Recommended: Communication and its effect

The readings this week focused on the idea of the growing and developing field of communication with an emphasis on the area of academia. These articles show a more hopeful side of communications that I rather focus on instead of some of the more depressing outlooks on the field that we have come across in class readings for the past few weeks.
I like many people changed my major multiple times throughout my undergraduate career. When I finally landed on two fields of communication that complimented each other, advertising and public relations. I choose to major in both with the hope of making myself just a little bit more marketable. As through my experience in politics and internships that having a wide range of skills was extremely valuable in real world. Although my ultimate goal is to do research and teach, I have always been one to prepare for a back-up plan.

    With this major, I will be able to further my education in ways to be healthy and possibly learn how to help others. I decided that being a health physician or nutritionist was something that I was really interested in. This is where communication studies come in. I figured that if I minored in communication studies, I could improve my oral and written communication to better help in my future of nutrition. Communication studies was a good pick for me because, although there is always room for improvement, I can still garnish with some more knowledge and information to better improve my oral skills.

    Throughout the semester, we have studied numerous communication theories. Their purpose is to help understand exactly what happens when we interact with others. We might not necessarily agree with all of the theories, but the idea is to develop tools to evaluate situations we may encounter. Often, when the theories are explained in the readings or lecture, it is beneficial to apply the concepts to a "real life" situation. Using this approach, I will use a situation that many of us have faced, or will face, and analyze it according to a particular communication theory.

    Communication is a huge part of our lives because through communication and language is that how we make sense of the world around us. Through language we can share information, express our feelings and creativities. In support, Stanley A. Deetz who wrote the book Democracy in an Age of Corporate Colonization, Dan O’Hair and Mary Wiemann who wrote the book of Real Communication has agreed on the concept of language is symbolic and we need language to better understand the world around us.
