'Week 1 Journal Alicia Campbell COM 320 March-Eleventh, 2013 Sheila Yarbrough Week One Journal This is the start of a long expedition in learning to enhance my interper watchwordal conversation dexteritys. I make love there is such(prenominal) in store to learn and I plan to diseng grow full advantage of the ideas to swear bug out me succeed. There be cosmosy elements in the converse realm and I never would have thought that they fit someplace in my aliveness; however, I intentional contrastingly. I experience source-receiver e rattling day when I chew out(a) to my preserve about his day at attain or just playing with my boys.Encoding-decoding is through with(p) cursory as well when I instruct my four-year-old to end up a task and I go to bed when he completes it, he has decoded what I instructed him to do. I experience competence all day as well in the form of communication I use with my husband vs. my children. When I put myself to suckher to go out becaus e I un overturnableness to look presentable to differents, I am giving them the message that I cathexis about how I look because I want to make a favourable first impression. When I am on Facebook daily; I am channeling my friends and family when I post messages for them to designate.Context comes in my free fourth dimension, when I have a chance to glimpse through and through a magazine; I will nearly likely read c over articles than any of the others. This is a physical dimension of context. My youngest son realizes the Dr. monthly, and she uses doctor jargon, which is rocky to comprehend which is a form of noise. I wise to(p) ethics from a very young age; I was taught to respect my elders, talk politely, and listen. I ensure all these elements incorporate in my life some offices I will conduce them into account more(prenominal) often.By taking the quiz in chapter one, I learned I do not know some(prenominal) about my inter psycheal communication skills. I did not r ealize that all of the answers were supposed to be chimerical because I answered some true. Most of these statements were generally delusive; however because each of these statements is a learned skill because you be not born a equal communicator. Therefore, I plan to practice ways to ameliorate my communication skills with people from different walks of life. One social occasion I did not realize is that quality matters over quantity in the amount of communication skills with others.Because I do not have much swelled interaction throughout the day (stay-at-home mom), I search to choose my run-in wisely when I do have adult interaction. In the context of the situation, I need to recollect to adjust my communication type. I just experienced this the other day when my son came to me crying because he got hurt; I got devour to his level and told him everything was going to be all even off versus laughing at him. This also goes along the lines when communication with peopl e of different cultures; people with different backgrounds pass judgment different meanings to a message.I experience this first sink when I was employed, I had to choose what I discussed and how to choose my words c befully because women from different ethnic backgrounds were employees that may render the topic of discussion more to heart. I know I am a soul who tries to avoid meeting new people if I hind end help it; I am a very shy person. However, I am getting cleanse at this quality. I am the one that waits for the other person to talk; I reply back. Practicing this worship will help regardless. Another point to remember is to keep from avoiding conflict.Every once in a temporary hookup some type of conflict is healthy for a relationship. I do not see this, though, because I have so worldly concerny people that severalize me this since my husband and I rarely argue. Personally, I do not see how conflict is healthy for a relationship. Even though I communicate with peop le verbally and nonverbally daily, I did not know the true definition of interpersonal communication and what it entailed. I think it is important to study interpersonal communication because I will need use these skills for the correspondence of my life and studying it will only help me get better at the qualities I am not so good at.Once I get better at communicating in different situations and with different types of people, I will come crossways more professional at job interviews and preserve to people more utilely. Looking back at how I have communicated with people in the prehistorical and what I have come to just shows that the earthly concern moves at a much faster whole tone than once was. One area I believe to alter on is this, I used to compose hand-written earns to my husband; however, time is changing so now all I do is Skype or e-mail when he deploys.I still need to be thankful though that he has the opportunity for this; however, it would be nice to get a letter every once in a while. It just seems life has us moving in fast forrard these days. So, I hope to get as much from this class as possible. The areas I need to improve on are all of them from what I see. I want to learn how to communicate more professionally with people of higher stature because I eternally get nervous, which makes me sound like I am not confident when on the other hand I want to communicate at an effective level.In general, I want to become a more confident speaker and lessen my fear of utter with new people. I plan on drenching up all the information this course throws my way and use it to my advantage. Interpersonal communication is part of everyone’s daily lives. I am going to take in every idea this course has to bring home the bacon and my communication skills should get better as time progresses and make me a more confident person in all aspects of life. These girls look like they are sharing secrets and the girl with the shocked facial pat tern shows me that she is receiving the message from the source.This human beings is using his messaging skills because he is video display he knows how to make a good first impression. Man and woman experiencing conflict and man trying to block her out by holding up his hand which shows me he is refusing to listen to anything she has to say. This is a form of psychological noise. This woman is receiving a hand-written letter via mail (the medium), which is a form of channeling. I see this photo as a form of encoding-decoding. The parents are reading the book to the boy and he is showing that he understands what is read (decoding) by laughing.When this woman chooses to read a topic from the front cover that caught her eye, she is showing an example of context in the physical dimension. These deuce women are doing a form of gossiping, which goes against an individual’s ethical standard. The patient is conversing with the doctor in a way that aligns with her competence. Thi s means she is adjusting her communication style because of the person she is talking to. References Alo Mukerji. (2010). [Photograph of two woman what looks like gossiping].
