Communication is
communication that occurs in
your own mind. It is the basis
of your feelings, biases,
prejudices, and beliefs.
Examples are when you
make any kind of decision –
what to eat or wear. When
you think about something
– what you want to do on
the weekend or when you
think about another person.
Interpersonal communication is the
communication between two people but can
involve more in informal conversations.
Examples are when you are talking to your
friends. A teacher and student discussing an
assignment. A patient and a doctor
discussing a treatment. A manager and a
potential employee during an interview.
Small Group communication is communication within formal or
informal groups or teams. It is group interaction that results in decision
making, problem solving and discussion within an organization.
Examples would be a group planning a surprise birthday party for
someone. A team working together on a project.
One-to-group communication involves a
speaker who seeks to inform, persuade
or motivate an audience.
Examples are a teacher and a class of
students. A preacher and a
congregation. A speaker and an
assembly of people in the auditorium.
Mass communication is the
electronic or print
transmission of messages to
the general public. Outlets
called mass media include
things like radio, television,
film, and printed materials
designed to reach large
audiences.
A television commercial.
A magazine article.
Hearing a song on the
radio. Books,
Newspapers, Billboards.
The key is that you are
reaching a large amount of
people without it being
face to face. Feedback is
generally delayed with
