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.
An autobiography is a form of communication between the author and its reader. It is a large platform of communication; through interpersonal communication you are communicating with people whose lives mutually influence one another. (Communication In Real World, n.d )The way I see it, Karan decided to express his true feelings and thoughts to everyone, because his audience and his fans have a significant impact on his life as much as he does on theirs. He has exposed himself completely and has been remarkably candid about his thoughts. Before reading this book, I did not expect to learn so
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
A day in the life of a veterinary technician may include answering clients’ questions, providing written or verbal instructions regarding care of an animal, answering the telephone,
For this assignment I have chosen to focus on the film Good Will Hunting primarily because I have seen the movie prior to this course and I feel it is one of the best films I have gotten a chance to see. Will Hunting's profound genius was as much a burden as it was a gift. Initially seeing the film I enjoyed it but viewing the film in the scope of all that I have learned in this course made the viewing experience much more meaningful, as I now had a deeper understanding of Will's internal conficts, and how they directly effected his relationships, beliefs, and actions. The film is an excellent example of the issues involving interpersonal communication and how they play a part in either making or breaking our
The Breakfast Club is a movie that was directed by John Hughes, and was released in the spring of 1985. It is about five teenagers from different worlds, who all come together on a Saturday for detention. The movie is filled with a multitude of scenes that may apply to many of the course concepts found in Interpersonal Communication.
In society today, we encounter various types of interpersonal communication. We all must understand the balance and the outcomes communication provides, nonetheless, helps us improve in our own relationships. In David Russell's’ film, “ Silver Linings Playbook” the main character, Pat, is trying to rebuild his life and his marriage, all while having a mental disorder. By using the film and my own daily interactions in my life, I will be using terms and concepts to be able to analyze communication styles that are effective and ineffective.
Recently, the class watched the movie “Dan in Real Life” and many people would be surprised just how much of this movie relates to what the class is currently learning about.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize feelings and judge which feelings are appropriate for a given situation.
In Interpersonal Communications, it is important to understand how stereotyping can affect close relationships. When an individual uses stereotyping in a negative way, this in return negatively affects the relationship. This can lead to major problems in the long run. In Sweet Home Alabama, it is easy to see that false stereotypes lead to judgments reflecting badly on relationships.
In life, you never know if you can see the person you may see on the sidewalk or even across the stress. But, in all realities, that person may have a connection to your life.

* Body Paragraph #3 - Differentiate appropriate levels of self-disclosure and emotional intelligence in various relationships.
Like most other movies, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days uses many non-verbal cues to let the audience know how the characters are feeling and what they are thinking, art imitating life, as non-verbal communication is ingrained in everyday existence. Non-verbal communication is so pervasive in everyday life, in fact, that one may not even recognize consciously the cues given to them by others. One example of non-verbal cues in How to Lose a Guy took place in the Composure staff meeting at the beginning of the movie. While the woman perceived immediately to be a brown-noser tells her boss about the pieces she is working on, Andie and a friend are making facial expressions at one another that
