Since we can exist only within our own heads, it is perfectly natural for us to assume everyone else thinks, perceives, and communicates as we do. The only world we can experience is the world as we see it, and it can be very challenging to understand that varied perceptions, values, and beliefs exist which are equally valid.

After doing this several times, the introduction and early part of the body is getting a lot of attention; however, once a speaker gets through the entire speech, little effort is made to work all parts of the speech equally.

Not only could we use his text as a starting point, he also invited major revisions that would allow the text to fit our varied pedagogical approaches. The result is a text that covers the basic concepts of communication as they might be taught in a hybrid introductory communication course.

We all have significant people and groups with whom acceptance and belongingness are important, and, as a result, we monitor how those people are responding to us and use those clues to create an image of how we believe they are thinking of us.

Stereotypically, men complain about women talking too much, and women complain about men not talking enough. While there are many stereotypes and assumptions about how men and women communicate differently, there is growing acknowledgement that there are communication styles that are more feminine and communication styles that are more masculine.

Students in long classes may experience the distraction of needing to use the restroom, counting the minutes until the teacher takes a break, obviously not focusing very well on the content of the course.

As we speak and listen, learn about each other, and get to know each other in personal ways, relationships grow and thrive. Our relationships are defined by how we communicate, including what we talk about, when we talk about it, and how we respond. The substance of relationships is how we communicate. Interaction is comprised of what we tell each other (disclosure) and how we attend to each other’s disclosure (listening).
