Communication Theory Discussion 3,4,6,7

This discussion revolves around  Chapters 8, 13, 15, and 16 from Communication in the Real World, in which we consider the role culture has to play in the way we communicate with each other. We also learn about the very important aspect of small group communication dynamics and how we form small groups. We also end the semester with discussion about the impact media and technology have on our communication and what we can expect in the future. Therefore, for your fourth Unit discussion activity of the semester, let’s focus on these chapters. ____________ For your this discussion, then, identify a concept or theory from one of the chapter sections from the assigned chapters in Communication in the Real World, and, second, reflect on its significance (in approximately 250 words).
