Communicating with Others
 There are many key factors in having successful communication
  with others
 Joseph Devito says that communication is, “ the act, by one or more
  persons, of sending and receiving messages that are distorted by
  noise, occur within a context a, have some effect, and provide
  some opportunity for feedback” (Marteney & Sterk, 3).
 For successful communication one must speak to the receiver of the
  message clearly, the message must go through noise. Now the
  receiver will interpret the message on how well the transmitter
  expressed their message. Lastly the receiver will let the source know
  if the idea or message was clearly understood.

FEEDBACK
   In a relationship communication is vital for the relationship to be a
    happy and lasting one. Each partner needs to people able to send
    their message properly in order for the other to understand clearly. It
    is the senders primary responsibility for the success or failure of the
    communication
   In a classroom the teacher needs to be able to communicate with
    the students properly in order for them to have a successful learning
    experience. It starts with the teacher and how he or she sends the
    messages. The receiver, the students, must be listening in order to
    capture the message correctly.
   Sender: the source of the message. They have the information that they want
    to share with someone else. The sender has the primary responsibility for the
    success or failure of the communication. The sender has the control over
    more of the variables in the communication process
   Encoding: the process in which the source takes an idea or thought and
    selects verbal and nonverbal symbols from their environment to send which
    accurately represents the idea or thought.
   Message: the content of the communication
   Channel: the medium through which the message passes. The channels are
    our senses like sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. “ the medium is the
    message”.
   Receiver: the target audience of the message. They have accountability for
    their communication behaviors by listening with respect and providing
    accurate feedback.
   Feedback: The information that is sent back to the source. It gives the sender
    and idea of how accurately they sent the message by what the feedback is
    from the receiver.
   Noise: anything that disrupts or distorts the communication process. It could
    be noises around the communication.
   Verbal Communication: is
    communication that uses language.
    Daily verbal communication is used by
    9% writing, 16% reading, 30% speaking,
    and 45% listening.

   Nonverbal Communication: is the
    exchange of messages through non-
    linguistic means. Body language, facial
    expressions and eye contact are all
    forms of nonverbal communication. The
    vibe you give off to others will affect your
    communication positively or negatively.
    It is like the phrase actions speak louder
    than words. A person may be saying
    “No” but everything else about their
    body language and expressions is saying
    “Yes”.

    COMMUNICATION SUCCESS RELIES ON
     VERBAL AND NONVERBAL CONSISTENCY
There are 5 communication environments
   Intrapersonal: communication with oneself. Thinking
    or talking to oneself.
   Interpersonal: personal communication with
    people you know. The interactants are in close
    proximity to each other.
   Small Group: at least one to three and no more
    than 12 or fifteen people in a small group. Small
    group members are able to communicate openly
    with all members of the group. The group must
    have a common goal. Group members will then
    develop their roles.
   Community: a set of more than fifteen people who
    exist together with some shared element. It is a
    group of people who interact with one another.
   Mass: the transmission of messages which may be
    processed by gate keepers or filters prior to being
    sent to large audiences. It is communication from
    one person or group of people through a
    transmitting device to large audience. Examples
    are television, newspapers, radio, etc.
   Miscommunication usually leads to
    an argument because it causes
    conflict. This happens very often
   An argument starts by a
    disagreement, confusion, or
    ignorance about an idea or
    thought which the arguer wants to
    resolve
   The end goal of an argument is to
    reach a conclusion which is
    persuasive enough to convince
    someone of something.
Truth: the complete accuracy of propositions, statements,
    sentences, assertions, and beliefs.
   On any subject there can be one and only one truth
   The threshold of truth is measured as absolute certainty
   Truth is tied to self-esteem, if a single truth exist there are two
    communicative problems (1) we do not know who knows it (2) we
    do not know if it can be accurately communicated to others
   Arguing over truth promotes dogmatism
   Acquiring truth is not the goal of a course in argumentation and
    critical thinking
Validity: an arguments internal consistency. It is the strength of
   our conclusions, inferences or propositions.
 On any one subject there can be valid positions.
 Validity is tied to the information available
 Arguing for the most valid position= open mindedness
 How to recognize valid positions and finding out which
   position is the most valid is the goal in argumentation and
   critical thinking
0%---------25%-------50%------75%-------99%
Opinion Assertion Inference Fact
Statements of opinion: not founded to be any observable
   proof, no certainty
Statements of assertion: made emphatically with no
   supporting evidence. It is an unsupported statement or
   claim
Statements of inference: based on observation and
   experience. It has a moderate degree of certainty
Statements of Fact: something that is commonly accepted in
   the current environment. It is based on verifiable
   evidence.
