This assignment is designed to show the vast amount of messaging we see in our society regarding interpersonal communication. As part of our social conditioning we pay close attention to the constant messaging we are sent by the society around us.
In post-modern life this includes a lot of messaging found in all types of media – mass media sources, social media, etc.
This assignment is meant to also bridge between your own understanding of the course concepts and the messaging you experience all around you in how you use and understand interpersonal communication in all its forms in our lives. This spans from our relationships to our very use of communication on a daily basis.
Instructions:
You will find THREE articles from publication either online or in print. The article will be related to the information covered in the text.
These can either be in hard copy or from online.
You will compare these articles to the readings and class Power Points to determine what concept or theory is being discussed. You will then write a one-to-two page analysis for EACH article. In this analysis you will compare these articles to the readings and class notes to determine what concept or theory is being discussed. Please DO NOT give me a summary of the article. I will be able to read them for myself through your web-link or copy submission.
You will then explain whether or not the article agrees or disagrees with the text.
A copy of the web link or scanned photocopy of each article and your analysis are to be included in your submission either as part of your final essay for each article or in a separate submission.
