COMMUNICATION AND EVERYDAYLIFE

As everybody observes, issues and problems related to communication can be observed and felt in our everyday lives. Most problems and themes we cover in our courses are directly related to our everyday understanding – commonsense – and behavior. The following essays have been written by our students who took MMC 101 this fall. We just wanted to follow those texts with other people who are interested in the world of communication

INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION AND MY FRIENDSHIP

Generally in our daily life we mostly think, hear and consider about interpersonal,group and mass communication but the starting point of our communication is us, its starting inside us.When we dont know about our feelings,expectations,emotions we can not transmit it to onether one.We have a chance to know us much better when we do intrapersonal communication with ourselves and if we do, know ourselves,ourplans, expectations, feelings,ideas, empty places in our soul then we can express ourselves to another one more effectively and in a efficient way.As an example a few weeks ago,I had a some serious problems about communication with my friend in this university,we had started to fight almost everyday.We were a good friends and also we were same mind.After a while one day,at home I started to talk to myself about this friendship,I criticise myself,I tried to findout what really I want from this relationship and what I am expecting from that friend.Moreover I tried to find out where I did wrong,what were the empty places that my friend cant put enough things that I needed.I was alone at home and I talked to myself as a real person with me.I was relaxed,I talked everything honestly to myself,I learned myself, I discovered some missing points that I couldnt realized before.After all these,just one wek later when I went to school,I have spoeken with my friend about our friendship and as I learned later he had done samething,intrapersonal communication when he was alone.Now we have a beter riendship with himself and we can transfer our expectations,feelings,our sensitive points,our fears,ideas,our untouched places in our souls to each other because we know ourselves much beter in this meaning.
