In our reading the one interesting topic was the theories if
communication was intentional or not. I found the argument between not meaning
to send communication messages or if communication is unintentional behavior.
I have to agree with the side that says, “Communication is a
process whereby people assign meanings to stimuli in order to make sense of the
world”. I feel like when we are communicating we say what is on our minds and
any behavior that follows those words is how we feel. I don’t think you can send messages by
accident. I believe the first reaction is the reaction that you made
unintentional because that’s the way you felt at the time. It might not be the
right one, but it is the first that came from a reaction.
In the example the book uses between Brianne and Brennan
where Brianne frowns and didn’t know that she was being watched so her reaction
was not considered communication, I feel is wrong. Some people will try and
change their reaction or say they were kidding because of the embarrassment of
their reaction.
