...as a Form of Popular Communication In 2005 spring, a 16 years old boy from southern U.S. decided to tell his parents he was a gay and he did not take it well. Thus, his parents decided to send him to a Christian “straight camp” to get him back on the right path. He poured his emotions into a blog on his MySpace.com website which was accessible to the whole Internet. In his posting, he raised the idea of suicide and harming his parents and he wrote his emotional anguish about the camp, including a strict list of rules he would be living upon in next several weeks before leaving for the camp. Within one day, his postings began spreading among blogosphere, provoking a political demonstrating, a state investigation and international new coverage eventually (Tremayne, 2007). The impact of the experience on him remains unclear, but the whole event suggests that the power and dominance of blog in transmission of information and message are evidence comparing with the pre-blog era, in which his story unlikely spreads out further than the circle of his family and friends. According to Gunn and Brummett (2004), among communication studies scholars, “popular communication concerns the study of objects that are widely circulated by means of mass media” (p. 708). In early time, the most popular objects of analysis were radio, television, advertisements and films. However, along with the Internet matures and becomes essential in people’s daily life, new types of popular communication medium...

Professionals have more of an understanding therefore by speaking to the professional about the issues they are able to give an immediate solution and feedback. This also ensures clarity. For example if a service user struggles with depression the professional is able to advice the service user on what to do and provide feedback from what they suffered from. Having oral communication allows the service user to provide different ways of repeating what they have said therefore the professional can understand the problem correctly making this an effective communication. If the communication is effective this ensures provision of care and the problem is identified correctly which can be agreed on by making sure that the issue has been received problem i.e. justification. The professional can then provide the service user with a treatment they are confident with as they have more knowledge about the problem and the service user can then receive the best care in order to get better or feel better i.e. self-esteem.

...The Rise of Social Media in the 21st Century and its Advent as a Legitimate Form of Communication John Santry Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract Social Media offers an exciting new area for individuals and business to explore relationship building and communication on a grandiose scale. This study explores how the tools and opportunities afforded by social media sites are enabling and legitimizing a new form of communication. While social media is beneficial in numerous ways, greater audience engagement increases the possibility of misperception. Therefore, a new category of social network related etiquette and ethical responsibility is warranted. This paper will look at some of those reasons for increased awareness and attention to being politically correct when publically participating in social media, and how those elements can affect ones personal or professional perception. Keywords: social media, social network, Facebook, Twitter, communication, etiquette, ethics The Rise of Social Media in the 21st Century and its Advent as a Legitimate Form of Communication Introduction Social media has broken the barriers of space and time, enabling 24/7 communications on a scale unlike any before.

...Barriers to Effective Communication Michelle Chaney CJA 304 June 27, 2011 Pamela Knothe Everyone uses some form of communication every day. It may be through e-mail, on the telephone, or face-to-face. Knowing when to communicate is as important as knowing what form of communication to use. For individuals in customer service good communication skills, both oral and written, are essential to their responsibilities. Although there is a significant difference between listening and hearing, both play a vital role in how the receiver of a message interprets the communication and if it can hold their interest long enough to understand it. The three components of communication are verbal, nonverbal, and paraverbal. Verbal communication is the verbal exchange of information between two or more people and is the most common form of communication. Nonverbal communication is when someone exchanges information without the use of words. This communication can be a simple nod of the head, a smile, a hand gesture, or even a grimace. Hand gestures are a common form of nonverbal communication in law enforcement. Paraverbal communication is the tone or inflection in the voice that a message is conveyed with. For example, whispering to someone means that no one else should be privy to the information passed along. On the other, shouting could be perceived as anger or ensuring they are heard over a crowd. It depends on the circumstances surrounding the communication at a particular moment...

There are many forms of human communication. According to DeVito (1996), “One form is interpersonal communication which occurs when you interact with a person with whom you have some type of relationship with” (p. 3). The point of this paper is to explain the elements of interpersonal communication, forms of interpersonal communication, and the uses of interpersonal communication. Elements of communication consists of a few such as: source idea, message, encoding, channel, receiver, decoding, and feedback. According to Knapp (1985), “The widespread availability of technology for communication is bound to play an important role in the way interpersonal communications are thought of and manifested” (p.8). First, the source idea is how an idea is created which then is formed to be the message that will be communicated. Next, there is encoding which is the form of the message which follows the channel on how the message is transmitted. Example, encoding could be the message is in written form and the channel would be the sheet of paper. Then there is the receiver who the person is receiving the...

...Health Care Communications Methods Susan Anderson HCS/320 January 26, 2015 Terri De Wees Option 1: Nursing Home Administrator As the administrator of a nursing home, I have recently received notification that this nursing home has been bought out by a national long term care facility. There are new policies that will be put in place, causing some of the current residents to be displaced. As the administrator it is my responsibility to communicate these changes to the residents, clients, and members of their families.

Ultimately it is my responsibility to make sure the needs of the residents for arrangements are made to make this transition as painless as possible.
