August 3, 2016 the registration day for freshman International students at Fullerton
College, most of the students were confused about which suitable-available course to take with
the good professor. And that day was the first time I was introduced to ‘Interpersonal
communication’, which turned out to be an amazing course to learn. As per definition
Interpersonal communication is the process by which people exchange information, feelings, and
meaning through verbal and non-verbal messages: it is face-to- face communication. Now,
following are the answers of few questions regarding the course.
Now, considering the first question presented, I could say that the communication skills
that I have learned and improved during this semester …show more content…
The communication theory that I would like to discuss is ‘Social Identity theory’. This
theory was given by Tajfel (1979). As per the theory, a Social identity is a person’s sense of who
they are based on their group membership(s) for example their nationality / social class / family /
ethnicity etc. which people belonged to were an important source of pride and self-esteem.
Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world. This way we
divide the world. In my personal experience, currently I had a social identity of an Indian and a
Hindu. I have seen my country getting united when we having a cricket match with
Pakistan(country) of which we have a mental image as our enemy(sorry I should not have

other consider as enemy, its actually because I was told that they are not good for us by other
people of same group.
This class was wonderful. What I like about this class is that the professor
