A model is an effort to modernize or remodel the connection supposed to occur between the items being investigated. Even though models are assorted we can arrange them according to the reason for which they exist, in this case, their purpose. It has been recognized that when communication occurs, messages often circulate from both the receiver and the source simultaneously. Although there are many models of communication, Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication is the most applicable for demonstrating what takes place when the message is found to be presenting a problem, in the film ‘’Wag the Dog’’. Barnlund’s model demonstrates common experiences of both the sender and the receiver. It also shows messages

    Go Dogs Go, not only is memorized into my brain, but is sitting on my bookshelf with tape holding the cover on, and the color of the illustrations fading every day, no longer the color they were. On page 5, I can still notice the cheesy, Cheetos fingerprint, even though my mother always told me to wash my hands after I finished eating, and before reading. Not only did I have memories with your book, I had journeys. Every time I listened to the book or as I mumbled, and stuttered, trying each word until I was old enough to fluently read this child’s book. Journeys flooding into my imagination as each word was spoken, or as each dog crossed the page.…

    Hamlin Garland's compelling short story, "Under the Lion's Paw," maintains a modern-day relevancy even though the story illustrates the grim struggle for survival in the late nineteenth century Midwest. People, today, face many of the same challenges as Mr. Haskins, the protagonist, in the story. Garland pits his nineteenth century protagonist against the hardships of farming and the unpredictability of nature.…

    For the first major assignment for Professor Julia Green’s Communication 211 for Spring 2016, I partnered with classmates Lori Rainey and Sarah Beattie to “analyze how the different forms of communication yield different results when it comes to communicating” (Green, Week 4 - Major Assignment 1: Blog). By going through the exercises, I have reconfirmed that the form of online communication best suited to me is email versus social media such as Facebook, or texting. Unlike some people, I find texts are more difficult to respond to for many reasons, including the limitation of the touch-screen keypads, as well as the synchronicity of the communication, depending on the user’s attention to their phone. As an example, I routinely forget my cell…

    The significance of the plot in Joyce Carol Oates’ “The Lady with the Pet Dog” The Lady with the Pet Dog by Joyce Carol Oates is a retelling of a story by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, but this time the author creates a ‘mess’ in the storyline that ultimately leads to our better understanding of the situation. The author uses the ‘in medias res’ plot strategy for better depiction of Anna’s mind. An ‘in medias res’ way of telling a story is when we are brought into the middle of some important moment in the plot.…

    As we delve deeper into our theories on interpersonal communication, we begin to learn more about ourselves and how to interact with the people around us. Whether they are in our lives on a personal, professional or combined capacity. This week I have decided to look at the theories of Interactional View and Genderlect Styles (Griffin, 2015). When we study Interactional View, a theory developed by Paul Watzlawick, we can see how communication has shaped us into the people we are today. Watzlawick uses axioms to describe his theory.…

    My thoughts on human nature can best be summed up by the character Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on, that’s who we really are.” Our ability to critically think about our behavior and make choices is what makes us human and sets us apart from our hominid ancestors. In fact, as far as other species are concerned, there is no concept of “good” and “evil”; there is predator and prey, threatening and safe, dominant and submissive. Morality is not a factor at play in the animal kingdom.…
