMMUNICATION
Dis 2
For your second post of the week, choose one of the three enduring themes (symbolic
activities, meaning, and ethics) described at the end of chapter 2 and apply your chosen
theme to a real life example of communication in the mediated world. You will notice
some examples have been provided for each of the themes. Try to avoid simple
repetition of these examples. As will be the case going forward, we are looking for direct
connections between communication principles we are learning and yourlife.
Symbolic communication is the interchange of messages that modify a priori events expectation.
Symbolic communications are established by the outfits we attire and the accessories we own.
Language comprises non-verbal in addition to symbolic verbal communications. With others all
communication is termed as a symbolic communication and includes the usage of sound,
language, bodily expression and gesture. It is validated by the vehicles we drive. +The furthermost
significant features of this kind of communication are the words we make use of.+The ancient
enduring symbolic humans communications are graffiti which are drawn on rock surfaces. The
most primitive symbolic communications traces are found in paintings in cave. These
communications retell us of the deepness of the human outlay in visual appearance and the
power and range of symbolic communications. (Wood. 2017)
