6. EXPLORING THE NATURE OF COMMUNICATION

7. What do you think of when you hear the word communication ?

8. A speaker is delivering a speech before an audience is the first thing that probably comes to mind for many in the class. Communication is not just the mere transfer of messages from one person to another just like a balikbayan box being delivered to one’s doorstep. It involves a speaker imparting ideas, concepts, and data to a group of listeners (the audience) – this is communication.

9. Communication is about one person talking with another such as with a sibling, a parent, a teacher, or a friend, face-to-face or even via the Internet. It is also a group of people talking to one another to solve a problem, for example, discussing with classmates about how a report should be done. Even buying a snack from a vendor outside the school campus is considered communication.

10. Why is this case? Every communication involves a transaction: a person wants to talk to someone about something because that person needs something from that someone. For example, if a student needs permission to attend a school field trip, the student has to ask his or her parents. When a group needs to submit a report, all the group members have to discuss how to go about it. Anyone who needs to buy something has to tell the vendor exactly what it is he or she wants and has to ask how much it costs.

11. Communication is stirring up ideas in the mind of another. It is the sharing of ideas among a group of people. It is imparting concepts to an audience. Monroe and Ehninger (1974) described it as the sharing of experiences publicly for the common good.

12. Pace et al (1979) observed that communication can be learned. Explain why.
