Principles of Interpersonal Communication

Four Principles of Interpersonal Communication

These principles underlie the workings in real life of interpersonal communication.

1)      Interpersonal communication is inescapable

We can't not communicate. The very attempt not to communicate communicates something. Through not only words, but through tone of voice and through gesture, posture, facial expression, etc., we constantly communicate to those around us.

2)      Interpersonal communication is irreversible

You can't really take back something once it has been said. The effect must inevitably remain

3)      Interpersonal communication is complicated

No form of communication is simple. Because of the number of variables involved, even simple requests are extremely complex. Theorists note that whenever we communicate there are really at least six people.

4)      Interpersonal communication is contextual

radio

Radio is the older of the two main forms of electronic media, the other being television. Radio in commercial broadcast form has been around since about l920. Of the two it is far better adapted to abstract thought (such as, to give a benign example, Book Reviews) and ideally is- well infinite as regards projection of subject matter. The demands are different- sight gags and talking heads are, mercifully, out of the question, but radio has enormous potential for entertainment and enlightenment as well as mere news, weather, traffic and sportive events. I have been off TV many years but an avid radio fan, and particularly espouse WBAI and similar underground stations. Radio can go, where TV simply cannot, and in a sense is far more democratic. 

video games

A video game is a computer-controlled game where a video display such as a monitor or television is the primary feedback device. The term "computer game" also includes games which display only text (and which can therefore theoretically be played on a teletypewriter) or which use other methods, such as sound or vibration, as their primary feedback device, but there are very few new games in these categories. There always must also be some sort of input device, usually in the form of button/joystick combinations (on arcade games), a keyboard & mouse/trackball combination (computer games), or a controller (console games), or a combination of any of the above. Also, more esoteric devices have been used for input. Usually there are rules and goals, but in more open-ended games the player may be free to do whatever they like within the confines of the virtual universe.

In common usage, a "computer game" or a "PC game" refers to a game that is played on a personal computer. "Console game" refers to one that is played on a device specifically designed for the use of such, while interfacing with a standard television set. "Arcade game" refers to a game designed to be played in an establishment in which patrons pay to play on a per-use basis. "Video game" (or "videogame") has evolved into a catchall phrase that encompasses the aforementioned along with any game made for any other device, including, but not limited to, mobile phones, PDAs, advanced calculators, etc.

Film is a term that encompasses motion pictures as individual projects, as well as the field in general. The origin of the name comes from the fact that photographic film (also called filmstock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist — motion pictures (or just pictures and "picture"), the silver screen, photoplays, the cinema, picture shows, flicks — and commonly movies.

Films are produced by recording people and objects with cameras, or by creating them using animation techniques and/or special effects. They comprise a series of individual frames, but when these images are shown rapidly in succession, the illusion of motion is given to the viewer. Flickering between frames is not seen due to an effect known as persistence of vision — whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Also of relevance is what causes the perception of motion; a psychological effect identified as beta movement.

Film is considered by many to be an important art form; films entertain, educate, enlighten and inspire audiences. Any film can become a worldwide attraction, especially with the addition of dubbing or subtitles that translate the film message. Films are also artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them.

Public relations

Public relations (PR) is a way for companies, organizations or people to enhance their reputations. This task typically is performed by public relations professionals or PR firms on behalf of their clients. PR usually involves communicating with the media and through the media to present the clients in the most favorable way possible. It also often involves cooperative efforts with other people and organizations to create good will within the community and enhance the client's image.

PR Departments

PR can give consumers and the media a better understanding of how a company works. Within a company, a PR department might also be called a public information department or a customer relations department. These departments assist customers if they have any problems with the company. They usually try to show the company at its best. PR departments also might conduct research to learn how satisfied customers are with the company and its products.

Advertising promotes a product, service or event to its target audience. A target audience is the portion of the general public that products, services or events were created for to fill a desire or need in the marketplace. Advertising is written by advertising copywriters and finished with artwork by graphic designers. The channels advertising is run through to reach its target audience includes Internet, print, broadcast, outdoor and point of purchase (POP).

Media, like data, is the plural form of a word borroweddirectly from Latin. The singular, medium, earlydeveloped the meaning “an intervening agency, means, or instrument” and was first applied to newspapers twocenturies ago. In the 1920s media began to appear as asingular collective noun, sometimes with the pluralmedias. The word media is connected with many different words and definitions, for example; the word”social ". In general, the term “social media” implies the number of activities that include socializing and networking online through words, pictures and videos. Also, social media can range from social bookmarking, where all users have a chance to share their online libraries of links and connect to each other’s lists within a definite online community, to online collaboration spaces. I just wanted to say that I agree that social media has a lot of potential for becoming a way to communicate with everyone. It can also be a powerful way to get the word out about public policies that we desperately need more awareness and support with.

Photography

Photography is the art of capturing light. Effective lighting can dramatize, beautify and change the mood of a picture. There are a variety of studio lights available in the market that can confuse any amateur. That is why it is important for beginners to learn the basics of setting up studio lights. There are plenty of ways to learn the craft but doing so takes time and effort. Photography supports the engagement effort.  Quality photography helps to tell the story clients are enthusiastically trying to share.  Good photography helps brands look professional. Photography is still important.  It’s the photographer’s job to demonstrate this in today’s marketing environment through multiple uses and creative strategies.

Disadvantages Of Social Networks

Social networking is a recent invention that has the Internet still at the edge of its seat due to its popularity with people. This is mostly because it really is for the people. Bringing every kind of social group together in one place and letting them interact is really a big thing indeed. Everything about it lies on the advantages and disadvantages of social networking, and what it can do for you. However, my concentration is about the disadvantages.

Lack of Anonymity

You are putting out information about your name, location, age, gender, and many other types of information that you may not want to let others know. Most people would say be careful, but no one can be certain at any given time. As long as people can know who you exactly are, then some can find ways to do you in. moreover, this kind of copying without giving rights to the write is called plagiarism and it is illegal in most places, especially universities, and you get punished if anyone find you did that.

Time Consuming

If this is not your kind of thing, than it would just be a waste of time for you. The key to social networking is that it is supposed to be fun, whether you are just doing it for kicks or clicking around for business purposes. That should be reasonable enough for anyone, but there are those people who don't see the point. For them, it can be a disadvantage.

Now there is something to really think about. Nothing is without a blemish, but those of this type of networking shouldn't really be that much of a concern regarding your safety. As long as you go along without making big mistakes, then it is all good. You can take advantage of the Internet that continues up to this day.

Once you understand the disadvantages of social networking, then you can use it just the way you got it.

Children & TV !

Television is one of the most prevalent media influences in kids' lives. Researchers have identified three potential responses to media violence in children:

Increased fear, Children, particularly girls, are much more likely than adults to be portrayed as victims of violence on TV, and this can make them more afraid of the world around them.

Desensitization to real-life violence, Some of the most violent TV shows are children's cartoons, in which violence is portrayed as humorous—and realistic consequences of violence are seldom shown.

Increased aggressive behavior, This can be especially true of young children, who are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior after viewing violent TV shows or movies.

Parents should pay close attention to what their children see in the news since studies have shown that kids are more afraid of violence in news coverage than in any other media content. Fear based on real news events increases as children get older and is better able to distinguish fantasy from reality.

Citizen Journalism

The idea behind citizen journalism is that people without professional journalism training can use the tools of modern technology and the global distribution of the Internet to create, augment or fact-check media on their own or in collaboration with others. For example, you might write about a city council meeting on your blog or in an online forum. Or you could fact-check a newspaper article from the mainstream media and point out factual errors or bias on your blog. Or you might snap a digital photo of a newsworthy event happening in your town and post it online. Or you might videotape a similar event and post it on a site such as YouTube.

All these might be considered acts of journalism, even if they don't go beyond simple observation at the scene of an important event. Because of the wide dispersion of so many excellent tools for capturing live the average citizen can now make news and distribute it globally, an act that was once the province of established journalists and media companies.

Advantages of the Internet

The internet, sometimes called simply “the net”, is a worldwide system for computer networks that allows users to send and receive information from other computers. Today, the internet is the most powerful tools throughout the world. I think using internet has more advantages than disadvantages and I am going to show that.

24 hours a day- 7 days a week: even if no stuff is in your office, visitors will come to your website using internet. Also, you can do your business in your home or even if you were outside the country.

Online chat: you can access many “chat rooms “on the web that can be used to meet new people, make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.

Software download: I think this is the most important especially for teenagers who are interested in computer technique. They can freely download innumerable, software like utilities, games, music, videos, movies, etc.

Original Songs in New Edition

Who doesn’t like to listen to music or watch video clips, especially if they were entertaining and very popular? Boyce Avenue is a very famous band which gains its popularity from YouTube (kind of mass media). They cover the top listening songs by their own voices and unique using of musical Instruments. Besides that they are very professionals, they represent raucous songs in a calm way that attracts you, sometimes their covers are much better than original song. In this video we can see the same person singing and playing many different instruments at the same time, that need them to train very well. They definitely have musical sense to be able to do that and due to media, it helps them a lot to spread their music and get a lot of fans around the world.      

FACEBOOK

FACEBOOK

Facebook has simply changed our life in many things, such as helping many people to connect with each other in different places around the world no matter how far it was and what time it is in other countries. Facebook has made a big improvement in different field, like business field, political field, educational field, and most importantly in our daily life and daily purposes. As an example, companies have their own pages on facebook so they can advertise their own products and communicate with other companies through distance. Politically, facebook is one of the most important methods to solve some cases or to start a new life as what happened recently in Syria and Egypt. Revolutions in these countries have started by a certain group on facebook how wanted to change the current situation and give people freedom.  Also, Education has been an important field on facebook. To explain this, schools and especially universities have their own pages on facebook and therefore many students, instructors, parents and administrators became fans and members of that page, and what they do is, posting recent events or news regarding school activities and so on. Besides that, parents can be aware of their children. Another significant thing is how people create their own pages on facebook so they publish their diaries, talents, pictures, experiences and special moments, and that will get them to know more people from different countries who have the same interests and share the same favorites. As a result, people will communicate with each other and expand to different cultures and traditions. So it is absolutely true when they say that facebook has changed the world.

Awkward moments!

 

 

Awkward moments!

Nowadays, media has expanded its usual ways of presenting news; it’s not limited to reporting political and economical news only, its mission extended to be one of the most embarrassing methods especially for celebrities.

They may do this to promote their business or to refresh their names between the huge amounts of celebrities.

Printing Press

How does Printer Press affect media? Printer is one of the visual types of media; it could be presented as newspapers, magazines, and books. Typically Printer Press was used for printing texts only when first invented in around 1440 by the German Johannes Gutenberg. It was very useful technology to publish your thoughts, beliefs, and ideas in one book or novel so everyone can share your writings, if it was based on experience, short stories, or believes about something in your life, in order to show some of your cultural habits or some specific traditions that are related to your hometown. As a result, audience will response to your writings by giving opinions and comments based on their knowledge and cultural factors. Also, it makes the world a smaller place in your office, car, or home when every day you hold your newspaper and start reading news and events from all over the world just in few minutes. Printers also clarify what you are looking for by providing images as an evidence to let you know more about what you are reading, in order to create in your imagination a clear picture about what is happening around you.
