Analysis of interpersonal communication as seen in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

There is no good and proper time to fall in love. In fact, most love stories derive from the most unlikely of circumstances. When two successful, career-driven individuals set out to advance their career at the unsuspecting expense of each other, the idea of falling in love couldn’t have been further from their minds. In the Paramount Studios 2003 film, “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days”, what began as a selfish work project for a young successful man and woman, ultimately ended in the pair falling in love. Both parties are challenged to manipulate one another for their own personal gain. Throughout the film we see the interpersonal communication between the pair as they set out to achieve their goals over the course of a 10 day period.

Throughout the first half of Communication 101: Introduction to Human Communication we have been introduced to and discussed a lot of new concepts, ideas, and terms. All of this new material has been pertinent to how humans interact with one another, while also informing us of the why and how behind these interactions as well. The amount of new information we have learned would be impossible to cover and apply to one piece of pop culture, but a lot of what we have learned is relatable to the movie 50 First Dates. This 2004 movie featuring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore features numerous examples of normative relationships and key concepts that we have learned about in class. In this paper I will not only introduce communication terms

My advice to you for a successful relationship is to be open and honest with each other about how you feel. It starts by identifying barriers to effective interpersonal communication. In fact, being open and honest with your significant other is very important in not creating problems later on the relationship. When you are honest you build trust. According to Pope (2007) the article states “When you’re suppressing communication and feelings during conflict with your husband, it’s doing something very negative to your physiology, and in the long term it will affect

Effective communication is one of the most important things to maintain a happy relationship. Communication will help to create a better atmosphere and to know what are the interests, thoughts and feelings of your loved one. All romantic relationships need a lot of communications from both sides. The main factor is interpersonal communication, which couples are able to overlap environments and create a relationship. We reviewed the movie “The Breakup” and have found the concepts of Integrating, differentiating, and terminating. This movie shows how ineffective communication can dissolve a relationship. The lack of communication is the main factor why Brooke and Gary break up. This couple tends to rely on other people instead

When this assignment was given out, I instantly knew exactly what relationship I wanted to analyze: my ex-boyfriend’s and my relationship. It might sound like an odd relationship to choose, seeing as he is an ex, and it might not sound like a good starting point, but let me first say he is one of my best friends right now.

‘500 Days of Summer’ is the movie that I have selected in order to relate to the Knapps relationship development model. Tom meets Summer in the elevator for the first time and she starts a casual talk with Tom on what type of music he is listening to with his headphones on. This particular scene in the movie is similar to the initiating stage of the relationship development model. Apart from the above discussion they also discuss about how each other’s weekend was during the time they were together in the elevator.

While any relationship can be difficult, romantic ones seem to be the most complicated. Interpersonal communication can be defined in many ways but is usually described as communication among those in a close relationship (Alberts 189). The Break Up is a perfect movie that will show examples of the definitions used. Individuals initiate relationships with those they see as attractive, while physical appearance is critical in forming a relationship so is a mental and the ability to communicate effectively. When initiating a potential romantic relationship flirting comes in many forms. Ambiguous flirting isn’t overt or obvious

According to Adler and Proctor (2011), it talks about responding to transgressions and some examples to that would be coming to an acceptance, rejection and discussion. In the movie “Inside out” we discover how all the emotions try to steer the way to control the little girl “Riley” mind but one specific character by the name of “Joy” is basically the one in charge of them all and tries to take on more of the responsibility in situations. Throughout the movie something happens to Riley and her emotions

Where as each individual theory portrays a number of different stages and processes of learning to know or develop a relationship with a person, they all show that relationships go through a series of stages as they mature.

Meet the Fockers is a movie about two families who meet to prepare for a wedding, but some funny and surprising things get in the way when secrets are revealed. Ben Stiller plays the groom, Greg Focker, and Teri Polo plays Pam Byrnes, the bride. The two of them decide to finally bring their families together to settle out wedding plans. As the their families get to know each other things do not go well. Greg knows that his family is not a typical family so he tries to impress Pam's family by downplaying the strange ways of his parents. This paper studies communication in the movie by looking closely at eight specific communication principles and applying them to eight scenes.

It is impossible to get through life without communicating. Better interpersonal communication skills help us success in different aspects of our life. He’s just not that into you is the movie that I will analyze. In this movie, there are nine main characters and they live intertwine with one another either by being a friend, a couple, friend of a friend. In this paper, I will explore how Gigi is using interpersonal communication on the evolution of personal relationship; and how she applies better communication skills in her relationship with others. Terms that I will apply and analyze in the films are: Perception, stereotype, mind reading, prototype, verbal communication, and the ambiguous of language, the abstract of language,

(i.e.: DO NOT say: “They were poor listeners in that scene. So, I feel that they should have listened better.” Another no-no

It is significant to state that there are similarities and differences between Sternberg’s theory of love and a biblical model. First and foremost, from what I can assimilate, the similarities between Sternberg’s theory of love and a biblical model are seen in intimacy and commitment. As scholars have concluded, intimacy includes trust, honesty, supportiveness, and being open. As far as commitment goes, we can see that there is loyalty, devotion, putting others before oneself, and the fact that we need each other. From a biblical standpoint, Jesus Christ wants nothing more than to offer all these things to us, but at times we are not willing to accept these gifts. The answer to perhaps fulfilling love,

Interpersonal communication greatly enhances the ability to realize your optimum performance. The interpersonal communication skills of listening, questioning and feedback are crucial to excel in the discipline/field of the arts. By applying these skills on and off the set, behind the camera and in front of it, the benefits are plentiful; when these skills are utilized each party’s, feeling are acknowledged, as such respect is conveyed. The acknowledgment and discussion with variation in thoughts, opinions and knowledge can induce the river of creativity to flow fluidly, the current of an idea to evolve into a greater inspiration of imagination or allow and encourage the opportune knowledge to revel in a deeper understanding of the depicted

Ask any Indian who Karan Johar is, and I assure you at least 9 out of 10 Indians will know who he is. He is a famous Indian film director, screenwriter, costume designer, actor, producer and television star; you could say he has multiple identities within the Bollywood industry. In Bollywood, he is known to have a ditzy personality, be gossipy, overdramatic and witty. In my opinion, the life of people in the Bollywood industry or any film industry is a bit of a gray area; people make a lot of assumptions about their life. We have a preconceived notion of how the Bollywood industry functions, most of our assumptions are based off the media's depiction of their world. Reading Karan Johar's autobiography, The Unsuitable Boy, unveiled a new side to this "glamorous" industry. By flipping a few pages, I got an insight into the unsuitable boy's "actual" identity through pure self-disclosure.
