Communication Contexts: Who, How and Why?
Intrapersonal Communication is a communication context which involves one person only and the very communication happens on an internal level, in the mind of that person. Also known as self-talk, intrapersonal communication is, just like the other types of communication contexts, about sharing meaning, but here it is more of a clarifying process rather than a sharing one, making a person capable of understanding their own thoughts and conclusions. This way the person reaches a more useful meaning and it becomes easier for them to understand past and adapt to current circumstances or possible future ones.

This type of communication allows us to inform huge numbers of people about something, but they also lack a personal touch and intimacy, which many times makes people involved in it unlikely to even reach the message. As mass communication could happen in spoken as well as in written manner, people use various ways of skipping the message, such as turning the TV on mute, deleting a spam email or changing the radio channel.
Some TV commercials are one of the most annoying examples of mass communication. While some could be made really interesting and involving, others are just waste of precious time and lacking any sense of imagination and creativity. All commercials, however, achieve their goal if they actually reach audience: they create mass communication and spread the news they want to spread.
It is hard for me to say which communication context I dislike, as there are examples of each I don’t find really useful and pleasant, and yet there are also examples I enjoy very much. Perhaps mass communication would be the context I dislike most frequently as few commercials impress me with creativity and
