My favorite theory we’ve covered is probably Aristotle’s Rhetoric. It’s one of the easier theories to understand and I like how it uses the concepts ethos, pathos, and logos. #COMM2870
A time where I had to practice accommodation for someone’s communication style was when I encountered a deaf customer at work. They communicated by note passing and I tried my best to communicate back, either by body language or the limited sign language I know. #COMM2870
When other people trip/fall causing them to lose face, I end up feeling sorry for them. Both for the public embarrassment and for the physical pain. But if it’s not serious I usually laugh it off. #COMM2870
My social location as a middle class college student affects me in so many different ways. I’m someone who is fortunate enough to be able to go to school and work towards my future, which has given me a optimistic look on the world around me. #COMM2870
This is how I feel when communicating with guy friends I have similar interests in. When we’re on the same page and see each other as equals. #COMM2870
I believe the agenda setting theory is still relevant today. The media impacts me quite a bit, especially on the internet. On social media I’m surrounded by peers and people who share the same worldview as me. And because of that, my perspective sometimes gets skewed. #COMM2870
@ssarahwilt I agree! The media, and the agendas that come with them, now has become embedded into our everyday lives because of the internet. #COMM2870
I mostly get my news from abc, cbs, and cnn. Which fall more towards neutral or skews left (cnn). I mostly try to keep my world view as unbiased and neutral as I can, but I do lean more left. #COMM2870
