Explain Why Number 1-4 Could Be Seen As Procedural Communication

Decent Essays
I understand how number 1-4 could be seen as task communication because it is giving out information but I still believe that it makes more sense as procedural communication since it is getting the group started and trying to get them talking about what needs to be done. I agree with you that maybe lines 19-22 might not be task communication. It kind of makes more sense to be seen as procedural communication since they are summarizing each other ideas and not putting forth new ideas. Each person does have shared and equal power in the conversation. Not one person is leading and controlling the power which is decentralized when thinking about the interaction pattern. I agree this group did handle the discussion effectively.

    Understand hierarchies. When communicating with a different culture, there may be unwritten rules about social hierarchy that you are not used to.[4][5] For instance, you may come from a culture where men and women are expected to communicate equally with each other, but may have to interact with someone from a culture where men may do more talking in mixed company. Similarly, you may be communicating with someone who expects that a younger person should let an older person do most of the talking, while you expect people across age groups to communicate equally. Be respectful and tolerant.…

    For the first major assignment for Professor Julia Green’s Communication 211 for Spring 2016, I partnered with classmates Lori Rainey and Sarah Beattie to “analyze how the different forms of communication yield different results when it comes to communicating” (Green, Week 4 - Major Assignment 1: Blog). By going through the exercises, I have reconfirmed that the form of online communication best suited to me is email versus social media such as Facebook, or texting. Unlike some people, I find texts are more difficult to respond to for many reasons, including the limitation of the touch-screen keypads, as well as the synchronicity of the communication, depending on the user’s attention to their phone. As an example, I routinely forget my cell…

    Week 2 Application Assignment: Group Dynamics and Group Stages In 1965, Bruce Tuckman developed one of the most influential models of “the developmental stages in a small group” (Bonebright, 2010, p. 111). It is a four stage model in which each stage needed to be completed in order to reach optimum group functioning. These stages were dubbed “forming”, “storming”, “norming”, “performing”. Later in 1977, he and Mary Ann Conover Jensen added “adjourning” as a fifth stage in his model (Bonebright, 2010).…

    Findings After collecting the data through participation and observation, the researcher found that the group identity (in a religious organization) is clearly acting upon, not only strengthening the bonds among the members but also bolstering self-identities of individual members in a positive way. Particularly, qualitative findings emerged through the researcher’s discrete observations, that is, about verbal and nonverbal communication patterns that occur repeatedly among group members. Therefore, here, the researcher divides such communication patterns under the four stages that the researcher identifies and introduces for readers. The Four Stages of the Usual Communication Patterns among the Members at the Catholic Student Beta Organization:…
